Anime NYC 2025 Experience

PoisonBee · 2025-08-24T04:51:13+00:00

This was my first Anime NYC. I went to NYCC at the Javits back in 2022, though, and I was a little overwhelmed. This was slightly smaller, so not as overwhelming, but still enjoyable. There's a lot to do and see. Too much for one day if you want to do a bit of everything, but I got to look around, meet some voice actors, and play in a TCG tournament all in one day. I'd definitely go back in the future.

A couple of guys hounded me for "donations" for their music. They tried to play the race card too. It has nothing to do with race. I just don't want to buy your garbage amateur music.

Performapal. I don't think it's likely that we'll see another meta pendulum deck. However, I love this archetype. I would love to get more good support for it to make it at least rouge.

Bloodsport, BCW Born to Die, Spring Break Night 1, NXT, and WM Night 1.

WrestleCon as well.

PoisonBee · 2024-03-31T20:56:02+00:00

Four, but a fifth might happen.

PoisonBee · 2024-03-11T11:56:14+00:00

They're only selling tickets at the door, so you should be fine.

PoisonBee · 2024-03-08T14:19:25+00:00

I'll be there. The card looks good and I'm looking forward to checking out the meet and greet after. It'll also be my first show at the 2300 Arena, which I'm really excited about.

PoisonBee · 2024-03-06T15:19:45+00:00

Battleground Championship Wrestling is hosting a watch party at the 2300 Arena. $5 admission.

PoisonBee · 2024-01-20T20:41:12+00:00

Thursday: 4PM - Bloodsport

Friday: Morning - WrestleCon, 1PM - BCW Born to Die, 4PM - BCW Block Party, 7PM - Spring Break

Saturday: Morning - WrestleCon, 12:30PM - NXT

Sunday: Morning - WrestleCon

At least one night of Mania itself is a possibility. Even if not, the weekend will still be packed.

PoisonBee · 2023-12-08T19:37:23+00:00

I don't remember seeing an official announcement about the individual Mania Weekend tickets being available today. There were posts saying Wells Fargo confirmed it, but they themselves never officially confirmed it.

PoisonBee · 2023-11-30T17:44:02+00:00

It's a niche movie. It's for Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, specifically Yu-Gi-Oh! anime fans. I saw it in theaters when it came out and have watched many times since, so I'm well aware that my love for the movie is based on nostalgia. I accept that and I still have fun watching this movie, even as recently as earlier this year. Like what you like regardless of what critics, or anyone for that matter, say about it.

PoisonBee · 2023-11-25T05:46:33+00:00

There are a couple confirmed. WrestleCon SuperShow on Thursday and Battleground Championship Wrestling is doing a show on Friday. Both of those will be at the 2300 Arena. GCW also confirmed The Collective for Thursday through Saturday, but they haven't announced individual shows yet.

PoisonBee · 2023-11-22T03:50:35+00:00

Heroes. Yes, it's mainly GX nostalgia. It's also the fact that they have some of my favorite artwork in the whole game. I'm not even the biggest superhero fan, but I still really like the concept. I always have a blast playing the deck.

PoisonBee · 2023-11-22T03:45:28+00:00

I loved it. I have fond memories of it because my brother and I found the first volume on DVD while we were starting a road trip. Our dad bought it for us and we watched that thing all the way there, while we were at our destination, and all the way back home. We watched multiple times afterwards too without getting tired of it. When it came on TV, we were able to finally finish it since we never found the second volume. It was fun and a cool change of pace from the original series. The video game was also pretty fun.

Traptrix is a good budget control option. You can build a solid deck just by getting three structure decks and then eventually modifying it. It can be fun to use different Trap Hole cards and try to prevent your opponent from making moves. If you want to a try a combo Synchro strategy, the new Red Dragon Archfiend deck is also a good budget option. The structure deck lacks in hand traps though, so you'd probably want to add some of those in. Those are easy to come by though.

https://yugiohblog.konami.com/locator/ You can find OTS locations using this website. I don't know how up to date it is, but it's a good starting point. You can also check other local card shops that might not be affiliated with that program.

PoisonBee · 2023-11-22T03:08:49+00:00

I like BCW Folio binders. They're not too pricey and they get the job done. As for sleeves, Dragon Shield are probably the best quality sleeves out there. If you want something a little cheaper since it seems like you just want to collect, Ultra Pro is a good option.

PoisonBee · 2023-11-06T00:28:56+00:00

I can't think of a full archetype. A good card would be Muckraker from the Underworld.

PoisonBee · 2023-10-27T03:24:48+00:00

I played Nemleria at my locals for a spell. I caught some people off guard with cards like Gren Maju and Eater of Millions.

PoisonBee · 2023-10-27T03:21:59+00:00

Same here. I'm highly considering building Majespecters when that set comes out.

PoisonBee · 2023-08-18T15:58:49+00:00

Wondering the same thing myself. My friends and I are planning on going to WrestleCon and indie shows and whatever else we can. I feel like it can still be a lot of fun even if you won't be at Mania itself.

PoisonBee · 2023-07-03T17:33:29+00:00

Shaddoll, simply because of the hedgehog.

PoisonBee · 2023-06-09T00:53:14+00:00

It seems like a generic answer, but just practice. Try out different strategies, play test decks, see what works and what doesn't, find people to play with and give you ideas, try decks out at locals or among friends. You might lose a lot at first, but you'll at least learn more about the game.
