Tokyo Anime Fair 2013 Blowout: Part II
by Simona Stanzani,
Bandai / Sunrise
This year Bandai and Sunrise are very busy promoting Tiger & Bunny and Gintama's new movie, which will be in the theaters on July 6th. Among the stars of the show, Short Peace's poster announces it will be in theaters on July 20th.
Tiger & Bunny
Just when you thought you had your Sunrise/Bandai fix for the whole year… think again! Tiger & Bunny have got their own booth, promoting "wildly" their new movie The Rising, slated for this Autumn! A real-life size replica of their bike and cut-outs of the heroes welcome you to the show. Inside you get to see everything a T&B fan would ever dream of: action figures, a videogame corner where you can have a go at Hero's Day–the new game that just went on sale on the 20th of March–glasses, watches, backpacks, even cosplay costumes courtesy of Bandai Fashion Net. Sunrise seems very keen to promote the series abroad as well.
Like Creamy Mami exhibition, celebrating her 30th anniversary, with posters and merchandise on display.
Guess what? TMS celebrates Cardfight!! Vanguard's corner.
Inside the booth there is also a big about Suraj, "India's New Kyojin no Hoshi"–probably the first anime about cricket ever produced!
TBS is the MVMP (most valuable Tamako Market are well represented by trailers, tapestries, a B4 poster set and graphig.
King Records has got a small booth but great works on show, Mysterious Girlfriend X, providing a show reel and English leaflets about their whole anime and musicians catalogs.
Nippon Animation's booth is a bit empty, with no new anime to show but a lot of lovely Dog of Flanders and Little Princess, now all digitally remastered in HD.
