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!

While I would love to have Momo-i back, I think it'd be fantastic to have Momoiro Clover Z. Since they've done the themes to Mouretsu/Bodaciious Pirates and will be doing a theme (or both) for (BS)SM'13, that'd make quite a bit of sense. Their style also reminds me a bit of Psycho le Cému, which is even better for an anime-oriented crowd.

The only group I can think of is Sid, but I don't feel like that's very doable.

Oh, and Hyadain would be interesting if that'd be possible.
