#crunchyroll expo 2018

[astralfuchs]

Given how “unique” a Miku concert would be I’m surprised Crypton themselves didn’t send some team members or equipment personally to make sure things are set up right bc other than some performers that might hide their face/wear disguises idk how many usual concert locations have something prepped for “holo” projections compared to Japan and their Vtuber boom (although I’d rather buy a plushie from a booth but hopefully at least the theatres would have good sound quality)

Sucks for any workers scrambling and getting hate/hope it doesn’t affect the sales of any other indie ppl performing their concerts

The weird thing is it worked before. I went to miku Expo 2018 in cologne and 2020 in Berlin. Both times it was an actual hologram concert with the same band as magical Mirai. Neither of these two locations had a concert like this before, I'm pretty sure. All of the equipment must've been toured around with thew Miku Expo crew. Going against advertising and expectations (basically all of these concerts, and like all of them in recent years were holographic) without notifying buyers beforehand and also not even afterwards when people keep asking is, to put it lightly, customer unfriendly at best and a scam at worst.

I arrived a bit late in 2018 since I only had standard so I don't know how it was there, but in 2020 people went around giving out free stickers and badges, or general stuff they got from other miku events. One of them seemed to be a huge meiko fan so when she gifted me something I gave her the meiko badge I got from the random gacha button bags. Stuff like that really made it feel like a community coming together, so reading that giving out badges, stickers, etc. wasn't allowed this year, even for people who specifically got an okay from cfm and also got their stuff stolen from is surreal.

I had vip in 2020 and as far as I know everyone got their vip merchandise, which doesn't seem to be the case this year, which makes no sense because you would know how many people at this location have the vip ticket. Another thing I read is that vip ticket holders were supposed to be let in earlier for merchandise and the concert hall but it didn't happen, which also worked flawlessly before in my experience.

Merchandise being not enough for everyone is sadly not new, I was in line for it in 2018 and when I was three people away the store people shouted they were all sold out, which was very much a bummer but I thankfully bought the penlight and t-shirt beforehand in the online store so it wasn't too bad for me and as I said I was quite late to the so definitely in the latter half of the people that got in. Still should've been more but I would chalk it up to being the first concert in Europe and them not having expected such a huge crowd maybe. How this is still the case 6 years later and in America where there were concerts way before 2018 is beyond me.

I don't know if this is because of crunchyroll (it probably is tho) but I can't say cfm is innocent either since they partnered with them and it's their job to ensure everything is up to standard, which clearly didn't happen.

For me, I was really happy to hear there was going to be a Europe one again, especially since I really loved it, it is such a magical experience so the last year's being online only made me super sad since it isn't the same in the slightest, but seeing it's also partnered with crunchyroll I decided against it. It's because I loved it so much that it really saddens me to see what is currently going on (also probably why I wrote so much, very sorry). Miku Expo is one of the best, magical and insane events you can go to as a vocaloid/piaproloid fan and I wish for all fans, people who've been in the Fandom longer and already have been to Miku Expo, and newer fans that didn't have the chance yet, to have that same experience but this is not it. This being someone's first miku expo experience is just a sad thing to think about considering what a massive downgrade the experience is. I hope there will be official statements soon and that the people who are currently experiencing it still have a good time.

💫 ANIME EXPO 2024: TUTTE LE NOVITÀ DAL GRANDE EVENTO DI LOS ANGELES (PARTE 1)

Batman Ninja, Bleach, UbelBlatt, Panty & Stocking, Beastars, Trigun e poi Arifureta, SAO Alternative, Guilty Gear, Blue Box e altro ancora!

Ce l'ho fatta! Vi avevo detto che arrivava presto, no? Easy, first try. A proposito di first, questo che trovate qua è appunto il primo dei due post di cui vi anticipavo ieri, con i quali vi andrò a raccogliere e impacchettare tutti gli annunci, aggiornamenti e trailer arrivati durante i quattro giorni dell'ANIME EXPO 2024, la grande kermesse dedicata al settore, che ogni anno si tiene al Convention Center di Los Angeles.

