Akihabara Gundam Cafe & Bar Opens Tomorrow!

24.04.2010 by Adrian A. Lozano


Look out Starbucks the grand opening of the Akihabara Gundam Cafe and Bar starts tomorrow at 8:30am. I've lived here long enough to never expect much from these official type shops, most of the time they end up just being second rate souvenir shops with the same Anime goods found at Animate. I hope this Cafe & Bar is more than just another Otaku tourist trap (cough cough Tokyo Anime Center) and that people can actually hang out while getting their drink on.








Bandai will also be holding a SD Gundam Online event a few blocks away over at the Bellesalle Akihabara building this weekend as well. Have at it Gundam fans; I'll be keeping away from Akiba this weekend and trying the cafe's coffee on Monday.
