Walking around Boston – from the Common to Mass Ave – characters had invaded the Hub. They weren't the usual Saturday afternoon cast: tourists strapped with cameras and children, or Red Sox fans in full attire getting ready for the evening game. Boston Anime 2006 took over the Hynes Convention Center for the weekend, spilling out on more that one occasion into the Pru and Copley Malls before taking in some of the sights and sounds of Boston. Today's video is the un-documentary documentary of the event. Some video and stills intermixed. Lots more costumes and wild events can be found all over the internets – anywhere you can tag be on the lookout for animeboston. Next year the convention hits the Hub in April.
