when today?? and do they do only like one per day or something lol the suspense is killing me

lol zim, I already told you the schedule of how they release the guests! haha here it is again:

I looked through the AX news archives, and the earliest they announced the first GOH last year was February 18th. From then on they announced GOHs usually weekly/sometimes biweekly/or even just randomly haha, and the last GOH was announced on June 18th, two weeks before AX. It was also nearly the same schedule in 2009 (Feb 12th - June 17th).


When the first guest is announced (they're announcing during AX Live, which starts at 7 PM), it'll be up here after or around the same time as AX Live: http://www.anime-expo.org/category/guests/

Hey Snype, this thought just occurred to me - will you go just as ape **** if MTH is announced as a guest?

Also, I am predicting someone small for tonight - I really don't think they'd announce someone as big as SCANDAL for the first guest. Probably will be just a voice actor/actress...

Well, in 2009, Morning Musume was announced as the first guest, and they're pretty big. But really, though, given what AX has done in the past, it's impossible to predict who they're going to announce, and when/what "order" they're announcing them.

I think that it's most likely someone pretty popular, since on AX's Twitter and Facebook they said, "HUGE NEWS: We'll be announcing our FIRST Guest of Honor tonight on AX Live!" I kind of doubt they'd really say that if it wasn't someone big, especially for the first GOH. But I guess we'll see in another hour and a half...

again: the suspense is killing me

ill be sure to tune in tonight

Pls someone post the result even if it isn't SCANDAL here too

actually not really dude, MTH live is kind of bad, if the announce MTH, meh I would probably still hope SCANDAL would be there. I don't think any bid for MTH and I think they just got back together after the drummer gave birth.

Ape **** for SCANDAL, MTH not so much I guess you would say.

dont hold it against me if they make the announcement for SCANDAL and tears roll down my eyes

hahaha

First guest: Vic Mignogna. He's the American VA for Ed from Fullmetal and whatnot.

lol well, even though he is popular, that is a bit of a disappointment since Vic is at pretty much every con in the US, and he was at AX last year, and the year before, etc.

Well, I got my steel toe boots ready to go kicking down all the trash cans in my neighborhood when they announce SCANDAL... Then I'm gunna have a victory run from the cops when they try to site me for happy vandalism... HA HA!

Ah, SCANDAL is bliss...

Anyways, even if they don't make it to AX, I'm hoping they consider going back to Sakura-con or do some other small tour again, although AX is still the biggest event... heh... But likewise, if AX can dish out the cash to fly over an army sized troupe like Morning Musume, then a 4 girl band should be shillings... Lets just hope Sony doesn't do the swindling thing...

*!Cross Fingers!*

Keep me posting, guys! If SCANDAL comes over this year, I'll take days off from work and fly over to CA!

Geez; he was also at last year's AX as well! Come on, AX; just announce SCANDAL already... .wew.

oh, Danny Choo! he came for AFA X too.

it will be on next week's announcement then. SCANDAL i guess.

is that what happen for AFA X Choo then SCANDAL?

for AFA, the guests are announced one in a row.

i meant hope SCANDAL do get onto AX. yep.

It's the same thing for AX. But what snype was asking was if if AFAX announced Danny Choo as a guest first, and then right after him, was SCANDAL the next guest announced?

errrr, from what i know, the answer is sort of a yes. cause the people show SCANDAL videos after that.

but don't get too excited over it, snyper. like i said, their DREAMER concert will end at 8th of June, so everything must depend on SONY and they themselves.

yeah I know, I was wondering about any possible correlation to SCANDAL and Choo.

lol creamer...

the anticipation is killing me... only one release every WEEK .wew.

Thanks everyone for keeping us updated

It is kind of strange, no new guest host announced and now AX Live is going on thursday nights. I won't be able to know who get announced until after I get off work...

haha okay, guys: There is a big possibility that SCANDAL might be going to another con instead of AX. It's the same time as AX but in Anaheim. More info here:

Also, there was no AX GOH announcement this week. I didn't think there would be anyway, considering what's happening in Japan right now.

Edit (3-24): No GOH announcement this week either.

I just got finished reading the info on AM2, so I just wanted to bump this post up and see what everyone is doing about AX?

With the new announcement (to me at least), I'm pretty sure that you'll make the jump to AM2 if all goes well, but I think with the price difference for registration, it'll be hard for anyone who hasn't bought a ticket for AX yet?

How's AM2 like anyways? Is it a debut year for them? Cause it'll pretty hard to compete with AX if it is... HA HA! ah AX has been waning anyways, so it's 50/50 from where I stand, but 100% to AM2 when SCANDAL is announced...
