Samurai Chef Manga

Nigel September 4, 2012 No Comments

It’s been over a month since we launched our Indiegogo campaign to raise fund for the Samurai Chef manga book and we’re happy to say the fund have been raised!

Now the hard work really starts.  We’ll be working to putting the book together over the next two months and it’s thanks to the people that have supported us by donating and spreading the word about or first manga volume.

 

 

Throughout September we’ll be showing the artwork as it’s being put together including previews of the manga before it comes out.

 

Stay tuned ^_^

Cosplay Dodgeball

mayamada August 9, 2012 No Comments


If you were at our last screening you would have heard us mention something about cosplay dodgeball. Well we’ve got more details on our plans to hold our first ever cosplay dodgeball tournament.

We’ll soon be gathering eight teams of cosplayers to take part in the tournament to be crowned the best cosplay team around plus a cash prize up for the taking.  Grab you friends and get ready for this one!

The winning team will also play a mayamada team for the chance to win one of every new t-shirt we make in 2013.

You can come as a character from any number of anime shows and the world of gaming.  One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Team Fortress, Mario, Final Fantasy – time to get creative ^_^

Date and location information will be coming next week.  In the meantime drop by our Facebook page too and let us know who you will come as.

Cosplay Hall of Fame

Convention season is almost here and we’ve got something cool in store for cosplayers at this summer’s London Anime Convention on the 30th of June and 1st of July.

 

Throughout the two days we’ll be taking pictures of the best cosplayers at the show to be entered in our website Hall of Fame: A section on the mayamada website dedicated to the best cosplayers from every event we go to.

Here’s how it works:

  • You track us down (we’re not that hard to find, honest) and get your picture taken by a member of our team.
  • After both the London Anime Con and London Film and Comic Con are done, the pictures will go up on our Facebook page.
  • We’ll then let our fans vote on the best cosplayer characters.  Voting will end on Sunday 15th of July.
  • The cosplayers with the most votes will be forever immortalised in our summer Cosplay Hall of Fame on our website.

To be involved, make sure you stop by our stall on either Saturday or Sunday and demand to have your picture taken by someone.  Shake them if you have to 🙂

Don’t worry if you can’t make the London Anime Convention, because we’ll be continuing the competition at the London Film and Comic Convention just a week later.

Be sure to get your tickets for the shows. You can’t enter the competition if you can’t get in the building!

Get your outfits ready and make sure you’re looking your best.

We can’t wait to see you ^_^

Mayamada Prime Time Volume 1: Our Kickstarter Campaign

Since we started making teaser pages of manga for each of our shows, people have continued to ask as when is the full book coming out.  We didn’t have an answer for them, until now that is.

Today we launched our long awaited Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds needed to create a full mayamada manga book. We wanted to do this in a big way and really showcase our world of fantasy television in manga form and we’re so excited to get the word out to you all.

To make this happen we’ve teamed up with four great artists to produce the artwork for four of the first four shows on the mayamada network: Samurai Chef, The 11th Hour, Hot Lunch, and Serious.  The last one is a brand new show.

But why am I doing so much talking?  You can find out all the details on our Kickstarter page where you can find out how to get involved: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/401125455/mayamada-prime-time-manga-vol-1

We’ll have many more details on the progress of the campaign over the next month, including all the rewards you can get for supporting the book.

Stay tuned!

“Once Again, One Day”​ Supporting Aid For Japan

Nigel May 13, 2012 No Comments

We first met Aaron Jaunty at our picnic last year and since then we discovered he is hard at work making a name for himself in the music world.

He recently released a EP called Once Again, One Day produced by K-Nite 13. You can listen to it on his website.

 

The album was entirely written by Aaron during his visit to Japan when he landed on the day of the 2011 tsunami.

You can listen to it out here for free, or you can pay £5 (or more if you want) for the download and CD version.  I got mine this past week 🙂

 

All the proceeds toward the EP go to Aid For Japan’s ongoing efforts to support children affect by the tragedy last year. Give it a listen and pick up the CD if you like what you here – show your support for a good cause.
