Guest of Honor Suggestions

Post by Nenya »

Hello everyone!

We've had a few requests for a new suggestion thread, so please post your suggestions here. Any and all types are welcome! I'll only be opening this one thread.

I also have a few updates to share from Anime Boston's Guest Relations team:

- Within the last couple of years, Anime Boston has implemented a new Guest Selection Committee that has been tasked with collecting all suggestions from all over and doing research on these suggestions to determine which folks would be the best fit for our convention. We're always watching and we're always listening!

- A lot of guests, especially those who travel from overseas, are limited by things like scheduling and overall willingness to travel. In many cases it can take 1-2 years of conversations with a guest before we can finally bring them out to Boston. As such, most of our 2024 roster is already set, but we're already looking towards 2025!

- We're working on a new form so you can place submissions directly to the team. Please be on the lookout for this in the coming weeks.

Thank you all for your continued support and we can't wait to share with you what we have in store!

My top suggestion for a guest this year would without a doubt be Chris Tergliafera.

Among his anime roles include Mohammed Avdol in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Tank-Top Tiger in One-Punch Man, Silva Zoldyck in Hunter x Hunter, Muraki in Mob Psycho 100, Kiyotaka Ijichi in Jujutsu Kaisen, Sigma & Ultron Sigma in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Fugen in Monster Hunter Rise, and Gundham Tanaka & Ryoma Hoshi in Danganronpa.

The latter is actually my primary reason for suggesting him, because at a lot of the cons he’s a guest at, he’s hosted a Danganronpa Mock Trial panel, which has even included other voice actors from the series as participants. I would love to see AB become the next on the list to host one

While not a guest of honor, I do want to reccomend VA and Animator Christopher Niosi, AKA Kirbopher.

Niosi is known for several Voice acting roles such as Reigen Artaka from Mob Psycho 100, Conrad Leto from Black Clover, Julius from Re:ZERO, Ryuji & Ryuichi from River City Girls 2, Colress & Burgh from Pokemon Generations, and several others.

Niosi also is a known animator and artist, with an entire webseries & several classic animations.
You can find his youtube Here:

While I think this is pretty late to be put up now I would still like to throw my hat in for some guest suggestions. I didn't see any specific forums for different types like last year so I apologize if I missed them and they don't belong here.
The first is Vtuber of Mythic Talent Silvervale

and really anyone from Vshojo would be amazing to meet as well, such as Projekt Melody, Iron Mouse, Zentreya, Apricot (Froot), Haruka Karibu, Kson, Henya The Genius, any of them really

https://twitter.com/LichVtuber
https://twitter.com/haruka_karibu
https://twitter.com/ksononair
https://twitter.com/henyathegenius

It would also be really amazing to see Monarch aka Amalee, aka leeandlie there, she's not only an amazing Vtuber but VA and singer as well

Hello! I am new to the forums so I apologize if i do anything incorrectly. At Anime Boston Last year, it was my friend and I's first ever convention. Unfortunately we had missed a guest that had come the prior year, so for the next convention I would like to request:

Griffin Burns:https://twitter.com/TheGriffinBurns?ref ... r%5Eauthor

Griffin is known for his role in Genshin Impact as Tartaglia, Doppio in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Akira in Devilman Crybaby, Tadano in Aggretsuko, Muichiro in Demon Slayer, and others.

Some others requests!

I would love to see the English dub VAs from Heaven Official's Blessing at AB - especially the MLs, Howard Wang and James Cheek! They did post that they were accepting con invitations currently. I know James' twitter handle is @MaybeJamesCheek offhand.

I and *many* other fans very very much want to meet the English dub cast of Heaven Official's Blessing, particularly the MCs, James Cheek and Howard Wang.

This show is currently the third top rated airing show on MAL and its fans are very passionate about it and absolutely love the entire dub cast. James Cheek, the VA for Hua Cheng as well as the S2 dub script writer, is very involved with the fans and hosts watch parties with other voice actors and special guests related to the show. And through these, other voice actors in the show have also gotten very engaged with fans.

We would all be thrilled for them to be invited!

Also -- last year, there were a LOT of cosplayers for danmei at AB (the genre HOB is) https://imgur.com/a/RRhVtXb

Brianna Knickerbocker would be a neat guest to invite! She voices Hu Tao in Genshin Impact, Wiz in Konosuba, Rem in Re:ZERO, and a bunch of other stuff. (Dana from Ys VIII is one of my favorite roles of hers)

Also, seconded on Jonah Scott. He'd be a fun guest for sure!

Would be nice to see more vtuber guests this year, specifically from Nijisanji EN! The English branch has guested at many cons all around the world and it would be great to meet them in Boston!

Another suggestion would be Keekihime, a cosplayer and streamer!

