The Hardest Part of Anime NYC? Choosing What NOT to Miss
Usally when I go to conventions there’s at least one day where I spend the entire day in panel rooms. In the days of Liberty city it was because I was a panelist But, theses days it‘s as a member of the press.
Usally when I go to conventions there’s at least one day where I spend the entire day in panel rooms. In the days of Liberty city it was because I was a panelist But, theses days it‘s as a member of the press. this year Day three was the day I devoted to siting in everything from screenings to an 18+ panel featuring eromanga artist Shiwasu no Okina. It’s not everyday you get to watch pro manga artists draw so, if you get that chance, take it.
At the screenings there crunchyroll wasn’t letting you forget who was making it all happen. There was even a hype section led by two MCs Who were really up beat. This is how it goes every year. The highlight of the two back to back screenings was by far ”Senesced to be a hero” witch in addition to being drop dead gorgeous looks interesting and holds your attention for the entirety of its 45 minute first episode.

If I had a second pick of the screenings it would be Hana Kimi an adaptation of a Shojo manga from 1996. It’s just good cross dressing reverse herem fun.

There are some hard choices to be made with where you spend your time or. As Mike Toole responded to me over on Bluesky “A good convention is full of awful , impossible choices” If you planing on diving into panels you should use the app it’s an excellent scheduling tool.
While these conventions are packed every year I get the sense that there are a lot of people who aren’t going to a lot of panel. I think you should, it enriches your experience with the anime you love and makes everything feel less like “content“ and, it’s a way to connect to the actual- people in the industry
