I mean Goku made it to Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade (not counting Pikachu since that was long time ago), so why not add any other Anime character to join the parade with him?

Anime NYC 2018 was brought to you by:

- Danganronpa cosplayers (kid you not, there was a LOT of them including a meetup)
- Tempting Artist Alley
- Security Checks (I mean, there were too many passing points whereas it can only be done in just the front entrance. Have they learned from this since the first year?)
- Etika (JOYCON BOYS LOL)
- No Beatmania IIDX (I guess it was too hard for most people, but that is surely a diss)
- MORE FEATURES INCLUDING STICK-LITE DANCING
- More attendances than last year
- Peeps mentioning “The Tragedy” called AnimeFest (hehe)
- Sailor Moon Live coming to America (TICKETS WHEN?)
- 7 train running on weekend (thankfully we got that, unlike NYCC)

I felt pretty good being in a real con than last month’s natural disaster.

Haven’t been posting often as I used to, but man…where do we start?

I’m sure you have went to the Anime Fest @ NYCC which was supposed to be a part of Anime Expo. At first I thought this side con was going to be the biggest, most awful, most tragic moment in convention history as a dud turned out to be a fair and balanced convention. 

One of the highlights that caught my attention was the schoolyard (LMAO). The Schoolyard section turned out to be a joke, but I’m glad that it was no DashCon as many people occupied themselves on the fake grass. Plus, they had activities going on from playing group games to doing yoga. 

The panels for Anime Fest NYC were really lacking. While some stood out, others didn’t gain enough for audience attention. One panel showing a screening for Goblin Slayer wasn’t moderated as the show was intended for mature audiences, there were minors at the panel. Why didn’t they check people’s ID for this? And second of all (I want to watch this since its good for the first episode) the screening was in the afternoon. Yeah, what a problem indeed.

However, I know that Funimation had two panels and it did brought in crowds. It’s a saving grace for this con, but everything else was a hit or a miss.

The Cosplay Meetups were a drag. Barely any cosplayer would show up, being the exception of My Hero Academia. Majority of cosplayers would be back at Javits. While here at Pier 94, it was a total drag and there was barely any cosplayer showing up for the meetups.

I heard that some people had a hard time getting to this convention as its location was twenty blocks from the Javits Center (Pier 94). I read that one individual had to walk up from Javits just to get to Anime Fest whereas some people are mislead on information to board on a shuttle bus to get there too. I didn’t take the shuttle because I did not go to NYCC this year (I’ll give a reason).

Can I tell you how funny it was that there was no service in the ATMs at Pier 94? At Javits, there’s a row of ATM’s where you can withdraw cash. Here, there’s barely any as there was only two machines that are completely out of service lol

Artist Alley was still a great alley. However, a few people critique the alley as lacking compared to the Artists in NYCC. I wish that people should give these artists the respect that they deserve. These are the people that are fans that made these works and they put in time and effort on their masterpieces. I threw in money for at least three artists that stood out for me. 

AnimeFest @ NYCC consists of 70% Anime content and 30% NYCC related content. The booths that you know of from VIZ, Kodansha, Funimation, Aniplex, Cruncyroll and other major names were all at Javits. Same goes for video game companies as Square Enix and Bandai Namco had demos for upcoming titles. It would be really nice that they should’ve made a mini booth for others to enjoy at Anime Fest. Too bad ReedPop did not thought of that sooner. 

Despite all this, I had a fun time at AnimeFest over the weekend. While Cosplayers made the best effort on putting themselves out there, to the fun activities that are provided, this was a space that really needed improvement. I am sure that they’re taking their jealously over AnimeNYC, but hell, I am not paying $200 for four badges to be at New York Comic Con. Once you bring back three/four day badges, then we’ll talk. 

AnimeNYC, here we come!

Aight so BOOM.

Is the new “Higurashi” something more than a reboot?

Amazon Prime Japan’s listing for the new “Higurashi” anime had titled episode one as “鬼騙し編”, or “Onidamashi-hen” (meaning “Deceived by Demons”), rather than “鬼隠し編” (“Onikakushi-hen”),which hints to the possibility of this new series being more than just a reboot/remake.

Earlier in the day, the characters were removed from both the title ひぐらしのなく頃に業(“Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou”), and the episode, as per a mistake on Amazon’s part. Ano, @in_earthbound on Twitter, has posted the screenshots before said wipe.

Furthermore, in this interview with Ryukishi and series director Kawaguchi from October 4th, Ryukishi had been hyping up this next episode, with “you’ll start to see what the new Higurashi: When They Cry is all about.”

“We’d been casually talking about how great it’d be to see a remake of the anime, and I’d mentioned if that ever became a reality, I’d totally write another script for it immediately. And what I ended up with looked like a phone book,” Ryukishi says, back when the team wasn’t sure if their wishes would come to be.

“With episode one, this is a new Higurashi: When They Cry done with a new staff with a new world view, so I hope you enjoyed that. But starting with episode two, you’ll start to see the little things here and there that I mentioned before. So I hope you all, er… I really can’t say anything right now,” as he laughs with frustration, continuing with “things are finally going to start moving with the next episode, so I hope you watch carefully from episode two on.”

Episode two premieres on the same channels/services from last week. Don’t miss it!
