Anime Boston 2006 returned to the Hynes Convention Center and presented the first Kaiju Big Battel performance to ever be held at an anime convention. Due to limited availability at the convention center, Anime Boston moved to Memorial Day weekend and was now scheduled on the same weekend as other anime conventions for the first time, including two of the other ten largest anime conventions in the country. That didn't affect attendance and a record 9,354 people still made their way to Anime Boston that weekend, firmly establishing Anime Boston as the largest anime convention in the northeast.
