this honestly helps with my fomo so thank you for showing these pop-ups

The OHSHC cafe serves exactly the kind of food Tamaki thinks the “commoners” eat

Emily’s like the Gordon Ramsay of reviewing anime cafes

Connor with the claw machine and Emily with anime cafe. pretty interesting way to cope with addiction, by making content out of it.

Love that you draw Deru as Kirby every single time she gobbles up food that you can't eat.

I actually can't believe Emily managed to drag Connor out to a themed cafe

Actually, the combo Japanese curry and dark chocolate is quite popular! As someone who cook, I can say that's it's quite common to put one or two chocolate piece on your sauce :)

I’ve been rewatching these two videos about anime cafes from Emirichu so much, it’s not even funny anymore. Something about them is just super comfy and cozy, even as she’s ranting about bad food! 😂🖤

Kazuha’s specialty being bland must be the most ironic thing ever.. he has a line about how much he hates bland food 😭

31:34 let’s be real, if Kyoya heard that someone made a food inspired by him and it was something as commoner as a burger… we’d all be in for a world of psychological and physical suffering.

A little weird that the Miraculous Ladybug cafe had a school lunch vibe to its food, but it kinda makes sense since the characters still attend school. The desserts for it look so yummy, I wanna try it so bad T-T

The last 10 seconds (the demonstration of the merch she bought) is the perfect summary of how Emily's obsession has gotten more and more out of control. I love it.

For any tourists who wants to attend one of these collab cafes, please write down your English name in the registration even if they ask for a Japanese one. My girlfriend made a reservation with a Japanese version of her name and the staff informed us that officially, they require the registered name to be the same as your identification (passport) just to allow you to enter but they turned a blind eye in our case since we didn't know. We went to the Ouran High School Host Club collab cafe! I was soooo tempted to get that tea cup as well but due to it being a pre-order and shipping it back to our country would be exorbitant! Overall the merch and drinks were great but the food was meh. We also ordered the burger and curry rice and Emirichu is 100% right that the burger was not good hahaha!

The main feeling I get from this is that these Cafes rely on the enthusiasm of the fans and don't really try to blow you away with the food.

As a Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood fan, that café was definitely appropriately themed! All the dishes and drinks that were tied to each character matched perfectly. that Roy Mustang dish looked amazing and even the Philosopher's stone drink looked like the liquid version of a Philosopher's stone as well. Definitely appropriately themed!

Can we rename this Emily's Brutally Honest Cafe Reviews? I love this!!!

I am commenting so Emily gets her paycheck back--her dedication to collab cafes is both astonishing and concerning

So Connor has a crane game addiction while Emily has a collab cafe addiction. Got it. Can't wait to see more of your adventures!

More colab cafes in the US, please. I wanna go eat food that is cuter then it will ever taste.

It doesn't matter if it's games, or a cafe. Kirby goes all-in way more than it needs to and I love them for it. Kirby cafe even has it's own music.

I am just finding out that Emily is Lactose intolerant and seeing all the dairy she has consumed from these cafes is legendary even with the pills 🤣

Daidus: “Emily, please! We’ve been to 20 already!” Emily: “Haha! Budget go brrrrrrr…”

Emily now has like 3 videos dedicated to anime cafes. I love this girl.

I wish Emily had her own cafe as a side job for both art and youtube, I know probably I like Emily created a cafe inspired to other anime cafes she visited

Emily: I remove points for playing the same song over and over again Also Emily: Plays that same song throughout the segment

This series fuels me with so much joy yet unbridled rage, I'm fandom trash and yet incredibly practical so the bad food just BOILS MY BLOOD

The Fullmetal Alchemist cafe looked awesome with all the art and fancy food. That one looks like it won hands down. Also for algorithm. :)

I have rewatched this video so many times because it's so fun seeing all these cafes and the way you review them gives me a fun experience even from across the world. I hope you can continue this series, it's so exciting seeing you comment all of these places and I just love hearing your voice!

Connor got addicted to crane games, Emi got addicted to special Cafe restaurants

emily is in her peak content era I am living for us just going along for the ride as she indulges her crippling addiction to collab cafes 🙏 *edit:* deru is now my oshi for likewise encouraging emily's cafe obsession omg i LOVE friends who enable spontaneity!!

I may have shed a tear seeing the OHSHC café, I would have loved every second no matter how bad the food was, my nostalgia would feed me xD

Not sure how Lycoris Recoil doesn’t have their own cafe yet. The show is….. set in a cafe. Including several on-screen dishes (don’t sleep on the poop shaped chocolate cake) so you don’t have to resort to curry rice with a piece of paper with a character on it.

Emily is gonna be the reason collab cafes make better food 😂

It sounded like Emily was choosing everyone like the next Pokemon to throw into battle😂😂

These are such a great little look into the verity of quality at these little cafes. It's helping me learn what to look out for (like who's the restaurant collaborator) when trying to book an experience!

