- Check us out at @animeboston.bsky.social! We are so excited to be back here! We are located right in front of Artists' Alley! We will be here the whole weekend!! Come pick up some pins + stickers!
- Guess what!? Tora-Con dates :)
- Thank you for attending Tora-Con 2025, this marks our post-con wrapup! We want to respond to feedback and improve our convention for attendees, but there are some things out of our control. Give the “Why Can’t Tora-Con?” page a read to find any answers you looking for!
- We’ve focused on all these different aspects of Tora-Con, but what's the most important thing of all? Our attendees!
- While we weren't able to get too many photos (hint hint) of our events and panels, here are some captured moments of the J-Rock band Stackke, our Karaoke event, and the Asian Dance Showcase! PS. Want a certain panel at Tora-Con but can’t seem to find it? We want YOU to host it :)
- Now, for the part that everyone's most excited for… the Artist Alley and Vendors! Or maybe our wallets fear it the most– either way, we had an amazing selection of artists and vendors this year. We hope your conhauls were as fun as our own staffs’ hauls!
- What kind of con would we be without any cosplayers? Here are several highlights! Our staff loved being on the lookout to see if anyone's cosplayed our favorite characters :D
- Surprise, we have even more photos of our lovely guests! Please send extra love to our cosplay guests, EarlCrayTea, ChibiTifa, Lutavia, and Starfall Blade for hosting and judging our Cosplay Contest, and the Chalk Twins for bringing impressive artwork to Tora-Con year after year.
- Thank you everyone for joining us for Tora-Con 2025! Follow along as we post memories from the con weekend, starting off with our amazing VA guests at their signing tables! AJ Beckles (@ajbecklesbvo.bsky.social) Zeno Robinson (@childishgamzeno.bsky.social) Matthew David Rudd (@sonofrudd.com)
- 😯 It's been roughly a week since Tora-Con 2025! It's a bit late, but here are some of our staff con hauls from the various artists/vendors from the Dealer's Room! What did y'all buy? 🧐 🤫 pssst stay tuned for some more special posts!
