Flashback: Anime NYC’s 2023 Photo Gallery Videos

As the organizers of Anime NYC scheduled the 2024 edition of their mangatastic event to August from its long-standing November happening, I felt I should do the same kind of Photo Gallery Recap Videos that I often do for the New York Comic Con. My rationale behind doing this some months before it happens and not very close to the event is based on my wanting you to be able to try and get yourself tickets before such a thing is just impossible to do. Much like the New York Comic Con, the Anime NYC convention sells out well in advance. This year is not only going to be months earlier but its also supposed to be using much more of the Javits Center so that should mean a lot more tickets to dole out. Having attended all three days, each of the recaps has been embedded down below for you to be able to enjoy them in one place. It also ups the amount of website content since sometimes finding videos on YouTube is a chore. Please enjoy this flashback to New York Comic Con 2023 at the Javits Center.

It was back in late November last year that the PiercingMetal High Command was once again in attendance at the rapidly expanding Anime NYC convention at the Javits Center. I’ve been going to this event since its debut in 2017 and the 2023 event would mark my sixth annual attendance as a part of the Geek Media. Generally speaking, I begin running the Instagram images straight away but the website and life got super busy around that time and it prevented me from serving up all of the awesome cosplayers and the other sights that I encountered along the way. I was timely with the Reels and other short form videos because those needed to go live as they happened and any of the day to day convention and promotional posts can be found by clicking HERE as that will open up a new browser tag with the content that’s been dedicated to the 2023 convention. Now without any further adieu, here begins the Instagram Takeover by Anime NYC 2023. I am pretty sure that you will like what you see because I have a couple of hundred images to bring to your attention.
