USA ANIME CONVENTIONS, COMIC-CONS, MANGA VENDORS, OTAKU CULTURE & COSPLAY CONTESTS: ANI-JAM FRESNO, CALIFORNIA.
La Carmina and Seba wind up in the most random of places. This year, we were in LA, Hong Kong, Macau, Italy and Tokyo. And now, we can add Fresno to the list.
Strike a superhero pose: we were guests of honor at Ani-Jam anime convention in California!
Seba wears an h.NAOTO top, Strange Freak silver rings, RJ 1959 bracelet and Algonquins bag. As for the nerd glasses… seems like someone is secretly otaku.
I’m wearing an h.NAOTO tank top, and some of my favorite accessories: spider ring, Monomania bone necklace, Yohji Yamamoto bracelet.
Ani-Jam put us in a humongous room at the Radisson Hotel. One colossal bed and two flat-screen TVs. Even the room service portions were monstrous.
A lobby fit for a Rococo prince.
The convention had a laid-back, friendly vibe. Young people dressed in cosplay, selling Jpop goods.
It was a pleasure to meet all of you who came to support us!
Listed as guests of honor in the brochure.
Pop quiz: Which one of us is wearing a wig?
The first day, I had a panel and autograph session.
I spoke about my work and answered questions from the audience.
Videos of my Scottish Fold cat, Basil Farrow, are always a big hit.
Signing autographs with my cute Rilakkuma bear pen.
Thanks to those who brought gifts! You’re all so sweet and welcoming.
With Miss Hannah Minx, another guest at the comic con.
The organizers took us to dinner at a steakhouse, and we had a raucous time drinking red wine and discussing Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.
We can’t thank Ani-Jam enough for flying us in and taking such good care of us! The Fresno con is refreshingly free of stress — it’s a place where you can simply hang, enjoy the events and meet new friends. You should consider swinging by next year (perhaps we’ll be there again).
PS: Thank you to whoever made this fan video of La Carmina & Sebastiano Serafini & Basil Farrow!

wonderful!!!
Very amazing!!
It was super fun.
SUPER CUTE
This anime convention looks so fun!
I went to Anime Matsuri but then you cancelled your appearance. But I sympathize because you had to. ; n;.
It was really fun, though, meeting designers from h.NAOTO. <3
Yeahhh I was super sad… but with the earthquake, everything changed so fast :(
sebby looks great, did he lighten his hair?
Yep! I changed my hair too… but I haven’t posted pics of the new color yet. It’ll be a surprise ;)
Your outfits are adorable!
Haha, it will take me all week to look through your posts to find out where you got your clothes from.. But it’s worth it! I want something difference, and stylish! That will stand out! (:
Great seeing you again! You looked fabulous and I had a great time! I see my Steampunk hat by Carlyfornia in a photo!
A pleasure to see you!!
Your hair is gorgeous as always. o:
Haha it’s nice to know you are one of those rare guest-of-honours who actually takes time out to mingle with the normal attendees. I can count the number of anime cons I attended on one hand cause I’m not really too big on anime per se, and those that I actually like tend to have a rather small following here in Singapore.
Andrew Lloyd Webber? Wow! I love his works. Which is your favourite :D?
Hmmm hard to say… maybe Phantom of the Opera?
we loved meeting the attendees! So sweet.
Oh, G-d, was I really talking about “Starlight Express?” :0 Of all the shows…That’s okay; at Sac Anime, I discovered there’s a whole group of congoers who do cosplay from “Cats.”
Anyway, you and Seba were great dinner companions and I hope we can do it again sometime. :)
hahahah yesss you were Singing it in the stairwell of the hotel! :)
Thanks and hope to be back!!
