Just found this Anime NYC blurb while nursing my post-ranked match earl grey. One part’s got me confused. Why do the panels run until 10 p.m. when the main convention closes at 8 p.m. on Thursday, and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday? Does that mean the exhibit halls lock up early but the panels keep going? I’m down for a late-night manga creator Q&A, but I don’t wanna plan a loot run around hours that don’t line up. Chill mindset only goes so far when I’m trying to map out my day.
