Anime NYC is an annual three-day anime convention held during November at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.[4][5] The convention is the 12th largest North American anime convention as of 2017.[6]

Programming

The convention typically offers arcade games, concerts, masquerade, panels, screenings, vendors, and video and card games.[7][8] Anime NYC offered 100 hours of programming in 2017.[2]

History

Anime NYC's organizer created the New York Comic Con and LeftField Media also runs Washington DC’s Awesome Con.[1][9][10] The first Anime NYC took over a year to plan and used two halls in the convention center.[2][5] In the conventions first year, they did not use the amount of space New York Comic Con does.[8][11] New York City declared it Anime NYC Weekend for the 2017 convention.[11]
