New York Anime Festival doesn't officially start until Friday afternoon, but the festivities do kick off tonight with a party to celebrate Del Rey Manga's 5th Anniversary and a screening of the Eureka Seven movie that's sure to attract a whole lot of NYAF attendees.
Thursday is also your last chance to save time and save a little money by buying your New York Anime Festival tickets online. The deadline is 7:00 pm Eastern Time to make your purchase on the NYAF pre-registration page. After that, you'll just have to brave the lines and pay full price at the door.
Speaking of lines, it's worth your while to take a peek at the autograph policy, which includes times and info about picking up a numbered ticket to get an autograph from some of NYAF's special guests. Tickets are limited, so a little planning ahead will save you some disappointment. Also, there's still time to buy tickets for Sunday night's Far East to East showcase concert at Webster Hall on Sunday night.
