This Saturday and Sunday. OP stage events on both days. All the VA's will be present on both days. Hopefully they'll keep a leash on Yamaguchi.
JUMP Festa 2008 (2007 for everyone but Shueisha)
-
-
Awesome. Do they ever make any announcements about their manga or anime at JUMP Festa?
-
Besides VA's, what else do we have to look forward to this year Greg?
-
I can't wait to see if anything exciting unfolds this year.
-

Not sure. They literally listed all of them as attending in JUMP for BOTH days which is, I believe, the first time they've done so in JUMP. That said, we may just have them or….there may be a surprise guest. Since the filler arc wrapped up and TB is coming to a close, I'm guessing we might hear Sant....er a certain skeleton's magic laughter on that very stage, "Yo-Ho-Ho~!"
-
I've heard people say things about Yamaguchi, just what does he do at these events that he needs a leash? XD
-
Some of what he does is funny and Oda plays off of him REALLY well, but he just tries to be MISTER SILLY GIGGLES! and it's annoying after he says 'poop' for the 10th time.
I dunno, nothing wrong, fans love it, it's just annoying when they could be answering questions or doing shit productive.
-
I trust we'll hear some stuff about Movie 9 and anime Thriller Bark. Speaking of which, I hope people ask about Odz being in movie 9 and how dragged on Thriller Bark will be in the anime, but this is for JUMP and not Toei. So I doubt it.
-
Been keeping track of the website: both OP and Bleach get two conferences over both days while every other series just gets one. Also saw they are going to probably bring "replica Sunny" to the place and some really neat merchandise. (including a massive print of the "Luffy and all his rivals" pic from last year)
-
JUMP Festa 2008, huh? Seems kinda interesting. I hope something good happens over there.
-
Expect to have some time wasted on Oda answering the question whether or not he intended to include Brook from the time he drew Laboon or not.
Seems like a point they'll want to make.
-
I wonder if anyone will ask Oda if he plans on making Brook join. He probably wouldn't reveal anything though. Man I hope we get some good info. I wish I was in Japan so I could go. I also wish I was there so I could go to a live concert that Takanori Nishikawa is having on New Year's Eve.
-
Oh! Take loys of pics and vids please~ Are there any scans of special events this year? By the way what ever happened to that One Piece X Naruto X Kishimoto X Oda on stage thng from last years JUMP Festa?

You could always read the thread from last year where we covered it in detail.
-
Ahhhh how exciting! I wait for this time every year just to get the JF report!!
-
somebody should ask him where perona went. :(
-
Awesome. I need to go to one of these before I die.
Also, I heard that Super Smash Bros. Brawl is going to be making an appearance. Cool stuff.

@Tokoro:
(including a massive print of the "Luffy and all his rivals" pic from last year)
GOD DAMN! That'd be a great thing to hang on the wall…wonder if any will end up on eBay or something.

I think it's this one, unless there's another which I would absolutely want to see
!
-
That's just great.

Yes, it's also signed by Oda.
And if I recall the ad correctly, it's also $800.
-
Ok, on Saturday the OP event is 3:40-4:20PM my time. That means 1:40-2:40AM for those is US Eastern Standard time.
On Sunday it's 3:30-4:20PM so 1:30-2:20AM on most other people's end.
Will send pics and such prior to the stage event. Also, Mari Yaguchi formerly of Morning Musume will be there on Sunday promoting the OP radio show.

Hells yeah, I picked up the issue of Weekly Jump with that poster. Still have it hanging on my wall! It's awesome!
-

As if they needed more creeps there
-
^And I was just about to post "screw OP I just want as many pics of Yagguchan as possible!!!!" But now I feel all dirty inside…
Ahh well, I guess my love hello picture book has to be enough for now.
But srsly..if she does another Pirate cosplay or something DO WANT~!! -
Okay, when I wake up it'll be show time. I haven't read this week's chapter and it hasn't been released here yet so chances are I won't actually even read this thread until next week to avoid spoiling myself. Sorry guys. However, the updates are in good hands and even though I can't answer any questions I will post impressions when I get back tomorrow. Sunday I will not be able to post impressions as I will busy with getting the final preparations for my proposal in order. I will eventually answer any/all questions etc. Sorry, this just happened to come along at a super busy (and super happy) time in my personal life.

PS. I will have a number of pictures but i don't intend to waste my time to bring you useless pictures of OP merchandise you can't hold in your hands. If you want an influx of OP media that isn't good for much other than to look at and say, "Man I wish I lived in Japan!", I suggest you visit Kaizoku-Fansubs and check out crossbones' thread. He usually does that kind of stuff. I'll just be telling you what actually happens.
-
Yea, we expect actual information from ya Greg, not just pretty pictures.
-
Godspeed, good sir.
-
Here's a bit of weird news that relates to Jump Festa.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-12-21/dragon-ball-naruto-one-piece-to-enter-second-life
I have no idea what Second Life is but all three of them look like shit.