22:52 I come across this problem a lot, so I came up with an idea and it works, especially well, if there’s syrup in a drink, ask for no ice, it works you get more syrup, and your glass is full of just your drink, no ice that way, you can’t end up like 90% water in your drink try it 😏😏

Honestly these life style cafe vlogs with a hint of Emily's flair is my favourite version of her channel

I wish collab cafes were a thing in America. Going to a restaurant themed after your favorite TV show or video game sounds like so much fun.

I find myself always coming back to these two cafe videos. I'll put them on while I work and it's just so relaxing to have in the background while I go about my day. Thanks for these Emily.

omg i love this! i wish pop-up cafes would stay longer in tokyo, it's hard to plan your visit months out when they'll be gone by then

As a Canadian not in Toronto, I'm super jealous of all the cute things Japan seems to have!

I'm happy there exists a Genshin pop up Cafe with real versions of the speciality dishes from the game. I just wish I could witness it for myself 😭

These have been wonderful videos to watch. The FMA, FFXIV, Genshin Impact, SpyXFamily had a lot of interesting menu items, etc. Looking forward to seeing where you go for the 3rd Colab Cafe video. Hopefully you feel better. Keep up the good work.

Just finished watching both of these cafe videos finally. These were super interesting! As someone who never has been to Japan, seeing all the different food and drinks (regardless of how they may have tasted) was fascinating!

I'm so glad she has an adventure friend. Shout out too all those friends who r just down to hang out no matter how far.

Emi: Repeatedly says Anime Cafes serve terrible Pasta. Emi: Continues to order Pasta.

Ive watched a lot of anime since finding your channel and finally being able to be excited about themed cafes that had my favorite shows was a very pleasant surprise!! Love ur videos❤

I love watching these videos, and the one thing I have to say this time is I wish I was into Final Fantasy XIV when I went to Japan last before the pandemic because now I would LOVE to go to it. Also, I'm pretty sure the Square Enix Cafe that did FMA in your video did a Chrono Cross cafe when they re-released the game last year, and I was SO SAD that I was not able to go. The composer for the Chrono series did live music at the cafe as well, and that would have been my dream. The one thing I hate about partially following the collab cafes is seeing these once in a lifetime chances just gone because Japan wasn't open at the time.

22:24 Connor: "Not mid." *Emily gasps in shock.*

It's really sad that theme cafes have the worse food and are hit or miss when it comes to merch. Thanks for sharing the experience. It's starting to feel like "Emirichu tries blank cafe so you don't have to" and it's fun to watch!

Seeing these videos are so fun, as someone who was suppose to go to Japan but 2020 clearly had other plans for the world. Helps alot to see what kind of pop ups happen throughout the year and get a general idea of where to make reservations

I liked how thorough your reviews and rating systems were. Of course the Kirby cafe would be the best. (づ｡◕‿◕｡)づ

Emily has gone from the childhood crushes KZfaqr to the colab cafe KZfaqr and I'm here for it.

Emily is spending big bucks on the cafe visits, commendable dedication as a fan. Also hope she gets better food with any future theme cafe visits.

I am just gonna live through your anime café videos since I don't see myself going to Japan any time soon and they all look so cute.

I love this video so much!! I have watched it and your other anime cafe vid so many times... I just find them so sweet and comforting. Thank you so much for posting 💜💜

Considering her cafe addiction, a pop-up cafe dedicated to Emirichu would be perfect. A merch/collection journal is an awesome idea btw👍

Ok thats it. im going to japan right now

I've been loving these cafe videos! It's so fun to see all the interesting menu items they have.... even if that means chocolate ham XP

22:34 Well, with sour+milk or sour+bread you often have to be very careful, as acids separate out the casein from milk and sour+bread smells and tastes like someone already had eaten it and thrown it up again (because the stomach also is filled with acid).

Emily really out here emptying her wallet for bad pasta and meh lattes

All the friends: *ordering stuff based on the games and anime* Emily: "ooh spoon pretty"

this is my favourite type of video recently! ive been rewatching constantly, its very fun and relaxing to watch hehe

Truly, these were some collab cafes. I really appreciate how you stated your opinion about how awful something was and then just moved on - You didn't let your experience with the entree mess with what you thought of the dessert, or let the meal color your decision about the merch.

Channels like Emirichu are a lot more real than reality tv. TLC has nothing on Emily.

Thanks for taking us all out on so many cafe dates! Side note, I LOVE your journal! Memory loss and dementia is common in my family, I often worry that one day I'll forget my most special memories. Seeing the way you decorate the pages and write out your day, I wonder if I can do something similar for myself, for the future me. Thanks for the inspiration, buddy ♥️💘

i'd love to see a discussion video between you and your friends about what cafes you'd design (theme, menu, etc)

I'm so incredibly jealous themed cafe's don't exist where I live let alone anime cafes TT

Randomly encountering banana fish mentions in the wild is like running into an ex without warning

Those Fullmetal Alchemist drink and meal designs are so creative and fun, thanks for showing all these!

