The New York Comic Con was full, and there were eight famous hosts of the event, all actresses of the ADV Films Company. Even the gorgeous Christine Auten and the brilliant Serena Varghese were among them. I watched the live show on IGN.com and could not believe my eyes – it was a gala show during which the anime characters seemed alive, walking the scene, talking, and exchanging greetings with people – it was something superb, and I cannot recollect any other occasion of such scale. Anyway, the American Anime Awards is considered one of the most prestigious anime celebrations; the famous anime film “Final Fantasy VII” received the award as the best anime feature, and the short series “FLCL won the title of the best short series. As for manga, the award distinguished such works as “Naruto”, “One Piece”, “Death Note”, etc. – I fully agree with the choice as I adore these works as well.
