During the most recent Comiket, a Puella Magi Madoka Magica vending machine appeared outside a shop in Odaiba selling (overpriced) cans of coffee. We think this is a tad exploitative, perhaps, since you are in fact paying for generic canned coffee and a Madoka Magica badge that is in the cylindrical pack. Would you pay […]

Chocolate lovers lend me your ears, eyes and tastebuds! I remember being slightly weird out when watching Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone and the chocolate frogs that Harry bought off the sweet cart onboard the train to Hogwarts, came to life and started jumping all over the place.

I have never tried ‘Butter Beer’ before the weekend. Whenever I heard the name mentioned in the Harry Potter movies my stomach would always gargle and it never sounded that appealing to me.
