Kaiju Big Battel Anime Club

Sep 22nd 2006

We are pleased to announce the Kaiju Big Battel Anime Club, a new organization geared towards anime and science fiction clubs from around the globe. Since May's Anime Boston-sponsored Battel, anime clubs have been asking the Commissioner how they can lend a hand in the battle against the villainous Dr. Cube. Upon enrollment in the club, organized fan groups will be provided with educational materials such as the brand new More Better Fighto DVD that will not be released to the general public until next year. Sign up for free today and help put an end to Cube's chaos.

The next live Battel will be held in Boston, MA on Friday, October 20th, 7pm at Avalon Boston. Japanese-horror themed act Gelatine will be opening. Interested press outlets may contact [email protected] for information on attending.