Man this makes me want to visit Japan. Especially that Tokyo Mew Mew one. That was one of my FAVORITE animes as a kid.

ur cafe vids are always so fun to watch!! also praying for ur wallet from all the places u have gone and will go to in the futuree O.O

Ib means a lot to me. It and other horror RPG maker games made up a large chunk of my early years and I remember watching every video I can of it, whether it be playthroughs or animatics. Even if Emily didn’t enjoy it too much, but if I ever got to go there, I think I’d cry from the sheer amount of nostalgia Ib gives me.

I really love how un bias she is towards these types of cafes, I also like how she mentioned going back to the Kirby’s cafe for a friends birthday cause I was wondering if she went back to any of the previous cafes she marked as winners at the end. I do hope you feel better soon and can you please wish your friend a happy belated birthday for me

Love watching these as I can live vicariously through you and your friends ❤ I desperately want to go to a Psycho-pass, Bleach, Amnesia or Gintama cafe... maybe it'll work out one day. I'm already tempted to go over in May when the Psycho-pass Providence is released and hopefully there's still some 10th anniversary stuff going on too - all depends on my health, which is terrible at the best of times 😆 Anyway there's my comment for the algorithm ❤❤❤

The whole family loves Anime and manga and we are living vicariously through your cafe visits please keep going :)

As a HUGE fruits basket fan myself I’m very sad to hear that this one was not as good, though it will probably not happen, I’m hoping that a Kamisama kiss cafe will someday be a thing because that show means so much to me! As much as I love my hero academia I’m pretty sure a themed cafe has probably happened multiple times so I won’t wish for another lol

This is starting to become a series… and I’m here for it!!!

21:35 Stuff that number 12 with potato fries and you have HEAVEN I swear, it's a highlight here in Hanoi

Thank you for going to all these cafe's! I won't ever make it there to see them for myself. So I really enjoy your videos! 😊

She's spending the bag to give us quality content... you're the strongest soldier out there and I thank you!!

Fun fact: The pictures on the coasters at the Fruits Basket cafe are the art created for the covers of the Collectors Addition manga!

I think the Fullmetal Alchemist cafe seems like the most fun, and the food and drinks looked delicious in the video! I'd also like to go to the Fruits Basket and Ouran cafes.

I don't think visiting Japan's in store for me just yet in the future, but, if I had to give some Cafe suggestions, you should try out the Bear Paw Cafe of Osaka, Japan. It's a really cute takeaway coffee cafe that sorta gives Goldilocks & The Three Bears meets Alice in Wonderland Vibes where this bear's paw in this hole in the wall serves you guys. I saw a video about it & it was really wholesome to watch!

Fun video! I do have to say kinda ironic that Kazuha’s dish was the low point of the Genshin cafe considering how he loves food that has been well prepared and properly seasoned. 😅

I’m very glad the FFXIV cafe was good, I’m a big fan of the game and the fact that they put a good amount of effort into that cafe makes me feel validated as one of their fans

I love how candid you are, thank you for the honesty!

I loved the last anime cafe video, happy to see another!

Emily's out there rapidly becoming THE Anime Cafe Scholar

When you’ve collected enough “data” on the cafes I think we need your expert opinion on how to pick a good one. I’d be interested in going to one in Japan for the experience, but probably wouldn’t be interested in any specific collab.

omgg the gaming beaver!! i love them so much, even tho this wasn't an official 'collab' or anything im just really happy he was there with you!!!

I wish more places had tablets to order or those convenient QR codes to order on your phone. Also would love to just go to those cafes they look so cool, thanks Emirichu for making me jealous and I want to go to japan so bad now.

I am commenting so Emily gets her paycheck back--her dedication to collab cafes is both astonishing and concerning 💝💞

Never thought I was a person to sit through 30 minutes of café reviews and genuinely have a blast! Really fun video!

You should go to the ghibli theme park!!! I think itd be an awesome experience it genuinely looks so gorgeous and people say it feels like you stepped into the movie

You should go to Puroland! It's only an hour from Tokyo and it has tonnes of cute things you can film there, and usually special character items and events for the character's birthdays (they also served me the worst curry of my life there so your video made me think of it)

Happy you liked the FFXIV cafe!! As someone that obsessively plays the game, I really want to go there someday if I ever go to Japan

my favorite thing is Emily dragging her friends along for the ride lmao

I would like to see a Food Wars cafe, but not just a normal colab! You book a reservation and pay a fixed sum for a 3-course meal in advance, somewhere between like 70 - 100 dollars BUT... They have an actually good chef that prepares many of the food items from the show and you get to pick your dishes from a carte when you get there. These dishes don't need branding because they are the branding. Put some decorations in and offer some merch and this could be a 10/10! I would rather pay a little more ( not that much more considering the prices we've seen here... ) and know I would get some amazing food that would normaly be hard to find or replicate!

that kirby music box at the end literally made me cry that was so precious
