Media Report: YuGiOh 3D: Bonds Beyond Time Premiere

The first thing one sees when entering the building past the first set of doors.

After entering the building through the doors, one encounters the red carpet and the sign in table. Yes, the event was invites only.

Up close and personal with the “Attendees Sign-In Table.” It had the same signs that were posted on the doors attached to the table cloth. Basically, I had to give them my name and who I was representing. I received a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's manga sampler that came with the Malefic Red-Eyes B. Dragon, a ticket for one free small popcorn and drink, and those tape bracelet that let people know you are officially attending the event.

One of the raffle prizes that was on the sign in table. It looks heavy, but it was really light. I tested the weight out before entering the raffle.

Look who came to premiere! Left to right: Dan Green, the voice of Yugi Muto and Yami Yugi; Darren Dunstan, the voice of Pegasus, and Sean Schiemmel, the voice of Paradox. Yes, they stood for most of the hour.

The voice actors interacted and signed autographs on items given to them by the fans. Pictured here, you can see the camera man capturing the moment.

Attendees had a chance to learn and play the Yu-GiOh! Trading Card Games.

A young attendee being interviewed and may others had the opportunity to follow suit.

This is how crowded the event got. It was quiet at 6pm, but it was packed by 6:30pm.

The premiere was in Theatre 7.

My tools of trade during the showing: notepad, pen and 3D glasses. I had to use my cell phone as my light source.(>_<)

Pictured here is a woman, who is part of the event, setting the stage for the premiere. The crowd repeated after the woman and then the movie started.

After the movie ended, this is the mess outside Theatre 7. Man, people definitely used that free popcorn and drink ticket!

Sean Schiemmel is being interviewed about his thoughts on the movie. Others who stayed, also had the opportunity to speak their mind about what they saw.
