Anime Expo 2012: First Guest Annoucements

With only about 11 weeks left until Anime Expo 2012 and now we're starting to see what Guest of Honors will be appearing. First up is..

U.S. debute of Japanese Music Artist LiSA. There will be the usual meet & greet, panel, autograph signing, and of course a concert. LiSA burst onto the Japanese music scene with her roll in the anime "Angel Beasts!" and one of the vocolist for the in-show band "Girls Dead Monster." She also sings the current anime opening for the new "Fate/Zero." AniPlex also plans to bring some of LiSA's releases for your buying needs.

Next up is the first announced voice actor for Anime Expo:
Steve Blum, a.k.a. Spike from Cowboy Bepop, Roger from Big O.. Do I really need to keep name them all off? This man has been a staple for the American Anime Industry playing numerious key characters as well as voicing some well-known characters in American Cartoons. He will be holding a discussion panel, meet & greet, and autograph session. This may be the first year I try to get someone's autograph! (Ok, second year.. but I didn't get to keep that autograph as it was on my good friend Meghan's arm.)
Something also tells me that he'll be announcing something about Toonami at Anime Expo, if we don't hear anything before then. >.>
 
Stay tuned as more guests and events will be announced soon!
