Want to help C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U.?

October 26th, 2011

This is your chance! C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. now has an account you can donate to!

We at C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. work hard each year to bring you entertainment and prizes, but for the most part, this has come from our pockets. Each convention costs us over $500! If you would like to help us go to more conventions, keep providing quality prizes and props (such as the custom t-shirts, pocky, and candy), and maintain this website, then this is your chance and it will be greatly appreciated! If you donate, send an e-mail to Taishi@crazyotaku.com to let me know your name or group if you would like for me to announce it right here on the main page (and get props and promotion during the panel itself)! Any and every bit helps. We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for helping C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. continue to provide you with the best entertainment possible year after year!

Thanks for coming!

June 13th, 2011

Man, this year was intense! I thank you all for coming to CRAZYOTAKU and competing. We’ve only just gotten home and we’re exhausted! We definitely had a learning experience this year. We got to try some great new games and listen to some tunes. However, we will be going back to our old multiple round format next year. For those of you that withstood 3 hours worth of rounds, I salute you! I can’t wait to see you all again! Expect pictures coming soon!

C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. Panel Gets a Makeover!

February 24th, 2011

With only 106 days left until AnimeNEXT 2011, C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U. is already working hard to bring you all an awesome event.  Not only do we plan to be bigger and better than last year (then again, don’t we always promise that?), but with the help of our sponsors and the donations we’ve received, we are morphing our entire panel from single one-shot games and into a full blown elimination battle. 

Yes, you heard correctly, otaku versus otaku until only ten remain to face off in our Final Round, the Pocky-lympics!   And yet, while every Pocky-lympics participant is a true-blue otaku in our eyes, only our top three will take home a prize from C.R.A.Z.Y.O.T.A.K.U.’s library of anime boxsets.

And for all of our otakus who suffer from stage fright and/or the ’bout of bad luck?  Never fear, we have candy for you. ^-^
