Linus Lam's Coverage of Anime Central 2001

Hang onto your anime LDs, old artbooks, and outdated anime soundtracks because you just may have found them useful if you ever get a chance to compete in the game shows held over the weekend!

Anime Central 2001
Events: Game Shows Galore!


Anime Match Game Show: Two contestants battled wits with six celebrity luminaries for several exciting rounds of popular anime knowledge and then some!

Anime Trivia Game Show: Four select contestants, chosen for their brave skills, mad wits, and dutifully updated knowledge base on all that is anime, battled for the finish line in numerous wacky mind games to vie for top dog status. Who would be the Anime Trivia God? Shown above, Ernest Kim puts mecha stats in order and attempts to make a hole in one on the putting green from his most correct answer.

The four contestants think carefully... good thing they didn't find themselves making errors on the Otaku Dating Game!	Ed "k1" Kwon climbs the mountain of cerebral insanity with some particularly difficult trivia questions given by Game Show Host Ryan Gavigan.

And the crowd goes wild as the winners and runners-up are announced and free merchandise is given away, thanks to the Anime Central sponsors.	Ed poses proudly next to the scoreboard. Girls, this ain't no regular otaku; this here's a rare species with bishounen looks to swoon for!

"Yessiree, I am the *ANIME TRIVIA GOD!*"
