I visited Japan's Best ANIME Theme Park 

Does anyone else find it funny that Jaiden single-handedly stopped them from going on almost every ride for a multitude of different reasons(probably just bad luck)

Its kinda funny for jaiden to coincidentally hit every checkbox that prevents the two of them for entering a lot of attractions

The “gift shop directly after a ride” trick is very effective on this man

Jaiden's appearances feel so on-character

Alpharad has probably spent more money in Japan than most of us have spent in our lives

Well considering one of Gojo's training regiments was you having to binge an lot of movies, the popcorn obsession is the least surprising.

I’m actually studying abroad in Japan pretty soon and didn’t even think about visiting Universal Studios Japan! I’m about to make some dangerously irresponsible purchases at those One Piece and Pokémon merch stores!

a shame jacob didn't try Chef Toad's cafe because the Japanese version actually has really good food for a theme park

I know the chances are low that you're gonna read this but I just wanna say thank you for respecting the staff and not recording the rides like a lot of influencers do. Also I know you're worried about the mascots, they have built in ventilation and cooling in the costumes, so I promise it's safe :)

It's crazy how freaking ginormous One Piece has reached over the years, I could see why this series is insanely popular even at their home country.

the bit of culture shock Jacob described at 10:27 happened to me at a maid cafe when All I Want For Christmas Is You started playing.

You know, considering the Yakuza reputation in Japan, bold of Jaiden to go out in a tank top with full sleeve tattoos.

As the recent event happened to Japan two days ago, A bad way to begin 2024, However for something like this that comforts us and not to think of tragedy and think of something that you've enjoyed like this, I wish all the victims safe and move on reaching positivity and amusement.

People always be like, “how are they gonna do chopper in season 2 of the one piece live action.” We have our answer. 12:13

Whether or not the lines are enjoyable is honestly one of the biggest things that decides how good a theme park is for me. When even the scenery for the lines are filled with whimsy, you _know_ the park was made with love, by people who genuinely care for the source material.

The Alpharad theme park character arc continues. Btw just letting you know but if you ever (for some reason) end up coming to Copenhagen in Denmark, then try visiting Tivoli Gardens. Its this super scenic and themed theme park in downtown Copenhagen and the legitimate place that inspired Walt Disney the most when making Disneyland. Its smaller than Disneyland, and a lot cheaper, but I have a feeling you'd love it there, even if the only marketable character there is like Petzi... but the park also has rock concerts every friday, gourmet restaurants all over, they legit have more eateries than rides, and some amazing seasonal events.

8:16 Regarding the Spider-Man man ride: it's a carbon copy of the Spider-Man ride in Orlando. The reason it looks like the 90s cartoon/the comics is because the ride originally opened in 1999 and because of the theme park rights to the character. Due to the nature of the contract Universal got for the theme park rights to Marvel characters (basically everyone except for the Guardians of the Galaxy and some other characters who were considered minor in the late 90s/00s), they were allowed to keep using those rides pretty much for as long as they want, even though Disney outright owns Marvel now. The only catch is that they can't change the rides to match the current Marvel movies/shows that Disney produces.

The Super Nintendo World in Hollywood is the reason I'm psyched for the one coming to Orlando. They're actually building their Super Nintendo World more 1:1 to what Japan has. Hopefully, the food doesn’t suck as well.

I was delighted to hear that Japan loves Peanuts as much as we do, but when Jacob mentioned Minions, I could feel my soul sink.

I love how Alpharad didn't even mention Jaiden until 5minutes into the video

Still think it’s funny that alpha and Jo had a turn around on their opinions on one piece and they like it so much I’ll probably watch the remake to see why they like it so much

Your Japan adventures really makes me feel happy, just seeing how you just had a lot of fun at a place far away just makes me glad that this is the time I'm alive and not like 100 years ago

I love that youtube has dubbed that this video is featuring gameplay of Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, a game that isn't even out yet. A true testament to the editing prowess this video contains

I was honestly expecting this to be the actual anime theme park that’s just outside of Osaka but I should’ve guessed it wasn’t by the fact that none of the properties in it (Crayon Shin-Chan, Naruto, Godzilla, Dragonquest, or Demon Slayer) were in the thumbnail

I wrote a speech in Japanese at a language school in 2022. I basically wrote about how all the cool things I likes growing up and even into adulthood (cars) all came from this tiny country. If you can visit Japan do it. I'm going for my third trip at the end of the month!

