Spring is here, which means convention season is back, and AMC Networks’ HIDIVE is once again hauling a truckload of anime into Boston for Anime Boston 2026. From April 3–5, the streaming service plans to run a three-day barrage of premieres, panels, and guest appearances, all included with a convention badge. The spring lineup they’re showing off includes Petals of Reincarnation, Farming Life in Another World 2, The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2, Yowayowa Sensei, and newly announced pickup Kirio Fan Club, which sounds like the name of a club you accidentally join in high school and can never escape.
Day one, April 3, starts with an encore screening of The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie, followed by North American premieres of Last Boss Queen Season 2 and Yowayowa Sensei. Day two keeps the schedule packed with a dub panel for Farming Life in Another World 2, the premiere of Kirio Fan Club, another premiere for Farming Life in Another World 2 with guests in attendance, and a world premiere of Petals of Reincarnation with a behind-the-scenes talk, because no anime event is complete without at least one producer explaining how tired everyone was while making it.
The whole thing wraps up on Sunday with a special dub screening of HELL MODE: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing, which sounds less like a title and more like someone describing their last online match.
Anime Boston 2026 attendees are encouraged to use the hashtag #HIDIVEAB in their social posts about any of HIDIVE’s events.
