A round-up of the manga and anime stuff going on at New York Comic Con 2015. We’ll continue to update this as we get more information. And let us know if we missed anything.
The Reverse Thieves Summer 2015 Anime Awards
We’ve decided to starting highlighting each anime season with a mini-version of our end of the year awards. We hope this helps cap-off the season with a splash (and helps us remember all of great things by the time the end of the year rolls around). So without further ado, our picks for the best of summer 2015 . . .
