Anime Boston is about to get a heavy dose of HIDIVE. The streaming service returns to the annual convention from April 3-5 with its complete Spring 2026 lineup in tow—including premiere screenings, dub panels, Japanese guests, and a newly announced acquisition.
The three-day schedule covers HIDIVE’s entire spring slate, giving badge holders early looks at the season’s biggest titles.
Friday, April 3 kicks off with an encore of The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie, followed by the North American premiere of The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior Season 2 and the North American premiere of rom-com Yowayowa Sensei.
Saturday, April 4 brings the goods. The day starts with a Farming Life in Another World 2 Dub Panel featuring Blake Shepard (Hiraku) and Monica Rial (Tia). Later, HIDIVE unveils its newly acquired series Kirio Fan Club with a North American premiere, followed by the North American premiere of Farming Life in Another World 2 featuring Japanese guests Atsushi Abe (voice of Hiraku) and Producer Hiromi Sueta. The day closes with a world premiere of Petals of Reincarnation Episode 2, plus a behind-the-scenes talk with Wakana Maruoka (voice of Haito Luo Buffett) and Producer Takanori Matsuoka.
Sunday, April 5 wraps things up with a special English dub screening of HELL MODE: The Hardcore Gamer Dominates in Another World with Garbage Balancing.
The biggest reveal in HIDIVE’s programming slate is Kirio Fan Club, a new rom-com series directed by So Toyama with production by Satelight. Details are still under wraps, but its North American premiere at Anime Boston marks the first chance for fans to see what the series has to offer.
HIDIVE is making a statement with this convention lineup. Bringing Japanese guests, dub actors, and world premieres across its entire spring catalog shows the streamer doubling down on in-person fan engagement. With heavy hitters like Petals of Reincarnation and returning favorites like Last Boss Queen and Farming Life, the Spring 2026 season is shaping up to be HIDIVE’s most stacked yet.
Anime Boston attendees can catch all screenings at the Hynes Convention Center and Sheraton Boston Hotel. For those not attending, the series will stream on HIDIVE starting April 2.
