The Chibi Project - Misty vs. Blendtec Blender
This is the blender test to end all blender tests! To celebrate 10 years of Anime Boston experiments, we ramped it up, got "misty" eyed, and asked ourselves, "Will it blend?"
The Chibi Project - Bootlegs vs. Bonfire
When our theme composer decided to burn his law school notes, we took this as an opportunity to finally burn those bootlegs!
The Chibi Project - Serenity and Beryl vs. Potato Cannon
Rather than shooting at Sailor Moon characters with a potato cannon, this time we shot them OUT OF a potato cannon. Can Princess Serenity and Queen Beryl hit the broad side of a barn?
The Chibi Project - Kuronekosama vs John Deere 312
PatrickD and Jekka let the cat out of the bag and will mow you over in the season 2 premiere of The Chibi Project. Trigun's Kuronekosama has previously escaped the wrath of Hurricane Dennis, but has its luck run out as it goes up against a tractor?
The Chibi Project - Love Hina vs Orbit Sander
Some Love Hina figures were dressed up for the beach, so we supplied the sand...by way of an orbital sander...live at Anime Boston 2010. We also answer some questions from the audience.
The Chibi Project - Kuroneko / Hurricane Dennis
After hurricanes began ramming up against one of The Chibi Project's team members on a regular basis in 2004, The Chibi Project staff began to discuss subjecting Chibi Moon to a hurricane test. Unfortunately, the short notice on which most hurricanes arrive made it difficult to mail the Chibi Moon figure in time. Ultimately, we decided to improvise with another figure.\n\nSix hours before Hurricane Dennis was expected to make landfall, we found a Kuroneko figurine. Kuroneko, the annoying "Where's Waldo" character from Trigun, seemed like a perfect test subject. Let's face it -- who hasn't wanted to punt a cat at some point in their lives? So, armed with duct tape, we went outside and strapped the bastard to a tree branch.\n\nA few hours later, Hurricane Dennis began pummeling the yard with 110 MPH winds and driving rain. Branches, fence parts, and small rodents were also airborne during this time.\n\nBy nightfall, the hurricane had died down to the level of a "normal" rainstorm. We ventured outside to discover that while some duct tape had survived, Kuroneko was long gone. Searches of the neighborhood -- conducted with the help of the children living nearby -- yielded no sign of the cat.
The Chibi Project - Ken-ohki vs Blender
In 2005, we were defeated when a toy actually broke the blender. Back at Anime Boston with a better blender and a softer toy, we're out for revenge! This episode is also the first time four Chibi Project scientists have assembled together.
The Chibi Project - Derek Jeter vs. The Autograph Bat
There's no better experiment to conduct at Anime Boston, within sight of Fenway Park, than smack Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter with a bat signed by the convention's 2003 guests of honor.
The Chibi Project - Finale (Part 2)
Our Anime Boston 2016 panel, which was our last Chibi Project panel ever, featured an extensive Q&A which is featured (and expanded upon with clips) in the long-awaited second half to this final episode.\n\nLearn more about The Chibi Project at http://chibiproject.com/
The Chibi Project - Beyblade Beystadium
What genius came up with the idea of a show about spinning tops that fight? It's a pretty stupid concept if you ask us. We decided it was time for revenge, powered up the tops, and let it rip.\n\nWe took a Dremel and a Craftsman Rotary Tool and used them to make Beyblade tops spin much faster than they're every supposed to spin. Once that becomes boring, we take a hole cutter and make the whole stadium spin.
The Chibi Project - Turn A Gundam vs Grater
You've seen it on TV! It's great for grating cheese, vegetables, fruit, Gundams... Wait, Gundams? Yes, we gave Turn A Gundam a turn in a grater and chopped him to bits. Did it work? Watch and find out!
