The New England Anime Society, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization focused on advancing public education and understanding of Japanese society and culture through visual and written media. Founded in 2001, the group operates as a 501(c)(3) entity that organizes events and programming to share Japanese pop culture, history, and traditional aspects with the public. Its primary activity is coordinating Anime Boston, a three-day annual convention held in Boston in the spring that brings together elements of anime, manga, J-Pop, J-Rock, and live-action media alongside broader cultural context. The organization also participates in public celebrations such as First Night Boston to reach a wider audience with information about Japanese animation and popular culture.
