AUTUMN: THE DANDIEST SEASON

Autumn’s rapidly creeping in and isn’t it just the Dandiest of the seasons?  It is in the UK anyway because we have a season long focus on Space Dandy and the crew of the Aloha Oe!

Very excited about all the goings on so without further ado – here’s a list of them.

SPACE DANDY – AUTUMN EVENTS:

MCM SCOTLAND EXPO: September 6th & 7th:

1. Meet Space Dandy’s Director!

What: Meet Shingo Natsume for signings on the Anime Limited stand!   For free!

How do I take part? We have 200 free signing cards to give-away on a first-come, first served basis split across the two days (125 on the Saturday, 75 on the Sunday).  Anyone buying Dandy merchandise at the stand can also come along and get it signed of course!

When: Saturday – 12:00 – 13:30 | Sunday – 12:00 – 13:00

2. Hear all about Space Dandy!

What: Hosted by Anime Limited’s president, Andrew Partridge, join director of Space Dandy (Shingo Natsume) for a panel delving into Space Dandy and more in a rare chance to hear from a director in the anime industry!

How do I take part: Turn up at MCM Glasgow Comic Con’s main stage for 15:30 (check the show-guide in case that time has shifted of course) and be ready to ask questions – we’ve left a healthy amount of time for them!

When: Saturday 6th of September, MCM Comic Con Main stage.

3. Collect Space Dandy music on vinyl!

What: We’ve got an extremely limited amount of Space Dandy 8-track vinyl soundtracks coming to MCM Glasgow Comic Con to celebrate the director’s presence!  We’ll be selling 20 of them at the event for £18 – these aren’t available on general sale as they were an event-only sale in Japan so grab your piece of Dandy history on a first-come-first-served basis!

How do I take part: Swing by the Anime Limited stand and grab one while stock lasts!

When: Throughout MCM Scotland Comic Con

 

MCM LONDON COMIC CON – OCTOBER: October 24th & 26th:

1. Special guest!

What: Ohohoho!  We have a special guest coming to MCM London – it’s a familiar face too back for a second time and he’s been super busy this year!  Expect a Dandy panel among the obvious signing sessions on Saturday and Sunday with him and more.  We’ll update this section when everything is official.

How do I take part: Be at London Comic Con in October – simple as that!

When: October 24th – 26th

2. Space Dandy – Season 1 launch!

What: It’s true – we’re aiming to have Space Dandy Season 1 available for sale at MCM Comic Con!  We’ll have more information at the event but obviously we have some promotional tricks up our sleeve there so you don’t want to miss out!  Pre-ordered it on Amazon?  Don’t cancel your order in a rush as we’ll have special gifts for you too ;)!

How do I take part: Be at London Comic Con in October – simple as that!

When: October 24th – 26th

LEEDS FILM FESTIVAL: NOVEMBER 9th

What: We couldn’t say yet, they’ve not said yet either!  So watch this space!  All we can say to avoid misleading is it’s not a guest-based event :)…

How do I take part: Go to their Anime Day – you won’t be disappointed I can assure you.

When: November 9th

AUCHINAWA: NOVEMBER 14th – 16th:

What: It’s their last EVER event – so we want to make sure they go forwards following the Dandy way to live!  We’ve not even told them what we have in mind yet so we couldn’t possibly say what we have in mind yet!  Instead we recommend you register for their weekend event here: www.auchinawa.org.uk.  Again it’s not guest related.

How do I take part: Register here – www.auchinawa.org.uk then just await further information ;)!

When: November 14th – 16th
