May 2003 Contest

Big Box o' Manga Contest

Well, the good folks at TOKYOPOP sent me a huge box of manga containing approximately 24 Graphic Novelss as prizes for this contest. However, in their excitement they forgot to write down what was in the box, so the contest will be to guess what's in the box. Each entry can have up to 7 guesses, 5 of which  must actually be in the box in order to win. You will win 3 graphic novels, of which at least 2 will be from the 5 matching titles from your entry. Max 2 entries per person. In the case of too many winning entries, winners will be chosen at random.

In addition to your guesses of 7 manga titles:

1) Real Name (and forum nickname if available)
2) Real mailing address

Contest closes June 26, 2003, midnight EST.

The fine print: All entries become the property of AnimeonDVD.com and may be used in any promotional way. Contestants email addresses will not be given out to anyone. AnimeonDVD.com reserves the right to cancel or alter the contest at any time due to circumstances, however this is highly unlikely so fear not. AnimeonDVD.com reserves the right to add rules at any time. Only one entry per person.

 


And the winners are:

Okay, Cyber_3 here. I know you're all jones-ing to know what was in the Big Box o' Manga that TOKYOPOP so kindly bestowed upon us, where here are the contents - read 'em and weep:

Angelic Layer 1-3
Battle Royale 1
Demon Diary 1
GTO 1
Initial-D 1
INVU 1
Kodocha 1-3
Love Hina 1
The Man of Many Faces 1
Mars 1-4
Paradise Kiss 1
Peach Girl - Change of Heart 1-2
Priest 1-3
Wish 1

And I say weep because apparently this contest was a LOT harder than I
thought. There were actually only 4 winners. What does this mean? That
means 4 lucky people can anticipate 6 manga graphic novels to arrive in the mail sometime in the next week or so. Yep, 6.

I must say though, as I went through the entries, there was much screaming and cursing on my part. So much so that the neighbours actually bothered to complain (well, it's summer, all the windows are open, a-heh heh). What was I cursing? I was cursing the many MANY entries with titles like "Rising Stars of Manga" or "Sushi Squad" or even "Dragon Ball". The first 2, are not manga, the third, is not produced by Tokyopop and while it might seem like they would play such a cruel joke on you folks, they're actually pretty nice people (Embedded image moved to file: pic00041.gif). I even got one guess for MegaTokyo o_O. I also saw that I accidentally misled more than a few people into thinking Fake was a hint intead of the reality that I actually purchased on my own....oops. One weird thing was, I think that pretty much everyone guessed Chobits. Man, after a while even *I* began to
think that it just might be in the box - ahahaha!

I will be sending out the offical e-mails later today. I tried to split the
prizes up so everyone got something different. I hope that you all won
something that you like and something you don't already own.
