The convention is going hard with its guest list for fans, and that isn't even considering the virtual program. Now, Crunchyroll Expo is starting to roll out info on the schedule, and fans will be delighted by what they'll find.

As for guests, Crunchyroll shared a slew of information about the event's slate of actors, cosplayers, and more. "V-CRX attendees will be able to hear from English voice actor, Cherami Leigh (previously voiced Asuna Yuuki in "Sword Art Online," Minako Aino/Sailor Venus in "Sailor Moon," and Lucy Heartfilia in "Fairy Tail")," the company revealed.

"Japanese vegetable carver, Okitsugu Kado, will return to showcase his talent of carving anime characters from vegetables.
