Over 1,500 people, many dressed as their favorite anime, manga and superhero characters, crowded the Egan Center for the first day of Senshi-Con 2013 on Saturday, Sept. 28.
The heading-turning line--dotted through with people in candy-colored wigs, superhero tights, and steampunk attire--stretched down 5th Avenue and lasted hours.
Organizers said it was a record busting year for attendence, with almost as many people coming through by the late afternoon of the first day as the entire year prior.
Senshi-Con will continue through Sunday, Sept. 29.
