Yesterday was absolutely amazing because I went to the Anime U.K. Con on and I met Justin Briner, the English voice actor for Midoriya. He was a great guy to talk to and, it was really interesting because I actually met him before five years ago, but that’s when I was still kinda new to meeting actors and I didn’t really say much to him then, but, this time was completely different and we had a much longer chat this time. First, I asked him to sign my exclusive final volume of My Hero Academia with Midoriya on the cover. I then started talking about the series and spoke about stuff like how My Hero Academia is my favourite out of all the new gen series for Shōnen Jump since it’s alongside other series like Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Kaiju No. 8 and so on. I also brought up how, ever since the last time we met, I’ve noticed him in other series like Luck in Black Clover, Ginro in Dr. Stone and so on. I then spoke about how, again, the fact that it’s another Shōnen Jump series and how it’s great that one of my favourite series is alongside other ones I love. I then asked him who was his favourite character he’s ever voiced and he said Midoriya, and then I asked what was his favourite moment from the series and he said it was when Class 1A was trying to bring Midoriya back to UA and I mentioned how I met Luci Christian, who voices Uraraka, two years ago and she gave a similar answer. How she said her favourite moment was when Uraraka gave that speech to everyone to let Midoriya stay at UA. I then brought up all the actors I’ve met over the years, obviously Luci, but also Colleen Clinkenbeard and Christopher Sabat since he voices All Might in the series, and I even made a joke to him when I showed him the photo of not to fanboy out like Midoriya would with All Might and he thought it was funny. I then mentioned how my favourite arc in the series is the Hideout Raid Arc, when Bakugo is kidnapped and then All Might has to fight All For One. I also brought up just how incredible the artwork for the manga is and how phenomenal an artist Horikoshi is. I then talked about how much I enjoy Midoriya’s dynamics with the rest of Class 1A. Bakugo obviously, but then I mentioned how I think his relationship with Shoto is actually very underrated and he said he agreed. Especially when Midoriya, Bakugo and Shoto were with Endeavour and then when they met Shoto’s family. That then made me bring up the whole exclusive volume I was asking him to sign, the fact that Horikoshi made it for the end of the series along with one for Bakugo and Shoto and I mentioned how I’d love to meet Clifford Chapin and David Matranga, their voice actors, and ask them to sign the exclusive volumes I have for them. I then showed him my anime and manga collection, which he was very impressed by and I spoke about being a YouTuber to him too, and then I spoke to him about how my favourite thing in the collection is probably the 40th anniversary Dragon Ball box set and how a bunch of mangakas took part in it including Horikoshi and I showed him the volume he did as well as the ones Kishimoto, Oda and Kubo did. We then did a picture and, again, just great to chat to him.

Yesterday was incredible because I went to the Anime Con U.K. and meet a bunch of actors and one of them was Nazeeh Tarsha, the English voice actor for Kafka. He was incredibly kind and great to chat to. First, I asked him to sign my final volume of Kaiju No. 8, then I started talking about the series. I mentioned how I got into the series about two years ago and how I just started it after hearing about it briefly and how I honestly ended up liking it a lot more than I expected. I also mentioned the fact that I was very glad that it was another Shōnen Jump series, so having with series I already love is incredible. I also brought up how I enjoyed it more than other new gen series like Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. I brought up how the series reminds me a lot of My Hero Academia and Attack On Titan. How Kafka has a dream of being in the Defence Force, same way as Midoriya having a dream of being a hero and how Kafka is able to transform into a Kaiju to fight other Kaijus like how Eren transforms into a Titan to fight other ones and he could completely understand the comparison. I then asked him who was his favourite character he’s ever voiced and he said Kafka since he feels like he’s the most well rounded out of all the characters he’s voiced, especially with having a great mix of comedy and seriousness. I asked him if he knew about the series beforehand and he said he hadn’t and I asked what made him want to do it and he said his friend Alejandro Saab, the English voice actor for Kaiju No. 9, was talking about it and that made him interested and so he decided to audition for it. I then asked him what was his favourite moment in the series and he said it was when Kafka was found out about from the other Defence Force members when he had to transform in front of all of them and I mentioned how it was a great moment when he then punched that Kaiju bomb in the sky. I also brought up how I met Adam McArthur last year for Yuji in Jujutsu Kaisen and how it’s cool considering he voices Reno in Kaiju No. 8 and so it’s cool how an actor who plays a protagonist in one series can then play a side character in another and the fact that I can then speak to the protagonist of that series like this. I then told him how I was really excited to get the final volume of the series for when I met him, and it’s even more fascinating considering Matsumoto said that he really wanted Mina and Kafka to be on the last two volumes and how he was nervous that he might have to make another volume after the one with Mina if there was too many chapters since it was his plan from the beginning to have the two of them be the last two characters for the volumes. Anyway, I then asked for a photo and, again, just really amazing to meet Nazeeh like that and he was great to chat to.

