UzumakiWarlord 9 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm pretty sure this is probably still too soon to do this, but someone's gotta get the ball rolling sooner or later. While it's definitely unfortunate for 2020's Otakon to get canceled, at least there's more than plenty of time to prepare for next year. And hopefully this pain in the rear pandemic will be done and over with by then. Since Steve Blum, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, and Laura Post were originally invited for what would have been this year's edition of Otakon, I hope their invitations can roll into next year's. So here are the following people I would consider having guests for 2021: Dub Actors -Jamie Marchi -Monica Rial -Eric Vale -Justin Briner -Yuri Lowenthal -Tara Platt -Xander Mobus -Billy Kametz -Faye Mata -Chris Hackney -Kira Buckland -Karen Strassman -Crispin Freeman -Matt Mercer -Keith Silverstein -Charlet Chung -Keith Ferguson -Brittney Karbowski -Spike Spencer -J Michael Tatum -Brandon McGinnis -Erica Lindbeck -Xanthe Hyunh -Zach Aguilar -Aleks Le -Briana Knickerbocker -Sean Chiplock Seiyuu -Yoko Hikasa -Yoshisugu Matsuoka -Haruka Tomatsu -Ai Kayano Musical Acts -Fripside -Linked Horizon -Eir Aoi -Lenny Code Fiction -Lyn (she sang some of the songs on Persona 5) -Madkid -Myth and Roid And what if we had a Power Ranger actor or two? What if Austin St. John, David Yost, and/or Walter Jones (original red, blue, and black rangers respectively) could be guests? That's all that comes to mind at the moment. I hope there can be a little consideration in at least one or two individuals I've listed. And I can't make any promises, but I'll at least try not to get my hopes up this time.

GasparAKAShiggitay 192 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Here're my annual requests for: Seiyuu: The (5) original Sailor Moon Sailor Senshi Seiyuu (or as many as possible / who's available, but at least the OG 5 would frickin' LEGENDARY): Mitsuishi Kotono (Tsukino Usagi/Sailor Moon) Hisakawa Aya (Mizuno Ami/Sailor Mercury) Tomizawa Michie (Hino Rei/Sailor Mars) Shinohara Emi (Kino Makoto/Sailor Jupiter) Fukami Rica (Aino Minako/Sailor Venus) Seeing the voices of Usagi and Rei on-panel stage performing their famous to the series tongue fights... That'd be too funny. Any other kind of in-character dialogue between the characters would be awesome too, and my Otaku self would be so happy!Musical Guest: The awesome, the one... the ONLY... DO AS INFINITY! I've been wanting to see them live for ages. I almost got a chance to go to Japan to see them, but that never happened. They were here in the US at San Japan in San Antonio, TX last year, but that's not a con I can get to easily. Please bring them to Otakon 2021 or some year soon!!

Kewshi 23 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I think sakuraflorr would be a great cosplay guest maybe with workshops or possibly a panel with deathstrike cosplay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Senpai17 7 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Dub VA: would be nice to see Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham again (2015 i think was their last appearance at Otakon) Alexis Tipton Aaron Dismuke Matt Mercer (the larp will probably close for a while if you get him though XD ) Seiyuu: Nana Asakawa Kanna Hashimoto Hayato Sano Musical Guest: Monkey Majik Oresakband (with their new band mates) Joe Hisaishi (a huge reach but maybe) Other guests: Ilan Eshkeri and Shigeru Umebayashi, composers for the Ghosts of Tsushima soundtrack.

Aresef 108 Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'd be down for Genie High as a musical guest, but given the nature of that group and everyone's obligations (particularly Ikkyu Nakajima's work with tricot), it might not be workable. I'd say "just bring tricot instead" but I worry that people might look at them and think they're similar to Spark Speaker even though they're not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Castaway 2 Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Now I am wondering if Alison Viktorin would accept an invite. I have literally lived under a rock all this time not knowing she's Detective Conan! I mostly know her as Kobato Hasegawa in Haganai and Yui Kashii in Hajimete no Gal.

Cosmic Castaway 2 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Another actress who I am really interested in seeing is Bridget Hoffman. She's done it all from appearing in the first Evil Dead movie poster to voicing Belldandy, Shinobu Maehara, Mizuho Kazami, and Mima Kirigoe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

totalanimefan 3 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I would love to see Man with a Mission (musical guest) but if I'm being realistic, I don't know how easy it will be bring overseas guests this year. Maybe it would be safer to just have domestic guests this year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fslayer 0 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Would you consider inviting D.C. Douglas the Dub and video game VA. His three big characters are Yoshikage Kira of JoJo, Albert Wesker of Resident Evil for at least 11 years, and Kamoshida in Persona 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Courtney 0 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 With My Hero Academia's new season being released, I think it would be awesome to have some English VAs from the show! Ricco Fajardo (voice of Mirio in MHA) is in quite a few dubs that are currently airing including Dr Stone. Also, Sk8 The Infinity has been fairly popular as of late, and it would be cool to have the eng VAs from that as well! Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has just been confirmed for another season (part 6), so some VAs and/or animators who worked on the previous parts would be really cool too! As for musical guests, King Gnu would be really awesome to see! They did the ending theme 'Prayer X' for Banana Fish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC, he's not without controversy, somewhere along the lines of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. So if it were up to me, I'd give a "NO" to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UzumakiWarlord 9 Posted May 6 Author Report Share Posted May 6 I know I said this in my first post already, and I hope this isn't speaking too soon, but whatever guests that were to be a part of last year's canceled Otakon, I hope they can roll into this year. It's already the case with Laura Post, and whoever else is set to be guests this year (hopefully). Steve Blum and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn were announced as guests last year, before it was canceled, so I hope their invitations can roll into this year. Only if their 100% okay with going, and fully vaccinated, that is. For this time around, I don't care too much of who the staff invites for guests this year. I'll just be happy that Otakon can actually be a thing this year. IF it will be a thing, that is. Until then, let's just keep doing what we've all been doing- washing our hands, staying 6 feet apart when we can, wear our masks, and get vaccinated. I've already got my 2 shots of the Pfizer vac, and I encourage all to get vaccinated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Naomi 1 Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 I know Zach Aguilar mentioned hes open to guesting at conventions this year, Khoi Dao Griffin Burns and Erika Harlacher would be neat too! All english voice actors for popular characters in Genshin Impact. Vtubers is a neat accessible idea too but not sure how it would work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
