The New York Anime Festival on YouTube

Anime may have its roots in Japanese pop-culture, but it has undoubtedly developed into a worldwide phenomenon. Indeed, Naruto and Pokemon have become part of our global lexicon.

Accordingly, the company behind New York Comic Con has now created a festival devoted entirely to anime: The New York Anime Festival, featuring exclusive anime screenings, manga, cosplay, video games, live-action Japanese cinema, Japanese fashion and food.

If you weren't in New York last week to catch the festivities, have no fear – IFCNews is bringing the festival to you. Check out the Film & Animation page for your anime update!

Still not hip to the anime phenomenon? Check out some of these videos from YouTube partners and you will be.


Enjoy the fest,
