What this is
Tied to the 'Ensemble Stars!! Cast Live Starry Symphony – Superbloom' concert event, this collaboration cafe brings the Superbloom theme to life across three Animate Cafe locations simultaneously. Fans can expect a limited menu of themed food and drinks alongside exclusive merchandise featuring mini character illustrations from the Superbloom arc. The run is split into two halves (July 31–August 18 and August 20–September 6), with a one-day closure on August 19 for ingredient changeover.
Who should go
Ensemble Stars!! fans who want to extend the Superbloom concert experience into a themed dining setting. Web lottery reservations are mandatory, so casual drop-ins won't work — this is squarely for dedicated followers who plan ahead.
Good to know
Reservations are handled via web lottery on the Animate Cafe official website — foreign credit cards are generally accepted on the site, but the interface is Japanese-only, so use a browser with auto-translate or prepare in advance. Each reservation slot typically includes a seating time limit of around 60–90 minutes. Exclusive merchandise (often coasters, acrylic stands, or bromides) is distributed with food/drink orders and sells out quickly — arriving at your reserved time promptly is essential. The Ikebukuro location is a short walk from Ikebukuro Station's east exit. All three venues run the same collaboration content, so fans outside Tokyo can participate at Nagoya or Tennoji without travelling to the capital.
