Collaboration CLAMP x Animate Cafe

[cutesherry.livejournal.com]

So freaking adorable!! CUTEST illustration ever of Syaoran!! <3 Spinel and him are the best looking characters in this new illustration by far!

And now that I'm done fangirling, let's talk about what this is about: the title of the entry says it all actually, this is a collaboration between CLAMP, and more specifically their series Card Captor Sakura, and Animate Cafe, in commemoration of CCS's 20th Anniversary this year.
There is going to be all kind of food, drinks and desserts at the image of Sakura and Syaoran.
There is also going to be limited original goods you can only purchase in the Animate Cafe (damn! think about international fans!!)
There will also be "benefits" for the customers who order menus, I suppose it must be all sort of little goodies?

**********************************************************
What is Animate Cafe?
Well, to begin with, Animate is a very popular and known national chain of stores selling all things manga and anime.
And they also run cafes: they are thematic, featuring decorations, food, cosplaying staff and limited edition goods from a particular manga/anime. The theme changes regularly, anywhere from one month to five months. Customers are happily able to enjoy the collaboration space, food, and services of the cafe. Since the collaboration changes often, the cafe is more like a theme park, offering customers a different experience each time they visit.
**********************************************************

It will be held in 8 stores, starting from April 1st, Sakura's birthday:

"Animate Cafe Ikebukuro Fukuoka Tenjin"
April 1, 2016 (Friday) to May 29 (Sun)

"Animate Cafe Sendai Okayama"

And since we are getting an CCS Animate Cafe, OF COURSE we are also getting goodies!!

Here goes the latest announcement about figures: the Color Collection DX by Movic, featuring Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero!

The release date is May 2016, and the pre-order period started on February 8th.
Preorder = Movic online shop(Japan only) and AmiAmi online shop (international)
Size = around 5cm (Kero around 3cm)
Price = 2500jpy + tax

I am buying! Or more like, I already pre-ordered them immediately after seeing them on Amiami teehee~
NONETHELESS, even though their costumes are quite emblematic considering this was the sweet/baking scene featured in the 3rd ending of the anime series, but it is still a shame they didn't make them at the image of the new illustration by CLAMP for the Animate Cafe event, since this is what it is all about.

This is a screenshot I took, but you can watch the full video of it right here:
