New York Anime Festival: A Photographic Tour
Editor’s Note: My deepest thanks to Christian Liendo to taking some amazing photographs of New York Anime Festival.
Shown above is illustrator Eric Maruscak working on an amazing Soul Eater themed chalk drawing. What follows is a photo essay of what it was like to walk around the convention floor which was packed:
Kimonos (着物) from KimonoLily.
Be a J-pop DJ for only $5 for five minutes!
Spokesmodels for the upcoming videogame Fairytale Fights.
Toys, toys and oh yes toys!
No these are not toys…
Jedi training in the hallways.
Coming face-to-face with the artists at artist’s alley.
Vintage videogame hardware including a Sega Saturn.
A Halo statue.
Toy startup MyTagDog.com pushing their puppies.
Every where you looked there were amazing anime art books.
The manga reading room was filled with manga readers.
Cosplay pals just relaxing…
