Christina V
Todd Haberkorn (again we want him back)

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Could BigBang qualify as a possible and not unrealistic? Lol.
I know there not Jap, or anime, but K-Pop is pretty popular among us I would think.

[SilverThunder]

^ I think you mean "Marvel."

[Washougal_Otaku]

NATALIE HOOVER!!!

[Coconutty93]

I wanna try to convince Bryce Papenbrook to join me in the karaoke room, when he has some free time. It'd be nice to have Kirito singing Crossing Field, with me.

[nikkiolie]

If there are going to be more VA's then I would love to meet Robert McCollum 8D

[Sithicus]

Really anyone who could contribute towards a more Japanese-oriented cultural experience. I would recommend the Idols Ally and Sally; they were fantastic at Sakuracon and live in Canada so they wouldn't have to travel far.

I would love for Kumoricon to graduate to the big leagues and have guests who aren't just dub VAs. If you could get Kugimiya Rie then I would be very very happy ^^

[WalkingSpear]

Has anbody thought of inviting Olivia Munn? She not only does an awesome Wonder Woman, she also does a good Sailor Scout. Aaaaaaand.... need I say more...... big fanboy draw. C'mon people.... OLIVIA MUNN. Seriously!

[Maieusiophobia]

D. C. Douglas. That is all.

[sora_and_riku_forever_yo]

I agree with Crispin Freeman and Johnny Yong Bosch.

I would also add:

- Steve Blum
- Vic Mignogna
- Ross Campbell (comic artist)
- Svetlana Chmakova
- Svetlana Quindt (Kamui Cosplay)

Admittedly unrealistic suggestions:
- Versailles ~Philharmonic Quintet~
- Akiko Yoshida (Kokia)

I'm sure there are others that will come to mind.

I second the vote for Steve Blum

I also throw my hat in to seeing the Vocaloids at Kumoricon, even though it's sorta asking alot

[earthtrap]

TROY BAKER
Matthew Mercer
Todd Haberkorn
Natalie Hoover
Brittany Lauda
Lindsay Seidel
Bryn Apprill

[Raedesu]

I'd like to see Sean Schemmel! We've already got Chris and Chuck, so why not throw in the main character of DBZ~?
Cynthia Cranz would also be great, and if we could somehow manage it, Scott Mcneil. Because I adore that man, but never got a chance to meet him.

For Japanese Voice actors, I would like to see Suwabe Junichi (Undertaker, Atobe Keigo, Yukiya, etc.) and Hikaru Midorikawa (Tamahome, Heero Yuy, etc.) I know Suwabe is still pretty active, but I'm not sure about Hikaru. Also Miyano Mamoru is always a good choice, he's in everything (Kida Maosami, Tamaki Suou, Kira/Light Yagami)


Also for a musical guest, I would love to see the band D (http://d-gcr.com). They're a great bunch of guys, and always willing to come back to America and do a show (They really want to come back. They like it here lol.) They're a J-ROCK band, but they're awesome, and actually love anime and get all hyped up at cons. (I saw them at Akon. They were nuts!)


A lot of these bands that people are asking for are too popular (L'arc~en~Ciel, Gackt, Megumi Hayashibara), and so I don't think their contracts would allow them to come overseas. However, smaller bands that are more independant, like D, and Ayabie, maybe even Gazette if you can get the contract to allow them, would be a great band to see. Matenrou Opera is also a good choice, Kamijo is always good, anything in the independent labels.

[WalkingSpear]

I just found out about this great band from Japan, BABYMETAL! You should all look them up on Youtube, I think they will blow you away. Oh, yeah, and I still vote for Olivia Munn.

[GreenBrownGirlSasori]

Personally, I'd like to see Phil and Kaja Foglio again, Ryan Sohmer and Lar DeSouza, Fred Gallagher, Alex Woolfson, Felicia Day, ERB, Nigahiga, Nostalgia Critic, Pewdiepie, or other famous youtubers, webcomic writers/artists, and Yuri Lowenthal and Mona Marshall.
Why? Because I love their work and their sense of humor, and I have a million questions for each one of them.

i think the guests have to be related to anime or manga in some way, and most of the youtubers you suggested don't do anything anime/manga related. sure, we may be able to get nostalgia critic since he has reviewed sailor moon and voiced the narrator in attack on titan abridged, but that's about it.
