Bakuretsu Con Announces Three New Guests

Colchester, VT- September 1, 2009- Bakuretsu Con is pleased to announce that voice actresses' Leah Clark will be attending this year's convention as guests of honor. We are also excited to announce that fan-favorite guest Scott Melzer director of This is Otakudom in addition to fellow NoN.D.E. Fanfilms Mike Wall and Marc McKenzie will also be ing us.

Bakuretsu Con must also regretfully announce that Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files (Juri), and assorted characters in Dragon Balls Z and GT, amongst others.

Scott Melzer has been an anime fan since birth in 1966, Scott grew up on Star Blazers, having no idea of the shows' origins. In college he learned the truth: they were Japanese, and there were uncut versions of these shows! And there were conventions! Rabid otakunization soon followed. In 2001 he tried his hand at directing fan parodies, and the homage to fans and fandom "This Is Otakudom" was the result. He then began running s at conventions to introduce others to fan made films and help people make their own. His latest video project is the fan parody, "S.T.E.A.M.: The Movie" which took over three and a half years to finish.
