Anime Frontier 2026 shows off its queer talent with Ironmouse and Daman Mills

Anime Frontier 2026 has shared its guest list, and queer talent has a strong presence this year. The convention returns to the Fort Worth Convention Center from December 4 to 6 with a lineup that mixes premieres, exclusive panels, and concerts.

Among the confirmed names is pansexual VTuber Ironmouse, who will perform her Club Ironmouse concert. Also attending is Daman Mills, a gay voice actor known for his work on the Dragon Ball franchise.

The list also includes Taliesin Jaffe, a bi actor from Critical Role, whose full cast will take part in the event. From Gachiakuta comes Corey Wilder, a non-binary, bi actor, and from Witch Hat Atelier, Madeleine Morris, a bi actress, and Erin Lundquist, a queer actress from Dallas, will be there.

A lineup that bets on the community

MK Goodwin, the event director, explained that today's audience doesn't just watch anime: they read manga, collect merchandise, and build communities around the stories they love. "That energy is what drives anime's growth, especially here in Texas, and it's exactly what Anime Frontier celebrates," she said in the announcement.

The convention will also feature Mackenyu's first appearance in Texas, an official Demon Slayer panel from Aniplex, and the Tranquili-TEA Lounge. Anime Frontier Jr. partnered with the Fort Worth Public Library and the Japan-America Society of Dallas-Fort Worth to offer activities for all ages.

The full schedule will be posted online on Friday, November 6. Tickets are available on the convention's official site.
