Maids. Maids everywhere.

Looks like a fun place. I would like to visit.

I, too, would like to visit there... Seems so lively... And if you get tired (remember, I'm older) there are always the little sleeping chambers... or even Pachinko to wake me up... lol

Many of the 'maids' appear to be handing out little cards, probably ads for their store or event.

Surprisingly there's a vast amount of non-pornographc cosplay there.

If it was actually pornographic, the police would arrest people or at least move them on. The fact they don't means it isn't porn.

Mm. Maids.

Almost all those maids are employees of maid cafes. Not really cosplay so much as the store's uniform itself.

I would still count maids as cosplay, since the cafes are one type (the biggest type though I suppose) of cosplay cafes. Sure it's uniform, but the cosplay aspect is as much a part of the job as being a waitress.

So I understand it, it's like being dragged from the front row on stage on a theatre. You have to go with the flow and accept being a part of a fantasy setting. Being cold, awkward or embarrassed about it won't do. I imagine it would freak most English people out completely.

sort of like a dinner theater establishment where the diners end up being in parts of the play...

I really don't think you have anything to fear from googling it, saviour. It's pretty straightforward - a cafe selling basic food and drinks, where the serving staff are girls in frilly maid outfits. Customers can often pay for photographs of/with the waitresses, and there are clear rules for customers' behaviour. Orphic will know more than me about what it's like in practice, but that's the basic idea.

I would definitely say that there's more to it than the creepy aspect. I'm not totally convinced they came about to satisfy a fetish, as I think that fetish had already transformed into a moe archetype before maid cafes existed, but in any case ideas about cuteness are a bit part of it. One example that shows this is the popularity of maid cafes among straight women, who admire the staff and their pretty outfits. Also, as Orphic pointed out, there are rules in place to deter inappropriate behaviour.

I think the idea of "performance" that's been mentioned fits pretty well. It's all a big game, like when you go to theme parks and such where all the staff are in character all the time.

Like Disneyland... lol

I've been to the Disneyland in California numerous times since it first opened in 1955, I think it was. I even went with my little sister to 'Disneyrand' in Japan, and no, I am not making fun of the language, It was on the sign inside the park. I have the 8mm film to prove it. lol

well orphic don't get angry i think you just misinterpreted my own pornogrphic term. i should not have used the term but the uk's new law was in my mind and was angry as it will make it more easier to fool the people. i really do not think you are a person to go in a brothel. what i thought when you said weird is they act like servants of something along these lines. i think you know about the half naked restaurants in las vegas. i thought it might be japanese versions of those things which it is in some way. sorry i did not mean to hurt your feelings. i know you are a good guy

Don't worry Saviour, I wasn't actually angry at all. If I was really angry, I would never use three question marks in a row. That was supposed to indicate that I was joking.

I'm watching it today. And no, I will not record the sound. I have no idea how I would even do that.
