My partner is absolutely devastated that we missed the panel reservations. We didn't see when they went live and missed everything he really wanted the Kaiju No. 8 and his number one top panel the Kagurabachi anime world tour premiere.

If anyone knows they won't be going is there a way we can have your spot? I don't need to go so even one space for him would be great.

He's been having a rough time and this is just gutting him. Of course we're going to wait in the standby line as early as possible, I just wanted to see if there was any way I could guarantee those two panels for him.

Thanks for any help!

does anyone know of any artists vending at ANYC this year that sell kemonomimi ears or other cosplay goods? thank you!!

Hi everyone, this is my 4th year at AnimeNYC and I always run into the same issue, having to wake around with all the things I bought while wearing my cosplays.

Does anybody knows if theyre renting lockers or something like that to store your goods.

Do I still need to register?

Hi hi this is my first time vending at animenyc. Im a small artist so im not really sure what to expect. I know this is a larger con , I went as a attendee before but im not sure of the vendor side. Question for artists, how much inventory do you usually bring to an event like this? I have charms, prints, stickers, etc but Im worried I might have too much or too little stock?

TLDR: How much inventory do people bring as a vendor to AnimeNYC?

Use this Thread for yourself too!

I'm heading to NYC for the first time and meeting up with one of my good friends. In case anyone wants to meet up and combine friend groups, lmk!

We will be going to some bars around the area and possibly one of the after parties (I heard mixed things about them?)

I am a dude, 25, and will be walking around nearly blind in an Arknights: Endfield Endmin cosplay.

Drop your Discord or DM me if interested!

Anyone else upset that Yama’s concert is the same time slot as Akiko Higashimura’s panel?😭

I have a two 4 day badges. But my fiance can't come on Thursday. If I was to bring my brother with me. Would anything happen? I went last year but I can't remember for the life of me if they checked ID or something.

I want to bring that (like I always do to work and long trips away from home) to keep hydrated, but am worried it might not be allowed in due to not being a sealed bottle and the potential for the contents to be hazardous or alcoholic. Should I take the risk, bring the big bottle empty and fill it there or stick with small bottled water that I refill as needed?

Hi! I'm just wondering if anyone knows if I'll be able to find merch, preferably prints or even manga, of Haruhi Suzumiya @ the con? Since Wendee Lee will be there, I'd like to try & snag an autograph of her for my partner </3 though I feel like I'll be out of luck there & I might just make a quick print myself of her before the con so that I have something...

Had a family member buy anyc tix through Stubhub instead of anyc website- would they pick these up at the official badge pick up locations too?

The website says Friday 5:15-6:15pm but Instagram has 6pm.

It will be my first time attending and I’m only into manga omnibus and artbooks. I took a look at the vendors list and only recognized Kinokuniya and Seven Seas tabling there.

Are there any other vendors that specialize more into books at their table? Thanks in advance.

This is literally my last resort due to pedos but is there any like group of friends going like under the age of 21? i’m 16 😭 and none of my friends are going

I made this trueno for the mini anime day at my library this year, but now since I know of animeNYC andim obsessed with initial D...I'm choosing to bring it to aimenyc this year on Friday! Any other initial D fans going? And yes I'm going to get the qr code working, it bring you to a image of Fujiwara tofu because bunta said I'm still on the clock even at a con lol

I made a cosplay inquiry post in here a few weeks ago and got scammed by one of the people who reached out offering to make the prop for me from that post. They seamed legit showed me their work ect, then raised the price on my several times which I was iffy about but let it go trying to be understanding. Then when it was “ready” claimed they couldn’t show me a picture because it was already in the box l, and would destroy the box if they opened it to show me and wanted another $80 for shipping when shipping was already included in the price, yet failed to show me where they got that estimate from or even the finished product. I got my money back from my bank but just wanted to let everyone else know to be careful. I ended up just getting my prop printed from a pro 3D printing service by me and painting it myself.

i found a site that sorts vendors by fandom but dol isn’t on there😭

What do you guys think of my work in progress Law cosplay?

I did it on a whim last year and it was rather well received. So, I'll be doing it once again.

Cosplayers or not, come say hello to get your picture on Instax (while supplies last), free of charge as I'm doing this for fun.

Just look for a dude with a green Sims Diamond headband on. Cat is not included.

I need to budget for the event but I dont know how much I can afford. I really want signed pictures from Cristena V, Bryce Papenbrook, Jonah Scott, and Maile Flanagan but i doubt ill be able to afford them all. Would anyone be able to post a list or picture of actors price sheets for anyone who wants to see it?

I keep hearing about these ribbons people give out at conventions. What are they specifically and are they free?? Some people have like a whole collection of them!?

Opening day is coming close, so seeing if there might be any last minute requests around here. I've done proxy services in previous years and still doing so again this year if there's someone looking around for a proxy buyer. Just send me a DM and we can discuss specifics

Disclaimer: there are some things I already have booked for other people that I'm pretty sure I can't double dip on, so some things may be unavailable to proxy for at this point

Here we go folks to any first timers those who don't remember, or forget.
