11th Hour Character Profile: Cookie Boy Norio

Mr L December 22, 2011 No Comments

It’s time to introduce you all to the characters of our latest show, The 11th Hour. For those of you just tuning in, The 11th Hour follows four individuals in a manhunt turned rat-race against time. The show is inspired by the hit series 24 but only as far as the time aspect; the show details are more anime-esque so expect character development, sinister plots, tough bad guys and huge battles :D.

During our first visit to MCM as dealers, we got the chance to meet up with the friendly guys over at the Geek Show. They do a live radio show every Monday 6-8pm which can be streamed live on thegeekshow.co.uk or on real life radio (104. 5 fm) if you’re in the Teesside area – that’s north England for our international viewers 🙂

mayamada November 7, 2011 No Comments

We’re back with the next episode of Hot Lunch, showing the story of a slick team of food thieves led by Taishi – a tiger on a mission for revenge.

A few years have passed since Taishi was booted out from the Circle of Flavour apprenticeship and he is now looking to recruit his team members to help with his plan to take down the chef cartel.

The first on the list is Tancho: A smart-mouthed strategist who has outgrown his current crew and is looking for his next big opportunity.

Enjoy ^_^

Mayamada At MCM Expo Recap

Nigel November 1, 2011 2 Comments

This weekend saw our first appearance at the MCM Expo in East London.  For those that don’t know about it, MCM is the biggest celebration of all things gaming sci-fi anime, manga, cosplay and general geekiness in the UK.

MCM is about the same as the New York Comic Con, but the cost of travel is much cheaper for us 🙂

We took the mayamada team down for three days of non stop standing on your feet, but it was so worth the lower back damage because we had an amazing time talking to loads of friendly and passionate people as well as make new friends and fans along the way.

Here are some of the best moments from the show…

We visited MCM in May but now that we had a stall we got to skip the lines.

Even though the area was massive, it didn’t take too long to find our spot.

 

 

Once we set up our stall we were off and running!