The Chibi Project - Bootlegs / Jigsaw
For several months, we've been taking anime bootlegs and fansubs off of people's hands with the promise of destroying them. That time has come.\n\nAt Bakuretsu Con 2008, PatrickD used a Black & Decker Varible Speed Jigsaw to cut his way through a handful of bootleg DVDs in front of a live audience. The remaining DVDs as well as the pieces of the destroyed DVDs and all the packaging will eventually be destroyed by fire so that nothing remains.\n\nDestroyed bootleg DVDs include Cowboy Bebop, Chobits, InuYasha, and Candidate for Goddess.\n\nEventually, we will tackle VHS tapes as well.\n\nFollowing the destruction, everyone present was invited to have some cake to celebrate our 20th episode.\n\nGreg Ayres, a voice actor known for speaking out against bootlegs and fansubs, agreed to discuss the issue in the intro for this episode. When you buy a bootleg or download a fansub, no money is going back to support the creators. As a result of the massive number of people downloading fansubs and never buying the DVDs, the anime industry is hurting. Please, do your part and buy your anime legally through reputable retailers. Thank you.
The Chibi Project - Burning Gundam
With 15 experiments on Chibi Moon completed, The Chibi Project has moved on to conducting tests on other anime toys. The first subject of our experiments? Burning Gundam. With a name like that, he was just asking for it! Also, we feature our first review and answer some fan mail.
The Chibi Project - Anime Body Pillow vs. Thermite
Jekka attempts to destroy an anime body pillow, toy mushrooms, and a Warcraft night elf using thermite.\n\nLearn more about The Chibi Project at http://chibiproject.com/
The Chibi Project - Finale (Part 1)
After more than 17 years of experiments, The Chibi Project is coming to a close. Share in the emotional final episode as recorded live at Anime Boston 2016.\n\nLearn more about The Chibi Project at http://chibiproject.com/
The Chibi Project - Sailor Venus / Gross Potato
In episode 4, we stuck Sailor Venus in a potato cannon. After we blew her head off, we called it a day and packed up. Sailor Venus was put in a bag with a leftover potato and brought home...where we forgot about her for NINE MONTHS!\n\nAfter discovering flies in the kitchen, we found the source: a rotting potato and Sailor Venus! The bag was immediately brought outside in the darkness and the horror was recorded using the nightshot mode. Sailor Venus was hosed off and cleaned up, except for the remaining maggots inside her head.\n\nWe're clearly bitter about not even being nominated for a Webby Award, but through a bit of bribing (and stealing of pants), we finally managed to get one of our own. Sure we didn't earn it, but it's ours! HA HA HA! Maybe this will get them to notice us for next year.\n\nWe talk about our upcoming appearances at PortConMaine, ConnectiCon, and San Japan. We also answer some e-mails and pimp our new DVDs!
The Chibi Project - Megaman / Blending / Firearms
This all started at Anime Boston 2005 where Megaman was put into a blender. We attempted to chop him into bits, but he was just too tough for the blender. We ended up destroying the blender instead. This was the first failed experiment in the history of The Chibi Project.\n\nWanting to get our revenge, we handed Megaman over to our friend Buford. Buford likes firearms and has quite a collection. He brought Megaman out to the firing range along with a Kimber Stainless 1911 (semi-auto pistol, .45 ACP), Yugoslavian military M59/66 SKS (semi-auto rifle, 7.62x39mm Soviet), Remington 870 Express Magnum with 26" barrel and imp. cyl. choke (pump shotgun, 12 gauge), Winchester "white box" .45 ACP FMJ target ammo, Wolf 7.62x39mm Soviet FMJ ammo, Remington Express Magnum 12 gauge 00 buckshot shells, and Federal Hi-Power #6 shotshell.\n\nMegaman didn't stand a chance. Working his way up through his arsenal, he took out Megaman's head, arms, and legs. All that remained by the end were tiny pieces. Megaman is no more.
The Chibi Project - Beyblade vs. Slap Chop
PatrickD and Jekka crush Beyblade in a Slap Chop and then take a soldering iron to the survivors. Recorded live at Anime Boston 2013.\n\nLearn more about The Chibi Project at http://chibiproject.com/
The Chibi Project - Grillin' Menchi
A few years back, ADV Films started selling a plush toy of Menchi from Excel Saga that came shrinkwrapped to a charcoal grill. It was an in-joke that referenced Menchi being the "emergency food supply" in the show. Of course, when we got our hands on one, what else would we do with it but actually grill Menchi?
The Chibi Project - Groot vs. Dremel
Shortly after PatrickD's own custom Dancing Baby Groot went viral, a company started selling an officially licensed version. It looks gross, is too small, and he doesn't even say, "I am Groot." It's time to chop some wood.\n\nLearn more about The Chibi Project at http://chibiproject.com/
