New England Anime Society

New England Anime Society

The New England Anime Society, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to furthering American understanding of Japanese language and culture through written and visual media. Founded in 2001, The New England Anime Society, Inc. is the parent organization of Anime Boston,[1] one of the largest anime conventions in North America.[2]

At Anime Boston 2007, the New England Anime Society announced that they would be starting Providence Anime Conference in the fall of 2008. It will be the first 21+ anime con that does not focus on the "adult" aspect of anime and manga.[3]

In addition to anime conventions, The New England Anime Society has also provided assistance with other events such as running anime screenings at First Night Boston,[4] costume contests at Tokyo Kid in Harvard Square, and anime screenings at the Belmont Film Festival in Belmont, Massachusetts and Sudbury Day in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