Ovviamente, visto che mi seguite più per la simpatia e per i fantastici collage che faccio per le notizie, piuttosto che per la mia velocità, la seconda parte che contiene tutto l'arsenale Crunchyroll arriverà presto, ma non prestissimo. Chiedo scudo. Nel frattempo godetevi questa prima carrellata, con tanta bella roba!

🔶🔸NEW PANTY & STOCKING WITH GARTERBELT

Sono già tre anni che ce la fanno sognare, non sarà ora di uscirla? Secondo me è già pronta ed è tutto un trick per farsi invitare ogni anno all'Anime Expo, eh studio TRIGGER? :V

A questo giro hanno portato un nuovo coloratissimo poster e si sono, addirittura, fatti sfuggire che la serie arriverà in un momento non precisato del 2025!

L'anime è, ovviamente, di nuovo scritto e diretto dal buon Hiroyuki Imaishi (Promare, Space Patrol Luluco, Cyberpunk Edgerunners), affiancato per l'occasione ancora una volta nella sceneggiatura da Hiromi Wakabayashi (Inferno Cop), produttore e partner in crime di lunga data.

🔶🔸BEASTARS (Stagione 3) 

Altro anime che si sta facendo attendere, forse anche più del dovuto.

Come vi avevo già anticipato, l'ultima stagione della serie targata studio ORANGE (Trigun Stampede, Land of the Lustrous), tratta dal premiato manga di Paru Itagaki, verrà divisa in due parti; la prima arriverà su Netflix a dicembre, mente la seconda ancora non ha una finestra di lancio.

Oltre alla nuova locandina, sono stati comunicati anche qualche aggiunta e qualche cambio allo staff, più che mai in termini di direzione artistica, effetti, design e fotografia.

🔶🔸TRIGUN STAMPEDE

Rimaniamo sempre in casa ORANGE per un piccolo aggiornamento sul sequel della nuova serie, basata sul celebre manga di Yasuhiro Nightow (Blood Blockade Battlefront), che ricordo lo studio ha definito come "fase finale". Parlare chiaro è un optional come al solito, a quanto pare.

Bene, la storia di Vash e co. proseguirà con TRIGUN STARGAZE, il cui debutto è ancora tutto da definire, quindi vi rimando ai primi 12 episodi andati in onda l'anno scorso, che trovate comodamente in streaming Crunchyroll.

🔶🔸BATMAN NINJA VS YAKUZA LEAGUE

Svelati poster e primo teaser della nuova avventura del Cavaliere Oscuro in un altro epico mondo DC in salsa feudale nipponica!

La resa in 3D dei ragazzi di KAMIKAZE DOUGA (Pop Team Epic, Sand Land), purtroppo, non è il massimo, ma il design di Lanterna Verde, Aquaman, Wonder Woman e Flash è spettacolare, bisogna ammeterlo.

Come per il film sbarcato nel 2018 su Netflix, anche stavolta la regia è in mano a Junpei Mizusaki (Sound & Fury) e Shinji Takagi.

🔶🔸ÜBELBLATT

Primo attesissimo trailer per la serie che da gennaio 2025 porterà in tv il manga dark fantasy di Etorouji Shiono, pubblicato qua in Italia nella sua interezza da J-POP Manga.

Cioè, almeno parlando della lunga prima parte della storia di Koinzell, visto che in patria è da poco stato lanciato il sequel.

L'anime è diretto da Takashi Naoya (Vermeil in Gold, Tales of Wedding Rings) ed è una produzione congiunta targata SATELIGHT (Helck) e STAPLE ENTERTAINMENT (Am I Actually the Strongest?).

🔶🔸ARIFURETA - FROM COMMONPLACE TO WORLD’S STRONGEST (Stagione 3)

Svelato il trailer per la terza stagione dell'avventura fantasy isekai basta sull'omonima light novel di Ryo Shirakome, che andrà in onda a partire da ottobre.

Seppur travagliata, la produzione ASREAD (Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory) ci ha già portati a metà della storia, quindi ormai che ci siamo possiamo legittimamente sperare in un'eventuale quarta stagione, che ci porti a vederne anche l'epilogo.

