We're back from Anime Central with tales of our BIZARRE adventure!
ACEN celebrated its 20th show this weekend and it did not disappoint. Thanks to all the great fans, our booth was always bumpin'! The panels full of energy and the excitement definitely rippled through us!
If you came by our booth, you could have snagged some awesome treats. Were you able to get some for yourself?
We also had a FANTASTIC artist, Eric from Pepper Ink, who embarked on the monumental task of creating a special JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE chalk art to celebrate the Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency arcs coming to Blu-ray this July. He persevered through callouses and near-bloody fingers to bring the Joestars to life in just a few short days. Let's look at some of the progress!

It was HUUUUUGE! Here's the artist and me for scale.
Speaking of the Blu-ray, JOJO'S fans have been very curious about the release (which you can pre-order on RightStuf right now)! Because you guys are the best, I have a few more images of the set for you.
First up is the front of the Limited Edition set as it appears on shelf. The sticker is on the shrink wrap and the Blu-ray bar and bottom are a part of a light cardboard wraparound that comes off.
Here's the front of the foil overlaid chipboard case:

. . .and finally, the cover of the 168-page booklet which features episode summaries, comments from the director, and loads of art, storyboards and more!
You can check out more art and the trailer in this post as well!
It was a great convention and we can't wait to come back to see you all again in the Midwest! Thanks to all who attended our panels, came to the booth or just gave hi-fives. See you at the next convention SOON!
