Plans for New York Comic-Con 2011
Hey everyone, I just want to give a quick update on what’s going to happen regarding what I’m doing at New York Comic-Con.
First off, I will be attending the convention on Friday. I might attend the following panels.
“Unusual Manga Genres” (11:00am - 12:00pm) at Anime Stage
Sorry, Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix’s panel on the game is at the same time). I just don’t care about you at all.
“Is ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ A Superhero?” (12:15pm - 1:15pm) at Room 1B03 or “YEN PRESS” at Room 1A02
In my opinion, Lisbeth Salander is one of the most unique heroines in recent memory. I truly think that she’s a good role model for young girls who are struggling to survive. Though that Yen Press panel entices me too.
“Mythbusters: Anime Edition” (2:00pm - 3:00pm) at Anime Stage
This intrigues me to a huge degree as I have watched the TV show before with my cousin.
“Hiro Mashima & Kodansha Comics” (6:30pm - 7:30pm) at Room 1A24
I never was interested in Fairy Tail, but I am going to the panel to support Kodansha USA’s efforts.
“Vertical Inc. Industry Panel” (8:45pm - 9:45pm) at Room 1A03
I love stuff from Vertical. THANK YOU FOR PICKING UP GTO: SHONAN 14 DAYS!
On Saturday, I will be cosplaying as Cold-Blooded Tough Guy Takasugi-Kun from 3Z Ginpachi Sensei and hopefully will be wielding the infamous “Patriot”.
I will be attending the following panels:
“Sunrise” (12:00pm - 1:00pm) at Room 1A03
I will be attending with a friend who will be cosplaying Tsukuyo to promote Gintama to everyone!
“Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3” (2:45pm - 3:45pm) at American Airlines Theater, Room 1A06
Phoenix Wright reveal (who I HOPE WILL BE REVEALED in this panel) will be EPIC.
“CBLDF: Defending Manga” (7:30pm - 8:30pm) at Room 1A23
If you consider yourself a serious manga fan, I highly recommend you check this panel out. Seriously.
Sorry, I will not be attending the Cosplay Masquerade, though I might sneak a peek and whack people with the Patriot.
On Sunday, this is what I hope to be attending:
“VIZ Media” (10:45am - 11:45am) at Room 1A23
I should make a petition to bring back Gintama :P
“Tiger & Bunny” (1:15pm - 2:15pm) at Room 1A03
I will be attending this panel with a friend. One of my favorite animes due to its Western influence.
“Anime News Network Panel” (2:30pm - 3:30pm) at Room 1A15
One of my Google Reader sites and always a pleasure to visit. This will be my first time going to one of their panels.
So, I think that covers up my plans for the convention. Of course, things will be tentative. I will also be shopping for Gintama merchandise.
If anyone wants to meet me in person and talk about a variety of things, feel free to tweet me (if I have reception in that god-forsaken Javitz Center). For those who are interested, I have indeed moved into a new home and still trying to settle in. No home Internet right now and I am writing this entry at a library in Manhattan. I just realized how much I miss blogging and I hope to get back to it soon. In so many ways, Manga Therapy is “therapy” for me. I don’t want to take that for granted.
That’s about it for now. See you guys soon!
