A party and lounge unlike any other and I seriously mean that….
One of the new formats I'm going to introduce to Region 99 will be my “One Question…” series. Here, I go to a particular convention with one question and don't leave until I have it answered. This month, I attended PAX unplugged, which focused on table top gaming and my “One Question” was this: How, in 2018, are tabletop games not only as popular as ever, but seemingly the most popular they have ever been?
So, it’s the holiday season and if you’re still looking for gifts for the kids or possibly yourself, hopefully my nostalgic reflection of NYCC 2018 will help you. Comic Con NYC 2018 was amazing as multiple figures, video games, cosplay and a sneak peak of the New Dragonball Super: Broly movie were in present for viewing and playing pleasure. As you read, hopefully this will either help in your gifting choices, movie choices, or just persuade you to save up and plan for next year’s NYCC 2019 as a gift for yourself!!!
I have to say…that this con is definitely growing. With an estimated 36,000 in attendance for the 2nd year of operation, AnimeNYC 2018 is not only setting the standard for anime and manga conventions in NYC, its also saying that fans are willing to brave the cold and snow to still attend and support an event filled with up anime, manga, and awesome swag…This con is truly Indestructible!!!
Anime NYC 2018 was awesome and even though I only went for one day I definitely got my money’s worth…
Once more I go into New York City, this time for an anime specific convention, one that I’d never been to before – AnimeNYC. The convention’s only in its second year, but after the weekend I had, I hope it continues on for many more. Let’s not mince any more words and get down to how things went, day by day.
Armed with my industry pass, honey roasted cashews, a couple of Cliff Bars, and a few bottles of water; I navigated the last two days of the con as a fan and applied 67, 912 steps to see the beauty and wonderful artwork of the creatives. Although, I wasn’t able to see everything, what makes NYCC so stupendous is that you can never see it all…
I have one convention that I go to without fail, and that is New York Comic Con, otherwise known as NYCC. This year, I went bigger than I ever have, going Friday, Saturday AND Sunday to the convention. Aditionally, 2018 was also a landmark year in that it brought with it the return of Anime Fest. With so much to say, I’m here to tell you what it was like; the good, the bad and the geeky!!!
So….. Reed Pop’s 2018 New York Comic Con (NYCC) has started and your humble author has decided to do something different this year, rather than write about the pros and cons of the event by placing a critical eye on the 4-day weekend, I decided to go back to my roots as a Fan and enjoy the experience NYCC gave to me when it was my first time attending.
