I just finished Akihabara@deep which was quite good. The story is about a group of misfits brought together by a mysterious internet personality named Yui. The group then become troubleshooters for Akihabara. The show is much more adult than most jdramas and I would say its definitely not for children.

The show is very funny but also slightly creepy. The character of Daruma is particularly creepy. Kitamura Kazuki is also very good as the really strange/crazy/creepy Nakagomi Takeshi. I think the slightly creepy nature of many of the characters and the dark nature of many of the stories really makes this show. I really enjoyed it. The zombie episode was not one of my favorites, however.

In the show they eat a lot of Umaibo, which I've gotten to try. These are corn "sticks" that are the consistency of Cheetos and about the size of a candy bar with a hole running down the center. I sampled the seaweed flavor (I love nori flavored things) and found the Umaibo to indeed be delicious sticks. The characters also eat a lot of canned odon in the show, which is apparently very popular among otaku.
