AniMinneapolis 2012 Announces Vic Mignogna
Bloomington, MN - February 21, 2012 - AniMinneapolis 2012 is excited to announce that Vic Mignogna, voice of Edward Elric, Tamaki Suou, and many other characters will be appearing at the 2012 Minneapolis anime convention. AniMinneapolis will be held in Bloomington, Minnesota at the Ramada Mall of America from June 29 - July 1, 2012.
Vic has been acting for stage and screen since he was 8 years old. But he started his career in anime a little over ten years ago as Vega in Streetfighter II. Since then Vic has been in more than a hundred and fifty shows and video games, known for such roles as Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Tamaki Suou in Ouran High School Host Club, Fai in Tsubasa Chronicle, Dark in D.N.Angel, Kurz in Full Metal Panic!, Broly in Dragon Ball Z, Kougaijji in Saiyuki, Ikkaku in Bleach, Yukito in Air, Takanaga in Wallflower, Tatsu in Peacemaker, Luciano in Code Geass, Virgil Walsh in Trinity Blood, Hikaru in Macross and many more. Currently Vic is playing roles in the new Wolverine and Iron Man series on G4. He's also playing Zero in Vampire Knight, and Yoshimori in Adult Swim's Kekkaishi. He is also back in the role of Edward for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, playing Death Scythe in Soul Eater, as well as Pokémon, Naruto, Bleach and several others. Vic has also voiced roles in a large number of video games including Soul Calibur, Disgaea, Persona III, Sonic Colours, Project Sylpheed, DBZ, Bleach, FMA and more. But even longer than his voice acting, Vic has been a professional music composer / singer / producer who has written and produced hundreds of pieces for TV, radio and CD. He sings the themes for shows like One Piece & DBGT, and has produced several CDs of his own original music, all available on iTunes. Finally, in addition to anime and music, Vic has a degree in film and is deeply involved as an actor and director in several web series like “Nuka Break”, “Starship Farragut”, and is executive producing a brand new TOS based series "Star Trek Continues". Vic works regularly writing, producing and directing video and film productions of all kinds.
The Minneapolis anime convention is also excited to announce the performance of the Soup or Villainz at the convention. Formed in 2009, the Soup Or Villainz base their operations out of South Bend, IN. This group of high class villains consists of Remi-son and Viet Vu with a slew of henchmen and henchwomen. These Soup Or Villainz are out for world domination...not for power but because its just something to do. Along with their hypnotizing beats and lyrical mysticism, they use their strong intellects to turn the youth into mindless zombies one song at a time.
Vic will be appearing alongside other voice actors such as Quinton Flynn (Reno, Axel, Iruka, Deidara, Jonny Quest, Timon, Speed Racer), Sonny Strait (Krillin, Lupin III, Maes Hughes), and other yet-to-be-announced guests. The Soup Or Villainz will be performing alongside nerd rap headliner YTCracker, along with Dr. Awkward and StarF. All guests will be available for autographs during the weekend, in addition to their own personal Q&A sessions.
AniMinneapolis 2012 will feature over sixty different events and panels, including free autograph signings, cosplay contests, anime screenings, video game tournaments, a Nerdcore concert, guest of honor Q&A sessions, and many others including dozens of fan-lead panels. There will also be a dealers room and artists alley for buying awesome anime swag.
The convention will be held the Ramada Hotel near Mall of America from June 29 - July 1, 2012. Hotel rooms at the Ramada are only $99 per night, and can be booked online at http://animinneapolis.com/location
Registration for AniMinneapolis is $25 until April 15th, $30 thereafter until pre-registration closes on June 10th. Walk-up registration is expected to be available at the door for $35.
