Guest updates for Anime Festival Orlando 12

Orlando, FL (July 27, 2011) - Anime Festival Orlando 12 announces new guests, appearance cancellation, as well as guest updates for the upcoming show.

AFO12 is pleased to add Cristina Vee and Blake Foster to this year's guest list. Singer and actress on screen as well as behind the mic, Cristina is beloved for her work as Mio Akiyama in K-ON. Getting his start as a title winning martial artist, Blake Foster is best known for his role as Justin the Blue Ranger in FOX's Power Rangers: Turbo.

Due to scheduling conflicts, AFO12 is sad to announce that Christopher Patton will not be appearing this year.

Guest updates include a few schedule changes regarding the availability of some of the actors in an effort to accommodate their working schedules: Jason David Frank will be available Saturday only. Wendee Lee will appear at AFO late Friday in time to introduce the Cowboy Bebop movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door and leaving early Sunday after an autograph signing session to ensure she sees all fans concluding the Cowboy Bebop Florida Tour.

Attendees should refer to the convention guide for information on scheduling and location.
