Partnering with Crunchyroll, VIZ Media, and Anime NYC, TMS is organizing a stamp rally activity for Detective Conan fans, offering them the chance to earn a Case Closed-themed Japanese uchiwa fan. To start the rally, fans can pick up a premium stamp card inspired by Case Closed: The Bride of Halloween at the Crunchyroll booth.
The next step is to collect a second stamp at the VIZ booth, and finally, fans can complete the rally at the Anime NYC Merch Store to receive the exclusive uchiwa fan (while supplies last, no purchase necessary). The first person to finish the rally will be awarded a mega-sized Uchiwa fan, proving they are the “Biggest Conan Fan.”
Attendees can participate in the stamp rally throughout Anime NYC weekend, from August 23-25 at the Javits Center in New York.
Adding to the excitement, Detective Conan will return to Anime NYC with the premiere screening of Case Closed: The Bride of Halloween. This film, featuring popular characters like Toru Amuro and Jinpei Matsuda, will make its North American debut on August 24th at 4:30 PM in Panel Room 1.
