This Sunday will see the first screening of our Anime Showtime! Series of screening events.
We’ve rented out a cosy theatre at Whirled Art Cinema for you to hang out with us and watch an very cool anime film Summer Wars.

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!
We’re now only two days away from the MCM Expo at London Excel and we’re running around to bring everything together just right.
If you making your way down on any of the days from the 28th-30th, be sure to stop by our stall and say hi.
Here’s a sneek peak at some of what you’ll find waiting for you…of course we have our t-shirts including the new 11th Hour design.
Every package will come with a manga page and a few other surprises…
We’ll also be giving away these very cool oystercard holders for all cosplayers that take part in our competition…or if you ask us nicely 🙂
Plus, there will be regular giveaways every 90 minutes throughout the three days of the event. All you have to do is get a ticket from us and see if yours is the winning one….that’s it! We won’t tell you what the prize is…We don’t want to spoil the surprise!
Be sure to come by our stall when you visit MCM this weekend and hang out with us – just look for the guys in mayamada t-shirts having a great time ^_^
As we get our plans together for the MCM Expo, we want to let all you cosplayers know about our competition to win a free mayamada t-shirt.
The rules are simple…
We’ll announce who the lucky cosplayer is on Monday November 14th.
The MCM Expo is at the end of the month from the 28th – 30th of October. As well as our cosplay competition, we’ll have t-shirts for sale (including a brand new design), plus regular giveaways throughout the event.
We’ll be at MCM all 3 days so there’s plenty of time to stop by and take part to win a free t-shirt.
For some inspiration, take a look at some of the picks from the MCM Expo in May….
See you there ^_^
We have more pictures from the mayamada picnic the past month. Look out for a few videos from the day and a behind the scenes look as me put together the mayamada cupcakes 🙂
 
Thankfully umbrellas weren’t needed all day!
Everyone got stuck into the cakes as soon as they came out.
Everyone waited in anticipation for the t-shirt giveaway
One of the lucky t-shirt winners…
We’ll have to do another next summer. Check out our Facebook page for all the photos.
There are a few things we at mayamada learned over the weekend.
This past Saturday saw the first mayamada picnic this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen. It started off well when we got to the park and unpacked everything in the middle of Hyde Park…and then came the rain!
After getting very wet, buying a few emergency umbrellas, a shower curtain and deck chairs for an improvised tent…we decided that we couldn’t wait out the rain and found nearby cover.
But the great thing is people still turned up, and once the rain cleared we went from this….
To this.
A really great turn out considering the early downpour.
Of course, we had mayamada cupcakes on show again…
…and things turned out well in the end – high five!
For all the planning you do beforehand for an event, it’s highly likely things will not go to, well, plan. Don’t let that fact put you off planning though. Just remember to stay flexible and positive so when things go a little off the rails you can still have a good time – and we did! A big thanks to everyone that came down to make it a super fun time 🙂
Look our for more pictures on our Facebook page. If you were there on the day be sure to let us know what you though too.
It’s now only a few weeks until our picnic in Hyde Park and the excitement is building.
We’ll be in Hyde Park on the 20th of August for a fun day out to celebrate the end of summer, mayamada style. We’ll have FREE food and drink, a t-shirt giveaway and a few other surprises too 🙂
We recently got a bunch flyers printed to hand out and we’re putting together the menu and plans for entertainment. You keep up with our plans for the day on the event page.
What a day! I always look forward to doing photoshoots for new tees as each one is something different and our photoshoot last week was no exception.
You’ve seen the story behind the show and the characters featured in the design…now we can tell you about the t-shirt itself.
The day stared off at a nice pub called the Lemon Tree. They were kind enough to let us take over the upstairs for hair and make up. The models Andrees and Riyonn were expertly made up…
…while the rest of us waited…