Alpharad's darstadly scheme to lure me in with videos about video games and then get me to watch travel vlogs is going great

Yes You uploaded. I watched your Twitch stream yesterday and heard that if you uploaded today, this year would be amazing but if not the uploads would be slower. Thank you so much Alpha, I can’t wait to see what you have in stores this year

Ain’t no way Jacob just called a bao bun a “weird hot-pocket” 😂😂 2:04

i think something that wouldve been cool was they couldve made the pokemon merch shops have merch themed AFTER THE INGAME COSMETIC SHOPS and even couldve played the music themes in the store. wouldve been a cool thing to do for the fans

I love how the filmed little snips that went perfect with the script. It makes the video great and funny. Plus its still better reality tv then whats actually on tv.

Your travel/theme park content from the past year has been really cool, I'd love to see more eventually!

9:06 I love how nonchalant Alphard is about how this guy's going to die from heat stroke

Universal Japan was one of my favorite experiences growing up here! There are so many fun things to do in Ōsaka!

Between alpharads souvenirs addiction and Jaiden’s plush addiction I can’t imagine what there house looks like

I LOVE YOUR STORY TELLING! Your videos are so fun to watch

This is awesome, me and my Dad have been planning a trip to Japan and this is very helpful. Also I love your videos.

6:56 I can really relate to this, like really relate, maybe even a little too much

Well Universal just bought a lot of land here in the UK and there are plans to build a park here, so hopefully that goes through smoothly and you could come here.

It was really interesting to see how they do theme parks in Japan. Keep up the good work and cool videos!

the jump force music as the background is actually perfect. love it!

Alpha is just becoming the theme park guy at this point

Dude, as a Minnesotan, definitely a huge fan of their love of Peanuts. Awesome.

Your background music choices are amazing

What an honestly brilliant video, had a huge smile on my face the whole way through

Alpharad's credit card being like gojo rn: "na I'd win"

Theme park addiction and jaiden unintentionally stopping Jacob from entering multiple rides, this probably has one of the worst timings of any Alpharad video....

Wow this is honestly so cool. i want to go to japan now. everything seems so eyecatching to me and i rlly wanna go there now! thanks for sharing ur pov to this

This video made me really excited for my trip to Japan this May. Looking forward to experiencing USJ.

Looks like a ton of fun, great upload as usual

I've really loved seeing two of my favorite creators just becoming best buds and doing everything together

This is the earliest Ive seen a video. Happy New Year yall.

Gonna be honest, these travel vids are awesome, and if you want a place to go next i honestly would love to see like greece or italy, really anything meditteranean. Or maybe the british isles or something. Just do more of this.

Can’t wait for Alpha to go indulge in more anime filled theme parks for us

Now I really wanna visit Japan so bad so I wanna feel what is like to be in a different country that is crazy colorful

entertaining and also fun. I'm glad you had a great time

Both of your videos convinced me that I want to go to Japan as a life goal

My vote would be for you to go to Japan again, but explore the more rural side of it.

Hell yea more Stories of Alpharad's Japan Trip! This is gonna be great fun to watch!

Dude ur adventures are so fun to watch. The fun part is recognizing random music during it. Bangers like PMD and Mario Paint. Good shit

This is an amazing video and I loved every minute. I would say go back to Japan but I could literally hear your wallet screaming every time you were near merch

Duly noted; Universal Japan requires about $2000 for just merch. Cause ain't no way in hell that I'd leave there empty-handed.

