Was a form ever created? I would like to repeat my request from my previous comments, for AB25!

Well, just in case there's no form:

I'd like to request that the English dub cast of Heaven Official's Blessing be invited to AC25. Especially the two leads, James Cheek and Howard Wang. But many of the rest of the cast are also very interactive with fans, and all are VERY popular with fans of the show, especially these (besides James & Howard):

Aaron Campbell
Anjali Kunapaneni
Branden Loera
Jacob Eiseman
Reagan Murdock
Jordan Dash Cruz
Ryan Negrón


A panel would be fantastic too.

Adding two more

*Brian Drummond : the Ocean Dub (and greatest IMO) voice of Vegeta (Seriously, I love Chris Sabat as Piccolo but when it comes to Vegeta on a scale of 1 to 10 Drummond is over nine THOUSAAAAANNNDDD... sorry couldn't help it lol) He also dubbed Benny in Black Lagoon, Sakura's dad in Cardcaptors, Ryuk in Deathnote, and Tiger in Monster Rancher, among others.

While we're on the subject of Dragon Ball:

*Sean Schemmel: the (Funimation / Crunchy Dub) voice of Goku and King Kai. Need I say more, everyone loves Goku!

Jun Mochizuki and Yuki Kajiura!

Jun Mochizuki is the mangaka/creator of both Pandora Hearts and The Case Study of Vanitas, two incredible series that both also have animes.

Yuki Kajiura is a composer, and she’s composed the ost for several series such as Madoka Magica, Demon Slayer, Pandora Hearts, and Sword Art Online, and more.

Thank you for considering both of them!

I hope you will think about Japanese band SCANDAL as a musical guest. They are usually in tour during Anime Boston but not this year. We had GIRLFRIEND, a band that started out as a sort of SCANDAL cover band, as guests in 2020 but COVID came along and kept them away (also wrecked their band)... SCANDAL has done a fair amount of anime work and now has huge experience as all-female band (Guiness world record holders) and are great in interviews....Thankx for consideration!!

Would love to see Neil Ellice!

Neil took up the role of Sgt. John 'Soap' MacTavish in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 3, and recently had a role in Marvel's Loki as Hunter D-90! Huge fandom following for him from Call of Duty still, too. Absolute sweetheart to boot!

I would love to see Studio Élan as a whole invited, either as a guest or an exhibitor. They are a collective of artists, writers, and game developers who have made many yuri visual novels (Please Be Happy, Twofold, etc.). Their works mean a lot to me and it would be wonderful to see them have some presence at a con that's close enough to actually go to. I believe they've been to cons in Florida and California, but never the northeast.

Logging in specifically to say I wanna second Sungwon Cho, for sure. He's been making popular videos online for a decade, and his professional credentials keep growing. He was in Dungeon Meshi as a main character, which was of course a huge hit from last year. Guarantee his line will be insane if he comes to the con.
