I'm actually very happy Vic can make it out to the convention. I haven't seen him in over 5 years - first met him at Kazecon in Chicago 2003. He's a great guy though his fans can be a bit much. I've been an anime fan for a VERY long time and I do agree that some fans can be a little over the top. However with the influx of the anime genre this convention can bring in more people. San Deigo Comic Con has a large anime following attend and it never experienced any difficulties from what I have seen.
Congrats to Vic being invited!! I can't wait to see what other anime guests will be attending.
