What this is
Fans of the KING OF PRISM franchise get a dedicated themed café experience built around newly drawn visuals from the latest entry, Tri-Star Act. Animate Cafe — Japan's premier anime collaboration café chain — transforms its Ikebukuro and Osaka locations with franchise-themed food, drinks, and exclusive merchandise available only during the run. The Osaka edition is a traveling pop-up held at the event space beside Animate Cafe Osaka Nipponbashi across several limited weekend windows.
Who should go
KING OF PRISM fans, particularly those who follow the Pretty Rhythm extended universe. Casual anime café visitors without prior franchise knowledge will find little to engage with here.
Good to know
Reservations are handled through the Animate Cafe official website — the lottery system requires a Japanese account, so foreign visitors should register early and use a translation tool if needed. Animate Cafe collaborations typically charge per food or drink item ordered (usually ¥1,000–¥2,000 each) rather than a flat entry fee, and exclusive coasters or bromides are distributed with orders. Limited merchandise sells out fast — arrive at opening time if walk-in slots become available. The Hareza Ikebukuro location is a compact stand-style café, so expect limited seating and a brisk turnover. Cash is generally accepted; card acceptance varies by location.
