The event aims to become a major anime convention in New York City, after the New York Anime Festival convention was folded into New York Comic Con in 2012.
Both Topalian and Tatara were formerly affiliated with ReedPOP and New York Comic Con, and Tatara also managed guests and events at the New York Anime Festival convention.
Event company LeftField Media announced on Tuesday that it will launch Anime NYC, a new anime convention in New York City.
LeftField Media founder Greg Topalian and LeftField Media’s head of content Peter Tatara are organizing the convention.
