TAF 2007 Day 0

I’m currently in Japan attending TAF - Tokyo International Anime Fair.

GAINAX staffer Saito-san told us that director Yamaga-san’s birthday was coming up, so they invited us to dinner for a Yamaga-san mini birthday party.

So the place we headed off to is a restaurant called Opera-za no Mahoutsukai, or Mage of the Opera House.

All the waitresses were dressed up as maids, but it’s not your traditional maid cafe.
All the decor was goth-y, dungeon-y.
And they have strange & cute names for their menu items.

Director Yamaga-san said he’s been taking German classes, ever since he spent a month living in Germany.
He recently went to Egypt for production research too.
They seem to have lots of new projects on their plate, so they’re busy busy busy.

We ended the dinner w/ a sparkle-y fireworks parfait for director Yamaga-san, and the rest of us had “made at your request” parfait. Yum!
