Bosch Teases New Jersey Stop
Johnny Yong Bosch, the veteran voice actor known for roles like Ichigo in Bleach and Dante in Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime, sent fans into a frenzy this week with a single-line Instagram post: “Next Stop NEW JERSEY!!” Accompanied by an aerial shot from an airplane window, the image shows hints of clouds and coastline below—no convention badge in sight, just a promise that Bosch’s convention circuit is continuing on the East Coast. The simplicity of the caption has fans speculating which New Jersey event he’ll headline next, but Bosch hasn’t revealed details just yet.
Convention Circuit Momentum
Bosch has kept an active schedule since early spring, frequently appearing at fan expos across North America. In a recent Instagram post, he celebrated making “TWO APPEARANCES THIS WEEKEND! Friday @rangerstopandpop AND Sat/Sun @animatecolumbus 🐸.” That trip to Columbus, Ohio, saw him meet hundreds of fans eager to discuss everything from his early Bleach days to his work on Kingdom Hearts.
His New Jersey tease arrives just a week after he shared a behind-the-scenes snapshot for Riverwalk Anime, writing, “See ya’ll soon! @riverwalkanime.” While that Texas-based convention wrapped up in late May, followers have since been tracking his next move—now officially confirmed as New Jersey.
Away from the dizzying pace of conventions, Bosch’s Instagram has also highlighted his passion projects. In an earlier post, he reflected on the Devil May Cry anime series surpassing 10 million game sales, thanking Capcom and Netflix for entrusting him with the role of Nero. “We’re now hard at work on Season 2 of Devil May Cry on Netflix,” he wrote, teasing animation from Studio Mir that promises even more high-octane sequences and character moments.
Bosch’s journey from California teen in P-Model to one of the anime world’s most recognizable voices has been marked by fan-first engagement. He routinely shares candid snapshots—whether it’s rescuing a baby turtle (“My dog found this little guy outside…”) or celebrating an Astra TV Awards nomination for Best Lead Voice-Over Performance alongside names like Kaley Cuoco and Seth MacFarlane.
Looking Ahead To Devil May Cry Season 2
As Bosch touches down in New Jersey, fans can look forward to more than just autograph lines and photo ops. With production well underway on Devil May Cry Season 2, he’s poised to discuss exclusive details at whichever convention he’s visiting next. Attendees often report him dropping hints about animation direction, new voice talents, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes that don’t make it into press releases.
Given his track record, it wouldn’t be surprising if Bosch uses the New Jersey stop to reveal fresh clips or concept art. Whether he’s reprising Nero, voicing new adversaries, or simply sharing his perspective on the series’ evolution, fans know that his appearances go beyond signings—they’re deep dives into anime craft and production.
From his early days in Bleach and Trigun to Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry, Johnny Yong Bosch has built a reputation not just as a performer but as an ambassador for the anime medium. His New Jersey announcement may be brief, but it underscores one fact: wherever he goes, fans follow.
As the date draws closer, keep an eye on Bosch’s Instagram and official convention pages for venue details. One thing’s certain—New Jersey’s anime community is about to get a VIP visitor.
