Nintama Rantaro

Nintama Rantaro has no new anime announced in this coverage. The franchise's current activity is a dense run of merchandise lines: apparel and accessories through MAYLA, SuperGroupies, and ZOZOTOWN, plush and figure waves from FURYU and Bandai, and two physical events, the HANA BIYORI autumn collaboration and a returning Sanrio cafe.

Synthesized from 16 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 12

Across the sixteen stories, Nintama Rantaro's coverage is almost entirely merchandise and events. The series has aired since 1993 on NHK and had a film in December 2024, but no story reports a new anime production, cast change, or broadcast plan. What the coverage shows is a licensing operation running on multiple fronts at once.

Two apparel partners anchor the fashion push. MAYLA opened reservations on August 7, 2026 for the Iconic Shoe Objet Pumps, then expanded into ear accessories and, most recently, the Iconic Skirt in 5th and 6th year class colors at 27,500 yen with orders through October 26, 2026. SuperGroupies ran a July 14 to August 10 pre-order window for Otomo Petit Bags at 17,600 yen each, and is now taking orders through Animate into December on a Rikichi Yamada parka and tote and a Hansuke Doi tote. ZOZOTOWN is selling an eight-item collection of apparel and goods, made to order, in the same period.

Collectibles come from FURYU and Bandai. FURYU's Mochipiko plushies add Casual Clothes waves at amusement facilities from around October 2026, and a second FURYU Kuji lottery is set for winter 2027. Bandai's Mocchiri Kororin meets series opens reservations on Premium Bandai with shipping in January 2027.

On the event side, the HANA BIYORI collaboration runs September 18 to October 18, 2026 across the flower park and the Yomiuri Land hot spring, with goods at the venue, Animate, and AMNIBUS. The Sanrio collaboration cafe returns to Ikebukuro and Namba Marui from July 2 to August 2, and a Tower Records pop-up ran July 3 to 12.
