00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Anime Boston twenty twenty six is here this weekend, bringing

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: all sorts of cosplayers to mimic their favorite character from

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Japanese animation.

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 2: This is the work of many years. Every year I

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: put on like a different piece like lights or different weapon,

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: So many years of work.

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 3: I like a lot of series by My favorite, probably Bleach.

00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: He's dressed is Keunjaku from Jiu Jitsu Kaizen, a very

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: popular show that centers around curses and sorcerers. I'm told

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: the cosplays are truly what make the con what it is.

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Passing through crowds of princesses, warriors, and demons. Cosplayers are

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: often complimenting each other on sword, props, fairy makeup, you

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: name it.

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 4: I like it to be big enough, but not like

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 4: as big as like let's say Comic Con for example,

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 4: when you get so many people, it can get a

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 4: little bit crowded in costoclobec
