Wish You Were Here: Tourism Like Never Before

Thursday 26 March 2009 @ 11:33 pm | By Sol

Come, visit the city of Hakodate, Japan. Enjoy their famous squid ramen and take part in the Ika-odori (Squid Dance). But when visiting do mind the alien cephalopods from the planet Ikaaru…

The city of Hakodate has begun to produce action-packed tourism mini-sodes in the hopes of enticing visitors to their often overlooked port town. The saga begins with alien invaders seeking vengeance on citizens for eating too much squid. As each story unfolds we find notable landmarks appearing as robots protecting the city from their would-be attackers.

This is how you draw visitors in; come for the robot alien battle, stay for the squid. Clever marketing.

All three current mini-sodes found after the break.
