You guys are good at describing the current state of this restaurant chain from a very specific POV. It's also completely lacking in historical background or any meaningful background information.--69.226.218.146 00:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The last link in the article ( http://www.miltontrainworks.com/Misc/Japan/AnnaMillers/ ) is to my site, I took those pictures and wrote that visit description when I was in Tokyo in spring 2004... If the article would be improved by one or more of them, say which one (or ones)! ... Drop a note here and I'll upload it to commons under GFDL. ++Lar: t/c 05:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

The Anna Millers' in Japan sound somewhat different from the ones I see in Hawai'i... Mostly regarding the staff... The part regarding the nature of the establishment and its whereabouts sound correct though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.91.56.150 (talk • contribs) 08:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC).

What was the reasoning behind removing the following information and not simply creating a trivia area for it:

Some characters from the video game series Variable Geo (and its anime spinoff) wear waitress uniforms from Anna Miller's during battle, where the restaurant is called "Hanna Miller's".

The character Nanasawa Kimiko from the webcomic Megatokyo works as a waitress at an Anna Miller's restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.

In the anime series Excel Saga, Excel and Hyatt work in a cafe wearing Anna Miller's waitress uniforms.

I have to think the above remained data that readers wanted. - Sparky 15:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anna Miller's in Hawaii

Just a couple of notes:

1) The uniforms for the Hawaii location (there is currently only one) have changed and seem to resemble their Japanese counterparts. However, rather than pink (like the ones seen in the photos on the external site) they are maroon (like the one in the logo seen in the article itself).

2) The wait staff (while still predomnately female) reflect all age demographics (as opposed to the supposed younger staff of the Japanese locations).

3) I believe the chain actually originated in the mainland U.S. somewhere, but I have to find the source to confirm.

4) In Hawaii, the restaurant doesn't really have any kind stigma attached to it, probably because the waitresses range in age. However, it is known for its breakfast menu (as they serve it all-day), pies (in particular, their strawberry pies), and their hours (open 24 hours). On a personal note, I was actually surprised when I first found out that the chain was associated with certain types of fans in Japan.

5) I'm not sure if the Hawaii location is still officially affiliated with the Japanese ones. They might be, especially considering the current similarity of their uniforms, but I haven't confirmed this.

If someone could help me verify my facts (since I don't want to edit without verification) this would be greatly appreciated.

[edit] Trivia section

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. However, it seems though this article's trivia section centers around the way Anna Miller's restaurants have been used in popular culture, so I'm proposing the title of that section be changed to "Anna Miller's in Popular Culture" so the trivia tag can be removed Beggarsbanquet (talk) 04:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
