Anime NYC is an annual three-day anime convention held during November at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.[5][6]

Programming

The convention typically offers arcade games, an artist alley, concerts, manga library (Carolina Manga Library), masquerade, panels, screenings, vendors, and video and card games.[7][8][9] Anime NYC offered 100 hours of programming in 2017.[2][10]

History

Greg Topalian, former senior vice president of Reed Exhibitions,[11] founded New York Comic Con in 2006.[1] After stepping down from that post, he became president of LeftField Media in 2014, the organizer of Anime NYC which also runs Washington DC's Awesome Con.[12][13] New York was chosen for the event due to its lack of a large anime convention.[14] The first Anime NYC took over a year to plan and used two halls in the convention center.[2][6] In the convention's first year, they did not use the amount of space used by New York Comic Con.[9][15] New York City declared an Anime NYC Weekend for the 2017 convention.[15] Anime NYC added more floor space in 2018, with additional expansion planned in 2019.[7] The convention also hosted Anisong World Matsuri at the Hammerstein Ballroom.[14]

In 2019, Anime NYC used all of the Javits main event space.[16] Artists alley was moved into the dealer's hall, which was doubled in size.[17] New York City Councilmen Ben Kallos and Kanji Yamanouchi, Japan's UN representative both attended the event.[18] Anime NYC 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19][20] A virtual event was held in its place.[21]

Anime NYC returned to an in-person event in 2021; proof of COVID-19 vaccination was required to attend and face coverings were mandatory, but the convention did allow those who were partially-vaccinated (including those who had only recently received their first dose of a two-dose vaccine; studies have indicated that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines do not reach their full effectiveness until at least 14 days after the second dose),[22][23] in accordance with New York City’s “Key to NYC” vaccination requirements.[24] The convention was also reported to have issues with crowding.[25][26] On December 2, 2021, health officials stated that an attendee of the convention was a carrier of Omicron variant, and Governor Kathy Hochul urged all attendees to be tested for COVID-19.[27]
