2007 New York Anime Festival Photo Gallery

The 2007 New York Anime Festival may be over, but the photo fun's just begun, as I'll be posting a whole bunch o' images from this weekend's events.

See photo highlights of the manga and anime events held this weekend, including:

• The Gothic Lolita invasion of New York City (or at least at the TokyoPop booth)
• Scenes from Friday night's Anime Insider / World Cosplay Summit Masquerade
• A sneak peek of the shojo manga X-Men project
• Cool collectibles that were too cute to pass up
• Lots of creative cosplay and just a few of the special guests and events that made this weekend memorable.

I'll be adding more photos over the next day or two -- but if you've got photos to share, drop me a line and maybe you'll see your shots up here soon!

There's lots more great coverage of the news from NYAF all over the blogosphere. Here's a few of my faves:

• Pop Culture Shock - Katherine Dacey-Tsuei sums it all up nicely with her Top Five Manga News Stories from NYAF
• Publisher's Weekly - Check out their team coverage of this weekend's events and announcements.
• Manga Blog - Intrepid manga blogger Brigid was there and covered a lot of news and events straight from the convention floor.
• TheOtaku.com - Gia not only covered many of the manga panels, she also reported from several anime panels as well to get the scoop from that side of the pop culture spectrum.

Were you there at NYAF? What did you think of this weekend? Sound off in the forums with your stories and suggestions for next year.
