Thank you so much to everyone who visited our booth and supported us at Anime Expo 2025. Whether you stopped by to say hello or made a purchase, we’re incredibly grateful for your time, kindness, and continued support, it truly means the world to us.
As we mentioned in a previous post, this was our first convention back for the year. We had taken a necessary step back to prioritize personal health and to address significant production delays, largely due to unforeseen issues with our former manufacturing partners. It’s been a challenging period for our small team, but we’re doing our best to rebuild and keep moving forward.
We also want to address the many questions we received during the show regarding our setup. This year, we were not in our usual booth space. Originally, we had been informed that the Exhibit Hall would be under construction in preparation for the upcoming Olympics. As a result, many smaller brands and businesses — including us — were reassigned to the Entertainment Hall or Kentia Hall alongside Artist Alley. Sadly, some of our peers who regularly exhibit weren’t able to return at all due to the limited space made available.
Roughly two months before the convention, we were told that construction had been canceled and were given the option to return to the Exhibit Hall, but with significantly less space. Though the change was unexpected, we accepted the opportunity with gratitude. While it was a tighter setup than usual, we found that it gave us a chance to connect with attendees on a more personal level, which was truly special.
We’re hoping to attend more conventions later this year, using a more scaled-down and intimate setup that allows us to better connect with our community while we continue to recover and rebuild.
We want to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to visit us, make a purchase, or share words of encouragement. Your support helps us stay afloat, especially in today’s climate, where small businesses are being hit hard by rising tariffs, supply chain issues, and shifting industry conditions.
We’re working tirelessly behind the scenes to catch up, improve production, and bring you the quality and creativity you’ve come to expect from us. It hasn’t been easy, but we are committed to doing right by our community and giving you our very best.
Thank you again for your patience, your trust, and for being with us on this journey.
LOWKEY! GEEKS
