Official Guests


Each year Anime Detour works hard to bring people from all over the Anime universe as well as local talent from Minnesota! We endeavor to invite artists, writers, fan guests, voice actors, and perhaps a producer or director (if we can get them away from their work ^_^). Please only submit guest suggestions during the summer as our convention cycle limits our input period for attendees and industry promoters to a realistic timeframe.

The panels are a great place for fans to ask questions about their favorite people in the Anime community. Check out our guests below, and don't miss out on all the fun!
