Tommy has worked for more than 10 years in the comic and video game industries. His video game list includes the initial designs of the Journeyman Project and FX Fighter! Old school! He also has worked on Speed Racer, Racer X and Danger Girl: Kamikaze and currently oversees Robotech's new developments! Tommy is coming to the shows to speak about the legend that is Robotech - it's past, present and future - so prepare to gather with our snappy comic fans to celebrate the wonder of Robotech! Keep up-to-date on the NYAF 2010 guests on our website - new names will be added as the show blasts towards us! |

Go, Speed Racer! Go! |
|||||||
| This week we want to pay our respects to Peter Fernandez, the mighty voice of Speed Racer, who passed away last week. Peter Fernandez was a passionate, youthful, kind man whose work touched many, many people. NYAF's Peter Tatara, the magician who brings in the splashy guests for New York Anime Fest, contributed a beautiful story about his relationship with Peter - the man who always had a bit of speed in his voice. We hope you'll read it. If you have any words about the impact Peter Fernandez or Speed Racer made on your life, be sure to post them to the blog and we'll direct them to the people that matter. |

The prequel's story is mind-blowing and since we know you'll be seeing the movie opening night, we expect you'll have to make another appearance at the cinema to see it in a whole new light! Find more details on The Last Airbender Day and make sure you get down to the big shebang on Friday, July 2nd! The Kinokuniya bookstore is located at 1073 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. |

Japan Cuts, a festival of contemporary Japanese Cinema, is taking place at the Japan Society from July 1st - July 16th! Japan Cuts is in it's 4th year and it's going to blow you out of the water in 2010! They're screening over 20 films (including co-presentations with the New York Asian Film Festival) and are throwing out some doozies - like the heaps of films that are making their North American Premieres or the director/actor appearances and Q&As. We definitely won't be able to resist something like Alien vs. Ninja - we hear it has strikingly creative special effects, thrilling karate fights and alien splatter. Over the top and ridiculous? Absolutely. Hilarious? Totally. Worth it? Without a doubt. Check out the full schedule of films and more info about the Japan Cuts here. The Japan Society is located at 333 East 47th Street in New York City. |
