NYAF is all about anime and manga, but it's not exclusively about anime and manga. Nope, we're all about everything in the geeky anime culture scene, including -- for the first time -- Steampunk.
We've been bitten by the Steampunk bug and have three exciting Steampunk events for the first time at NYAF.
Easing you in, there's our Steampunk in Anime panel at 11:15 AM on Saturday in Panel Room 2. Taking it a step further, we're hosting a Neo-Victorian Fashion Show at 12:30 PM on Sunday on the Apple Kissa Stage. And, then topping it off, we're honored to welcome Steampunk author Scott Westerfeld to the show. Scott Westerfeld will be at NYAF on Sunday at 1:30 PM in Panel Room 3, hosting a panel on his upcoming book, Leviathan. Set in alternate World War I filled with giant robots and living battleships, Leviathan's been getting a lot of attention, and NYAF can't wait to get all the details about Leviathan straight from the author's mouth. Or goggles.
