New York Anime Festival This Weekend

September 23, 2009

The yearly New York Anime Festival starts this Friday, September 25, in Manhattan. The show runs through September 27. According to its website the festival “features exclusive and extensive anime screenings, guests from America and Japan, manga, cosplay, video games, live-action Japanese cinema, fashion, food, and the cultural treasures that gave birth to Japanese pop culture.” So, basically there’s something for everyone there.

But, if that’s not enough to tempt you to the Big Apple this weekend, one of the festival’s guest of honor is Yoshiyuki Tomino who worked on Astro Boy—AWESOME!

Check out Jen’s piece on Vintage Manga—there’s a link to review some vintage Astro Boy.
