This is probably the biggest highlight of my week!! It was announced earlier on that Japanese Voice actresses Yui Horie and Eri Kitamura will appear as official Guests of Honor at its July convention, Anime Expo.

Anime Expo, North America’s largest anime and manga convention, is scheduled for July 1 – 4, 2010, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Yui Horie and Eri Kitamura will participate in attendee panels, meet-and-greets and autograph sessions.

Hocchan and Kitamura are making this joint appearance to promote their work in Toradora!

Yui Horie is well-known in the industry for the various characters she has voiced. Besides voicing, she is also a singer. And might I add that she is a awesome dancer? XD

You might know Eri Kitamura from her role of Rin Kokonoe, or maybe Saya Otonashi in Blood+.

Yui Horie and Eri Kitamura join Anime Expo’s 2010 guest line-up along with Internet sensation Danny Choo; musical artists Megumi Nakajima and May’n; manga artist Rei Hiroe; musical artist MELL; supergroup AKB48; voice actor Katsuyuki Konishi; Eden of the East trio Kenji Kamiyama, Satoru Nakamura and Tomohiko Ishii; voice actor Kyle Hebert; animation director Toshihiro Kawamoto; seiyuu Yuu Asakawa; J-rock band Sophia; and anime director Shinichi “Nabeshin” Watanabe.

The line-up of Guests of Honor is AMAZING. I WANT TO GO THERE. But apparently I can’t. Orz.
