Nearly 100 Pokémon characters. Two voice actor legends. One collector’s dream. Bill Rogers (Brock, Weezing) and Michele Knotz (Misty, Jessie) headline ASP25’s Pokémon Celebration, offering fans the ultimate signing experience—complete with character prints, Funko Pops, and nostalgic photo ops from one of the most beloved franchises on Earth.
The year’s hottest anime gets a monster-sized spotlight. ASP25 welcomes Brent Mukai (Kaiju No. 8), Benjamin Stegmair (Iharu Furuhashi), and Celeste Perez (Konomi Okonogi)—three English-dub voice actors bringing heart, grit, and chaos to the world of Kaiju. Expect autographs, panels, and massive fan energy.
One of anime’s fastest-growing isekai series takes the stage. Meet Tyson Rinehart (Ranga), the voice behind Rimuru’s noble and fierce Direwolf companion, and Benjamin Stegmair (Aslan), the sharp-tongued Dragonewt in Gabiru’s squad. Together, they bring the voices that help make That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime unforgettable.
Three fan-favorite characters. One con celebration. Brent Mukai (Scratchmen Apoo), Michele Knotz (Carina), and Tyson Rinehart (Bartolomeo) bring their One Piece energy to ASP25 with autographs, panels, and behind-the-scenes stories from the Grand Line. This is one for Straw Hat superfans and collectors alike.
