His work on YuGiOh expanded the franchise significantly to broaden the brand into cardgames and animation. With Vanguard Itou has thoughtfully created a fresh and modern adventure story that renders and realizes the heavy fantasy elements of the Vanguard game like only comics can.
Heavy Marketing and Cross-Promotion Expected: Vanguard today has regular weekly viewership on YouTube of around 60000, with early episodes having more than 700,000 views since May 2012. The Vanguard trading cards are currently available in more than 3000 comic shops and game stores across the US, with thousands more across the globe. Weekly tournaments are held in 500 venues across the US. Vertical will be working with Vanguard producers BushiRoad to stream the anime and do cross-promotion at comic events across the US.**Marketing:**BushiRoad the creators of VANGUARD are currently doing advertising online, in print and on billboards across the US, Canada and SouthEast Asia.

Publicity: The seventh season of the Vanguard animated TV series debuted 2014. New episodes are planned through May 2015. The series is currently hosted on its own YouTube channel. The animated series is averaging around 80,000 views per episode.
