not sure, I originally though it might be a novelization of the special
but it says "Shonen Sunday Comics Special" on it, so it may be something
like an Ani-manga where they have taken panels from the episode and chopped
them up to make a manga out of it and then added word bubbles over the images

I'm not really sure yet.

Reveal 10 was new CDs for the new opening "Hane" by B'z and the closing by La Pom Pon
--Additionally there was a page with a recap of the first 9 reveals

Reveal 11 was an official Conan App, not sure all what comes on it
--Additionally there was a page with more info on the Kabuki special
--with images of some of the characters and more

After 11 surprises we haven't had many things that most people will actually care about, have we...

Well, most of these things are pretty useless to us fans outside of Japan, so that's only natural I think. Dunno how much the domestic fans like it.

90% of these are going to be either merch or special events or locations to visit. There isn't really much else they can reveal unless there are more specials on the way, or maybe OVAs or something. I'm kind of surprised they didn't start earlier and make Movie 19 DVD and Bluray as one of them.

Movie 20 (Reveal 3, 6, 7), Real D Game #4 (Reveal 8), and the CDs (Reveal 10) were things that we would have gotten anyway so it feels kind of pointless for them to have included them in to the list. I guess they had difficulty coming up with 20 ? I expect the last 3-4 of them to be pure merch, like simple keychains or something.

*sigh* I get an EVVK -feeling.


EVVK = Ei vois vähempää kiinnostaa (trans. I couldn't care less. So would this actually be ICCL-feeling then?)

What a waste. Unless they come with the creditless versions I don't see how this is much of a surprise.
