Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Anime Style!

Post by coolforever »

Well boys and girls, hope you know what your final answer is, because the Anime edition of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is returning to Anime Boston once again!!!!

Figured I'd make a new topic instead of bumping my old one, especially since I have some exciting stuff to go over.

First off, to everyone that has supported my panel over the last 5 years that I have been running this, I thank you a lot. Without you guys, this panel wouldn't have come as far as it has.

And because of that, I'm happy to say that as of last May, this event is now SPONSORED BY FUNIMATION!!!! :D They have been unbelievably nice in terms of providing prizes for this panel, and I'll be giving away a lot, and I mean A LOT of good stuff this year. From DVD's, to video games, and even to gift cards, there's gonna be quite a lot of big prizes available in this panel.

Here's an example of how the show went when I ran it last year:

We have come very, and I mean VERY close to having a $1,000,000 winner on our show over the last several cons, but we haven't had that ultimate winner since Portcon in 2012. So I'm going to be giving away a HUGE prize pack to anyone that can possibly go all the way, and try to win it all! (If you are wondering what that grand prize is, watch some of my previous panel videos :P)

So if you have the guts, the knowledge, and the wits, come down and enjoy the fun with this panel!! :)

The time of this panel has not been announced yet, but I will keep this topic updated as we get closer to the con. :D

...You sir, are a genius.

Talent like yours is why I advocate for regular panelists to get public recognition by Anime Boston.

You do it because you love what you do and you know you can make alot of people happy. It takes someone special to pull it off. It takes someone with passion to do it every year.

Keep up the good work ^_^

Many thanks :)

And we've been given a GOLDEN time slot, 8 PM on Friday night!!! It's like the Anime prime time schedule for a game show :D

Like I said, we are going to have A LOT of good prizes. Hope to see everyone there!!! :D

I'll have to sort out whether I want to attend the LiSA concert or your game show as they start at the same time. I watched the whole video of last year's. Don't know about Bleach or Naruto but I do certainly know about other titles.

Well, not to brag, but you can win some awesome stuff at my panel ;) but either way, I'll be recording the whole panel again and worst case scenario, if you can't make it up, I'll be at a bunch of other cons again this year running the event.

But that being said, I do have a lot of time to work with especially since I have 30 minutes to set up and an extra 30 minutes to break down. Last year I set everything up quickly enough that I actually started 15 minutes early and got a couple extra contestants up. Hopefully I can do the same this time. :D

I think I'll finally be able to check this out this year! I must say I do pretty well based off the YouTube videos, haha. But, sitting an watching is really fun as well. Good Luck man!

I'm happy to say that the panel went AWESOME once again this year. We completely filled the room!

I unfortunately have one small gripe as the video that I took ended up getting blocked 3/4 of the time by someone's really tall head, so I have to do some heavy editing to show everyone online how the panel went.

But that being said, to anyone that was able to attend, anyone have feedback on it? I'd love to hear it. :)
