Isekai Comic Release & AMV Contest Opens

June 1, 2023

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE! 🏳️‍⚧️ PopCult Anime Con is a queer-owned and operated convention, with the convention founder and many of our staff  under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. Come party with us at the 2nd annual Waltham Pride this Saturday, June 3rd on the Waltham Common! We’ll be bringing out our popular sand art table as well as giving out free rainbow stickers, dice, and other fun accessories.

Eagle-eyed fans have already noticed the theme for this year’s PopCult Anime Con is Isekai! What is Isekai? It’s a subgenre of anime and fantasy fiction where the hero is displaced from home and transported to another world, think InuYasha or Alice in Wonderland. At PCAC23, we’re inviting you to get swept up in adventure with Summer, Wacky and friends – literally!

Follow our mascots on their journey by keeping up with comic releases and arrive at PCAC23 ready to help bring them home! Keep an eye on the official theming page for comic updates, special event reveals and themed contests!

Something else is going Isekai for 2023, and that’s a special category in the AMV Contest! Submissions for all six categories are open now through July 31st! For AMV Contest rules and application link, click here.

And don’t forget about Cosplay Chat next Wednesday June 7th, 6:30-8pm EST on the official PopCult Anime Con Discord server!
