PCD (Post-con-depression) and I just want to hear if anyone else went to any other convention. So if your interested you can read my journal entry below to get some of the details of Anime Boston 2003...If I sound a little too excited, sorry, this was my first con and I'm still excited about everything that happened...well have fun
Dear Journal,
HOLY SHIT!!! THAT KICKED ASS!!! This has been a KICK ASS way of starting off spring break. This easer week-end I was able to attend Anime Boston 2003 (I suggest that everyone who loves anime check this place out) I heard that the staff of Anime Boston expected about 600-700 people to out but instead about 4,000 PEOPLE SHOWED UP!!!! HOT DAMN!!!! It was great, now journal I know that it may seem like I'm just raving and raving about this convention but this was my first convention and I LOVED IT!!! And for once I can let "the others" see what I'm typing and be able to give you full details. Anime Boston was a 3 day convention over Easter week-end; it was filled with tons of stuff to do. There were plenty of panels where a newbie could start to learn about the world of anime, or how to go about making your own anime web page, or anime music video. There was the gaming basement where we could play some of the hottest games like Soul Caliber 2, Halo, Dance Dance Revolution 6th Mix (Japanese version), Super Smash Brothers and other classic systems like Super SNES, Genesis, and I think there was an Atari in one corner of the room. There were also tons of people cosplaying (for people who don't know cosplaying is when you dress up like your favorite character) I say everything from Guts from Berserk to Ulala from Space Channel 5 (And I got a shot of her ^_^) Also there was an AMV contest and they ranged from newbie’s making a good effort to make an AMV in the Newbie’s Division to the Master's division where I saw some KICK ASS AMVS!!! Also I got to check out some new anime’s on the market like FLCL, DNA^2, Onegai Teacher (A.k.a Please Teacher) Blue Gender and some others. And I also found out the Bandai has just gotten licensing rights to Witch Hunter Robin!!!!!!!!!!!! It kicked ass so I suggest if you have the cash and the willingness to fly over here or if you live close to Boston stop come to Anime Boston 2004 it will be held April 9-11 but keep going to the web site for updates to the events, guests and the schedule:

P.S. The site may not be updated yet because the convention just ended a few days ago but there will be details as time goes on, and if you have the time you can even volunteer and possibly get some sweet stuff too!!!

but anyway I have a question I was just wondering did you go to the adv panel? And if so did they say anything about Neon Genesis Evangelion: Second Coming? I completely forgot about the ADV Panel because I was in the Bandai panel They got the licensing rights to Witch Hunter Robin that's sweet!!! And so far I haven't heard anything on that so if you can tell me any and everything that happened at the ADV panel that would be great. And I'd like to thank you and all who worked at the con to make it as big as it was!