Yesterday was absolutely amazing. I went to the Anime Con London and met so many cosplayers and it was especially amazing because I met three voice actors while I was there. The first one was Bryson Baugus, the English voice actor for Hinata in Haikyu!!, Rudo in Gachiakuta, Seiya in the redub of Saint Seiya and a whole lot more. He was incredible nice and great to talk to. First, I asked him to sign my first omnibus of Haikyu!! I was debating for a while what I wanted him to sign. Either that or the first volume of Gachiakuta or the final volume of Saint Seiya, but I went with my favourite character of his. Then we started talking about the series. I mentioned how Haikyu is my favourite sports anime and manga and I spoke about how it’s probably the most popular one too. I also spoke about how it’s similar to a lot of other sports anime and mangas too like Slam Dunk and Kuroko’s Basketball, and even Steel Ball Run since that counts with the horse race. Especially since Slam Dunk helped inspire a lot of sports anime and manga and I mentioned how it’s even more fascinating considering Inoue made it in the early 90’s and then went on to make Vagabond, which is way more serious, way darker and way more mature. I then started talking about how great it is to have it be a Shōnen Jump series since other ones are Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach and so on and it’s cool to have a great series like Haikyu be alongside them. Even more interestingly given the J Stars Victory Vs. + game, which he actually didn’t even know about. I showed him a picture of it and he said he heard about it, but didn’t know the name. And I mentioned how it was cool to see Hinata along with so many of my other favourite characters like Naruto, Luffy, Goku and so on. I then asked him who was his favourite character and he said it was a character named Bell Cranel from Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon. I then asked him how did he first learn about Haikyu and he said he heard about it a lot when he was in school and how his friends were fans of it so he was really excited when he found out he was playing Hinata after the audition. I then showed him my anime and manga collection and he was really impressed, especially when I showed him my manga art books and he saw the one for Haikyu!! He said he has the Japanese version of it. It was really cool when I showed him the picture Furudate did of Hinata dressed as Gintoki. I then brought up how I’m a YouTuber and how I talk about anime and manga all the time. Anyway, for the photo, I asked him to hold my Hinata jersey. As always, it was just incredible to meet Bryson and have a chat with him.

I’ve been able to get a whole bunch of stuff lately to add to the collection in terms of getting first volumes of new series, including some I’m sure some of you might not have heard of before, and being able to finish other series too like Kaiju No. 8, Soul Eater and Soul Eater Not! There’s a bunch of Cons I’m going to next month and o can’t wait to get a bunch of them signed by actors I’m excited to meet. There’s also a bunch of art books I’m excited to get soon too like the one for My Hero Academia. There’s a bunch of new releases coming out soon I’m excited to get too.

