Please read Part 2 of the interview before reading Part 3 Facing the Concerns On October 13, 2011, it was the first Thursday opening for NYCC and NYAF. Although most of the exhibitors were set up, the show floor was not accessible until 4pm to non-exhibitors. Unfortunately, there was not a separate press time, meaning prior to 4pm. As a result, the press, professionals and VIP holders shared

Please read Part 1 of the interview before reading Part 2 Arrangement Decisions When entering the show floor from the 34th street side of the building one encountered an extravagant display of exhibitor booths. As I moved towards the back of the room, the lighting was getting darker and it felt gloomy. This was where most of the least impressive booths were located. There was a similar layout

Hello readers! I present to you, Peter Tatara, who is the Programming Director of New York Comic Con (NYCC) and New York Anime Festival (NYAF). I had the opportunity to interview Tatara about this year’s convention accomplishments and improvements for the future. Overall, ReedPop is “very proud” of the convention. It was a great achievement with 105,000 attendees, and it “flowed smoothly,

Saturday is usually the insane day and boy it was! As always, walking along 34th street in the morn, one would encounter a crowd of people, in costume and non-costumes, walking towards the Hudson River. When one reached the corner of 11th Avenue, there was a person(s), who would be providing guidance to those heading for the convention. Last year, was a police officer assisting in the flow of

The next and last panel that I attended on Friday was She’s So Unusual: Lolita Fashion in the Media located in the Anime Galleria. I was hoping that there would be people in Lolita, but sadly there were not as many there as I expected. As shown in the photograph above, most of the seats that were facing the panel stage were filled. Along for the ride, was my friend who was not familiar with the

This was my first Friday panel. To be honest, I never heard of this company until I looked through the panel listings. So my curiosity led me to a line of waiting fans. Thank goodness I was there early enough to get a seat that would allow me to take pictures of the panelists and the screen. The panelist from left to right were April Brem (VOD Manager), Stacy Dodson (Executive Vice President),

Article by Chet Royer Hey there readers! This is Chet a.k.a Ninja101 here to tell you all about a certain game I was able to get my hands on at NYCC. That game is called Dragon’s Dogma by Capcom. Now when I first heard of this game and saw the trailer a while back, I was extremely hyped. I am a huge fan of another Capcom title known as Monster Hunter. To me, Dragon’s Dogma closely resembled

After attending the Costume Contest on Saturday I wanted to rest my feet. I decided to travel underground to the press lounge. Along the way I stumbled upon the Speed Dating event. There was a tall sign for it and taped to it was a notice. It warned the attendees that this was going to be taped for a televised program. So, anyone who agreed to this had to sign a form at the table near the

I have never been to this part of the convention/building. As a result, I was quite curious and excited about what was located there. The North Concourse leading to the building had a different appeal to it. Other than the fact that it was literally a tunnel, it had bright red walls that caught ones’ eye, while fitting the color scheme of the event. Opposite of the wall there are large windows

Since this is the first time I have been to the Anime Galleria I decided to browse around. Strangely enough, it was the best time to do so! On Friday the area was practically empty after 7pm, and of course, most of the artists had left for the day. Nonetheless, I was able to walk around with ease and do some photography. The NYAF portion was identifiable with the usage of a dedicated banner

However, many of the tables in the artist alley were unoccupied. I was like where are all the artists

It was the first day of the 2011 New York Comic Con/New York Anime Festival, and I was quite excited about attending another convention. I had a game plan to follow through; which included purchasing of autographs. Since, I was going to take pictures of booths, I was hoping that the exhibitors would be ready by the 4pm opening for the crowd, press and professionals. While I was walking around