I would love to be able to see the VA's of Heaven Official's Blessing, and not only the leads James Cheek (Hua Cheng, @MaybeJamesCheek on twt) and Howard Wang (Xie Lian, @TheHowardWang on twt), but Jacob Eiseman (Shi Qingxuan Male, @JacobEisemanVA on twt), Branden Loera (Lang Qianqiu, @BrandLoVO), and Aaron Campbell (Pei Ming and Pei Xiu, @AaronCampbellVO on twt) as well!

All of the dub cast are extremely dedicated to this show, and have interacted with fans a lot too! There were many danmei/HOB cosplayers last year, and this year I'll even be joining them. Would love to see them here!

My recommendation would be Jason Griffith

He is most notably known for his roles in Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, TMNT, fan projects and numerous others! He has a large following often travels to events hosting panels and giving signatures. He's been a voice actor veteran and holds many other positions! Recently, there was a Sonic Symphony hosted in Boston which sold out completely. Many of the attendees, including me, are huge Jason fans! It'd be awesome for him to join us at Anime Boston sometime!

As well as many characters from Gundam 00, Death Note and Black Lagoon.

                  Vincent Martella has shown a lot of interest in attending a convention in New England! With Phineas and Ferb starting up again, I think he would be a wonderful addition to the list of fantastic guests!

                  His work:
                  Phineas: Phineas and Ferb
                  Greg: Everybody Hates Chris
                  Patrick: The Walking Dead
                  Hope: Final Fantasy XIII

                  I have some requests for musical acts (and yes I know some of these are a stretch but closed mouths don't get feed):

                  1) Crystal Kay
                  2) Band-Maid
                  3) Sheena Ringo
                  4) chelmico
                  5) millennium parade and/or King Gnu
                  6) Wednesday Campanella

                  And rather than a voice actor, I would love for cybr.girl to be invited as a panelist! She is well known for her decora fashion and has a Youtube channel where she discusses the history of various J-fashion subcultures, interviews J-fashion enthusiasts, etc. She's also US-based and has a fashion line! I would love for her to be a part of the J-fashion programming track if possible

                  Here's her Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/cybr.grl?igsh ... A5bnp3Zw==

                  I have some requests for musical acts. All of which have done a good amount of anime songs, but some are likely way too expensive/too popular and they don’t show up to these anime events, so I separated those picks from the rest. And I put some of the more popular anisongs they’ve done and if they did one recently.

                  sumika (Wotakoi OP1, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas OP/ED/Insert, My Hero Academia Movie 2 ED, Pretty Boy Detective Club OP1, Recently: Delicious in Dungeon OP2)
                  Ryokuoushoku Shakai (Apothecary Diaries OP1, My Hero Academia Season 4 ED2, YashaHime ED2, Recently: Delicious in Dungeon ED1)
                  UNISON SQUARE GARDEN (Kekkai Sensen ED1 and Season 2 OP1, Blue Lock OP1, Fate Grand Order Babylonia OP, many songs for Tiger and Bunny, many songs from Yozakura Quartet)
                  THE ORAL CIGARETTES (Noragami Aragoto OP, Sakurada Reset ED, Revisions OP, Scarlet Nexus OP1 and 2, Ajin Live Action Theme)
                  SPYAIR (many songs for Haikyu, many songs for Gintama, Bleach ED25, Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans Season 2 OP2, Recently: Haikyu 2024 Movie ED)


                  Unrealistic but would be amazing:
                  Official HIGE DANdism (Tokyo Revengers OP1 and 2, Spy x Family OP1, Doraemon 2022 Movie ED, Hinomaru Sumo OP1, Hello World Insert, Recently: Spy x Family Code White Movie ED2)
                  King Gnu (Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 OP2, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie EDs, Ranking of Kings OP1, Banana Fish ED1)
                  Kenshi Yonezu (Chainsaw Man OP, My Hero Academia Season 2 OP, March Comes In Like a Lion ED2, The Boy and the Heron ED)
                  Vaundy (Chainsaw Man ED1, Ranking of Kings OP2, Spy x Family Season 2 ED1, Recently: Doraemon 2024 Movie ED)
                  Mrs. GREEN APPLE (Fire Force OP1, Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V ED4, Nana Maru San Batsu OP1, Recently: Boukyaku Battery OP1)


                  I think sumika and Ryokuoushoku Shakai would be very fitting because they’ve worked on anime people are familiar with, but also THE ORAL CIGARETTES and SPYAIR have non anime songs that are a vibe anime fans would like as well

                  doesn't need to be a guest of HONOR but for AB 2025, I'd love to see Melissa Fahn (Radical Edward-Cowboy Bebop) come to the con as a guest.

                  Easily my top choice would be Steve Blum (Spike Spiegal from Cowboy Bebop, TOM from Toonami, Leeron from Gurren Lagann, and countless other roles). He had previously been at AB in 2018...which was the one year I missed going to, and I regret missing out.

