Title: Guests I Want For Fanime 2014!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Nina Star 9 on June 08, 2013, 09:21:46 AM
It's that time again!!

Pretty much the same rules as always!

- Post a variety of types of guests (though there is a MusicFest guests thead (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,18708.0.html))
- Speaking of which, please post MusicFest guests actually in the MusicFest thread (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,18708.0.html)! Since it's a different department, that's the easiest way to get them to see your suggestions
- Post guests that Fanime realistically has a chance of bringing out (so no one too big or too expensive or too obscure or too dead or too broken up or that doesn't actually do appearances, etc.)
- Post guests that people will actually want to see
- You can post your ~dream guests~, but keep in mind that not everyone is suitable as a guest for Fanime (so note it in your post if it is less realistic and don't get into fights over whether a guest is reasonable or not -- civil discussion of the suitability of a guest, fine, "OMG U HAV 2 BRING OUT MALICE MIZER U SUXXORZ IF U HATE ON THEM  >:( >:( >:(" is not)

Have fun~~!

Yes, we are up to 9 exclamation points for 9 years of this thread!
Wow I've been in these forums a long time!


Music Fest guest suggestions belong in this thread (http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,18708.0.html), not here, as they are separate departments. Thanks!

I would love to have Miyu Matsuki as a guest. My dream guests would be Kenjiro Hata and/or Kōsuke Fujishima, but I don't know if they even do appearances, especially in the US.

I would love to see: Kunihiko Ikuhara, Yuki Kajiura (with or without the rest of Kalafina, could be a musical guest!!), Chiwa Saito, Misuzu Togashi, Shizuka Furuya, Kazuaki Morita, and/or Lily Hoshino!

I wonder if it were possible to setup a poll... where everyone could add to options and edit their ballets... that'd be quite efficient.

For the record, Mark Hildreth or Scott McNeil

I'd like Kamui Cosplay to be invited for a workshop on making cosplay. She is one of the best cosplayers out there and she's been interested to coming to the US to do some kind of workshop but there has never been enough interest. Her work can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/KamuiCos

also Rikki Simons (Voice of Gir), if HyperCon was able to get him, Fanime should have no problem. He's an absolutely amazing guy and I was a little sad seeing him not have much to do at such a tiny con, literally the size of a gym, on his birthday last year.

I, for one would love to see Vic Mignogna or Johnny Yong Bosch at Fanime '14. They are two of my favorite voice actors. X3
And also an "Original Character workshop". The idea is to work with other people, or by yourself, on an "original character". I have been making my own character for a while now for stories and roleplay. It can be completely unique or it can be based off any anime. The point is to make your own character with its own personality, backstory, appearance, weapons, abilities, etc. Its a great way to be creative and its so much fun.
Title: Re: Guests I Want For Fanime 2014!!!!!!!!!

I also second Kana Hanazawa (http://myanimelist.net/people/185/Kana_Hanazawa) as guest for Fanime 2014 :3

Aoi Yuuki (http://myanimelist.net/people/6686/Aoi_Yuuki), Ai Kayano (http://myanimelist.net/people/10765/Ai_Kayano) and Aki Toyosaki (http://myanimelist.net/people/599/Aki_Toyosaki) for guest would be great too.

Post by: Gabbyeva54 on September 01, 2013, 07:27:33 PM
Hello guys, I just wanted to make a suggestion for a guest I would want to see.

J. MICHAEL TATUM.

He is seriously my role idol, it would be great to see him here, and lots of people love him, and who he voice acts. I think he would be a great addition to the Fanime 2014 guest list, please consider him? c:

So I heard about these amateur voice actors, and they all work for the same production studio, which comes out with a bunch of cool fandubs and stuff.

http://crystaldreamproductions.webs.com/: Crystal Dream Productions has been around since 2008, and they work with actors such as Whitney Jay, Matthew Garland, Bryce Buckley, and many others. Here is what they posted on their web-site.

