YouTuber Ludwig Ahgren and his entertainment company Mogul Moves have announced a limited-edition apparel collection in collaboration with the Cowboy Bebop anime series. The collection was developed in partnership with Crunchyroll and is set to debut during Anime Expo in Los Angeles next week, followed by an online release.
The Mogul Moves x Cowboy Bebop Collection includes 10 items, priced between $30 and $145, and features a mix of original artwork and anime-inspired designs. Voice actor and streamer LilyPichu designed a set of original pins, while illustrator Jiankun Yu created new artwork for the drop. Both are longtime fans of anime and Cowboy Bebop.
On the collaboration, Ludwig commented:
“The first time I watched Cowboy Bebop was on a flight to Arizona. I was moving from New Hampshire, the only home I had ever known, to start my college life. I was 18 at the time and scared of a world where I didn’t know anyone. The only reason I was even watching Cowboy Bebop was to pass the time so I wouldn’t have to mull over the anxious thoughts that plagued my mind.
What I didn’t realize at the time is this show would make me a full-fledged weeb. And beyond just entertainment, anime would form my interests, give me blind confidence like my favorite characters, and change my philosophy on what I value. It’s corny from the outside in to say but it’s the truth. And it all started with Cowboy Bebop.”
