A Sakura-Con Commercial

Sakura-Con makes a commercial with the Yu-Gi-Oh! abridged guy.

Like Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged? How sweet, they've made a "commercial" for Sakura Con, starring the YGO Abridged kids listing out all of their favorite things about Japan (Girugamesh!). With a cameo appearance by Edward Elric!

  

Well-played, LittleKuriboh. Well-played indeed. (And thanks Nebs for the link to LK's own thoughts.)

LMMFAO That made my day

Actually, YGO Abridged creator LittleKuriboh has no affiliation with Sakuracon.  He made this vid himself to make fun of an actual Sakuracon commercial, seen here:

He also has a thing against Vic Mignogna. =b

EDIT: LK wrote about it in his blog with some interesting insight:

Nebs: My bad, thanks for the correction.

As for him having a thing against Mignogna...it's hardly uncommon =P

Man I hated that Sakura-Con commercial. It just sounds so forced and just ticks me off to no end.

That parody was quite cute. Tentacle rape indeed.

Yep, having a compilation of YGO Abridged always is entertaining.

Not sure if this is real breaking news or not, but Sakura-con just took that video off Youtube for copyright violation.

I think this is a big deal, and really poor form on their part.