🔶🔸BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR

Nuova locandina e nuovo teaser per la terza parte della serie, The Conflict, attesa su Disney+ per ottobre; in tutto sono previste quattro parti.

Il doppiaggio italiano della serie è curato da Dynit, che si sta occupando anche dell'edizione home video. 

Per chi ne sapesse poco, questa è la serie sequel dell'originale anime trasmesso nei primi anni 2000, che rese celebre il manga in tutto il globo. L'intento è proprio quello di completare, finalmente, la storia.

🔶🔸SPECIAL KID FACTORY

Ricomparso l'originale mystery sci-fi di studio NAZ (Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf, Good Night World), inizialmente previsto per l'anno scorso e poi svanito nel nulla.

L'anime scritto da Otaro Maijo (Id:Invaded) e diretto da Atsushi Ikariya (Sabikui Bisco), sotto la supervisione di Ei Aoki (Id:Invaded), si mostra in un teaser trailer, ma resta ancora vago su quando lo potremo vedere.

🔶🔸BLUE BOX

La versione animata della commedia romantico-sportiva di Kouji Miura, che qua in Italia possiamo leggere grazie a Star Comics, sbarcherà in simulcast su Netflix a ottobre!

L'adattamento è fatto in casa TELECOM ANIMATION FILM (Tower of God, The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse), dietro alla regia di Yuichiro Yano ( Lupin III - Ritorno alle origini).

Ci sarebbe anche un nuovo video promozionale postato esclusivamente su Twitter/X, ma Tumblr si rifiuta categoricamente di farmelo incorporare, quindi piazzo il cartonato e vi rimando a questo link. Si fa quel che si può.

🔶🔸SWORD ART ONLINE ALTERNATIVE: GUN GALE ONLINE (Stagione 2)

Siete pronti a loggare nuovamente su GGO? LLEN e gli altri torneranno sui nostri schermi a partire da ottobre, con alle spalle lo stesso staff della prima stagione, che volendo potete recuperare in streaming su Prime Video e Netflix, oltre che in Blu-ray.

La serie si basa sull'omonimo spinoff per veri gamer di SAO, nato dalla penna di Keiichi Sigsawa (Kino’s Journey). 

🔶🔸GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: DUAL RULERS

Arrivato, sotto forma di un breve teaser trailer, un primo assaggio dell'anime ispirato al popolare picchiaduro di Arc System Works!

La serie è prevista per il 2025 e la regia è affidata a Shigeru Morikawa (Argonavis Movie: Axia). Il progetto rimane in casa SANZIGEN (D4DJ, BanG Dream!), che per il gioco ha già realizzato il videoclip celebrativo Find Your One Way.

🔶🔸FURERU

Dalle botte da orbi passiamo ai danni emotivi, con il nuovo film dei Super Peace Busters.

Il team creativo è infatti composto dal regista Tatsuyuki Nagai (Ano Hana, Her Blue Sky, Toradora!), dalla scrittrice e regista Mari Okada (Ano Hana, Her Blue Sky, Maquia) e dal designer Masayoshi Tanaka (Ano Hana, Her Blue Sky, Suzume).

Il loro prossimo drama con elementi soprannaturali è in lavorazione presso lo studio CLOVERWORKS (Bocchi the Rock!, The Elusive Samurai) e sbarcherà nelle sale giapponesi il 4 ottobre.

🔶🔸GROTESQUE

Parlando sempre di CLOVERWORKS, è stato annunciato un nuovo progetto originale potenzialmente molto interessante, almeno a livello stilistico, in arrivo indicativamente nel corso del 2025, di cui è stato mostrato per ora solo un concept trailer.

Il regista a capo della produzione è Atsushi Nishigori (Darling in the FranXX, The iDOLM@STER).

🔶🔸PRINCESSION ORCHESTRA

Presentato anche un primo trailer per l'originale fantasy-musicale diretto da Shin Onuma (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense), che lo studio SILVER LINK (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!) conta di portare in tv nel 2025.

L'idea è quella di mescolare il genere delle maghette con tante canzoni da cantare, sia per le doppiatrici che per gli spettatori. Non a caso il progetto fa capo alla casa discografica King Records ed è stato ideato, indovinate un po' da chi? Dal maestro Akifumi Kaneko (Symphogear), bravi.

