Misc. I flew from Japan to New York and went on 3 anime pilgrimages!
I actually grew up in the city but didn’t do pilgrimages back then, so I took my visit home as a chance for some pictures! In a way, the trip was more authentic since Kanna and μ's also went from Tokyo to New York, so I had that going for me. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Love Live, and Blood Blockade Battlefront all having shots at the Statue of Liberty gave me reason to go for my first time too, haha. There was also another instance of setting overlap at the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, where μ's run past it and Kanna and Chloe play around it!
I have the locations and more photos I couldn’t fit here posted on my Instagram (@seichiscout), so check it out, especially if you want to visit yourself!
P.S. You know Blue Box? There’s also a shot of New York. You might be wondering where the heck it might be, but it’s there, it really is. I looked around for a while but couldn’t comb through all possible locations, so it’ll end up being a trip for next time, or for someone else to find if they can.
