The Flashship Event of NEAS is Anime Boston, a three day convention held every Spring in Boston, Massachusetts. Anime Boston celebreates Japanese pop-culture and society including anime, manga, J-Pop, J-Rock, and live action Japanese media. The convention also presents aspects of Japanese history and traditional culture, thus encouraging people to develop a more well-rounded perspective. NEAS has also participated in First Night Boston, the nation's oldest and longest running New Year's celebreation. Each year has been a prime opportunity to reach out to the public and introduce them to Japanese animation and pop-culture. As NEAS plans for the future, we look to continue and expand our endeavours. Please check our website often for updates and announcements.
