As the year draws closer to a close, so does this year’s convention season, capping off with Anime NYC to… interesting results, in some regards. Fun was had, enjoyment was shared, and panels brought with them plenty of fan experiences and announcements, and we’re here to recap the happenings and goings-on – plus plenty of upcoming home video talk, a look at the 2021 Oricon sales rankings, Seven Seas brokering a big deal for a popular manga series with another company, and plenty more in this jampacked show!
And do you hear that in the distance? It’s the sound of Discotek Day approaching. Prepare yourselves.
NOTE: This show was recorded before the news of an Anime NYC attendee testing positive for the COVID-19 omicron variant had broken. If you attended Anime NYC and are feeling unwell, you are advised by New York Governor Kathy Hochul to get tested for COVID-19. Please remember to follow municipal/state/federal guidelines for indoor venues.
