Hey there my friends, I hope that this pause in the regularly scheduled programming finds you well. So in NYC the weather has been a roller coast but the Summer is on the way just the same but I’m not here to report on the weather. I am here to share the news that according to the email we just received here at the Creative Command HQ, that PiercingMetal has once again been approved as Press/Media for this years Anime NYC.