So, yesterday, I got, maybe, the most special and unique thing I’ve ever added to my anime and manga collection. Two weeks ago, I ordered this box set that was the 40th anniversary box set for Dragon Ball. The reason it’s so special and unique, aside from being an anniversary box set, is that this one had other mangakas draw the covers. A whole bunch of mangakas got together and drew these covers. They did different things for it too, either recreating the original cover picture in their own style, drawing something different with the Dragon Ball characters, drew the covers but added their own characters or just drew something different with their own characters but similar to how they were done in the original Dragon Ball covers. I really cannot emphasise enough just how incredible it is to actually have these. Again, as the gigantically colossal anime and manga fan I am, especially for Dragon Ball and all these other series, seeing all these mangakas come together to do these and have them lined up like this is absolutely incredible that I can’t find the words to describe how amazing it is. The boxes they came in look amazing with having the designs of the spines on the back, as well as pictures of Goku on the top of them, and the inside of the boxes look just as incredible with the compilation pictures different Dragon Ball moments. Also, all of these are Japanese. These were only done in Japan and not in English. I don’t mind since I obviously have the Dragon Ball manga already, but everything on the inside of the mangas is exactly the same as a normal volume, just in Japanese. It’s also cool to see the ones I recognise and ones I don’t. The ones I recognise are Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man), Yoshihiro Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter), Sui Ishida (Tokyo Ghoul), Shun Saeki (Food Wars), Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto), Yusuke Murata (One-Punch Man), Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia), Hideaki Sorachi (Gintama), Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk and Vagabond), Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro (Toriko), Yusei Matsui (Assassination Classroom), Posuka Demizu (The Promised Neverland), Boichi (Dr. Stone), Tite Kubo (Bleach), Takeshi Obata (Death Note), Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin), Koyoharu Gotege (Demon Slayer), Hirohiko Araki (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), Yasuhisa Hara (Kingdom), Yuki Tabata (Black Clover), Gege Akutami (Jujutsu Kaisen) and Eiichiro Oda (One Piece). Again, just seeing so many of my favourite mangakas doing these is unbelievable. They all also put little notes on the inside of the covers to talk about Dragon Ball and their love for it and little tributes for Toriyama since this was made after he died (I had to use Google Translate to make out what they all said). It also came with a small box in the shape of a famous Dragon Ball picture that had little bookmarks in it. And it only makes sense that Oda would be the one to do the last one to end it considering how much he and Toriyama collaborated on different things. Gotta say, it’s also pretty tragic to see Kazuki Takahashi (Yu-Gi-Oh!) wasn’t able to do one since he died four years ago and, one person who I’m surprised didn’t do one was Haruchi Furudate (Haikyu!!). Considering Haikyu!! is one of the most well known Shōnen Jump series of all time and probably the most popular sports anime and manga ever, it’s surprising he didn’t do one. Either way, I absolutely love these and, again, words cannot even begin to describe how phenomenal it is to actually have these all together from so many mangakas whose works I already love.

Either way, I absolutely love these and, again, words cannot even begin to describe how phenomenal it is to actually have these all together from so many mangakas whose works I already love.

The other day, I went to the Birmingham MCM Con. It was incredible and I met both Bryce Papenbrook for Eren and Meliodas and Todd Haberkorn for Natsu and Allen while I was there. I had really amazing conversations with both of them and I had an amazing day.

Yesterday was incredible because I went to the Birmingham MCM Con I met Todd Haberkorn, the English voice actor for Natsu, Allen in D.Gray-Man, Kidd in Soul Eater and a whole bunch more. He was insanely kind and great to chat to as well. Guess, I asked him to sign my final volume of Fairy Tail, though, again, I was debating for a while what I wanted him to sign. Either this or the newest omnibus of D.Gray-Man. We then had a great chat where like just talking about my love of anime and manga, I showed him my collection which he was also really impressed by, then I asked him who was his favourite character he’s ever voiced too and he said it kinda depends on the script and the director he has, obviously in a joking way, but probably Natsu at the moment. I then mentioned how he usually tends to play characters who are completely insane like Natsu or Kidd and he thought that was funny. I then also mentioned to him too how I’m a YouTuber and how I talk about anime and manga all the time. Speaking of YouTube, I also mentioned how it was cool when he was part of the WatchMojo video when they counted down their top 10 Fairy Tail moments, so just having him part of a YouTube channel like that that I love and is really inspirational to me was really cool to see. I then told him how Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is my favourite anime of all time and also my favourite TV show of all time too. He said he could completely understand and that it was a great choice. I then mentioned to him how, because I’ve seen so many series, it fun to notice him in different series. Whether it’s a big role like Natsu, Allen, Kidd and so on, or even just much smaller roles like as Kanryu from the new Rurouni Kenshin series and stuff like that. I then asked him what’s been his favourite thing he ever voiced and recorded. He said he really enjoys voicing power up moments. I then started telling him how I feel like Fullmetal Alchemist and D.Gray-Man are very similar. Like how I feel the art style is similar in both of them and also how Ed and Allen are kinda similar. I’ve always felt like Allen looked a lot like Ed when we first meet him just without the braided hair and how both can transform their arms. Ed can use Alchemy to make his automail arm into things like blades and Allen can use his Innocence to make his cursed arm huge. He wondered if maybe that was intentional and if it was an inspiration. For the photo, I asked him to hold my Natsu scarf, though he then actually put it on. I only asked him to hold it but it was still cool he actually put it on. Overall, it was still incredible to meet him.

