Best Place To Dress as a Star Wars Character and Still Meet Someone Normal
Anime Boston Convention
Picture this: you’re walking through Back Bay on Easter Sunday when you come across a storm trooper comparing notes with Rei from the Japanese anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. No, you’re not dreaming — you’re at the ANIME BOSTON CONVENTION. Every year, this event turns the Hynes Convention Center into a surreal parade of sci-fi/anime lovers who profess their fandom by dressing outlandishly in their favorite characters’ costumes. Our favorite part: public-address announcements inside warning, essentially, “If the weapons you’re carrying look real enough that they may concern the police, please conceal them before going outside.”
