Hello everyone! It’s Mafuyu from Goods Republic!

This time, I’m sure many of you have seen anime produced by this animation studio at least once, right? In fact, they’ve just celebrated their 50th anniversary, and in Japan, a special exhibition was held where fans could look back on their long and impressive history!

When you think of anime produced by SHAFT, what titles come to mind? Puella Magi Madoka Magica? The Monogatari Series? Hidamari Sketch or Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei? SHAFT has worked on a huge number of series, and as you can tell just by looking at the key visuals, all of them are incredibly popular! The exhibition itself was also made with a lot of passion. From exclusive display panels to a massive amount of setting materials on display, fans were able to spend an absolutely thrilling time there......!

As I mentioned earlier, these 50th anniversary items don’t just include limited goods using the key visual. There are also items based on the newly released setting materials, as well as specially designed, exclusive goods! If an anime you love was produced by SHAFT, be sure to check out the full lineup of these 50th anniversary items. You might just find a brand-new, newly illustrated piece you’ve never seen before!
