It’s finally happening—and it’s happening in the heart of Melbourne.

For the first time ever, Animaga is stepping beyond the convention floor and bringing a slice of Akihabara’s famed café culture straight to you. On Saturday, 31st May , we invite you to experience the sweetness, charm, and hospitality of a true Japanese maid café, right here at The Louden Kitchen & Grill (Mercure Welcome Melbourne, 265 Little Bourke St).

From 12:00PM to 4:00PM, our cheerful team of maids will be waiting to greet you with warm smiles and heartfelt “お帰りなさいませ、ご主人様！” as they serve up a pre-set meal and light-hearted entertainment in true Animaga style. Expect giggles, playful moments, and a vibe that’s straight out of your favorite anime café scene.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of Japanese pop culture or simply curious about what all the fuss is about, this one-day-only event is a chance to step into a world where service is a performance and every dish comes with a smile.
