Over in Akihabara, you’ll find one of many interesting events promoting the upcoming Gurren Lagann movie. There’s plenty to hype about since it’s one of the most awesome anime shows to come out of Japan in a long while. From August 22 thru November 15, the Cure Maid Cafe will be running a special Gurren Lagann Cafe menu and decor.

The dishes that have been designed for the event look absolutely delicious. Pictured above is the “Gurren Plate”. What I find most amusing is the use of Bugles snacks, which represent the drill theme that binds the show together.

Akibabana’s Cherry gives us a tour and a taste test:

Throughout the cafe, they’ve covered the walls with Gurren Lagann artifacts supplied by Gainax. While you dine, you can feast your eyes on storyboards, character model sheets, and other production materials.

The Gurren Lagann movie is due out in Japan September 6th, with a special exhibition to be held at the Tokyo Anime Center during the same week.
