Hello everyone! We are excited to put forward a new way for you to suggest guests you would like to see at Anime Detour! Moving forward please use this suggestion form rather than emailing us, it will remain open year round and help us better track responses.

Please suggest any industry guests you would like to see at Anime Detour here! Please only submit one guest or group at a time and keep in mind we will not be able to invite every guest, but we will use this list to pull from for future years!