An identical version of the Japan Super Nintendo World (but with wider pathways) is opening at Universal Orlando in summer 2025 at their new park Epic Universe. It is going to have the Mario Kart ride, Yoshi ride, and the Donkey Kong ride.

id love to hear your reaction from the roller coasters, unfortunate you weren't interested in them (which is totally understandable!) flying dinosaur in particular looks SO AWESOME

Look, Jacob, one thing I HAVE to say: I massively appreciate the footage of mech. Honestly. It's things I'd never otherwise get to see, and I massively appreciate that.

I would love to see you travel to Orlando and try out everything there is at Universal Orlando and/or Disney World. Might want to wait till the new Universal park opens with the 3rd Nintendo world with the Donkey Kong roller coaster though. (Make sure to bring all meds that are needed, may include sun screen)

The best part of the video 9:52

Damn i sleep so light, i got the notification for this and instantly woke up and watched it.

I needed this

8:00 it was a canon event

2:45 The background music here is from a game called "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World The Game", and the song name is "Cheap Shop" .

9:45 LMAO your hair being as fluffy as it is made the before and after soo good

this place looks fenomenal!! if i had the money i would go there 100% (and buy a lot of souvenirs).

I want to go to Japan more than ever now 😭

Ah yes, my favourite anime, Despicable Me.

Been there this fall and it was definitely a theme park experience like none other. Insane level of detail to everything and an absolute must visit if you're in the area :)

Great Video! Funny and great fun to watch! Please do more videos on your travels, your narration is so much fun! Maybe try a country in Europe, like Italy or the UK...

where's goku?

0:20 I went to the nintendo store in shibuya and immediately commented out that the pikmin costumes look... inauspiciously like another white-colored costume

I need this place I've been looking at the monster hunter VR experience for the longest time but seeing all this awesome stuff around it makes it a necessity

5:36 how wholesome for altrive to fly all the way to japan just to go on the spinning cupcakes with alpha

1:04 The look of a man who is contemplating his life decisions.

3:03 Gojo having a passion for popcorn is actually hilarious when you realize Sukuna finds popcorn disgusting. During his fight with Mahoraga in season 2, Sukuna ate some popcorn and said it tasted awful

The music selection this video was phenomenal

going to try and head to there in march, it just looks so cool, even if not being able to get a spot in the nintendo area. also so glad that i don't like wearing tank-tops. poor jaiden! you should totally revisit at some point so you both can sit on the rides!

8:36 Kinda expected a cancelled show in this video. As someone whose obsessed with the P.A. announcements at the Tokyo parks, it helps me practice my voice acting range.

I went at the start of 2019 and I’m extremely surprised how much it’s changed since then. The only things I remember being the same so far have been the Jurassic park the minions and the spider man ride. Edit: some of the attractions are pretty much the same in a different skin such as the one piece show.

This entire video is a fever dream. I love it. I now want to go to universal Japan

I actually went to the Jujutsu Kaisen show as well, and the description of what happens is pretty spot on

9:46 😂lmao Omg his face after 😂

Alpharad and his money vs merch stores is a never-ending fight.

7:10 I love that you used the actual Pokemon X/Y boutique song for this

I no joke just got back from a week long trip to Universal Orlando and this video drops lmao.

An amazing channel, I was so close to visiting Japan at one point myself. I had experience with modeling and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit this amazing place.

You know what’s funny at 1:15 I have that exact Luffy shirt

seeing this video tells me that as much as i want to go to Japan i am NOT ready for it cuz i will be totally overwhelmed

Wish i had your luck for getting a ride with the last hour left of the park. I still enjoyed being in there it was a real treat.

Who’s the guy at 7:45? I don’t know celebrities 😅

Japan: Yes I have a hyper fixation on Snoopy don’t you? 1:47 😂

How to prank Jaiden on April Fools 1) Hide all of her Pokémon plushies in a safe spot and don’t tell her 2) Wait and see the results

When you play as roaming heavy, the banana is very useful on pubs. When you have a medic its always best for your pocket if you choose sandwiche.
