Anime Central is a weekend long dream that I wish would never end. Once again, it was a blast. Got to meet the Justicers again, met a couple more, got to hang out with Steve Cardenas, and we got to make this video. This is for all you that didn’t make it out this year and to celebrate the memory of the weekend to all those that did.
I apologize for being waaaay too much of a camera whore and slurring the opening speech. Remember everyone, “Use the picto-chat risely.” God, I suck…
Anyway, let’s break open Episode 1: ACEN 2008 the TRAILER! Got more coming down the pipe. All videos were slashed and cut but our friend of justice, JayDog the Lazer Lord. Hit the jump for the hi-res VEOH version that you can download. We also got Mike of R5 Central working on a way to get it beamed straight to your iPod, Zune or portable media device for hot Video Podcast action.
QUARTET - LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF YOUR HEART
Airs May 25th 2008.
2008. Wataru is starting to have doubts about his battle with the Fangire. He is attacked by Ixa and loses consciousness. The Bloody Rose alerts Wataru about Seastar Fangire attacking Mami and Wataru, completely exasperated, takes the Bloody Rose and tries to break it: “It’s all because of this thing…!”.
1986. Otoya, having become the violin teacher for the prodigy Mami, gives her a simple order: to play and not think about anything else. Mami is slowly being moved by these words and the day of the audition finally comes…
The Gaiark strategist, Land Pollution Viceminister Hiramechimedes has arrived to the Human World! The Go-ongers confront him with the Enjin-O G6 but they’re not match for Hiramechimedes’ Bandoma. The rangers then decide to attack separately but not even Speedor’s jump power can reach him and makes him end up with severe damage. On top of that, the other Enjin, aware of Hiramechimedes’ power, are about to give up…
AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #13
There’s a contract out on The Taskmaster, and no shortage of villains willing to fulfill it. But what’ll kill him first — the bad guys, or his latest class of recruits? Welcome Annex, Prodigy, Gorilla Girl, Sunstreak and Batwing to the Initiative. But are they — is anyone — ready for the coming of…Butterball?? Read the rest of this entry »
So right now Keith and myself are currently recovering from con withdrawl (and wishing that we could have a vacation from the vacation that this con was supposed to be…), but that’s not to say that we aren’t gearing up to unleash the mayhem that ensued during our time at Anime Central 08′.
To get you hyped up in the meantime, here’s my mega-teaser, done in the style of the opening theme to the crime drama, R5 Central Presents: “The Great Chase”.
This Week on R5 Central:
Recently, ally in arms, Keith Hayward (aka Keith Justice) was something of a lucky bastard. With portable mic in hand, he managed to attend the wrap party and final shooting day for the highly-anticipated series, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Included in this episode of R5, aside from a musical tribute to Kirinji’s 10th Anniversary, are Keith’s take on his sneak peek of the first four episodes along with brief interviews with Matt Mullins and Mark Musashi.

Anime Central 2008 goes hot in about four days and counting. I’ll be getting there with Gaijinder/Kimiden/Mike Dent Thursday night and we’ll hit the ground snapping pictures, grabbing audio and doing interviews like we always do. This year is also The Year of the Ranger Fan. Heroes from the RangerBoard will be in attendance as well as Power Ranger Alumni! This should be quite the year. Keep an eye out for me and if you don’t know what I look like I’m sure you’ll find a picture or two somewhere.
Got my Garren Rouser packed, my morphers picked out, and my Nintendo DS strapped.
Here’s yet another encore of last years epic ACen video ho down. Click, enjoy, and I will see you guys in a little less than four days!
