Last month, RFB hosts Max Randall @metroartcollective, Bryant Denton @dr_denton, and Calvin Williams @lushvibesradio went on the scene to Anime NYC, a three day convention at the Javits Center.

They spoke with super-fans in costume who defended their controversial opinions on some of the most popular shows in the anime zeitgeist. Despite an over-abundance of weaponry, no cosplayers were injured over their divisive points of view.
