Patron Exclusive: Photos From Anime Boston 2003
Added 2019-04-09 14:03:07 +0000 UTCSo, I never expected to find these again. Like... ever. I was going through the file tree for Anime Dream's site, mostly to see what I could post to the old AD Twitter account. And, well... I found a bunch of old photos from Anime Boston 2003. The very first year was held at Boston's Park Plaza Hotel, and it was.... it was something special! These were originally published in a Media Spotlight, titled "Cosplay Critters Invasion!", which was my first-ever "on assignment" piece - it was awful, so I won't be publishing that here, but I am just amazed that I found these photos. They had been pretty much scrubbed from the internet, and most of what existed was just thumbnails! :0
Apologies in advance - these are super grainy and bad, but, well... they're also a valuable part of the subculture's history, as they are a visual record of the first year for what's become one of the largest conventions in North America.