In ultimo, è stato anche accennato che Shoji Kawamori (Escaflowne, Macross, Aquarion) starebbe attualmente lavorando ad un nuovo film d'animazione, che dovrebbe vedere la luce nel 2025. Cosa si sarà inventato stavolta?

hi guys i went to miku expo ^_^ the screen controversy is going to annoy me for weeks . the screen is fine personally i love the screen its nice and vivid and they can do whatever they want with the lights now that they dont have to worry about it fucking with the holograms. the hologram thing is a gimmick its still a flat image of anime characters dancing in the end and the outrage all seems a bit silly to me

i still think crunchyroll as a company needs to Die, in general, and there were things that were definitely mishandled. mostly the merch but i'll be honest with you guys i think that shits overhyped expensive things you dont need......... in fairness i do already own a lightstick from 2018, im sure if i didnt have one i wouldve felt very left out but i did not really do much with mine since i was more focused on jamming out with the rest of my body and i didnt want to block the view of the people behind me

the concert itself was awesome, the band totally killed it, there were two of the buffest women ive ever seen fucking shredding it on bass and guitar and i would have been happy watching them alone honestly . (the guys on drums and keyboard were also awesome im just gay) they had a setlist with really great variety between classics and lesser known songs, a great variety of genres, it did a good job of encompassing vocaloid as a whole and i loooove that. i heard some people complain about them not playing more classics for ~the OGs~ or whatever but as somebody who's been into this for 12-13 years i have heard all of those songs Enough and im wayyyy more excited about the vocal synth scene of today

thats my hot takes . i got up at 6 in the morning got rained on and then scorched by the sun to get into front and i will so happily be doing it again next time

[poxei]

hii i got some stuff at your table at fanime and wanted to say that I really love your art and merch!! I was rly taking in how well designed everything was (i esp love the graphic design on your pins and stickers) and i wanted to ask how you got into/how long you have been tabling at conventions? i want to get into it too but im overwhelmed with keeping track of all the applications, merch making, etc--do you have any tips for beginners that you wish you knew when u started?

Thanks so much!! I'm glad to hear you like what you got from me! and that you appreciate the effort I put into graphic design :'D

I'll answer your question below the cut since it got kind of long

My first time tabling was in September 2018 at Crunchyroll Expo! I only did 4 cons pre-2020, the last of them being Crunchyroll Expo 2019, so I tabled for exactly a year before the pandemic started. Then I stopped for two years and started doing cons again in May 2022 at Fanime. I've got at least 3 more cons planned for this year including my first AX 😳 But my last con as of right now is Fanime 2023, so I've been tabling for a little over two years.

Tabling was really overwhelming the first time I did it too, but I mooched off of a friend's table so at least I didn't have to worry about getting the table. It's really helpful if you have a friend who's willing to share their knowledge with you, but if you don't, you kind of have to learn how to table the hard way... I also have a bunch of friends who started tabling around the same time, so we all helped each other by sharing resources, tips, and manufacturers. I strongly recommend getting a buddy! Especially if you ever plan to travel to a convention to table, having a friend go with you takes off so much stress.

When you're first applying, I would suggest finding a convention or free-admission art market close to you (doesn't matter the size of the convention/market), or a big con where you're almost guaranteed to make your money back like AX, ANYC, or Fanime (though it's gonna be tough to get into these because of all the competition). Don't worry about tracking the apps for every single con, just pick a few deadlines to track. I think for your first con it's best to cut down on travel/lodging costs as much as possible because you never know how much you'll make back.

As for making merch, I wouldn't worry about making so much all at once. Well, maybe you have to produce a lot for your first con. But after that I just try to add at least one new thing for each con, even if it's just a sticker, so I slowly build up a catalogue that way. For my first con, I just printed zine pieces and illustrations that I already had, and the only new thing I drew was buttons.

For more specific questions, the blog @howtobeaconartist helped me so much in the beginning! You can also ask me off-anon, and I can try to help, but I can't guarantee that I can be of help.

