In a world devastated by war, elite lawmen called enforcers are all that stand between those trying to rebuild and those who have turned to lawlessness to survive. Featuring a rich, evolving mythology and internationally acclaimed music from such Japanese animated series and video games as Final Fantasy, Noir, Mega Man, and more, Hideo presents a world at a crossroads, where music always tells a story and — despite everything — hope survives.

Picking up where the AOD 2012 performance — Hideo: Overture — left off, Team Hideo presents Hideo: Counterpoint. Where is The Shiny Mug's bartender, Rebecca? Will Mari, the new bouncer, find her brother? What ever happened to Hideo? Find out to a soundtrack of live music from Trigun, Darker Than Black, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, to name a few of the series featured in this year's show. A meet-and-greet follows the show!
