Popverse's top stories of the day

Anime NYC 2024 isn't quite over yet (we've still got a Terminator: Zero panel to cover), but that doesn't mean it's not too early to look toward the future. The convention itself seems to agree with us, as they've already revealed when attendees can return next year: Anime NYC will take place August 22 - 24 in 2025.

This will be the second year that Anime NYC puts the convention on in August, a change from their previous conventions that were held in November. Unconfirmed so far is whether or not Anime NYC will keep up the second tradition that might've started this year - that is, preempting the con with the American Manga Awards, the very first of which happened August 22 of this year.

Badges for Anime NYC 2025 are not yet purchasable on the convention's website. But don't worry; Popverse will let you know as soon as they're available.

And hopefully, we'll see you there.
