Welcome back my friends, you have arrived at Part 2 of my Day One exploration of the first-ever Anime NYC convention which was taking over a part of the Javits Center this weekend. If you want to have a handy means of seeing all posted chapters for the event just click THIS LINK as it will open a new tab on your browser with anything that was posted about the convention. So I’ve admitted my relatively ingenue status with Anime and Manga but that being said let’s get back into the mix and have some fun. I’ll chime in when and if its necessary.
