I will try to hang out with any/everyone* but Drabaz. Hate that guy. Good thing he will never read this. Never. Ever ever. Hate. So much. That guy.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Just pre-registered! I'm super excited! I wonder if I'll run into VegettoEX. He's such a nice guy and is always respectful. Always always. Respectful. Sometimes.

If I didn't have a con in BC to go to in June and more money, I'd see about going. It seems Mr. Hebert will be there as well. Perhaps someone should try to get him and Ms. Nozawa together for a pic.

Yeah, and a simultaneous kamehameha from both of the Gohans!

Well this is incredibly depressing. My two favorite voice actors and I can't afford to see them. FML so hard.

I need a drink.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Can someone take video of the panels for the people who can't be there?

Man, the same weekend as Anime Boston...really bad timing for myself, but I hope everyone else has an awesome time!

I'll wish to get an amazing opportunity like this in the future.
I think I'll be buying assorted Dragon Ball things for the rest of my life.

I will say this: Between the new movie and now the Japanese voice actors making more appearances in the US, I haven't this excited about Dragon Ball stuff in a long time, and it feels damn good.

I also suggest a Kanzenshuu meet-and-greet: I'd be thrilled to meet you fine folks, and be able to put faces to names!

Wow this is incredible. Definitely envious of anyone who gets to go to this. Gotta wonder... could this be paired with a big announcement?

I wish I could go, but being currently in Iowa, it's a bit too far. If I were still in Ohio, that distance wouldn't be too bad. But, yeah, I'm excited for anyone that gets to go. If I'm not mistaken, this is Nozawa's first trip to America, it'll be odd and/or awesome to have 2 Gohan's there.

If by "arbitrarily fly all over the country and world" you mean "hop in a car and drive a couple hours south" and by "job" you mean "not actually a job"... I... guess...?

I'm honestly surprised that Masako Nozawa...Masako Nozawa is coming to an actual western anime con! :shock:

I've always been under the impression that Nozawa's age and her being a national treasure would've limited her travels, especially one to an overseas con.

But this should make a LOT of people very happy. People should have a chance to meet Nozawa considering her well-established career as a seiyuu in many roles and not just the fact that she voiced Son Gokuu.

I'm in northern Georgia, so this is *incredibly* tempting. It'd just be a few hours away, if even that.

I don't even know what I'd say to these people if I ever met them, but I still want to go so badly. This just might convince me to go to my first-ever convention.

Dude, I live in Savannah, GA, and it's only about 4 hours from me, so I'm definitely going.

I started going to anime cons last year, and mid-to-large ones like Animazement and Anime Weekend Atlanta are worth it.
