Two Doors Down (from Today's Megatokyo)
(Note the awning in the far right of the splash image;
compare to the awning on the left of this photo.)
I have pics of the actual Animate as well - I earned Gainax points there - but it's in video form so large and annoying to post. Also, I think we stayed in the building behind Piro in the last panel, but I'm not 100% sure. (It's either the hotel or another of the Sunshine City towers; from the angle I'd think it's the hotel, but it looks more like one of the other towers.) We walked up and down those stairs around where he's sitting several times; they have special troughs built in to the tiling for water runoff during typhoon season. To get to Namjatown from where Piro's sitting, you go in the entrance at the bottom of those stairs, turn left, and walk to the end of the shopping block, past the cluster of restaurants on the right. You can't miss it.
ETA: I took this photo from in front of the small park you can see in Google Maps view. The triangular shaped building in the wedge-shaped block across the street is the Animate in question.
