Anime Boston

The Programming schedule for Anime Boston 2011 is now available here.

Please remember that there may be adjustments in the run up to and during the convention. Please check the online schedule often for the latest version, as well as the Con Chowda newsletter each morning at the convention.

Air AND Kanon, playing at the same time, same day, and same length, not to mention that early? You guys are evil.


Also, where is the comedy overflow?

It's there, it's listed as: AMV Fun/Upbeat/Other/Comedy Overflow

Very odd. I "CTRL + F" ed it and it was never caught. Tried it again, and now it is there.

There was a typo in comedy, it's been fixed. -_^

Ah, haha, well, doesn't that figure. Anywho, looks good. I always look forward to this schedule coming out, but always fear it at the same time.

Also, seeing the Stereopony concert so late at night, and after the Masquerade. Never saw that happen before, I think. Might make it easier to see the concert for me.

Oh no! You have the concerts late at night right in the middle of all the 18+ events.

I know the schedule is a complicated thing and it can't be helped...

Yes, we have a large number of concerts this year, and with them comes setup times, sound checks, and we're also doing masquerade rehearsals this year and they all need the same room.

We also want to provide as well rounded an event as we can.

I personally think a fun concert will work quite well as All ages programming oppositie our 18+ events.

Is there Thursday Night Badge pickup again this year? If so what are the times?

(I didn't see it on the Hours of Operation)

As listed on the registration page, Thursday pick up is 4pm - 10pm Pre-registered members ONLY.

I'll make sure it gets added to this listing as well.

Thank god. I was scared there wouldn't b the thurs pre reg pick up either.

Not evil.. I assure you that where I place anime is quasi-random based on rating. I could be more evil and put them after midnight.. }:|
Just please check back often because things can change.

In theory you are 100% correct. It just doesn't work well for someone like ME that wants to go to both :p

But, it's not Dani-Con so it can't be all about what I want either LOL.

I understand the issue with scheduling the room/setup as well. Just unfortunate for me!

And I will be checking super often for changes because I am on here super often anyway ^^;

Well, I watched both, so missing either doesn't matter really, but it is still evil regardless. ):<.... Also, I AM a nighthawk, so times don't matter to me.

I like the nifty sorting feature you put up this year so we can view events by category. That makes it easier to find things in the schedule. =)

Interesting counter-programming choices and event timings.

will this schedule eventually have weather a video is dubbed or subbed or is that not going to be disclosed until the con?

Click on the video's block on the schedule. It will take you to a details section of it, and include the Audio format (sub or dub).

Unfortunate STEREOPONY typo in the announcement. D:

Thanks for the schedule though!

One more question. Cons i've been to in the past do 18+ wristbands, will there be something like that here or is there going to be someone at the door checking IDs before and during events

Anime Boston always checks IDs before 18+ events.

I just noticed there are two fanfic panels. Mine on Sunday and one on Saturday. I'm a little apprehensive about this since if everyone attends the one on Saturday, they might not feel like attending mine on Sunday.

I also saw there were two Satoshi Kon panels on the schedule. I guess it's better than some years when there's been like five Evangelion panels...

*sees Ga Rei Zero in schedule*

I'm going to explode in Joy, over there! -points somewhere and flees-

Nice schedule, looking like there's going to be plenty to do.

General rule is that if there is a dub track, that is the default, but there are exceptions. Chris is correct, click on the show and it will say if it is dub or sub.

Picking panels is difficult. I'm somewhat limited by what panels people apply for, so if everyone applies to do an Eva panel, there will be lots of Eva panels, for example. I do try to avoid duplicate panels, but it's not always easy.

I understand. I was surprised because I did not see anything in the forums that said someone other than myself wanted to do a fanfiction panel.
