On behalf of our amazing Relations Director, Miss Paige, here is the Guest Request Thread for 2012!

Some things to remember when making requests:

-Not all guests are available, or feasible for Kumoricon!
Dream big but please understand we work within a tight budget and while we love everyone, we can't always get them!

-Do not try and cheat the system to give your favorites more "points".
While we do want to know who has the most buzz, we don't always pick people based on the number of "votes" they get. There are so many factors that go into choosing our guests!

-Please stay positive with your support.
Negative comments about other peoples picks, or people in general are not tolerated on the convention forums and will be deleted. Plus, you wouldn't want your mean attitude towards other guest options to tarnish your picks reputation!

Basically, just be respectful, and have fun. Dreaming about guests to bring to con is something we all love doing, so lets get to it!

>w> Gunna go out there and dream big and recommend Quinton Flynn.

@random · « **Reply #2 on:** December 27, 2011, 11:44:04 am »

Here's my ridiculously big dream: Ayako Kawasumi

_{(I know it'll never happen for our con, but I hope she does come back to America some day.)}

Seriously, I do hope we can get a Japanese industry guest or two for our tenth year... but I know even that would be a major coup for the con, let alone one of the biggest names among voice actors.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #3 on:** December 27, 2011, 01:00:43 pm »

Voice Actors:
Crispin Freeman
Cynthia Martinez
Wendee Lee
Stephanie Sheh
Eric Stuart
Tara Strong - Forgot one!

Musicians:
The Slants
Leet Street Boys

Lady In Red · « **Reply #4 on:** December 27, 2011, 01:06:29 pm »

Also going to dream big:
Crispin Freeman : 3
and/or Victoria Harwood

VampireFangs103 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 27, 2011, 01:19:50 pm »

>w< I second Tara Strong, Eric Stuart, and Crispin Freeman. lol

Blizzara Dragon · « **Reply #6 on:** December 27, 2011, 02:50:49 pm »

Some that immediately come to my mind are Tara Strong, Johnny Yong Bosch, Travis Willingham, Laura Bailey, and Michelle Ruff. If any of these guys were guests for Kumoricon I'd be ecstatic lol

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #7 on:** December 27, 2011, 04:10:06 pm »

Greg ayres please!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #8 on:** December 27, 2011, 05:32:13 pm »

If Tara Strong came I'd wait in line overnight to see her, no exaggeration.

Otherwise it'd be really cool to get some Japanese fashion guests, I know 6%DokiDoki went to Sakuracon last year and Angelic Pretty does some West Coast events!

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #9 on:** December 28, 2011, 03:16:28 pm »

I have to agree with Wa-kun, I want Cynthia Martinez.
When she did come to kcon I was still very new to the anime convention scene and went to very few panels.

also there is no way this could happen but there's this cosplay group over on the easy side of the country called, "Last Chance Myu" They cosplay form the Sailor Moon musicals and put on shows. Here's their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/Last.Chance.Myu

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #10 on:** December 28, 2011, 08:45:13 pm »

I'm going to go with my usual fallback and ask for Jamieson Price.

Su Lu · « **Reply #11 on:** December 28, 2011, 10:26:19 pm »

Bring Todd Haberkorn back again!!
Just that would be enough.

But I'll dream
If possible it'd be awesome if...
Vic Mignogna
J. Micheal Tatum
Colleen Clinkenbeard
Micah Solusod
Brittney Karbowski
Caitlin Glass
Jason Liebrecht
Luci Christian
or
Maxie Whitehead
could come.

Maiku · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2011, 12:18:43 am »

I had the good fortune and privilege of meeting Sonny Strait at Anime Oasis earlier this year. Following that con, I started following him on facebook. He is an amazing talent, and more importantly he is amazing to his fans. I really think it would be a great addition to the convention if you guys could bring him to Kumoricon in 2012.

I also think the programming of COO-IE is amazing at any convention I've been to with them, and think it's worth looking into bringing them as guests.

Finally as a musical guest, Warky T. Chocobo. He is funny and talented. His music is really good, and his late night Yaoi Christmas songs were funny as heck after hours at Akicon.

Thanks.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #14 on:** December 30, 2011, 01:02:34 am »

My fiancee agrees on the Sonny Straight idea.

