The Javits Center—New York City’s massive glass-encased gathering place for conventions, trade shows, and, often, nerds—played host to an anime festival this past weekend, AnimeNYC. Being the animation obsessives that we are, The Dot and Line was on the scene. Here’s what we saw, in photographs:

Often, all you can do to avoid being overwhelmed by the masses is to sit down among them, and breathe.
The only thing that matched the cosplay? Excellent toys and models of your favorite cartoon characters.
The illustrations especially proved hot-ticket items.
You know they’re a family.
Sometimes you stare into the Plushie Pool and the Plushie Pool stares back.
This is the next generation, and they love anime. Deal with it.
