An announcement has recently been made by anime licensor Sentai Filmworks and pop-culture apparel creators Ripple Junction, confirming a new partnership formed between the two companies. This will see a new line of merchandise based on popular anime series released to mass market and/or specialty retailers across North America. These items will be based on titles from Sentai Filmworks’ catalog including My Love Story, and titles from the Spring 2016 line-up including Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto, Onigiri, Flying Witch, and RIN-NE.
This is not the first time that the companies have united together to create merchandise. The companies have also worked together on shows including Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Akame ga Kill!, Parasyte -the maxim-, and No Game No Life.
The newest wave of merchandise is set to arrive in retailers during the 2016 holiday season.
