We are planning BIG things coming up 👀! But in We are planning BIG things coming up 👀! But in the mean time watch AniFest 2022 on CitiCable Channel 🖥 22/35 showcasing @arcanemaidcafe and @nagi.cos talking about the last week's event!  

Wondering what plans we have for this year and next? We will be posting teasers on our stories from time to time 😝

Our official attendance count will be announced- we have hit the capacity limit at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center, and we are looking to expand even further into the venue for our anticipated 2023 event.

Please note that we are NOT taking vendor or guest applications at this time, and will be closing off our forms because they will not be responded to. We will catch up to them once we get closer to the end of the year and make a general announcement. 

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and for always supporting our Anime Festival!

Due to overwhelming demand, we won't be able to produce enough packages despite our team producing them at non-stop pace. Additionally we cannot transport the amount of packages necessary for continued sales of the premiere badges.

In the future we will find better methods to improve our production and logistics capability, and to adequately serve our most beloved and treasured fans. 

We sincerely apologize for this announcement but will continue to do our best to have our event maintain the production quality and levels you have known to love and expect. Thank you for understanding and we hope that you will have a great time this Saturday at ANIFEST 2022!
