Retail Anime Partnerships

BoxLunch and Crunchyroll Launched a New Series of Anime Merchandise

— October 12, 2022 — Fashion
BoxLunch, the popular online and in-store pop culture product retailer, announced the BoxLunch x Crunchyroll collaboration with the global anime brand. This collaboration will see the release of 11 different shop-in-shop experiences in celebration of the two newest collections, the 'BoxLunch X Crunchyroll My Hero Academia' collection and the 'BoxLunch x Crunchyroll JUJUTSU KAISEN' collection.

The in-store experiences allow customers to enjoy music, enter sweepstakes for exclusive prizes, participate in interactive giveaways, and even receive a complementary 30-day Crunchyroll 'Mega Fan' subscription with the purchase of any in-store Crunchyroll-branded item. On top of this, there will be exclusive meet-and-greet events with voice actors from the JUJUTSU KAISEN shonen anime series.

In addition to JUJUTSU KAISEN and My Hero Academia, the retailer offers a number of collaborative anime products with Crunchyroll, including merchandise from 'SPY x FAMILY,' 'Attack on Titan,' and more. The products are available in-stores and online, though there are more benefits to attending the in-store events.
