This past weekend was the start of a brand new anime convention for the tri-state area, Anime Fan Fest! Run by Otaku USA magazine, Anime Fan Fest takes place at the Garden State Expo center, the same place that AnimeNEXT has been held for the past few years. With AnimeNEXT moving to Atlantic City this year, perhaps AFF might serve as the replacement anime convention for norther NJ. Despite being in its first year, I was surprised to see a decent amount of dealers and artists.

NYCC 2015
It’s hard to believe how fast time flies- but it’s already that time of year, time for the one and only New York Comic Con! This is my sixth year attending NYCC (I’m starting to feel old!) and it still amazes me how much this convention has grown over the years. I remember when you could just walk up to the convention and buy tickets, which is such a huge difference compared to today when the whole convention sells out in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, as the convention continues to grow, the anime content always seems to get less and less each year. For someone who really only cares about Anime & other similar media, NYCC does seem to be getting less and less relevant. But even so, it’s simply a convention that I can’t find myself missing, and I always seem to have a good time regardless.

AnimeNEXT 2015 Cosplay
Over the past three days have been a ton of fun, since this past weekend was AnimeNEXT! This is my second time coming to animenext, and I must say that it was a really fun convention. While it is a smaller con compared to others, animenext definitely has more of a community feel to it. As with any convention, there’s bound to be a ton of cosplay out and about. This particular con is a great place for cosplay due to all the green space around the convention which makes for really great backdrops. This post is basically just a dump of cosplay pics taken over the weekend, starting off with this beautiful Princess Mononoke cosplay!
