I'd love to see Tohru Furuya return again. We're big Kimagure Orange Road fans, but we missed out on seeing him because I came down with a bad case of major headache and had to go home early :(
2012 Costumes (or so we hope!)
Ayukawa, Miime, Oscar, Yuria, D'Eon

I would also like to see other types of japanese VAs because as I have seen from other post a lot of the VAs in the States do come to sac anime a lot, some too many times to think of. I would also like to meet creators of some mangas. Fanime needs something fresh because otherwise its just going to turn into a boring convention.

Just wanted to chime in to say that seiyuu are among the most difficult guests to get. It doesn't really help that FanimeCon is at the end of May when recording for spring series are in full swing and most seiyuu are busy.

Having the KHR(KAtekyo Hitman Reborn) voice actors!(preferably Takashi Kondo) but any voice actors from the series would be beyond amazing!

Hi! Is it okay if we have some Kpop artists that are Jpop artists now too come? Ex: 2PM- they sang the ending song for Aoi no Exorcist (Take off)
I'd also love to see Horikita Maki, Nana Mizuki, Yui Makino, Se7en (he also debuted as Jpop artist so?????), Hayao Miyazaki, Itou, Kanae, Nakamura Yuuichi, Himeka, Utada, Perfume, SPHERE, teppei koike <3 ya.... PLEASE! I would really love Fanimecon forever if 2PM came <3!!! Thank you!

Since Fanime seems to have had a very small amount of English VAs as guests, I think it would be great to invite a couple for Fanime2012!

I suggest Joe Hisaishi..even though he is a composer/musician, I'm not sure he would count as a "music guest"..? I say that because if he was a Guest of Honor, I would just love to hear him speak about his life and career as well as working with Hayao Miyazaki.
He has worked with him in his films a lot, and is just an amazing musician. ;u;

^I second that! :)

Even though most people want Japanese voice actors and musicians, it would be nice to have English VAs as guests!

I was really stoked that Kia Asamiya came this year. I would love to see artists and seiyus whose works are "older" (i.e. 10+ years) come out if possible.

I'd love to see some English voice actors.  Especially Jay Michael Tatum or Todd Haberkorn.  I'm sure some people think they're over-conned, but they seem like amazing people and are really passionate about their jobs.  They're also fantastic with the fans.

I feel like there should be more manga-ka at cons. Voice actors/seiyuu are always an obvious one, but I think manga-ka technically don't get enough representation and love (at least here). It'd also be really nice to see more designers, (art) directors and especially writers. Maybe even lite novel writers might be nice!

Just chiming in for a sec, but keep in mind that mangaka have deadlines and set monthly schedules.
