Mighty manga mania!
Manga and anime players invade Big Apple
VIZ and Del Ray Manga are both pulling out all the stops for next weekend's New York Comic Con. Del Ray (Booths 458-459) will have numerous author autographing sessions, giveaways and special guests, who will also participate in panels such as Breaking into SF/Fantasy Publishing (Friday at 7), Future Shocks (Saturday at 11), Star Wars: Beyond 30 (Saturday at 4) and of course The Making of a Del Rey Manga (Sunday at noon).
VIZ, which is joining Del Rey and others in the Manga: What's Hot panel during Friday's trade-only hours, will be making available cell phone downloads of promotional trailers for their popular Death Note anime series on a one-time-only basis for cell phone downloads exclusively during the show at their booth (619). The first trailer will be available Saturday and the second on Sunday. This marks the first time this well-known Japanese anime property is being made legally available to U.S. audiences for download.
And of course the first annual American Anime Awards will be held at the con on Saturday night. Hope there's cosplay involved!
