NIS America will be attending Anime Expo 2008 at the L.A. Convention Center from July 3rd to July 6th. We’ll be opening up "Prinny State University" (PSU) at our booth, #311 in the South Exhibit Hall, just near the main entrance! And there’ll be 2 special guest artists from Japan. We’ll also hold a Disgaea® Cosplay Contest at our booth! Last, but not least, you can play NISA’s new titles at the booth too! Check out more detailed information below.
     
      What is Prinny State University?

      The Prinny population is flooded over here, and they demanded that we establish a school for them. They sort of decided that education was an important aspect of being an explosive penguin. We aren’t sure how that works, but we listened to their demands.

      Anyway, you can get all the PSU gear at our booth, such as PSU jerseys, PSU hoodies, and lots more! Get your own PSU gear, and support the Prinnies’ academic goal! There’ll also be a giant Prinny alum there, so you can take pictures with him, if that’s your kind of thing!

      You all know about Prinny, don’t you? Well, just in case... Prinny is an exploding penguin from the Disgaea® series. Prinny’s favorite word is "Dood." If you want to show that you are a Prinny maniac, just add "dood" to every sentence, dood.
     
      Who are the special guests?

      Our special guests from Japan are Mr. Takehito Harada, chief character designer/ artist for the Disgaea series, and Ms. Taniel, character designer/ artist for our new DS title coming in October 2008. Ms. Taniel also worked on Blade Dancer™: Lineage of Light on the PlayStation® Portable system.

      We’ll tell you more about that new DS title soon!

      We’ll have an autograph session with them, so if you are a fan of Disgaea or Blade Dancer, you sure won’t want to miss this wonderful opportunity to meet them in person and get their autograph!
     
       
      What is the Disgaea Cosplay Contest?

      Dress up in your best Disgaea costume and join our cosplay contest! The winner will receive a Disgaea Giclee painting! The date and time for this contest will be announced in June. Keep your eyes open for more information in an upcoming NISA e-newsletter!

      What about new NISA titles?

      We’ll be setting up a demo area for you guys, where you can play our new titles before they come out! There’ll be Puchi Puchi Virus™, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice, Disgaea DS, and more! So don’t miss this chance to get a taste of our latest titles before anybody else!
