I think after a few years it just becomes monotonous. I only started congoing in 2013, went to a good few between then and now, and I can feel it all getting stale already. I never have any interest in con guests, panels are half-assed for a lot of things, and I'm starting to feel like I only go for the artist alley, which seems like a waste when a lot of people have etsy stores.
Maybe Eirta this year will be good enough to change my mind, but again, I've never heard of any of the guests. I get the impression that the music acts are nobodies and that they're just hoping that kiddies will flock because they're from glorious Nippon.

As if they'd actually be able to afford a Japanese artist anyone has heard of!

I heard they enquired about getting a Japanese VA over and the appearance fee alone was 10 grand. Can only imagine how much a somewhat known musical artist costs. Something tells me they'll never get to the point of being able to afford something like that unless either attendance or price triples.

Michelle Ruff is a decent guest if you watch dubs, shes done a fair few popular characters.

Akumakon's guests are nobodies too. Have they ever had a proper Japanese VA? No. Japanese VAs are a million times more expensive than English ones cause they're a ton more famous in Japan than VAs are in the West.

Nom Con looked before too - 10k appearance fee, 1k flights from Japan, accomodation for the guest plus their entourage (standard stuff, they want to bring min 3. people with them), food and transport.... plus they need interpreters which don't come for free if they're any good. There's no way any Irish con (of the college/volunteer run ones) could afford that. Maybe if they only had one guest but sure then everyone would just moan that they only had one guest. You can't win.
