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 ❤️

The Maid Café at Anime-nia isn’t just cute… it’s an experience ☕✨

We’re bringing together a wildly diverse lineup of VTubers, each with their own flavor of chaos, cozy, and completely unhinged energy—and trust me, you’re going to want to meet all of them.

🌊 You might find yourself swept away by Amara Aquashell, a chaotic sea elf with a heart of gold and the mouth of a sailor—serving up nonstop laughs, wild energy, and pure nautical nonsense.

🐙
Or maybe you’ll cross paths with CthulhuTilly, a silly eldritch horror here to entertain, amuse, and slightly unnerve you… in the best way possible.

🦀
Keep an eye out for Bastuary (Bas), a “friendly” little goober who is definitely not plotting the carcinization of civilization behind that cute exterior.

⚡ Need some divine chaos? Indextore, your friendly local demigod, will be there—probably struggling, definitely entertaining, and bringing the laughs every step of the way.

🐾✨ YayJayBae is doubling the fun with both her human and furry forms, delivering everything from gaming to commentary with nonstop personality.

🎶 And when the chaos settles (for a moment), Tosheemaru is here to bring the chill—mixing Dead by Daylight thrills with live singing and ukulele vibes.

From cursed to cozy, chaotic to wholesome—this Maid Café lineup has everything.

Step inside Anime-nia’s Maid Café… where you’re just as likely to be served tea as you are pure chaos 👀