Zaprezentowano pierwszy pełny zwiastun Solo Leveling

Hej! Świeże wieści dla fanów Solo Leveling! Właśnie podczas wydarzenia Aniplex Online Fest 2023 zaprezentowano pierwszy pełny zwiastun anime na podstawie manhwy napisanej przez Chugonga i rysowanej przez zmarłego DUBU z REDICE Studio. Ale to nie wszystko! Do obsady dołączyła Haruna Mikawa w roli Aoi Mizushino (siostra Shuna Mizushino - w japońskiej wersji to zmienione imię Sung Jinwoo).

Za kilka kluczowych elementów anime odpowiedzialni będą:

Projekt postaci drugoplanowych: Chiaki Furuzumi

Projekt potworów: Hirotaka Tokuda

Projekt rekwizytów: Sotaro Shiraishi

Reżyser ds. sztuki: Yasuhiro Okumura

Kolorystyka: Naomi Nakano

VFX: Daichi Iseki

CG: Toshitaka Morioka

Grafiki ruchome: Hiromu Ōshiro z Production I.G

Montaż: Yūji Kondō

Reżyser dźwięku: Ryō Tanaka

Jeśli chodzi o główną obsadę, to w roli Sung Jinwoo (w wersji japońskiej Shun Mizushino) wystąpi Taito Ban. Do tego dołączą Reina Ueda, Hiroki Touchi, Genta Nakamura, Daisuke Hirakawa, Banjou Ginga i Makoto Furukawa.

Pamiętajcie, że anime zadebiutuje już podczas nadchodzącej zimy, najpewniej w styczniu 2024! Crunchyroll po raz pierwszy ogłosiło adaptację tej serii podczas swojego panelu na Anime Expo w lipcu 2022.

Jak opisuje Crunchyroll fabułę: od ponad dekady istnieją "bramy" łączące nasz świat z innym wymiarem. Pewni ludzie przebudzili w sobie nadnaturalne moce i są znani jako "łowcy". Jinwoo Sung, łowca niskiej rangi, jest znany jako "najsłabszy łowca wszech czasów". Pewnego dnia przyjmuje tajemnicze zadanie i po tym, gdy był bliski śmierci... zaczyna zdobywać poziomy, jako jedyny łowca na świecie.

Za reżyserię odpowiada Shunsuke Nakashige, a głównym scenarzystą jest Noboru Kimura. Tomoko Sudo zajmuje się projektowaniem postaci, a Hiroyuki Sawano - komponowaniem muzyki.

Crunchyroll będzie transmitować anime poza Azją. A jeśli chodzi o manhwę, jej adaptacja zaczęła się w marcu 2018 i zakończyła w grudniu 2021. Oczywiście możemy też cieszyć się japońską wersją pod tytułem "Ore Dake Level-Up na Ken".

To na tyle na dzisiaj! Trzymajcie rękę na pulsie, bo Solo Leveling na pewno przyniesie jeszcze wiele emocji! 💥

[jojostory]

I finished the Nier print I was working on! I had to pay extra for rush printing, but if it doesn’t turn out too dark (fingers crossed), I’ll have this available as a mini-print at Crunchyroll Expo this weekend! I’m at table 718, come pick one up!

[lady-lancer]

All the stuff I bought at Crunchyroll Expo!

Artists Alley

Three posters from @crimson-chains, along with her collab book with @lucycamui “A Siren’s Call”

A gorgeous Princess Serenity by Kidoka Project

Dead Master by Lin-Co

Interesting story about the Dead Master poster - that was my best reference for her horns when I made my cosplay of her.

Dealers Hall

Two signed posters by Colleen Clinkenbeard - loved her as Riza Hawkeye, and can’t wait to hear her as Erza in the new season!

Edward and Roy plushies!! Practically a steal at $40 - most places were asking for $35 each

And fun story: sat down at a table to eat takoyaki, and I ended up meeting the artist for the CRX 2018 mascots @nashirasauce! She gave me some MHA charms, a Lillie sticker, and doodled on my badge when I asked for her signature! Lovely lady, it was so nice to meet you!

Definately going to go to CRX 2019 - with more money saved to really enjoy myself in Artists Alley and Dealers Hall!
