As a self proclaimed train geek…, NO THANK YOU! I can hurl!

Hello Kitty Shinkansen
It replaced the Evangelion Shinkansen, right? So overall there's still the same number of anime/kawaii/whatever Shinkansen and not an increase, so there's that. Regardless, there's already that Anpanman train in Shikoku, occasional Rilakkuma trains on the Yamanote or Keikyu Main Line, etc. I'm not a Hello Kitty fan by any means but I wouldn't actively avoid this train.
