What: Crunchyroll, the world’s most popular anime brand, is wrapping a year of incredible convention experiences by powering Anime NYC, New York’s largest dedicated anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture convention. Crunchyroll is the “Powered by” sponsor of Anime NYC for the third year, continuing a commitment to create unique experiences for the anime community all across the country.
“The team at Anime NYC cares deeply about anime fans, so it’s a natural fit for Crunchyroll to work with them as the ‘Powered by’ sponsor of the show,” says Mary Franklin, Head of Events at Crunchyroll. “We are excited to meet up with fans in New York, hear what they think, and bring them great Crunchyroll content.”
This year, Crunchyroll has two booths for fans to enjoy, including the first-ever Crunchyroll Games booth at Anime NYC. We’ll celebrate anime for everyone with a series of activities and activations including:
- Photo opportunities galore – The all-new “Dr. STONE” mosaic wall will make its debut, and fans are invited to snap a pic and have their photos placed alongside other passionate fans to create a mural. Fans are also invited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “One Piece” with a special photo wall featuring fan-favorite characters from the beloved series.
- Crunchyroll Games demos – Fans are invited to check out the Crunchyroll Games booth to enjoy playable demos of the upcoming “Mob Psycho 100: Psychic Battle” and “NARUTO x BORUTO NINJA TRIBES,” alongside “Attack on Titan TACTICS,” and “Grand Summoners.”
- Shield Hero Training Room – Are you ready to be a hero? Well grab your shield and test your skills to level up.
