Ain’t It Cool News has a MASSIVE report from Anime Boston. This article is insanely detailed, very interesting and overall a great read. But long…very long.
Here’s a quote: “Judging by the throngs of people on Saturday (the official convention attendance was 9,354*) Anime Boston continued to grow in its fourth year, the second in which it was held at the Hynes Convention Center. Especially with the Big Apple Anime Fest out of the picture there’s little competition, but Anime Boston has certainly cemented itself as the powerhouse anime convention of the North East.”
Read the rest of the article “Anime AICN – Anime Boston Report“. It has some great insight into new releases
*I believe our Anime Central had much more people than that. So be proud, ACENer’s!!!

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
