From the Desk of the Chairman
Detour Con-goers,
Stop. Can you hear that? It sounds like thunderous footsteps are coming closer. What could it be? I think
I see a giant. My stars, were the Mayans right? Could this be the end? Could it be the cute, but ever
destructive, Pikachu? Could it be the towering Godzilla? No! It’s Anime Detour: It came from Japan!
This year has been a busy one for us. We now have space in the Sofitel next to us for more
programming wonderment. We’ve brought back Nabeshin and his afro to make us all smile. And
most important, you all are coming back.
While this may seem like another year of Anime Detour, for me it is much more. Having been to all
but one Detour, I can tell you it’s a special place. That one year I missed I was in Japan, living what
many would believe to be a dream come true, but I missed something. That something was Anime
Detour. I “took the Detour” and it followed me all the way to Japan. In every town, city, or place I
went there was a picture of me in an Anime Detour t-shirt. When I came back from Japan the first
thing I did was go to a meeting to see what had happened to my favorite convention. To my delight,
it wasn’t a barren wasteland that had been destroyed by Japanese monsters. In fact it was quite the
opposite. I saw all my friends, working hard to create an event that means so much to all of us.
You can help out too. If you’re in between panels think about volunteering. There’s plenty to do.
Head on over to the volunteer room, by the Garden Court, and see what you can do for Detour.
As a bonus you may end up with a really cool wall scroll, or those DVDs you’ve been wanting from
the dealers room. However, it’s not just about the prizes; you’ll be following a long line of previous
members that have truly been a part of this convention and ensured its success. It’s how I got started
here at Detour.
So, if you came here from Michigan, Texas, Japan, or even Minnesota please enjoy Anime Detour
2012. If the Mayans are right, it may be our last. But if they are wrong, I look forward to seeing
you next year for our tenth year anniversary!
Sincerely,
Stephen Gifford, Jr.
Chairman of Anime Detour

Convention Information and Rules
General Conduct Rules
1. All state, federal, and local laws and curfews should be adhered to during the convention.
If something is illegal outside the convention, it is illegal INSIDE the convention.
2. DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED: Anime Detour reserves the right to
revoke membership badges for any reason. Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited
to, things such as: fighting, harassment, damaging or misusing convention/hotel property, stealing,
roughhousing, and causing injury or harm to another or yourself.
3. To reemphasize, NO HARASSMENT WILL BE TOLERATED - SEXUAL OR OTHERWISE: Anime
Detour is an event that promotes the diversity of our community. We accept anyone who comes in
the spirit of good will and participation.
4. Convention members are to follow instructions given by Anime Detour staff members. If a
staff member asks you to stop doing something, please stop doing it immediately or security will
be notified. If you are asked to move, please move out of the way.
5. If you bring something to the attention of staff, it should be something that involves physical injury,
property damage, theft, or a violation of one of the other rules. Personality conflicts and private
troubles will not be with dealt with by convention staff, unless it becomes disruptive to other members.
6. NO SLEEPING IN HALLWAYS OR CONVENTION SPACES: If you want to sleep, you will need
to make arrangements beforehand. No exceptions, we will wake you up and ask you to move.
7. NO UNDERAGE DRINKING! If you are serving alcohol in your room you MUST card! If we
catch you serving alcohol or other illegal items to minors, or if you are a minor and are caught
drinking, your badge will be pulled and the Bloomington Police will be involved.
8. NO CLOGGING UP THE HALLWAYS! We have small hallways in the DoubleTree, and they get
even smaller when you stop to chat with your friends. Please move to an out of the way area to have
your conversation. This also pertains to people posing for cosplay photos. Please move out of the
flow of traffic when posing for photographs. An area for photoshoots will be made available in the
Garden Court. Security will be circulating in an attempt to keep hallways relatively passable. Continual
violations and repeat behavior will force us to pull your badge as per order of the Fire Marshal.
9. Please pick up after yourself. Please give the hotel housekeeping staff a break by picking up
after yourself and others. Treat the hotel staff and property with respect.
10. NOISE: Please keep it down during the late night hours. Your fellow convention members are
trying to sleep.
11. LOST AND FOUND: All lost items should be taken to Operations (Room 215). If you have lost
an item, report to Operations to see if it has been found.
12. BADGES: Badges MUST be visible at all times. Anyone found without a badge in the
convention area will be handed over to security. Registration is important; it ensures that we are
able to stage this convention and helps ensure a fun and safe environment for all our members.
13. Please respect the badgers, and show them your badges when they ask. The badgers are
volunteers who are helping make the convention better. If we catch you hassling the badgers, we
will pull your badge and escort you out of the convention.
14. ENFORCEMENT: If you observe another convention attendee breaking the rules and/or if
another convention member is creating a disturbance, please report this occurrence to a nearby
security member or Operations (Room 215) .
15. EMERGENCIES: In the event of a medical emergency, please contact convention or hotel staff
for assistance or dial 911.
CONVENTION RULES

