For many of us who have been part of the Anime Nebraskon community in Omaha, NE, USA, Aaron Stoliker holds a special place in our hearts. As the original Nebraskon Bard, he embodied the spirit and passion that makes this event so unique and beloved. His absence has been deeply felt in the past few years. Anime Nebraskon 2024 is the 20th anniversary of this convention, and what better way to celebrate than to bring back the man that gave us a way to express just how much we love swords?

Anime Nebraskon is more than just an annual convention; it's a vibrant community that celebrates Japanese pop culture in all its forms. Since its inception in 2005, it has grown into the premiere anime convention in Nebraska with thousands of attendees each year (source: AnimeCons.com).

Aaron Stoliker was not just a guest; he was part of what made Anime Nebraskon feel like home for so many fans. His performances were more than entertainment—they were a reminder of why we love this community so much.

We believe that inviting Aaron back as an honored guest for Anime Nebraskon 2024 would be a fitting tribute to his contributions and would rekindle some of that original spirit we all remember fondly. We urge the organizers to consider our plea seriously.

Please sign this petition if you too want to see Aaron Stoliker return as an honored guest at Anime Nebraskon 2024!
