GUNDAM CAFE @ Akihabara! >:D
Apr 27th
Greetings, Gundam fans all over Malaysia! If you had missed the event at Odaiba Island of the life-size Gundam RX-78 last year, do not fret! Just last Saturday, a theme restaurant based on the popular Japanese sci-fi animation series ‘Mobile Suit Gundam’ had open in Tokyo’s Electric City, Akihabara! Dubbing the name GUNDAM CAFE, visitors can watch various videos providing information about the popular animation series, which began on television 31 years ago, while trying foods and deserts featuring its key characters and futuristic settings in the 60-seat maid cafe-like restaurant! Female staff member dressed in the uniforms of either from the Earth Federation or the Principality of Zeon will also act as models in the cafe, posing for photographs with visitors (you do not want to miss this!)
So remember fellas, if you drop by Akihabara, do drop by the Gundam Cafe! It’s just behind the Akihabara JR Station, you can’t miss it once you get off the train there
*well, there’s no life-size mobile suit to look at, but hey, instead of just looking, now you could be drinking! (gundam soda lol)

Key Promotes Drink in Angel Beats!
Apr 17th
In a clear case of either blatant product placement or just a parody OF other animes that promotes product with blatant placements, the latest episode of much maligned anime “Angel Beats” featured a scene where the main character was buying from a vending machine where in it was a canned drink with the logo “Key”, of which Naga and Maeda Jun, both prominent Key employees, were involved in the anime.
While the animation by P.A.Works might be a far cry from the ones that made by usual Key choice, Kyoto Animation, it’s interesting to note that Angel Beats! still remain quite popular.
Angel Beats! High Quality First Episode
Apr 6th
It was once said in a gag anime, that whatever budget a studio have for the season to make an anime, the bulk will always go to the first episode, so that it will be the highest quality. The logic behind it is simple really. The first episode is usually what makes or break the season, as it will give the viewers the initial glimpse of that series.
Well seriously someone forgot to tell that to P.A. Works, as seen by the first episode of Angel Beats! More >
