Anime Boston 2009
So during the middle of May I took a fun trip to Anime Boston. If you don’t know what it is, let me fill you in on some of the details. It’s an event that spans three days and takes place in the Hynes Convention center in Boston. The tickets to get in were 30 bucks or something like that, I paid far ahead of schedule so I can’t really remember what it was. Basically all people do is dress up as characters, buy abuncha Japanese merchandise, buy artwork, and go to live shows or panels. Yup that’s about it. It sounds like a gyp and I kinda felt stupid the first day cause it wasn’t really that fun, but the next few days were much better. It basically boils down to the people that you bring, the energy that you bring, and fun that others bring.
So some of the highlights of the convention was actually just being an ass and taking pictures of cool cosplayers and being an ass with these cool cosplayers. FUN! No really, it’s pretty fun to see some of that stuff in person. There were a lot of typical cosplayers like Final fantasy and Naruto but that makes the interesting and unique ones stand out. Some of the other cool things was the mini concert. It was weird at first cause I don’t think many people knew the singers cause I didn’t, so people were just like sitting there. BUT later they started to get into it and it was really fun. I think it was the singers fault for not getting us into it earlier they were just dancing and not playing to the crowd. Oh and yeah I was being an ass there too so it was fun. And then there is the masquerade. Its not like what I thought it was going to be, but it was interesting. Pretty much people that do the cosplay strut their stuff and then have abuncha skits. The Death Note one was pretty funny and IMO the best one. After that I think the last thing was watching some shows and cartoons. It was some ninja anime and it was freaking strange yet hilarious.
Anyways enough talk, you want Pictures!