                  Here's his Linktree: https://linktr.ee/SteveBlum
                  Attended AB: 2017, 2019, 2022-present

                  I would love to see SPYAIR (Gintama, Haikyuu!!) or Galileo Galilei (Anohana, Haikyuu!!) at Anime Boston...! <3

                  I’d like to recommend Miura Ayme as a musical guest. They are a cosplayer, j-pop/rock performer, v-tuber and voice actor. They are the voice of Asmodeus from the ikemen dating sim Obey Me.

                  I mentioned this in a previous thread, but it would be an honor to have Phoebe Chan appear in a future Anime Boston as a musical guest!

                  Among other things, she has released an original album ("All of My Life") and has numerous stellar performances under her belt, such as at Otakon 2023 and Anime Expo 2022-2023.

                  More details of her previous work can be found on her official website at https://feebeechanchibi.com

                  It may be a bit early but I'm going to put in my suggestions for AB 2025
                  For VA's I would like to suggest Todd Haberkorn, Monica Rial, and Amanda Lee.
                  For Vtuber's I would suggest Silvervale and Fefe of MythicTalent

                  I wanted to suggest a potential guest for a future convention!

                  Briana White, who voiced Aerith in Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, most notably. She attended Otakon recently along with some other talent from those games.

                  She is also the host of Strange Rebel Gaming on Twitch & YouTube, and plays through a lot of titles, including Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth!

                  Don't mind me, just a fresh returnee from Animethon in Edmonton who had a great time and would like to recommend some of those musical guests for AB if possible:

                  Sally Amaki: Idol and voice actor originally from the US, speaks fluent English and is a great performer on stage
                  Twitter: https://x.com/sally_amaki
                  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@sallyamakiofficial

                  Yuki Nakashima: Seiyuu, singer, and musician - probably best known as Lisa from Roselia (Bang Dream), Shiho from Project Sekai Colorful Stage, and Yuuki Otokura (The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls). She also has a solo singing career.
                  Twitter: https://x.com/Yuki_Nakashim (personal) or https://x.com/Nakashima_staff (staff)
                  Youtube: She has one but it's currently unavailable according to her staff, I'll update this if it goes back up

                  Konomi Suzuki: Popular anisong singer, she's done a ton of anime songs but is probably best known for the openings of No Game No Life and Re:Zero.
                  Twitter: https://x.com/Suzuki_Konomin
                  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Suzuki_Konomi

                  Myth & Roid: Musical unit made up of Tom-H@ck, hotaru, and KIHOW - they've done lots of anime songs such as the endings for Re:Zero, Overlord, Made in Abyss, and more. KIHOW can also speak English fluently and has great stage presence.
                  Twitter: https://x.com/myth_and_roid
                  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mythroidofficialchannel5625

                  I believe Sally and Yuki were brought over by Aria Productions (https://x.com/AriaPro_info), Myth & Roid were brought over by Fakestar (https://x.com/FAKESTARUSA), and Konomi was a joint effort between the two, so they might be the people to reach out to.

                  Thanks in advance for your consideration!

                  I would like to suggest Max Ellis of Shield and Sword Productions. He's an Englishman living in Japan and has made a few indie tokusatsu web series, such as "Avalon, Knight of the Round Table".

                  For Anime Boston 2025 I would like to suggest/request the following guests who are both VA's, Vtubers, and musical artists. The VA's I would like to request are Todd Habberkorn, Monica Rial, and Amanda Lee.
                  As for Vtuber's and musicians they overlap as many Vtuber's are great singers.
                  Silvervale of Mythic Talent, Silvervale is an adorable pastel goth wolf girl who is a comfy cozy variety streamer who is also a great singer with a handful of great songs. https://twitter.com/_Silvervale_ silvervale@mythictalent.com

                  Sinder, Sinder is a Hell Hound variety streamer who is also a master level cosplayer and singer with a few original songs and multiple cover and usually does con meet and greets in person. https://twitter.com/SinderVT

                  IronMouse, Projekt Melody, Zentreya, Apricot/Froot, Haruka_Karibu, Henyathegenius, Hime Hajime, Matara-kan, and Michimochi. All members of Vshojo with a number of them being incredible singers and all amazing content creators. https://twitter.com/VShojo

                  Monarch/Amalee/Leeandlie/the scuff queen. A newer Vtuber who is also a singer and VA with many great characters from both anime and games under her belt https://twitter.com/LeeandLie

                  Arielle, a Holographic sorceress Vtuber with beautiful multi colored holographic hair is a variety streamer who plays Mario Kart with her community very often https://twitter.com/Arielle_VT

                  Obviously I don't expect to see all these people but I hope to see at least a couple of them, for there are many Vtubers both in corps and indie besides from Hololive
