...Yes, we gain an exclamation point every year. :D


This is one of those annual threads for people to post their ideal guests. You can post "dream guests," but just keep in mind that we won't be getting anything too crazy ("I want Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Utada Hikaru for Musicfest, and then I want...").


My vote is still for Amano Tsukiko. I stand by my position that she is perfect for this convention, and I am sure that even if people hadn't heard her music before the con, they would end up loving her by the end.

...JiLL-Decoy association or Paris Match wouldn't be too bad, either... We could always use more jazz at Musicfest.

I also wouldn't be too sad if some lolita designers were brought out, but I don't know of any names or how realisitic that is.

I'm hoping for the Gainax/Gurren Lagann guests who couldn't come this year because they were working on the movie.

Some guests:

- Any voice actors from Evangelion, both Japanese and English versions. In fact Tiffany Grant (Asuka's VA) Has been to many conventions in the U.S. I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch to ask her to come, and Asuka is my favorite anime character.

- Riyoko Ikeda, the mangaka of Rose of Versailles.

- Tommy February 6

- Anyone who was involved in Tenchi Muyo! Voice actors (dub sub) mangaka, directors, this is one of my favorites so I would love to meet anyone who created it.

Yes, I know that many of these might be far fetched, but I did get to meet Yoshiyuki Sadamoto this year, and this is kind of a wish list so I thought I'd put it out there.

Bring VA's from a 13 year old series? Why? It's time for you to look past these old series and realize... there's 323242352354366 new things to watch that are current.

Tommy Feb would be impossible. With Brilliant Green getting back together, and their scheduled dates, unless she somehow gets Brilliant Green to do a tour date in the US... it'd be impossible. Though I'd probably like to see Brilliant Green more than Tommy Heavenly 6.


Eh... guests for next year.

Too bad Elle is on hiatus still.

Industry wise, I would like to see people from studio Shaft. Despite what anyone thinks of quality wise, direction wise they do things that most studios would never have the balls to do. And you know everyone at SHAFT is a total nerd.

VA wise, I always list the same set of people so I won't bother with that.

And... this one would be interesting but unlikely. Jun Tsukasa. Most people know who Range Murata is. Jun Tsukasa is sort of... a shadow of Murata. They have extremely similar art styles(and always have) but two very different ranges in subject and thought matter. I love Tsukasa Bullet. Tsukasa gets virtually no recognition in the US, and when people do have Tsukasa merchandise, it USUALLY gets confused for Murata Range stuff (I personally heard it twice this year at Fanime). They're actually friends and they've worked on doujinshi together, but they're very competitive with each other. I actually called Range Murata, Jun Tsukasa, and asked him to sign one of Tsukasa's doujinshi. It pissed him off a lot, and I apologized for it. He did say something afterwards though "Now I know how he feels".

I honestly like Tsukasa's work better than Murata's as Tsukasa is more versatile with his character types and poses. I think he'd be a great guest though... if he's not too shy about it all.

Well isn't SHAFT a spin off from GAINAX?

Actually it would be awesome to have them here, I figured by next year somebody will have Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei + Zoku licensed. Hmm that would be a very nice mix of peeps from
both companies.

And yeah we all need more SZS!

As much as I would absolutely love Sound Horizon to come to the US... this is not going to happen. Sound Horizon is basically a digital opera. No one would get it, no one would understand it, and no one would appreciate it.

Besides the fact that I doubt they would even come.