Yesterday was absolutely phenomenal. I went to the Birmingham MCM Con and met a bunch of cosplayers. Had really great chats with a bunch of them. And, it was especially amazing because I met Bryce Papenbrook who plays Eren, Meliodas in The Seven Deadly Sins, Rin in Blue Exorcist, Inosuke from Demon Slayer and so many others. It was incredible to finally meet him since I’ve wanted to for a long time. Speaking of a long time, the actual waiting time to see him was insane, I was waiting in the line to see him for four whole hours. Yeah, it was pretty insane. But it was definitely worth it in the end. First, I asked him to sign my final Colossal Edition of the Attack On Titan manga, though I was debating for ages whether I wanted him to sign that or the final omnibus of The Seven Deadly Sins manga, but I went with what he was most likely best known for. Anyway, I then started talking to him about my love of anime and manga and how I’ve wanted to meet him for a long time. I also spoke to him about how I knew a lot about his history of acting like starting off doing voice roles for Power Rangers when he was a kid and how his Dad was part of it too. I then asked him who was his favourite character he’s ever voiced and he said it was really hard to choose. I then showed him my anime and manga collection, which he was really impressed by, and I also brought up how it’s really fun for me to watch as much anime as I have and notice him in so many different series. I then showed him how I’ve met so many other anime voice actors over the years like Zach Aguilar since he voices Tanjiro in Demon Slayer too, and even more tragic stuff like how I met Mike McFarland two years ago who plays Master Roshi in Dragon Ball, and the reason that’s tragic is because of the treatment he’s currently in with his brain cancer. I also mentioned how I met Erica Mendez and Cristina Vee since they voice Diane and Hawk in The Seven Deadly Sins and so it’s fun to notice actors in the same anime like that in the same series and then as protagonists in other series. Then, for the photo, I asked him to hold my O.D.M sword from Attack On Titan as well as Lostvayne, Meilodas’s sword, and it made it even better since because that Eren and Meliodas’s swords and he’s dual wielding like Inosuke. I also told him how I’m a YouTuber and how I talk about anime and manga all the time, and how I even recently made a list of my top 10 saddest deaths from Attack On Titan and he also thought it was funny when I mentioned how I made a list of my top 50 favourite English dub anime actors and I put him at number 6, he said “All right, I made it in the top 10” and so that was really funny. Anyway, it was still absolutely amazing to meet him and absolutely incredible to meet another actor I’ve wanted to meet for a long, long time.

