The festival will span the complete breadth of anime pop culture, including exclusive and extensive screenings, a gala cosplay masquerade and sessions with the biggest names in anime from Japan, Asia and America. The event will also explore the Japanese cultural experience with a showcase of both traditional and cutting-edge Japanese cuisine, apparel, and lifestyles. NYAF will also feature the latest in manga, toys, costumes, videogames, trading card games, DVDs, music and much more on the show floor.
