<\/a><\/p>\nThe location has remained the same over the years as the Hynes Convention Center hasn\u2019t changed much over the years.\u00a0 This location is located near various T-stops and has several hotels in the area for those coming from out of town.\u00a0 There are several food locations around the area as well making this a good location for the event.\u00a0 However, the layout of the Hynes is not newbie friendly and while it does have more than enough room for everyone it can be a pain to navigate.\u00a0 Getting to the 5th<\/sup> floor of the hotel for the other panel and video rooms is a bit of a trip as well due to the very long waits for the elevator.\u00a0 Nothing can be done to fix these issues, but they are things to keep in mind when choosing Anime Boston as your next convention adventure.<\/p>\n The panel line up was very robust as it tends to be at Anime Boston.\u00a0 I was rarely disappointed with a panel and there were enough things happening each day to keep me busy.\u00a0 My main gripe with panels at Anime Boston is that the panels are not staggered right.\u00a0 The panel rooms at the Sheraton and in the convention center often have panels that begin at the same time.\u00a0 Panels in those areas are staggered, but it should be set up where the hard to reach Sheraton panels are at a different time than the convention center panels so that there is time to get from one to the other.\u00a0 At this time you will need to just make choices with your panels because the staggering rarely will help you make it between two panel rooms if they are far away.<\/p>\n Beyond the panel line up there was still plenty of things to do at the convention.\u00a0 There were several concerts and cosplay gatherings to help take up all your time at the convention.\u00a0 Everything is run well and there is rarely ever a complaint or major problem with the events list.\u00a0 The dealer hall and artist alley were both up to standard.\u00a0 The artist alley had a great variety of booths with everything from pictures to crafts.\u00a0 The dealer hall was a great way to spend some time and money as there was enough booths to appeal to nearly any interest.\u00a0 To top it off the game room was packed with a great mix of games.\u00a0 From rhythm games and racing games to fighting games and shooters there was something for everyone in the room.\u00a0 It was fun to check out the game room, but it was always packed making it difficult to navigate and hard to get a chance to play at times.\u00a0 Due to the sheer volume of secondary things to do at Anime Boston the convention will never leave you bored.<\/p>\n One of the things that makes Anime Boston so memorable is the vibe of the event.\u00a0 You can really tell that the staff and the attendees both love this event.\u00a0 From the effort they put into the theming to the sheer amount of cosplay games and events there is so much energy put into this event and it shows.\u00a0 The attendees tend to be polite and friendly, but there are a few bad apples.\u00a0 In fact, this was the first year where I didn\u2019t have any issues with anyone.\u00a0 That being said, Anime Boston might just be the stinkiest convention in the country.\u00a0 There is no walk I made around the event without smelling some of the worst body order I\u2019ve ever come across.\u00a0 At least the staff does inform people of this problem, but it doesn\u2019t seem to do much.\u00a0 Overall, good people and a great staff make a fun event, but hopefully people will learn how to bathe before next year.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
