Funimation Reveals First Panels and Musical Performances for FunimationCon
At the beginning of next month, Funimation will be hosting FunimationCon and now they’ve unveiled some of the upcoming panels and performances. Fans will be able to enjoy panels for Fire Force, Fruits Basket, and One Piece with each one including members of the English voice cast.
Fruits Basket Voice Actor Panel - Celebrate the hit shoujo classic's new second season with the English voice cast of Fruits Basket! Join Eric Vale (Yuki), Jerry Jewell (Kyo), Mikaela Krantz (Momiji), and Colleen Clinkenbeard (Akito), as well as season two's new character cast Aaron Dismuke (Kakeru) and Caitlin Glass (Machi, ADR Director) for some Q&A, a live reading, and even an advice corner courtesy of the Student Council! The panel is hosted by Caitlin Glass.
One Piece - The One Piece panel brings together the voice actors behind your favorite characters to celebrate the series and the return of dubbed episodes, including Colleen Clinkenbeard (Luffy), Brina Palencia (Tony Chopper), Mike McFarland (Buggy the Clown) and more. Funimation’s Josellie Rios (host of the One Piece at a Time podcast) is moderating the panel.
Fire Force - With a new season launching on Funimation’s streaming service in July, this panel is not to be missed! The panel features voice actors Derick Snow (Shinra), Justin Briner (Sho), Eric Vale (Arthur), Christopher Wehcamp (Hinawa), and is moderated by Matt Acevedo.
In addition, musical artists such as BLUE ENCOUNT, FLOW, KANA-BOON, and Luna Haruna will provide special messages, concert footage, and music videos for fans to enjoy. That’s not all though for music though as Funimation has teamed up with SACRA MUSIC to stream performances from the 2019 SACRA MUSIC Festival. This is shaping up to be a great virtual convention for anime fans.