April a few months ago was absolutely incredible. I went to the For The Love Of Anime Con in Manchester and was able to meet Amanda C. Miller who voices Boruto. She was super kind and I also had a great chat with her. First, I asked her to sign my final volume of Boruto and then we started talking about the series. I mentioned how I’ve been a huge fan of the Naruto franchise for about 15 years. I then told her about how I met Maile Flanagan, who voices Naruto himself, three years ago and so it’s nice to have now met both Naruto and Boruto. I asked her what made her want to do the voice for Boruto and she mentioned how she was working with Viz for the dub of Sailor Moon and they asked her if she’d be interested in doing the voice for him and she accepted. I then mentioned how I was disappointed when the anime was cancelled, but I’m hoping they bring it back, especially since I’m keeping up with the new chapters and she said how she hasn’t heard anything but the Japanese actress for him has done some recording recently and has spoken about it possibly coming back, so I said I hope it does at some point, especially since I’ve always found the series, and Boruto as a character, very underrated. I also asked her who was her favourite character she’s ever voiced and she said it was a character named Jo from a show called Kid Cosmic on Netflix. I then actually showed her my copy of the first volume of O-Parts Hunter, which was a manga created by Masashi Kishimoto’s twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, and I told her about how, not only did they grow up drawing manga together which led to their styles looking exactly the same, but that Seishi had to put a message in the first volume telling people that he was Masashi’s twin because a lot of people didn’t know that and so were accusing him of plagiarism. I also asked her why she also has the name Bennet Abara. I’ve seen her be called both Amanda C. Miller and Bennet Abara. She mentioned that Amanda is her real name, but, when she was starting acting, a lot of people had the name Amanda C. Miller, so she uses the name Bennet Abara as like a stage name. I also brought up the inspiration Kishimoto had with Naruto as a whole like with Dragon Ball and how Naruto helping Boruto make a huge Rasengan is similar to the Father-Son Kamehameha from Dragon Ball. I then mentioned that, whenever I meet an actor or actress for an anime character, I always like to ask them to write a quote from the character that embodies what the character is in terms of their personalities or just represents who they are as a character. Again, just awesome to meet her and talk to her about my love for the Naruto franchise.

So, I’ve gone to Disneyland dressed as Sora twice. Once was in August 2017 as KH2 Sora and second in July 2022. It’s been a lot of fun considering I’ve seen people dress as Kingdom Hearts characters in Disneyland and Disneyworld before. Being able to go there and do a whole bunch of references with characters as well as when I was on rides is great to do. Especially when some people recognise who I’m supposed to be. Being able to do some of Sora’s moves on rides like the ferris wheel and teacup ride was fun too. Woulda been cool to bring my Keyblade with me, especially when meeting some characters, but these are still great to do regardless.

So, my Dad went back home on Saturday and came back yesterday. He brought back a whole bunch of my Kingdom Hearts stuff. I brought over a few of the games myself last week, but Dad brought back the last of it today. It’s great to have all of my Kingdom Hearts games together over here where I am. Plus, a couple of them are signed. I already mentioned how I met Paul St. Peter back in April who plays Xemnas and he signed my 1.5 + 2.5 for the PS4 and Jim Cummings who plays Pete, Pooh and Tigger who I met back in 2021 and he signed my Kingdom Hearts 3. Also, you can notice that between Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 is the Gameboy version of Chain Of Memories. There’s actually a really fun story about that. I remember it was around 2010 or 2011 when I was walking through the city with my family one day and we went into this old technology store. I think my Dad or brother wanted something from there. I remember we went in and while they were doing that, I was at the counter and it was one of those glass counter things with things inside the counter and I remember seeing a copy of Chain Of Memories there. I remember sorta freaking out because I couldn’t believe it was actually there and I wanted it so bad. My parents asked the person behind the counter if they could hold onto it for me because my birthday was coming up and we decided I would use my birthday money to buy it. Then, some time after my birthday, my brother took the money, went to the shop and got it for me. So, yeah, a fun little story I remember. Though, I was insanely stupid and actually damaged the box it came in and it got dumped. I wish I still had it. But all of these are still great to have, and I also included the art books I have as well as the steel books and CD of Kingdom Hearts 2. Also, and I don’t care if this makes me sound like a weird collector, but when they announced that new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer last month, they announced they’re also bringing all the games to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in October and I’m hoping to get both of those. I may have so many versions of the same games, but I just love having all of these. Also, a while back, I was thinking about what I could bring to Cons if I ever meet more Kingdom Hearts actors. I mentioned Jim and Paul, but I’d love to meet more in the future and I like the idea of thinking which game I’d want them each to sign like asking David Gallagher who plays Riku to sign Dream Drop Distance since that’s a lot like a Riku game and asking Alyson Stoner who’s the second actress for Kairi and Xion to sign Melody Of Memory since that’s a lot like a Kairi game. And, again, just thinking of who can sign what is really fun to think about. Either way, I just love having these here and the thought of getting 1-3 and then eventually KH4 with all of these is so exciting.

