The Big Apple Anime Fest (BAAF) was an anime convention sponsored by Mitsubishi Motors which was held annually between 2001 and 2003 and supported by a consortium of anime and manga companies.

In 2001, John O'Donnell conceived and founded the Big Apple Anime Fest (BAAF), an annual anime convention and film festival held in New York City. O'Donnell established BAAF as a separate for-profit company, independent from Central Park Media's operations, describing his ambition for the event as creating the "Cannes Film Festival of anime and manga culture."
