Japan Is Getting Not One, But Two Amazing Cowboy Bebop Cafes

Japan Is Getting Not One, But Two Amazing Cowboy Bebop Cafes

Stay on target

Cowboy Bebop, in addition to being one of the greatest anime series of all time, is getting an honor that only the best series end up getting in Japan. Okay, that part’s a little made up, because it totally happens to pretty much any anime. It’s getting a special cafe! Okay, but here’s the kicker. It’s getting two cafes! One will be posted up in Tokyo, and the other in Osaka. As you can see, that list doesn’t include America, where yours truly is located, and that is a grave injustice.
It looks like if you’re as big of a fan of the show as I am, to the point where you hum the opening song “Tank!” while waiting in line at the grocery. Or you could sing “The Real Folk Blues” to look dramatic and wistful as you stare out the window of a backseat, then you’ll have to go to Japan. If you want to visit the cafes, that is. There’s not a lot of information about them floating around just yet though, unfortunately. We’ll have to put on our thinking caps and figure out what kind of goodies are coming to the shop until images come out.

So when the Cowboy Bebop Cafe opens up May 15 at the Animate Cafes in Tokyo’s Akihabara and Osaka’s Nipponbashi, you might see something fun and sweet based on Radical Edward the hacker, or something purple and yellow and lovely, like a grape Peeps dessert to represent Faye. That’s not lovely, but it’d be purple and yellow. A delicious plate of beef with bell peppers might represent Spike and Jet, minus the beef of course, because it costs too many woolong. I don’t know; it could happen!
In any case, we’ll have to revisit this when the cafe opens and see what’s really up for grabs. I imagine it’s going to be plenty of delicious treats based off an anime masterpiece. Who’s ready to go?

This Death Note and SpongeBob Crossover is Too Perfect Stay on target There are good crossovers, and there are great crossovers. We’re not talking about those terrible shirts where an anime or pop culture reference is mashed up for some sort of humorous design. We’re talking some of the best, like what’s been done with Death Note and SpongeBob SquarePants by some talented soul who we may never be able to truly identify. In this case, the two animated series join together in ways you may not have been able to see coming. One follows an underwater sponge who has hilarious antics, and the other a megalomaniacal high school student who can kill anyone he wants using a notebook called a Death Note. One fan took SpongeBob’s animated antics about trying to get some writing done to heart and combined it with a pivotal scene from Death Note, creating one of the funniest scen...

Here’s What Inspired Attack on Titan’s Creator to Write the Series

Here’s What Inspired Attack on Titan’s Creator to Write the Series Stay on target Ever wonder what kind of mind could come up with a show like Attack on Titan ? What must they be going through to conjure giant, remorseless beings that gobble up humans left and right without any real biological need to? The mind in question belongs to Hajime Isayama, creator of Attack on Titan , and he opened up not long ago in an interview with Japan’s NHK network on what inspired him as a youngster to write such an out-there story to begin with. Isayama was originally inspired to write about humanity being forced to build walls to keep enemies out because he was brought up in a similar way. Except Isayama’s “walls” were mountains, and not enormous Titans shambling around looking for a new human snack. The mountainous range in Oita made him feel isolated from the world around him, and he ...
