Don't forget to head over to OhayoCon and enjoy and evening of Anime HELL. Ryan and Jeff will have hours of stuff to show you, starting at 10pm in the Delaware room, aka Panel Room 1. And then it's Midnight Madness at Midnight. It's loads of fun and you'll laugh until you cry!

OhayoCon Saturday Night

It's not AnimeHELL unless something goes wrong. I've had to come to terms with this. May Heino give me the strength to deal with the problems that plague AnimeHELL.

The problems had started early. Thursday morning, before I got on the plane to go to Columbus, I got the blue screen of death on my laptop before I could burn the new DVDs I wanted to play at HELL. It was an epic headdesk moment. Out of time, all I could do was pack my external hard drive that I had backed up the DVD files onto and hope that Jeff and Gavv could help me before Saturday night's show. Then get on the plane.

Luckily, Jeff had a DVD burner. Unfortunately we didn't have any blank DVDs. So there was a chilly walk to CVS for a spindle on Saturday morning. Once we got the DVDs burned I thought I was in the clear. Not so.

I had the advantage of seeing how the setup for Friday night's Anime Hell worked which allowed me to plan for the layout of the room and position of the screens. And we had an hour of setup before the show to move tables and chairs and microphones. No problems, right? Unlike Gavv and Jeff, I used an Svideo output. And there was no Svideo input for the hotel's AV. And, in my short sightedness, I hadn't packed any other cables for my portable DVD players. Fortunately Jeff had brought down his computer for AMV Wars which had been rescheduled for later that night. In the end we ended up doing the show from Jeff's computer and the hotel's DVD player. And while it wasn't ideal, it worked.

And with this new setup we began Saturday night's "Texas Style" AnimeHELL. Bruce Lewis showed up with a bag of sliders and was soon joined on the microphone by Brett Weaver and J. Michael Tatum. While Joshua Roberts captured our antics on camera. And don't forget the always adorable Hell Nurse Katie baring prizes and treats for all the good little Anime Hellions.

At some point during the show Emily told us that the hentai dubbing panel that was scheduled to follow us in the room was canceled and asked if we could fill the time slot. While things can go wrong at Hell, sometimes they also go very very right. And this was a unexpected bit of good that balanced out the bad. So we continued on into the early hours of the morning.

Sometime after 2:30am we showed the last clip and put a bow on OhayoCon's first OtakuHELL.

I wanna thank everybody who came out to the shows. Especially the folks who stayed to the very end. You guys rock. Thanks to the OhayoCon staff for putting up with us. And thanks to Bruce Lewis, Brett Weaver and Michael Tatum for the magic that they bring to the show. A big thanks to Joshua Roberts who captured the whole event on camera. We'll be posting the photographic evidence on the AnimeHELL website later in the week. And, of course, thanks to Hell Nurse Katie for her deadly ninja-nurse candy throwing skillz. We love you Nurse Katie! And a special thanks to Ryan Gavigan and Jeff Tartarek for making the whole thing work. Heck of a job fellas!

Once more, with feeling




(Go to the YouTube site and watch the high quality version, which actually looks high quality instead of the fistful of pixels in the normal version)

Anime Hell is pleased as punch to be back at Ohayocon for what feels like the 50th year.

In fact, the powers that be within Ohayocon were excited enough about Anime Hell's room-bustingly huge overflow showing at Ohayocon 2008 that we've been asked to provide two shows this year!

One will be at its regular Friday night time slot in what we hope will be a bigger room and will be hosted by those stalwart souls Gavv and Rich Lather (hey, that's me!). But for the first time ever, the second show on Saturday night will have new hosts! We're proud to welcome a terrible Texas twosome who bear many scars from Anime Hell events throughout the southern half of the United States: Danno Baker and Ohayocon guest Bruce Lewis! And dare I say that a return appearance by Hell Nurse Katie may be in the works?

To commemorate this unprecedented spectacle, we've decided upon a pro wrestling-themed program. No, it won't be completely full of wrestling clips, but you can expect some interesting changes in how things are presented!

And remember--this is not AMV Hell. This is Anime Hell. If you came here only to see AMV Hell, get the f--well, you know.