T-Minus 2 hours to launch. Just waking up.

Good luck, I've never been to a con before but it must be heck, espicially one in which the majority do not speak a language one is more adept at.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Taiar (Not Really) and I will be providing JumpFesta '08 coverage on behalf of our good friend Greg.
As proof of my intentions, I offer the first picture of the night!
He says he's just left, and the weather is Rain Tempo.I figured out that thumbnail thing. Huzzah! More coverage of the experience as follows!
He's getting on the trail now, and it'll be about 1 Hour and 20 minutes or so. (Time At Post: 9:00 PM, EST.)
The train is medium crowded. And the guy in the red jacket is reading Hentai shit.I figure I should start time-stamping the seperate edits to this single post starting here, because it might be a bit weird for people not seeing it in real time. And I guess I'll be forced to move onto a new post when we hit the 10 Image cap. My intention was just to keep making new posts as that's required.
(10:00 PM)
Passing Disneyland.(10:16 PM) He's about 2 minutes away at this point…
-
Heh, nice. Can't wait for some fun, random info through the night, like last year.
-
Haha, nice at the hentai dude. Go, guy, go.
I hope there's new information from Oda or whatnot this year.
-
Many thanks!!!
And please Mr. Taiar, if its possible ask Mr. Greg what he saw in the nintendo both, if people where plaiying or it was just a demo.

Go Third Post!
(11:00~ish PM, Cont) The Video Game images are from a Card Battle Game, featuring Grand Battle-like graphics this Spring.
A quote from Greg himself: "The DB Burst Limit graphics are F*cking Insane!"
(11:15~ish PM) Goku's VA just gave everyone a "Kamehameha!!" He says he got a good movie of Goku and Vegeta giving the Audience a Kamehamehe as well. All 291 Episodes of Dragon Ball Z will be available over Cellphone at 5859.jp.
Also: Greg has confirmed they are playing Smash. (Pic unrelated.)
(11:30~ish) It seems Hironobu Kageyama is there at Jump Festa as well and performed We Gotta Power! Greg got video, so hold onto your arses for that in the future.
Greg: "The movie 9 long trailer animation is f*cking unreal! Gear 2nd Gatling will be in it and it is seriously sick looking! The One Piece original drawings are drop dead unreal too. PS, Volume 47 cover looks great, without the awful background on the tank."
He's got "Bad Quality Video" of the original OP sketches from afar. Effin tight.
-
Wow, that's some nice looking cosplay. Amazing hair.
Ooooh, they have Moria as black. How cruel, reveal him!

Big DB fan here!
-
So that's what grand battle is reduced to eh?
Sad.
-
Would be awesome if they took out the card system.
-
Gonna try to keep the informative posts seperate from my generic comments.
Yeah, the cosplayers do look great. I wish I had the cahones to Cosplay and looked that good.
The worst part about a card system is that some of us here will never figure it out… Fighting Games are always easy to pick up and appreciate.
-
More pictures, so Fourth Post is a go! (I should like to disclaimer at this point and say that I'm decoding some of Greg's texts, and I could be getting it wrong. If anything is particularly disappointing, he could come back and correct me for the greater good!)
10th Aniversary Wall Art by Oda himself.
He's replaced his crappy quality movie of the original sketches with a good movie of the sketches along with the Entrance of the OP area from Sunny.
(12:15~ish AM) He got a video of the full Movie 9 trailer as well, and then the VA's showed up. He had to go line up for the main One Piece event though.
(12:30~ish AM) Any of us who have been to a convention before will be no stranger to the next bit. An hour's wait for the One Piece main event. The line looks like this!
There's no way in hell he'll be able to get any video footage of this event. Reportedly, there are guys in towers with binoculars.
I guess we can't put Greg down and out yet. He says the Bleach show is going on right now, and the crowd is already going wild for Hitsugaya Toushiro.
Also: Previously mentioned guys in towers.
Greg says he really isn't paying attention to the Bleach stage, but it's like one huge movie advertisement. Sambomaster is there playing right now, probably Hikari no Rock.
-
That 10th Anniversary art looks really groovy.
Oda never ceases to amaze.
-
Amazing Pics. Now im more interested that DBZ Game haha <3
and those cosplayer are awesome :3
-
Wow wallart? I wonder how long it took to draw that… And how does the boat race work? Are they automatic or remote controlled?
-
So that's what grand battle is reduced to eh?
Sad.
Well Gekito ninja taisen has a card game game I think too. So there's hope? I mean they have the character models now….
Yeah I doubt it.
