- Dance Contest
Anime Overload is hosting a dance contest on Friday during a huge two hour time slot. I am very excited to be heading this panel and hope to infuse my experience as both an attendee and a volunteer in to this contest to make it more than your average, single round contest. Instead, we will have three judges commenting on every dance, heavy audience participation, and multiple rounds to ensure fair judging and high entertainment. This is going to be a huge event, but only if you sign-up and attend! So make sure to sign up to compete or just dance and be done, either way any dance act will be accepted (unless you want to "dance" with weapons, all cons rules DO apply to this contest). When available a more specific time will be posted so you can make sure to attend ahead of time! (sign ups will be on-site during the convention up till an hour before it starts)

Learn a little about everything from where to get supplies, how to pick a cosplay idea, what materials you'll need, and all that other stuff to get you started and on the road to becoming a great cosplayer. This is a great panel to ask for advice so don't miss out!

- Ninja Hell
ninjaHELL! is a clip show where the audience is treated to the worst of the worst in bad Cinema and Television, awkward Sex-ed specials from the 1940's, wartime propaganda, corporate propaganda, odd cartoons from around the world, and any other strange footage we find (usually from the days of VHS tapes). We make fun of the clips while we show them, and we usually have different giveaways, contests, special guests, dancing, and whatever else we randomly decide to do while entertaining the audience. It's meant to be a late night / early morning event, and is only for those who are 17 or older. Think of it as a giant video room - if you don't like what you see, or you want to go get a bite to eat, you can walk out and come back in later on.
