The organizers of the AniMinneapolis convention announced on Saturday that they will host anime director Shinichi "Nabeshin" Watanabe at the June 29-June 1 convention.


They've found a way to go back in time! Either that or the convention is gonna last close to a year. Very impressive either way! Wink

But yeah, he's a great guest. Very funny man, and definitely very engaging with the audience. I wish I had gotten his autograph when he was at AX a couple years ago, but just didn't fit in with my schedule.

I think he loves going to US cons, because he's essentially "off his leash" compared to what he can do/say in Japan. His panels were definitely packed at Anime Central this year.

He was really nice when I met him at Anime Detour a few years back.

aereus: Does he even get noticed in Japan, other than through his anime cameos?

Good to know, Minnesota cons don't always get shafted. Sadly I have to work and it's probably too late to get a pass anyway.
