What is the best time to recreate the anime angle here?

Weekday mornings to early afternoons are best, because the sidewalks are less packed than evenings or weekends and you get a cleaner line of sight toward the building frontage.

Aoba Suzukaze stands against the busy street frontage near Yodobashi Camera Akiba, with the urban scale of Akihabara emphasizing her new-working-life excitement.
This moment appears during Aoba’s time around Akihabara, when she is still a newcomer at a game company and sees everything around her with both excitement and a little anxiety. As she walks through a cityscape filled with large commercial buildings and passing traffic, the scene captures her feeling of standing in the heart of a lively urban center, thrilled yet slightly nervous. It is more than a simple transition shot, because it reinforces the realistic feeling of entering the workplace she once dreamed about; before this, she is still trying to adjust to her new working rhythm, and after this, she gradually becomes more at home in her new daily life. The real-life model is the streetscape around Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Akiba near Akihabara Station, and the anime reproduces the road layout, building massing, and broad commercial frontage with impressive accuracy. The wide roadway, corner perspective, and open feeling of the business district make the location immediately recognizable as Akiba. At the same time, the anime simplifies some details such as sign text, storefront information, and traffic markings, likely to avoid excessive realism or copyright issues. In reality, the signs, glass reflections, pedestrian density, and traffic are more visually complex, especially on weekends, but the overall structure and viewing angle remain very close, making this a highly identifiable spot and an excellent location for fans to compare in person.
