Detective Conan Goes Big on 3D Billboard to Advertise 26th Anime Film
Detective Conan is going back to the movies this week in his 26th anime film, Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine. To celebrate, the pint-sized detective is taking over UMEDA BS3D VISION for a personal greeting!
UMEDA BS3D VISION is a unique video billboard that went live this past January. In addition to more standard advertisements, the billboard—which is about a one-minute walk from Osaka-Umeda Station—runs 3D videos and trailers. Commuters can catch its mascot, Udon-chan, several times throughout the day.
Starting today, though, Conan Edogawa (in mascot costume form) will be popping in to say hello to everyone in Umeda and advertise his new film. After his greeting, pedestrians can stick around to watch clips from the upcoming film. At the end of the short, we also get a reminder that Volume 103 of Gosho Aoyama‘s original manga is also coming out.
Have a look at one of the spots:
