Hey everyone, I bet you are all wondering why you are on the forum since it seems pretty dead like the cow son Chuck. I was recently at a anime convention in Calgary called Otafest.
Otafest was a very fun experience for me as I got to meet new people and see some old friends and some familiar faces.
However that is not all. I also got to meet some big name voice actors that is if you are interested in the anime world so here goes.
Todd Haberkorn: Todd is mainly known for voice Natsu Dragneel of the show Fairy Tail, Death the Kid of Soul Eater, Viscount Druitt of Black Butler as well as Italy of Hetalia.
Johnny Yong Bosch: Johnny is mostly known as the second black Power Ranger before he got his foot in the door of the anime world. Since then he has voiced Ichigo of Bleach, Vash in Trigun, Nero in Devil May Cry 4 (video game) to name a few.
J. Michael Tatum: J Michael has been a voice actor for 12 years now and his most prolific roles are Sebastian of Black Butler, Okabe Rinto of Stein's Gate, France of Hetalia, and Craft Lawrence of Spice and Wolf. J Michael Tatum is also an adaptive writer at Funimation Studios.
Then of course there are the vendors selling all sorts of geek culture stuff such as necklaces, pictures, DVD & Blu Ray box sets, manga, action figures you name it.
The panels featured a wide array from Q & A panels to panels about one's favorite series and even a few charity events.
Lastly there are the cosplayers, those who love whatever character so much that they abandon their personal identity for a day (or weekend) to pretend to be that character in the flesh. I wish I could cosplay but at the time I didn't have the funds to make or purchase a decent cosplay.
