Top 5 Anime Panels From New York Comic Con x MCM Comic Con's Metaverse

Bringing the world to you, one anime panel at a time.

While we all mourn the loss of the 2020 comic con season, I’m not going to write its eulogy. My friends, colleagues, and fellow industry professionals work way too hard on these events to focus on what we’re missing. Instead, I’d like to write briefly on one of the major benefits to digital conventions. We are now no longer bound by physical events, travel, and schedules. Anybody from around the globe can participate in our events, including actors, creators, and musicians. The fans that benefit from this most are guaranteed to be anime and manga fans. International flights are no longer needed to access your favorite creators and voice actors. To me, the team lead behind the anime/manga programming at the NYCC x MCM Metaverse, this is very evident across our panels. From cast reunions to famous anime directors like Kunihiko Ikuhara, Metaverse is helping to make the world a little bit smaller for us nerds.

Below is a highlight of some of the many anime and manga panels you will see at NYCC x MCM Metaverse taking place from October 8-11 on Youtube
