Information:Anime BostonWe used "Be a part of history." as our tagline...and anyone who was at Anime Boston 2003 was truly a part of history. Not only were we New England's largest anime convention, but Anime Boston 2003 was the largest first-year anime convention ever held. According to our records, we were also the seventh largest anime convention in North America. (Who knows what other records we may have broken if we weren't asked to cap attendance?)
