Anime Boston 2009 Wrap Up
0
So Anime Boston was a lot of fun this year, probably the most fun I have had at this convention over the past 3 years. This was mainly due to the large group of us that got together throughout the weekend. It was mainly Myself, Mike, Bio, Nikon, and two of my close friends. Though at times there were 14-15 people in our group as we walked around. A bunch of users came up to us to say hello and we rewarded them with hentai manga and buttons. It was really cool meeting users from the site and hearing what they thought of it. And it was even more cool to see people walking around in the Hen-Tie shirts that we sold out of a few weeks ago.
Kalafina performed and they were phenomenal. Nothing beats adorable Asian girls singing and dancing on stage. We later went to the "Kalafina and The Garden of Sinners" panel which had the members of Kalafina, their producer, and the producer of The Garden of Sinners answering questions. It was a lot of fun and really interesting. Mike asked them what their favorite music was and got a free book for doing so (I think the answers were Pink, Beyonce, and Radiohead). As Nikon mentioned a bunch of us went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory later that night. Delicious food and good beer was had.
Another good story, we went to the last 15 minutes of the "What? Why? Hentai!" panel and walked in just in time to see a man getting corn on the cob shoved up his ass. (some of you might know what that is from) This was followed by an AMV to the "The Internet is for Porn" song showing a ton of loli hentai. What made this even better was that there were two Boston police standing in the back of the room. They were laughing at the corn on the cob but for some reason they left during the loli music video.. I can't imagine why..
We spent some time in the Karaoke room where Bio got up and sang the Mushishi OP. And from what I heard he did an awesome job with it. There might be a video of it posted somewhere in this thread. And of course we bought a bunch of figures and wall scrolls and whatnot throughout the weekend.
There is a bunch more I could write about but I don't really have time so I'll have to wrap this story up. I will make another post in this thread with some pictures right after this one. And if anyone went to the convention feel free to post your pictures.
And I never mentioned it on the site, but FAKKU! does have a Facebook page dedicated to the site. You can find the FAKKU! Facebook page here. I only mention it because I just added a bunch of photos from this convention and a few others that we have attended. So those are available to look at if you're interested.

Did anyone notice the insanely large amount of vampire knight cosplayers
and a surprising amount of people cosplaying as Chii
EDIT:the only thing that made me somewhat sadface was that there was nothing related to K-On there

All in all it was a wicked time. Hopefully I'll be able to get Otakon set up so we can have more fun in July.
Unfortunately, most of my time was spent behind the camera, so there aren't many pics with me actually in them. I'll be sure to change that next time. But here are some of the awesome pictures I got. I need to take more next time.
<3 FMP, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw none other than Bonta-kun there.
Didn't have too much money at my disposal, so didn't end up with nearly as much stuff as I wanted. I did get a couple posters and a PPD wallscroll that's not in that pic.
I like taking pictures of tall buildings. I have no idea which one this is.
