Meet Local Legends: HS Cosplay & Weeb Palace

June 21, 2023

It’s the first official day of summer and we are celebrating here at PopCult Anime Con with some guest announcements!

First up are our cosplay guests, the twin brothers and actual scientists Hatake & Sahara of HS Cosplay! These two have been burning up the local cosplay masquerade circuit most recently taking home awards at Anime NYC 2021, Another Anime Con 2022 and Anime Boston 2023. Their panel content is sure to wow showcasing the scientific side of cosplay and educating anyone interested in becoming a more competitive cosplayer. INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK

Next up is Weeb Palace, a six-member troupe who have been presenting workshops and panels at conventions since 2009! These entertainers and educators have built a huge resume of fandom deep-dives, how-to classes, and fascinating histories through the years. Their  Anime Openings that SLAP! panel was a huge hit at PCAC in both 2019 and 2022, so we’re pleased as punch to pay it forward by bringing them on as featured panelists this year!

What Are People Saying About PopCult Anime Con?

One of my Favorite Cons!

December 1, 2024

This con has come such a long way from its early days, it’s so based in community and brining joy and uplifting to its attendees. Every staff member I interact with is always so helpful, the offerings of panels and events during the con is so accessible and fun. It’s basically everything you’d want from a small community con in a growing atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend it more! Give it a try!

PopCult was the convention that made me love conventions!

December 1, 2024

I used to dislike conventions, but PopCult was my first anime convention back in 2022 (I went for a friends birthday), and the kind staff and fun events made me absolutely love conventions instead! The attendees are always so kind, and there’s always something fresh and exciting to do there each year! I plan to come back for many, many years!

This is the best convention for beginners! I started going in 2022 and will continue every year! The people and staff are always so sweet and like a huge family

An amazing convention with wonderful staff and friends

December 11, 2024

I personally love these smaller conventions, and with it being my first time at Popcult, it had such a great atmosphere to it. I was lucky enough to be the MC for the masquerade, and getting to work with the stage and tech staff was a great experience. The staff is great to be around, and it’s actually very easy to make friends at the con, and you will probably see them at other cons as well. Go for the entire weekend of a great end of summer convention!
