Anime Boston 2018 Announces its Eighth Round of North American Guests

Voice Actors Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Steve Blum to appear at the Northeast's largest anime convention
Boston - Glitter Force.

Mary Elizabeth portrayed Major Motoko Vampire Hunter D.

“Mary Elizabeth McGlynn has one of the most recognizable voices in anime. Female heroes have long had a prominent place in anime and Mary's portrayal of Major Kusanagi in The Ghost in the Shell series stands as the most iconic,” said Victor Lee, Convention Chair.

With literally hundreds of V/O credits to his name, Veteran Voice Monkey Steve Blum is best known as the voice of Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, Digimon, and a gigantic list of other characters from Anime, Video Games, TV and Film. In 2012, Steve was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records as Most Prolific Voice Actor in Video Games - appearing in almost 300 games (now approaching 400!)

Currently you can find him as Zeb Orrelios and other characters in the incredible saga that is Star Wars: Rebels on Disney XD, as Shoe and Sparky in Laika's The Boxtrolls, and as astronaut Quentin Thomas on Hip Hop superstar LOGIC's amazing album The Incredible True Story and his latest release Everybody.

Added Victor Lee, “What more can be said about Steve Blum? If you watched anime, you've heard his voice. If you don't think you've heard his voice, you've probably heard his voice. It's been too long since Steve was last in Boston!”

Previously announced guests include Yūji Mutō.
