Hooray!  The New York Times does a little article about the upcoming NYAF happenings this weekend.  FUNimation does get a mention in regards to the Soul Eater event.  Check out this excerpt:

[One of the most anticipated anime series premieres is “Soul Eater” (above left), about students at a special school for weapons training. But in this educational institution special means supernatural, and the headmaster is Death. The cast of the series, from FUNimation Entertainment, will have a signing session on Friday at 4 p.m. and another on Saturday, just after a 1 p.m. screening of the first three episodes. On Sunday at 1 p.m. fans of cosplay (costume play) dressed as “Soul Eater” characters are invited to take part in a group photo.] Read More.

See – we’re a big deal.

Can we get a timetable on when the first few dubs will be online (how long after the NY screening)?

Or at least Soul Eater is a big deal. Even on the top of the http://newyorkanimefestival.com/ website is an image of different characters of Soul Eater when you keep going back.

All kinds of comments spring to mind but setting politics aside, I’ve got to say it’s pretty darn cool to see any mention of anime in the papers. Maybe someone will read this and the buy it!