JaegerDarkness · « **Reply #19 on:** December 30, 2011, 08:14:23 pm »

I'm gonna "GO!!!" out on a limb and say, that I would ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY be unable to contain myself, if I found out that you (by some extreme miracle) managed to book FLOW (the Japanese band) for Kumoricon 2012.

fluffpuffgerbil · « **Reply #20 on:** December 31, 2011, 12:15:58 am »

Vic Mignogna... I've always wanted to meet him.

Grey Ayeres(sp?XD) Voice of Kaoru Hitachiin from OHSHC(I DID get the right VA right?)

Chuck Huber!!!!! I JUST LOVE HIS VOICE. (I want his voice for one of my OCs...)

And yeah.

Though I'm happy with a lot of different Funimation people. But those three are the first that came to mind.

Although I have a lot more suggestions for guests, I also third Wendee Lee for hopefully attending next year! And Crispin Freeman too.

That and also I would like to see BOTH Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and her husband Daran Norris(he's also a dub VA) for the con too(Hearing Daran's dub voice on the 4th season of Digimon is what got me interested in both anime cons and voice actors in the first place!)!

Greg Ayres (He did Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers)
Travis Willingham (list too long to state)
Chuck Huber (Kululu)
Kyle Hebert (The Epic Narrator of Epicness)
J Micheal Tatum (Amitav in Sasami Magical Girls Club)
Luci Christian (Kosuna from Desert Punk)

And if he was doing Conventions again: Chris Patton

And from Sonny Strait himself, he says he would love to return to Kumoricon again someday. And he loved the Sake and Chocolate in his gift basket >.>

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #32 on:** January 03, 2012, 11:05:46 pm »

I'm up for Greg Ayres or Luci Christian possibly comming to our convention!

Also, I second Chuck Huber. Who does'nt love a yellow frog who's possibly more insane than either Professor Farnsworth or Mayuri Kurotsuchi?

As far as VAs go:

Greg Ayres

Aaaand that's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure I'll be editing this list in time.

Lanime08 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:47:30 pm »

I would REALLY love to meet anyone who VAed in Soul Eater. I got to meet Todd last year and he actually told me he would like to return again this year.

Micah Solusod
Todd Haberkorn
Brittney Karbowski [because i love Black Star more than anything.]
Chris Patton [Because his voice is HNNNG!!]
... you know what.

RozenMaiden_Girl · « **Reply #38 on:** January 05, 2012, 08:01:49 pm »

Sonny Straight.... I met him at kumoricon when I cosplayed Cammy from Street Fighter.
And every time he saw me threw at the con he all ways said hi. (most of the time) and he is one of the nicest people I ever met and I would love to see him again. He really was the reason I came back to kumoricon. (I had some really bad stuff happen with family out side of con.) and meeting my favoret voice acter made me feel better. (but thats my personel reason)

Any guest is good for me, but I have my vote on him.

If we don't get Sonny, thats all ways fine with me. =3

EDIT:
I also would like any of these guest as well.
Patrick Seitz
Vic Mignogna

oceanrabbits · « **Reply #40 on:** January 06, 2012, 05:58:12 pm »

Todd Haberkorn please! He was such a blast to have last year, he'd be wonderful to see again! He's a great person, and he really makes Kumoricon even funner.

Tsukinya · « **Reply #41 on:** January 10, 2012, 11:53:51 am »

I would love to see:
Colleen Clickenbeard (Yuko, Tsubasa)
Greg Ayers (Negi, Negima)
Jerry Jewell (Kyo, Fruits Basket)

And now, I will dream REALLY big:
Hayao Miyazaki (director, Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke)
Makoto Shinkai (director, 5 Centimeters Per Second, Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in our Early Days)

I'm sure I'll think of more, but those are my top top picks

Bopie98 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 10, 2012, 12:56:36 pm »

Travis Willingham and/or Jason Liebrecht are my recommendations. I'd say Todd Haberkorn comes back, just because he's such an awesome person. I enjoyed his panels and random meetings very much ^^

Raveen92 · « **Reply #43 on:** January 15, 2012, 08:34:10 pm »

Second ^
It would be great to meet her

speaking of cosplayers that it would be great to meet, Parle productions. Yet I'm sure it's not possible. It's hard enough for them to get to metrocon.

An artist that goes by the name Sakky would be awesome as well Here's her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/animeplushie
