This'll be my fifth time attending the convention, and every year has has 10-13 major guests from Japan. But it's less than a month away, and there's only four guests announced. Is AX cutting it really close with many others, or is this it?

I think it doesn't matter whether they announce guests early or last minute. They already know they are a well-established anime convention on the West Coast and will have an increase in attendees every year just because of its name. =\ Besides most of the guests are usually affiliated with Geneon.

Believe me, it would be a DREAM to be able to confirm and announce these guests much sooner.

Many of our guests have really tight schedules and aren't able to actually confirm that they'll be attending until shortly before the convention. We won't announce a guest until we're 100% sure they'll be able to attend.

In fact, there may STILL be a couple other guests we're waiting for last minute confirmation on, so stay tuned.
