Japan's ultimate event for anime otaku was made to hit in America! The 24-Hour Endurance 1,000 Anime Song Medley was the talk of All-Con 2010, and they're powering up for an unforgettable return in 2011.
Celebrating its 17th year, the 24-Hour Endurance 1,000 Anime Song Medley is a nonstop show of anime and tokusatsu titles, scenes, and rarities, collected and presented on a theater-sized screen by the deeply knowledgable--and very funny!--Keisaku Kimura and Kazushi Hinoki. At their shows in Japan the duo is known as "Otakuzake," but here they go by what that means in English: they're the Fanboy Booze Brothers!
Since his first All-Con appearance last March, indy filmmaker Keisaku Kimura has become a frequent sight on Japanese TV, earning media respect to go with his years of otaku cred with the publication of his new book, "Anison Baka Ichidai." The director and special effects creator for the live-action adaptation of "Famires Senshi Purin" (2009), he recently produced a documentary on Otakuzake's All-Con 2010 adventures.
Artist and robot toy buff Kazushi Hinoki, an assistant to Takeshi Obata on "Hikaru no Go" (1998-2003, Jump Comics), merrily continues to unleash his manga creations on the world. His works include "Chaos Gear" (2000, Magazine Z Comics), "Twin Tail" (2003, Young Champion Comics), "Famires Senshi Purin" (2003-06, Young King Comics), "Gun x Sword" (art only; 2005, Shonen Champion Comics), "Idol H: Himeko no Himitsu" (2008-09, GA Comics), and "Police Girl" (2009, Nichibun Comics).
This fresh new edition of the 24-Hour Endurance 1,000 Anime Song Medley will be held in the Crowne Plaza North Dallas' Addison Theater, complete with comfy tiered seating, special guest performers including the legendary MIQ, and a smorgasbord of anime- and tokusatsu-related loot (donated by the fine folks at HobbyLink Japan!) up for grabs in contests held throughout the Medley! Free for all All-Con attendees!
