No Brand Con, besides being an amazing anime convention, is also home to the No Brand Heroes and their adventures. While these stories usually just play out at Opening Ceremonies and the Cosplay contest, since this year’s story was told exclusively through short films shown at these events, we’ve decided to put this year’s story online afterwards — so everyone who missed it can catch up!
The video embedded is the version that played at the Cosplay Contest, which contains all of the segments. Keep that context in mind though when title cards like “yesterday” and “today” pop up on screen.
Enjoy the Return of the Return of BrandCorp!
We thought we’d share a quick history of the No Brand Heroes’ interactions with the evil BrandCorp via a news footage montage. Why are we sharing this? No reason. It couldn’t possibly be relevant to this year’s convention theme or story. We don’t know what you’re talking about.
Our beloved mascots, discount superhero team the No Brand Heroes, will return at this year’s convention. To make sure you’re up to date on their exploits (and who they are), we’ve put together this brief, two minute video to catch you up on the important points!
The No Brand Heroes continue on their quest to find the missing Duct Tape Boy. Hoping that Cardboard Commando might know of his whereabouts, the Gardening Ninja, Magical Girl Girl, Greenboy, and (apparently) Yarn have arrived at his last known location.
Things… things don’t go well.
(If you haven’t watched Part One or Part Two, you should do that first)
The adventure continues for the No Brand Heroes. They’re off to find their missing teammate, but challenges may get in their way as they continue on their journey. Will they be able to move forward, or will they end up tangled in a Yarn-y situation? Watch and find out!
(And if you haven’t seen part one yet, watch that first!)
The No Brand Heroes are back for 2018! A team member returns from far away, and discovers another one is missing. Will the heroes answer the call to find their displaced comrade, or will Greenboy and Magical Girl Girl just play more tabletop roleplaying games? I mean, it’s pretty even odds with this group.
In any case, the adventure begins here!
The Gardening Ninja is here to bring you an important message for this Christmas season! Mostly it’s just that a No Brand Con Preregistration makes a fantastic Christmas gift for those of you doing last minute shopping!
So this week we’ve talked about Duct Tape Boy and Greenboy, so it’s about time we got to another well known member of the No Brand Heroes – the Gardening Ninja. While a “vital” member of the team (at least according to him), it’s rare to see him voluntarily go out on a mission.
And when you think about it, he’s actually kind of useless.
But considering he’s also considered the current “leader” of the No Brand Heroes, it would be weird not to talk about him. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the history of the Gardening Ninja, how he joined the group, how he rose through the ranks, and how none of it made any bit of difference.