Welcome to Crystal Dream. We are home to a multitude of VA talent and we hope you enjoy your stay. Our services include finding you workshops, companies to work for, and even how to contact your local union office in your state. Unfortunately we are not able to assist those outside of the United States. Be sure to check back to see if our policies have changed! We may even be coming to your state to hire you as one of our crew and become part of the Spectrum Experience!

Right now, we are new, and rather small, but our dream is to grow and expand so one day we can buy rights to anime and produce it to the public while also being able to hire, and someday pay, the amazing talent we sign on to be a part of Crystal Dream. Crystal Dream right now is taking submissions from all kinds of voice actors, and while we may be only doing fandubs and small stuff now, we hope you will still join up with us. We'd love to have all of you!

So I think it would be cool to have them there! :D

+1 for Crystal Dream Productions.

 I think it would be awesome to have Crystal Dream Productions come out and showcase a panel of awesome tips and tricks on amateur voice acting and even professional voice acting too. So if you guys want to have these guys come out and show you all what there made of? Then I think you should invite them.
Title: Re: Guests I Want For Fanime 2014!!!!!!!!!
Post by: sysadmin on September 15, 2013, 09:11:28 PM
Well, two people both post identical text promoting their voice acting website.

That's a little suspicious

Well when four posts (seemingly) from different users (each with that being the one and only post for that accout) all support the same VA website and the first and forth post do it with the exact same text, there is something suspicious....Not sure editing the text to be different will change that.....

I see what you mean and again i do apologize for that. Though what i trying to say is that i'm trying to help my friend who VOWhitneyJay (who posted the original idea of having Crystal dream Productions come to fanime next year) get the team out to Fanime since we are apart of the same group itself. I didn't mean to post the same thing even though that won't change it, no matter what I do, and I know about the mistake I made. Just please don't take this the wrong way? and thin that were doing anything suspicious cause truly were not trying, nor have the will to so so.

I would love to see Reika! She's a Japanese cosplayer and attends many cosplay events throughout Asia. This year she will be a guest at Anime Matsuri in Texas.
You can view her cosplays here: http://worldcosplay.net/member/87/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reika/315573555144954

Seconding Reika!  Her cosplays are just so well crafted and gorgeous to boot.

Daisuke Ono would be amazing to have as well.  I love how he can change his voice and atmosphere for so many characters.

And Wit Studio!  I'd love to hear from the director on some of their choices for Attack on Titan.  (As an added bonus, having Isayama there would be crazy amazing!)

Third vote for REIKA!!!


She's very different from most Cosplay Guests in America because of her crossplaying and theatrical approach, and she is wildly successful in the industry *because* of it!!

Count me in for Reika!!

I think this user has great taste. I agree with all three of their suggestions. Reika is pretty amazing as is Mr. Ono. I think the convention center might explode from all the attendees if the director for SnK showed up. It may not be realistic, but hey, when you dream, dream big!

Another vote for Reika, even doubly awesome if Kaname would come with her.
Also hoping for Yuegene (cosplayer) and Touya Hibiki (cosplayer) (though unlikely? haha)

A vote for Miyano Mamoru (voice actor, singer)!

Someone connected or previously connected with Gainax other than Hiroyuki Yamaga. Sadamoto would be off the chart but other than Hideaki Anno who I doubt would come, I'm open. Also the guys who left and founded Trigger.

I was wondering too, has Fanime ever had eroge or hentai manga/anime staff show up? E.g. Toshio Maeda last year was at Big Wow the week before at the SJCC and later showed up at AX.

Oh, seconding Kanon Wakeshima! I've been a big fan since her debut with "Still Doll." She's produced by Mana (of Malice Mizer fame), and has modeled/collabed with Baby the Stars Shine Bright and Volks :D she also collabs with the bassist from An Cafe (who was at Fanime in 2008), also named Kanon.
