Work and cons
Well it's been a while since I posted here last. I've been to several cons, just returned from Otakon which was a lot of fun but of course Baltimore in August is HOT! Been busy trying out this new idea for using bittorrent and making promotional torrents. Did one for a special trailer for Madlax and it has been so popular that I have expanded it with a new one for Godannar that has a LOT more to it. Trailers, teasers, open and closing animation, desktop backgrounds, character bios, mecha stats, story synopsis and cool artwork. The idea is to try and give you a bunch of info about a series but not spoil it so you can better decide if you want to pick up the DVDs or not. You can find them at:

Godannar - http://bt.advfilms.com/torrents/Godannar.torrent
Madlax - http://bt.advfilms.com/torrents/MadlaxPromo.avi.torrent

Let me know what you think of them and anything you'd like to see in a torrent like this in the future.

Of course feel free to spread those links around.

BLARG I cant get any of them to work ;_; Ive tried Core, windows, and Realplayer... and I really like Madlax - or what ive seen of it! You know youve got yourself a good anime when after the first ten minutes you just wanna keep watching to find out what the hell is gong on! o_O

Oh well - I REALLY CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AT AWA! Clearly, I'm a fan ^_~ I, ofcourse, will be going as Asuka in my bright yellow dress of death. Love you!

Install the xvid codec and it should work fine. You can find that at http://www.koepi.org/XviD-1.0.3-20122004.exe

Intriguing. Will have to check into that. It sounds like a great promo idea.

Oh, need to talk at you soon regarding AWA. Peace.

Yes, it works with QT. You need an mpeg4 codec, which I think the latest QT might come with. Mac users have watched it so we know it works. Xvid is what I use on the PC.

At first I thought that this marketing idea was just silly. But I took a bite and I actually like it. I think the biggest problem is going to be convincing the fansub community to download it in the first place. If you want, maybe I can promote it on my site for you... ::wink:: ::wink:: After all, my target audience is the fansub community.

But shameless self-promotions aside, there's still one thing that I think would be great for this kind of marketing-

Full Episode Preview Torrents

I love the full episode previews that you send out through your Anime ADVocates program. They always give me a very good idea on whether I like a series or not and if I should go out and get it. But now that I'm no longer in an anime club, I can no longer enjoy them. And so I would love to have another way of getting these previews to see what I want and don't want.

Feel free to promote it on your site if you like. :)

But if you do, be sure and grab the new corrected links as I made a mistake originally on the Madlax one. Opps.

Did you know your BT marketing decision was big talk amongst the geek community? Not only did you get Slashdotted, but you got Slashdotted TWICE! Congrats on entering a brave new frontier! ^_^

Being an bit of an old geek myself I did notice. :)

It was cool seeing it on slashdot, just wish the second time it had included the Godannar link. Nothing helps spread a file faster than slashdot. :)

Plan on doing more as well as exploring other possiblities as well.
