Anime Expo announced on Wednesday that Japanese seiyuus, voice actresses, Yui Horie and Eri Kitamura will be joining as Guests of Honor this year to promote the American release of Toradora! Horie has worked on the anime adaptation of Love Hina as Naru Narusegawa, and more recently as Tsubasa Hanekawa from Bakemonogatari. Kitamura has voiced Saya Otonashi from Blood+, Rin Kokonoe from Kodomo no Jikan, and more recently, Yachiyo Todoroki from Working!! We had somewhat hinted both guests' attendance previously. With already an impressive lineup, we can promise you that Anime Expo still has a few surprise guests up their sleeves. Stay tuned... Press release inside.
Despite some of the problems Anime Expo has experienced within the last few years that has put the convention's future into question, they have managed to assemble an impressive guest list this year. What’s even more surprising is that it doesn’t end there.
Rumors and chatter within the industry are running rampant, and we can say with confidence that we expect to see a few more well known voice actors and possibly a couple mangakas apart from Hiroe that may show up at this year’s Anime Expo!
Stay tuned as we’ll keep you posted, and don’t forget that we will also be bringing coverage of this year’s Anime Expo including photos, reports, and interviews!
Merely a couple months earlier, Sakura-Con held the world premiere of the Trigun: Badlands Rumble with Director Satoshi Nishimura and Character Designer Takahiro Yoshimatsu present in Seattle, Washington. Not to be outdone, Anime Expo has announced on Tuesday that they will be premiering the first episode of the next installment of Black Lagoon titled Roberta’s Blood Trail. The series’ original creator Rei Hiroe as well as Mell who sang the opening theme song for the anime adaptation, will also be attending as a Guests of Honor. Press releases inside.
This is turning into quite an impressive guest list AX is having this year despite the mass protests and resignation of various members of the staff earlier this year.
Megumi Nakajima and May'n, who sing the parts for Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome respectively in Macross Frontier, have just been announced as official guests of honor for Anime Expo 2010. The two will join the festivities in the first weekend of July as they participate in guest panels, autograph signings, and a concert featuring the two of them and a special, unannounced guest. Considering that Macross Frontier has not been licensed yet in North America, is this a hint of what's to come? Full press release follows the jump.