Weapons Policy
Cosplay guns must be clear facsimiles and be holstered or at your side when you are not posing
for pictures. Weapons must be tied, or peace-bonded, at all times. For peace-bonding questions
and materials, please visit Operations or consult with cosplay staff.
Anime Detour does not allow guns and other projectile weapons on the premises. Projectiles include,
but are not limited to: bullets, pellets, water, lasers, and paintballs. If it has a firing mechanism, it is
not allowed (Exception: bows are allowed, as long as you have NO arrows or similar ammunition.)
Projectile weapons that have had their firing mechanism altered/removed are also not allowed.
Use common sense; respect your fellow attendees.
Items that are confiscated by security might not be returned to you.
Live steel should be left in the sheath (or scabbard) and peace bonded at all times.
No fighting! This includes sparring and play fighting.
Hotel
The most simple rule is this: Don’t break the hotel. These nice people are kind enough to host us
this weekend and it would be rude of us to damage anything. If you need something from the
hotel, contact the front desk by dialing “0” from your room phone. If you have a problem or need
help with a hotel issue, go to Operations (room 215) and tell them you need the hotel department.
Anime Detour’s hotel department is available 24 hours, helping Detour’s staff, members, and the
hotel all have a smooth weekend.
SLEEPING IN PUBLIC AREAS: Sleeping in public areas of the hotel (including the video and
programming rooms) is prohibited. If you are found sleeping you will be asked to go to your
hotel room to sleep. If you do not have a room, please either stay awake or go home.
SMOKING: By hotel policy, smoking is prohibited in all of the official spaces Anime Detour
inhabits, including all of the party rooms and sleeping rooms. Smoking is not permitted within 25
feet of any entrance, exit, open window, or ventilation intake.
SIGNS: You may post non-adhesive signs with beige masking tape on painted or wallpapered
walls, tile, and metal in approved areas. The removal of any other type of adhesive is damaging
and will be treated as vandalism by the hotel. If signs are posted using any other kind of tape,
they will be removed and taken to Operations. The rules about where we can put up flyers are
driven by the hotel and are sometimes tweaked from year to year. If you have any questions
about where it is and isn’t OK to place your flyers, please stop into Operations and ask.
PETS: No animals except working animals. If there are special circumstances speak with
operations for possible permissions.
SOLICITATION: No sales are permitted outside of the Dealers Room and Artists Alley.
ROOM REQUESTS: If you have a problem with your reservation or room that the hotel is unable
to correct, please visit Operations and ask to speak with our hotel team. They will listen to your
problem and advise on what the next steps could be.
PARKING INFORMATION: Although there is a significant amount of parking at the DoubleTree,
parking is still limited. Please carpool or use mass transit if possible. If you are staying at a hotel
near the DoubleTree, please leave your car at your hotel and walk over to the convention. Please
leave parking nearest the DoubleTree for disabled, hotel guests, and convention dealers. Please
remember that hotel guests NEED to be able to park their cars.
MASS TRANSIT OPTIONS: The 540 bus stops just outside the DoubleTree and connects to the
Mall of America where you can connect with busses to all parts of the metro area as well as the
light rail. Most convention activities take place between 9:00am and midnight, so using the bus is
a realistic and inexpensive option.

Operations
Welcome to Anime Detour, dear con-goers! You may be filled with
questions, concerns, or just plain curiosities - both in the convention at large,
and the operations department itself. Operations is here to fulfill many of
your con-going needs: Questions about programming or locations, first aid
supplies, general convention information, etc. We are here to oblige you in
these regards! Please feel free to stop by Room 215 on the second floor
and pick our brains for what you seek (please, no zombies)!
Volunteers
Thanks to all of our volunteers for making Anime Detour happen.
Without you we wouldn’t be here and it’s not too late to join in on the
fun and help out. You’ll find us in room 101 manically plotting ways
to find more consuite badgers. So if you’re curious about how Detour
is run, want to give back or find yourself with a few free hours and
nothing to do we’re not opposed to bribing you with candy and
prizes to do our bidding.

