Anime NYC is an annual New York-based event to celebrate all things anime and related Japanese pop culture. It purports to be the largest anime convention on the East Coast, with over one-hundred-thousand people showing up for the four-day event. And with its association with Crunchyroll, has become an important fixture in the Western anime calendar. As such, it brings in an impressive list of celebrity guests, and of course some incredibly fine cosplay. As ever, Mineralblu were in attendance for\u00a0Kotaku, snapping the best fits for your eyeballs\u2019 pleasure.<\/p>\n
