A Nostalgic Journey Back to 1986
Classic anime fans, rejoice! The beloved 1986 sci-fi adventure series Spaceship Sagittarius is making a special comeback with an exclusive pop-up event in Tokyo, featuring rare merchandise and retro collectibles.
Produced by Nippon Animation and based on the comic series by Andrea Romoli, this cult-classic anime captured hearts with its story of an eccentric crew working for a struggling space transport company. Unlike traditional heroic space operas, its relatable, blue-collar cosmic adventures gave it a unique charm that fans still treasure today.
Rare Pilot Version Artwork and Exclusive Merch
The upcoming “Spaceship Sagittarius POP UP SHOP” will offer a wide range of brand-new items decorated with classic scene stills. Most excitingly for hardcore collectors, several items feature extremely rare artwork from the unreleased pilot version of the show!
Here are some of the highlight items available at the shop:
- Chara Fine Graphs & T-Shirts: Premium high-resolution prints and apparel featuring the rare pilot version visuals, showcasing alternate designs for the characters and the Sagittarius ship.
- Ending Theme Collectibles: Tote bags and themed glasses displaying iconic frames from the nostalgic ending sequence.
- Diorama Acrylic Stands: Set up Toppy, Rana, Giraffe, Seebip, and Professor Anne on your desk against a grand space backdrop.
- Stationery & Accessories: Postcard sets, clear files, die-cut stickers for laptops and phones, acrylic charms, and capsule toy tin badges.

The pop-up event will be hosted across three major bookstore locations in Tokyo: Shosen Grande in Jinbocho, Shosen Book Tower in Akihabara, and Horindo Bookstore in Takadanobaba. Overseas and distant fans can also look forward to online mail-order options available through the official Shosen online store during the event period.
