Editor's P/S

Anime Con NYC 2023 is just around the corner, and I can't wait to attend! This year's lineup of guests is incredible, and I'm especially excited to meet voice actors Kana Ichinose and Kikunosuke Toya. I'm also looking forward to checking out the latest anime and manga releases from Crunchyroll and other vendors.

The Javits Center is a great venue for Anime Con NYC, and it's easy to get to by public transportation or car. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants in the area, so you can make a weekend out of it. I'm already planning my cosplay and can't wait to see everyone there!
