3 reasons why you should attend Anime NYC 2024
By Diana Nosa
Anime NYC (powered by Crunchyroll) is just days away, which means now is the perfect time to secure your tickets so that you can attend anytime between Friday, Aug. 23, to Sunday, Aug. 25.
Whether it's your first time attending or your third or fourth, this convention is one that makes you feel right at home with your fellow anime community members. It's also a great place to go if you want to something to do over the weekend that includes seeing cool things and meeting cool people. But above all, it's perfect for you if you want to see all things anime!
Perhaps you need a little more convincing as to whether you should go to Anime NYC this year. If so, here are three reasons that are sure to persuade you to buy that ticket as soon as possible.
Why Anime NYC is the best meetup for anime fans
When you think of a place where anime nerds gather, Anime NYC should be one that's on your mind first. This isn't because the convention has "anime" in its name but more so because the convention has everything that any anime fan could ever want.
Beginning with one of our favorite aspects of Anime NYC, you should go to this convention this year because you'll get to see some awesome anime cosplay.
Anime NYC is where you can wear dope anime cosplay
Do you have an Akatsuki cloak that's collecting dust in your closet? Maybe you have a Yor Forger wig that's begging to be worn? Maybe Anime NYC is the perfect place to debut your anime gear.
Although it isn't a requirement, cosplay has easily become a staple at these conventions because people love to showcase their passion for their favorite anime by putting it on. If you attend, you'll see cosplay outfits that range from having small, subtle designs to outfits that go all out and have ornate elements from top to bottom. Everyone gets really creative!
All in all, the best part about everyone wearing cosplay is that there's no awkwardness, so no matter what you wear you'll fit right in!
Anime NYC is where you can get unique anime merch
Maybe you've bought up all your favorite anime items from Crunchyroll. Or maybe you want to start purchasing some but don't know where to start. Or maybe you're somewhere in the middle. No matter where you fall, Anime NYC may be a great place for you to start looking!
From well-known brands that you may have heard of before to local businesses that create never-before-seen merch, there is certainly something for everyone to enjoy. Be it hoodies, artwork, or someone out there somewhere has made a piece that is calling your name or the name of an anime friend that you have that you want to buy a gift for.
Or maybe you are an artist who creates merch? If so, maybe this is the time to showcase your work by wearing it! The possibilities are endless!
Anime NYC is where you get all the best anime updates
Above all, Anime NYC is the best time to learn all about new and upcoming anime that are heading your way. It's where you'll hear about new installments, remakes, or film installments that you may have heard some gossip about, but were in desperate need of some official confirmations.
At Anime NYC 2023, we got to hear about titles like Tower of God season 2, A Sign of Affection, and Sengoku Youko, three announcements that blew our minds when we heard them the first time. Imagine what's coming our way this year!
Will we get to learn more about Noragami and whether another season is confirmed to be on the way? Do we have another My Hero Academia spinoff waiting for us? Or maybe there's something else that none of us could ever predict? Only time will tell!
Again, Anime NYC 2024 is not an event you want to miss. If you're all set on attending, be sure to head to the official site to buy your badge they last.
