[@cesiperez8789]

Cakepop Aj AMEN!!!!

[@DaniNobody]

I got to go to a small one at tekko and I could have met him but I'm too shy...

[@cesiperez8789]

Neko!Surpur same. I would have been DYING inside ;-;

[@leahhhh660]

Tenshi Neko That's so awesome! I'm jealous 😂

[@cesiperez8789]

Tenshi Neko you lucky spleef. :(

[@bagel2020]

he is one hell of a butler ;)

[@JustinPinedaMedia]

When Tatum clearly said he doesn't like the Favorites question and people still ask him that!
I was the one who asked him the Danganronpa question! Tatum's panels are always fun!

[@Rin_Evans]

Hearing him say yassss queen has just made my day

[@tammerzjpg]

what anime was he talking about when he said that?

[@KieMarie134]

Ian and Tatum should have a personal RUclips channel based solely on their antics 😂😂 I'd probably PAY to see interactions like that LOL #PureGold

[@ChloeOfTheCookies]

31:26 - The Boxer Story... I'm crying XD

[@vientianelaf5220]

ChloeOfTheCookies me too I can't stop. ~

[@andrewkful]

It's triply funnier when you're familiar with how Ian's voice sounds and what characters he plays!

[@dalenegillette1166]

I was lucky enough to attend both this panel and the over 18 the night before! JMT is so comedic and very entertaining!!!!

[@gabbie406]

He's so awesome. I would love to just sit and chat w him for a while. He seems like an insightful person, though not given many opportunities to actually develop his ideas at Cons. Oh, yes, and CRAZY FUNNY. I've heard the same jokes so many times and I still laugh.

[@cherarts1991]

Love his work as Kyoya and Tomoe! Michael Tatum realy is one of the best voice actors I have ever heard! Love his voice! An I realy love the underpants storry. I never cry when laughing until i heard that story XD

[@PrincessSorceress97]

You know, the creepy sound he described actually fits an animal - it might have been a fox's scream (like a mating call) and if the fox's mate was nearby it might have answered (hence the sound coming from a totally different direction) - so I wonder if he simply was hearing foxes
They live close to my house in England and I hear them make weird and oddly human-sounding noises all the time

[@thesecretroman]

Yup I have to agree with you on that one, sounds like foxes.

[@janenmarie8237]

"I don't have one tomorrow. So you're Screwed" xD

[@Rin_Evans]

This definitely helped cheer me up after the day I had

[@juno7386]

Rin Okumura Do you need too talk or am i way too late

[@yamiatemyugi]

I'm at 34:44 and my cheeks are already hurting from smiling and laughing. - 36:41 silently laughing - ow ow - deep breaths and keeps laughing - ow. - calms down and takes deep breaths - i love his panels because you will laugh and have sore cheeks and feel like you are about to crack a rib because your chest hurts from laughing. WARRNING: DO NOT DRINK OR EAT ANYTHING AT 36:30. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

[@SmartArtzzz]

This man is amazing!!

[@tyanna5005]

I swear Tatum is my spirit animal 😂😂 He is literally the reason why I am going to do voice acting.

[@bandotaku]

Oh my god, funniest Q&A of his ever! That story of him taking his pants off in the booth had me dying!

[@LittleMonstersVlog]

I love it when people tell funny stories. It really brightens my day

[@shannonfairywalker2466]

Omg I've been waiting for new panels for tatum FOREVER. Thank you so much for the upload!

[@jessdavila4]

This panel is hilarious! I love his energy xD

[@al.icky01]

I went to this Q&A last year! Being able to look back on it makes me feel the same I did then :,,)

[@pandamonium7977]

THIS IS SO COOL. SONUVABITCH~

[@Rxbynxx]

I love him so much oml

[@jessdavila4]

I absolutely love Tatum! I hope I can attend one of his panels one day xD

[@thesecretroman]

It's so weird that when I was watching Tokyo Ghoul in Japanese I remember thinking to myself "Tatum is going to play this character".

[@jilliandotexe]

I could've gone to this

[@secretsisters6354]

That ending with the drive-thru epic

[@missmoi8183]

Does ANYBODY else thing that J Michael Tatum would be perfect for Sakamoto in Sakamoto Desu Ga?

[@raydoesntcare2493]

yesssss

[@loulabell117]

This is plain hilarious

[@lifeofbekahh]

J Michael Tatum seems like a really cool person 😊

[@holleyrae8132]

[@mep_3149]

[@Edmqueen]

[@willmacarter9034]

Update: About his ghost story -- Tatum found out what the sound is!!! You have to hear it from him for best effect. It's told in one of his Ghoul Intentions podcasts with Jaime Marchi

[@DEATHFIFR190]

Which episode is it please

[@willmacarter9034]

@@DEATHFIFR190 Oh dear, it's been a while since I listened. I've only listened to the first six, but unfortunately, Itunes isn't displaying those any more, so I can't double check it but if I were to put it into a possible range, I'd say like two or three possibly five. I'm sorry, I don't know exactly but I remember Jaime Marchi who does the podcast with him helped him figure the sound out!

[@hansjoshuavillaflores3416]

spice and wolf 😢😢

[@Neelora]

and to think this amazing comedian now voices The sinister Demonic Dragon king Acnologia... XD... *spoilers

[@cheltheartist1654]

Spidy Gal WHAAAAAT? 😱

[@Neelora]

Look it up on KissAnime All Fairy Tail Dubs are out now XD

[@Rin_Evans]

OH MY FUCKING GOD I NEVER KNEW THAT TILL YOUR COMMENT, HOLY SHEEEETTTT

[@Neelora]

ur welcome

[@coderjo]

Spidy Gal didn't know either until Garrett Crespo mentioned it in his reaction. I was like whaaat??? 😂

[@sandisiblani3304]

can someone tell me if theres a video of the 'non family friendly' q&a he mentioned in the beginning?!

[@IXIstudios]

Sandi Siblani Likely not, due to Youmacon's policy about not filming the 18+ panels.

[@little_emjei]

(I know this is 3 years late) I don't think so, but I wish those types of panels did allow that, kinda, because if I'm ever lucky enough to go to my first anime con, and I go to like an 18+ panel for a VA...I just know I'm going to forget everything, so imo, I kinda do wish they would allow that sort of thing. Just for the easily-forgetful people, ya know? Like me....

[@theradioghost8440]

What show is he talking about at 17:00 ?

[@reiryugazki1591]

yay im the 69th comment and im in the description

[@LaEspana2010]

Got real serious at 14:20

[@aaronwolf8480]

[@bellarora9478]

What did he do during the hanky scene? I wanna know~

[@Violist99]

Sorry if I just didn't catch it, but what show was he referring to when he talked about those scenes?

[@maddymartin2240]

Violist99 Tokyo Ghoul. He plays Tsukiyama

[@K20Golden]

57:56

[@lunaheart9013]

Was one of the people who asked the question Jelloapocalypse?

[@bean6685]

Ok three years too late but that’s what I was wondering lol

[@eji]

@@bean6685 The dude at 23:15 ? That TOTALLY sounds like Jello

[@Nocturne22]

Yikes at someone bringing in a baby/child to a panel - so rude!

[@daydayluvsu]

Is it just me or does he look like Robbie rotten

[@ohnostalgia]

SHUT UP IM TRYING TO ORDER

[@ohnostalgia]

[@pIayingwithmahwii]
