Cafes and Giant Mechs

Have you ever been to a restaurant that directly involves you with themed events and interactions?  Today we visited the Capcom Café and got to witness a planned zombie invasion as well as sample a variety of Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, and Phoenix Wright themed food items and beverages.  The service there was amazing, all of the waiters really put a ton of enthusiasm into their acts and the food tasted amazing.  I had a Dante strawberry parfait.  Two of my colleagues ordered Phoenix Wright onion rings that were stacked like gavel and hammer.  Though in America themed restaurants also exist, none of the waiters are as truly as into their roles and there aren’t videogames and TVs set up to play like they are here in Japan.  Overall, it was a truly amazing sight to see, and well worth the price.

Next we ventured to Odaiba where we saw the famed Mobile Suit Gundam statue.  As a Gundam fan for over 6 years, this was truly a sight to see.  At night it lit up and its eyes glowed a shining green that was truly breathtaking.  I had the honor of getting my picture taken next to it as well as buying a bunch of souvenirs at the Gundam Café including Haro chocolates and a coffee mug of my favorite character, Lockon Stratos.  Inevitably, today was a day filled with fandom and neat experiences.

GUNDAM IKUZE!
