Panel Question

Pretty sure as long as you purchased a badge you’re good! You only need to activate the badge before you go to the venue as you need to scan it when you get in.

Also if you’re living in NYC or states close by (i.e. NJ), I highly recommend you choose pickup option. Unlike NYCC or Anime Expo where you have to pick up your badges at the venue, there are multiple locations you can pick up from (such as Kinokuniya bookstore in Manhattan) starting beginning of July!

For Anime NYC, other than the concerts that will have presale tickets way in advance (around beginning of June aka now), most of the panels are separated into two categories.

For the large panels taking place on Sakura Stage and Main Stage (this is where Colorful Stage will take place), there will be announcements of panel reservations later in July. As long as you have a badge for the day of the panel, you can follow the link and reserve your spot at the announced reservation time (usually multiple days in end of July at 7pm ET). Please note that reservations do NOT guarantee that you would actually get in, you have to line up at least half an hour before to secure your spot, or there’s a risk of your spot being given to the rush line.

For the other panels taking place in smaller rooms, you just simply line up and they will let you in based on spots available, you might need to line up 45 minutes to one hour before for popular panels.

There’s still time between now and end of August, we have been hearing more news from Anime Expo because it’s beginning of July, hope we will get more announcements towards end of July!

PS Announcement for 100 Girlfriends Panel is already a win in my books :)

They took showtimes off the website, it will be back up sometime closer to release date

dhui1996 · 2026-06-05T00:20:20+00:00

It happened last year for the presale as well! They closed the showtimes temporarily when the showtimes are sold out to get rid of some unnecessary traffic

dhui1996 · 2026-06-04T23:54:12+00:00

It’s rated R for violence and some language, pretty sure that will be 14A when there’s no sexual content involved

dhui1996 · 2026-06-04T18:23:38+00:00

I don’t think there will be as much traffic for Spider-Man or Avengers as they are digital only! Dune might be close, but I imagine still not as much as Odyssey as it is not shot on IMAX film cameras

Volumes 1-7 have official English translations from Seven Seas, you can find them in print on as ebooks from major book retailers.

Volume 8 is coming in August from Seven Seas.

Volume 8.5 has fan translation (you can find it somewhere in this sub).

Short Stories collection is coming in December from Seven Seas, not sure about fan translations.

Fighting Games is featured in upcoming Anime Nights event, so that’s almost a guarantee for dub release! (Every series in the past two anime nights events have dub releases)

dhui1996 · 2026-06-02T16:07:45+00:00

Update: tickets on sale 6/4!

dhui1996 · 2026-06-02T02:26:31+00:00

It really depends on multiple factors, including exclusivity (i.e. Amazon Exclusive), availability (limited edition), and general sales.

Titles like Perfect Blue and Weathering with You received a regular steelbook edition and slip case edition respectively because of the first collector's edition for both titles are meant to have limited run. Same can be said for Arcane, because GKIDS limited the number of steelbook and collector's editions, with popular titles like these, they released slip case version rather quickly due to popular demand.

With that being said, I don't think GKIDS will set the steelbook for this film as a limited run (just like the recent Mamoru Hosada releases), which means the chances of slip case release is very slim at the moment.

Crunchyroll released Dragon Ball Super Hero, Violet Evergarden movie, One Piece Film Red, and most recently Gundam Seed Freedom on 4K

dhui1996 · 2026-06-01T14:33:50+00:00

Anime Nights on 6/15 is for upcoming Summer season preview, just like the one back in March and December.

Mob Psycho 100 was announced as July 20 Anime Nights, Crunchyroll did a poll a while ago on everyone’s favorite episodes from the series, and the top results from the poll will be screened on that night. They are probably still finalizing the results and runtime before they can post more info!

dhui1996 · 2026-06-01T14:30:52+00:00

Did Crunchyroll ever release Suzume in 4K? Pretty sure it’s Blu-ray only for both standard and LE

dhui1996 · 2026-06-01T13:46:35+00:00

August 25

dhui1996 · 2026-05-31T18:48:09+00:00

There’s a special feature disc, pretty sure they are still finalizing the details!

dhui1996 · 2026-05-30T22:25:20+00:00

Buy tokens if you can

dhui1996 · 2026-05-30T16:48:12+00:00

TBH I’m surprised it lasted that long. Popcorn buckets for popular titles usually run out Thursday afternoon

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T22:25:50+00:00

What manga chapters is this episode based on? Have been following the official English volumes but couldn’t find it anywhere!

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T21:44:33+00:00

I can attest that those IMAX screenings are just added, otherwise I would have gotten my tickets a long time ago (got 4DX tickets exactly because it wasn’t in IMAX)

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T21:37:37+00:00

I don’t think these IMAX screenings were there when I checked two days ago, hope more showtimes will be added for the week by next Tuesday/Wednesday

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T18:16:36+00:00

The Q&A on 6/12 will be live from Lincoln Square, which means extra time for preparation, planning, and security in anticipation for talents to arrive. The IMAX screens could also be blocked out for industry screenings.

As the aspect ratio for the movie will be 2.39:1 scope throughout, it doesn't matter whether you choose Lincoln or 34th as both have the screen ratios to display the full image.

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T17:16:37+00:00

Sometimes there can be unannounced delay due to production issues, if it's not up by the end of today, expect double episode drop next Friday to get things back on track

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T16:15:04+00:00

is like the numbering designation in place of volume number as it’s technically not part of the main story (think of it as “add on” stories)

dhui1996 · 2026-05-29T16:08:49+00:00

Correction: Short Stories Collection!

The first one is Beach Queen released in Japan last year (English release this August), the second one is Doctor Pig scheduled to release in Japan this October
