New York Anime Fest 2009, Javits Center. Day one. Faye Valentine is one of my favorites.


The cast of Soul Eater signing many, many autographs.


Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator and director of Mobile Suit Gundam (as well as several of its subsequent sequels and spinoffs) and about a thousand other series.


Little known: did you know that Tomino is also a songwriter? Under his pseudonym "Rin Iogi", he has penned many songs, including the lyrics to the theme songs of several (most?) of the series that he created.


Vash the Stampede. Another favorite.


Zombie(?) Sailor Moons.

That's day one. More tomorrow!
