Hi All! I know that Anime-NYC was held about 2 weeks ago. I was so busy at work and other things that I didn't have the time to put down my quick impression of it. This will be short. The Good: I haven't encountered any huge lines this year. Some of the big industry people came back with their huge booths in the Dealer's Room. Got to meet some old friends that I haven't seen in years. Able to go to most of the panels and screenings I wanted to attend. The Bad: Even though having to wear a mask was a policy at the con,

What's the DC area like?
Daniel Perales replied to Chillo's question in BBS Questions, Answers, and Feedback
As much as I like to drive, I decided to take the bus when both Katsucon and Otakon first moved to D.C, and later to train, when I saw just how hard and expensive it would be to bring my car over. -

That screen is the largest screen in the area (perhaps the world). That "One Piece" ad took the entire top half of it. When you look at the center-left (look like bands), that's where "Good Morning America" is televised. You can also see McDonalds (where I pass by and sometimes eat there before work everyday). That whole hour felt like I was in the "New Year's Eve" crowd. People were chanting "ONE PIECE"! over and over again while the ad played on.

Speaking of trains, I just made my Amtrak train reservations for next years Otakon. Only cost me $62 round trip (New York to Washington D.C. and back).

Was there any spike of Covid after Otakon?
Daniel Perales replied to Daniel Perales's topic in Post Otakon 2022
Less than a dozen, out of 40,000. I would consider that's almost insignificant. -

So did I, but most of the vendors I interacted with did had their's on like I did. I remember New York Comic Con threw a vendor out last year because they refused to follow the guidelines (wear masks). -

I heard (2nd or 3rd hand information), that there were at least 2 vendors in the Dealer's Room caught Covid. Not sure if it was during or right after Otakon. Since the name of those vendors were not disclosed, I will just take it as hearsay. -

Here in New York City, they made a huge deal about Anime-NYC last year. A person from Minnesota was tested positive when he got home from the con. My supervisor from work broke the news to me and I had myself tested that very night. Came clean. Anyway, it turned out that it was only him and half of the other people that he was hanging out with were the only ones that were affected.