Consuite
Come one, come all! Grab a snack to keep you going until you can get
a real meal without missing all the fabulous fun of the con. We’re on the
lower level by the pool entrance. We have hot rice and cold pop, peanut
butter and jelly, chips, sweets, and even some fresh fruit. If you’re nice and
your timing is right we may even have ramen.
Remember, the consuite is a snack room. Make sure you grab a real meal
or two each day. The hotel will have some great deals going on hot, filling
food and you won’t even have to step outside. If you do want a break,
step across the parking lot and you’ll find some old favorites.
Keep in mind, lots of people will be coming through. Stay and relax as you eat if you’d like and
then move on. Someone else needs a spot to stop awhile and eat too. If you want to hang out
longer volunteer and earn cool goodies!
Speaking of volunteering – did you know that if you volunteer you can get into a special consuite?
That’s right! Vol-Con has meat and cheese sandwiches, breakfast in the morning, and a greater
variety of snacks and foods. So go see the folks at volunteers for more info and fuel up for the
con. And always remember to help keep consuite clean by picking up your trash.

10 COSPLAY CONTEST
Cosplay Photoshoots
Who doesn’t love having their picture taken in costume? We are here to help you do just that.
From scheduling photoshoots to running around with cameras we help document the con and your
costume for Anime Detour. All photos we take will be posted to on the Anime Detour Flickr account
after the convention. The southwest corner of the Garden Court will be available for photoshoots
and there will again be a photo studio in Stevie Ray’s. Please see the sign outside Stevie Ray’s
for times and photographers.
Due to the overwhelming demand and limited space for photoshoots the space will be split for
two groups at a time. Two locations within the southwest corner of the Garden Court are listed to
differentiate between the groups. There should be a larger group and a smaller group scheduled
together so as not to have too many people there at a time.

Guests of Honor
Shinichi Watanabe “Nabeshin” is known to anime fans as a larger-
than-life, iconic figure with an outrageous sense of humor. He has directed comedy anime
series such as Excel Saga, Nerima Daikon Brothers, and Puni Puni Poemy, all of which
feature frenetic pacing and appearances by his animated alter ego, a mysterious, recurring
character with an afro and distinctive outfit who is tangential to the story. Nabeshin has also
served as series director for The Wallflower and Tenchi Muyo! GXP, and he can be found
in these series as well, in cameo or supporting roles. Nabeshin has been quoted as saying that he places
great importance in making viewers laugh. Stating that he values laughter as much as tears, his preference is
to motivate viewers to have fun and enjoy a show. He reasons that his success stems from provoking the same,
strong emotional investment—in a humorous way—as a traditional, sentimental story does. Nabeshin has also
written lyrics for the opening songs of Excel Saga and Tenchi Muyo! GXP, and has served as storyboarder and
episode director for a variety of other anime series.
Christopher Ayres
has been working professionally in theatre, television, and
film since the age of six. He currently works as a voice actor for FUNimation Entertainment
and a voice actor and director for Sentai Filmworks. As an ADR director, his credits include:
EF~A Tale of Memories, EF~A Tale of Melodies, Night Raid 1931, The Nerima Daikon
Brothers, Xenosaga: The Animation, Magikano, and The Wallflower. As a voice actor, Chris
is best known for his roles as Kei Kurono in Gants, Frieza in Dragon Ball Z Kai, Arthur in
Tears to Tiara, Suitengu in Speed Grapher, The Covenant Commander in Halo: Legends, Prince Soma in Black
Butler, Yaminami in Peacemaker, Takada Shingin in Sengoku Basara, and Sid in Devil May Cry. He can also be
heard as Wagram in the Square-Enix video game The Last Remnant. Chris also works as a professional fight
director and has enjoyed bringing his workshop “Mock Combat for Cosplay” to many conventions. You can
learn more about Chris by visiting his website www.christopherayres-va.com.
Greg Ayres
can usually be found rockin’ out somewhere, whether animated or
not. From the loud-mouthed Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers, to Koyuki in Beck, he’s
always glad to shake things up a bit. He’s thrilled to be able to add the roles of Uesugi
Kenshin in Sengoku Basara, Seikechi Tayama in Oh! Edo Rocket, and Abe in Big Windup
to his list of roles. When he’s not in a booth with headphones on, you can usually find him
sporting headphones of another variety behind “the decks”. From packed rooms at anime
conventions to the legendary stage of The Knitting Factory (NYC), Greg never misses an opportunity to share
his love of music with anyone who will listen. Greg is thrilled to be back at Anime Detour this year, and really
looks forward to seeing you on the dance floor.

Studio O.N.Y.
started out in 2004 as a married couple doing artist alley tables
at conventions in the midwest. Richard and Shannon Townsend had worked as freelancers
with several companies, most notably with A2 press on the Tabletop RPG Book “Teenagers
from Outer Space: The Landing”. During their time as a small art studio, one young fan
had asked them to turn their original characters into a weekly web comic. It was from this pleading that their
weekly web comic “Otaku -no- Yen” (geeks without money) was born. In early 2010, the studio brought on
long time friend and artist Kimberly Pridemore as a collaborative member. Now that the studio has upgraded,
the trio have begun work on a bold new comic project to be released in 2012 among other comics in the
works from all members.
