Lawson, one of the largest chains of convenience stores in Japan, has opened an Evangelion themed store on the site of Tokyo-3.
The breadth of goods and theming is so extensive as to be most concisely described through pictures, of which there are a profusion below:
As might be expected of a “Tokyo-3” store, it is situated in Hakone; those wishing to pay a visit should note it appears set to close May 17th and revert to a more mundane status.
doh…. I went to japan last year and apparently went to that same store, just didn’t know it was THIS one….
Wow, I can [i]so[/i] imagine the potential nightmare a typical, non-anime-watching customer would face if one simply wants to get a box of detergent…
[b]Customer:[/b] [i]”A box of laundry detergent, please?”[/i]
[b]Store clerk:[/b] [i]”Sure. Would you like the Melchior, Balthasar or Casper variant? Would you prefer the Unit-00, Unit-01, Unit-02, Unit-03, Unit-04 or Unit-05 grade? Rei, Asuka or Mari flavours?”[/i]
[b]Customer:[/b] *o_0* [i]*Faints….*[/i]
Nevermind Bandai makes them.
*facepalm to headdesk*
