Anime Boston 2025 - Furry Invasion!
4 months ago
Well, a long four months after Anthro New England, I went to my next convention I usually go to: Anime Boston! But this year, I noticed there seemed to be more furries attending than usual! At times it felt close to being like an actual furry con, especially since there's a fairly large LGBTQ crowd here. At one point yesterday I even accidentally referred to this con as "Anthro New England!" But this year, it's been ten years since I started attending Anime Boston, having been bitten by the Boston convention bug at the first Anthro New England in 2015 led to me wanting to fursuit at another con there and being pleasantly surprised by having a great time there. And I'm glad I am keeping it going...
Coming off the heels of solving Copley's disappearance at Anthro New England 2025's Staggering Case, I still went here in the role of Sam Valentino, Private Toon Detective, just in case I run into another mystery! Plus, given Sam Valentino is kind of my "breakout character" on my YouTube channel and my social media, why not?
Also, this was the first con I attended where I brought my iPhone 14, and as such, it was a lot easier to use when wearing Sam Valentino's handpaws compared to my 2nd-gen iPhone SE with its haptic-touch home button being incompatible with said paws and the screen also overall being better-responsive to gloves.
You can see my full con report here, with some more pics I haven't uploaded here!

So overall, I had a pretty fun time capering around Anime Boston, and its being on Memorial Day Weekend this year meant I could attend on Sunday as well (since on Easter Sunday my dad and brother want us to do our annual family portrait that day). Next year it's back on Easter weekend, and also a week before Furcationland in Maine! Once I have a good-paying computer tech job again, I should be going to that convention as well! (Anime Boston is actually my least-expensive con I go to, as I don't stay at the con's hotel or park anywhere, and I rarely buy anything from their Artist's Alley and Dealer's Room.)