I’ve been collecting Kingdom Hearts figures for years and I have a bunch of Bring Arts like all the trios and Naminé as well as figures of the characters throughout the games, one for Cloud to go with Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora, a Maleficent figure with Heartless Bring Arts, the evolution of Sora, Riku and Kairi, all of Sora’s main outfits in all the games, as many Pop Vinyls I could find, Toy Sora, Donald and Goofy with my Woody and Buzz, KH2 Sora Donald and Goofy vs. Maleficent and her Heartless, Sora, Riku and Kairi running at my local beach, and then almost all of the Sora figures I have showing a lot of his clothes in the series.

I’ve met a ton of awesome cosplayers at Cons and it’s been great to get photos with other Kingdom Hearts cosplayers. I’ve been able to meet cosplayers for most of the members of the Organization, Vanitas, Maleficent and Sephiroth. I hope to meet more in the future. It’d be great if I could meet the other Organization members and Disney villains. A couple of these are when I tried to use a wig for the cosplay, but it really didn’t work. Hopefully I can get a proper one in the future.

A few years ago, I used my Winnie The Pooh plushies to take these photos recreating different moments from Sora in the 100 Acre Wood like all the book covers, all the ending shots finishing the world and I even went to my actual local woods and took some photos recreating moments there like Sora meeting Pooh, pushing him on the swing and find Eeyore his home and getting bounced by Tigger.

These are just some of the voice actors I’ve met over the years and I’ve met them all as Sora. I’ve met a whole lot more, but these are just some of them like Maile Flanagan who plays Naruto, Colleen Clinkenbeard who plays Luffy, Erica Mendez who plays Gon, Zach Aguilar who plays Tanjiro and a whole lot more. Some of them knew who I was and some didn’t. Zach actually thought I was Roxas and another actor is Paul St. Peter who plays Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts and Kurama in Naruto and it was great to meet him and talk to him about how he’s in two of my favourite franchises of all time with Kingdom Hearts and Naruto. Just great to talk to all these people and see which of them knows who Sora is and just being able to talk to them and get photos with them is always so exciting.

These are all the Disney movies I’ve seen in the cinema wearing my Sora outfit and gotten a picture. I started doing it back in 2018. These ones are…
Ralph Breaks The Internet
Mary Poppins Returns
Toy Story 4
Frozen 2
Onward
Encanto
Lightyear
Strange World
Wish
Moana 2
Hoppers
Toy Story 5
There’s definitely been instances where I’ve worn it for other Disney movies too like Elio and Zootropolis 2, but I wasn’t able to get a picture with the poster. It’s a weird thing because for Ralph Breaks The Internet and Toy Story 4, I was able to get pictures with the poster at the cinema, but then Frozen 2 and Onward, I just did a picture in front of the screen. It wasn’t until Encanto and everything after that I decided it would just be with the poster at the cinema. It was pretty inconsistent at the start, but now this is how I do it. I wish there were posters of Elio and Zootropolis 2 when I saw them, but, oh well. I still love doing these though I’m excited to do it for later movies.

So, yesterday, the U.K. WaterStones exclusive volume for the final volume of Jujutsu Kaisen was released and I managed to get it. This means I now have all the exclusive volumes that were released for it. Not only that, but I was also able to get the exclusive volumes for the final volume of My Hero Academia at the start of the year. The only ones released here were the Midoriya one and the Yuji vs. Sukuna ones. All the others I had to order on eBay from America. They all look amazing together like this. I hope other series have them too. I think it would make sense for Chainsaw Man to do the same thing.
