As if you needed any more reason to come to AsiaPop Comic Con 2018. Not only are big celebrity guests such as Finn Jones and Tye Sheridan coming to APCC this year, renowned local guests will also make an appearance.
Which local personalities you might ask? Just the voice actors behind some of the beloved fictional characters from our childhood! Four VAs in particular are holding a special and nostalgic panel session at APCC 2018.
Here’s a quick rundown of the voice actors coming to the event this weekend:
