Before our logo became what you know today, it started as a hand drawn digital design made by one of the owners.

No AI. No shortcuts. Just passion and a vision we believed in.

If you’ve been with us since the beginning, you might even own some of our very first merch featuring this original hand drawn logo. It’s a little piece of our history, and a reminder of how far we’ve come.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey. Here’s to staying true to our roots while continuing to grow. 🌸

It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are for everyone who came to Anime-nia on May 2–3. ❤️

This weekend was something truly special to us as we revealed new immersive exhibits. Behind the scenes were countless late nights, stressful moments, problem solving, building, planning, and pouring everything we had into creating an experience we hoped people would enjoy.

We are still growing, and with growth comes learning. We’re already taking notes, sharing ideas, and working on new ways to improve because we want every Anime-nia to be better than the last.

Thank you for giving us your time, your support, your feedback, and your trust. Whether you attended, cosplayed, volunteered, vended, performed, or simply shared the event with friends — you helped make this weekend what it was.

We are already working on what’s to come and we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for being part of our story. Until next time ❤️
