Whatever happened to Big Apple Anime Fest?

[Sano]

Whatever happened to Big Apple Anime Fest?

I met a guy who used to work for them named Mike, he was even a Capcom fanboy lol!

Long story short, the last one in 2003 was run by different people in charge than prior years. It was a flop because the big draw was the Initial D movie and that didn't bring in as many people as the Cowboy Bebop Movie did the year before, or the year before that - what was it that year Princess Monoke? So don't remember... There was still a lot of people but they didn't make their money back, so it's over and the people who ran it all went their seperate ways.

There has been anime stuff and events at the NY Comic Con the last 2 years, so now it's getting it's own show at the same spot - Jacob Javitz.

On a funny note, Capcom came to the second Big Apple Anime Fest in 2002 at the same exact time I was in Japan buying Capcom related stuff (and doing other stuff of course lol) so I didn't go to that one. DOH! Even though I missed them I don't regret my trip to Japan for an instant, but that's really funny to me. :rofl:

+ Akira. How you gonna forget that boy Tetsuo? :rofl:

Anyways, It's far away enough, so I actually have a chance of attending this.

Yeah the Republicans did fill up all of the hotels in '04, what I was saying was why it didn't come back in '05 and beyond. This is according to what Mike told me so.... all I know for sure is that it's over. :sweat:
