The Universal — 1995 Anime Series

Available · one owner only

Archive note

Promotional poster for a 1995 Japanese television anime series that aired Saturday mornings on MTV Japan and Space Shower TV. The show featured a stylized ensemble cast of five characters rendered in a distinctive late-90s digital animation style, with a cosmopolitan aesthetic suggesting espionage, fashion, or underground culture. The martini glass icon and sleek typography position it as aspirational rather than juvenile — targeting an older teen and adult demographic during anime's peak cultural crossover moment in Japan. Sought by collectors of lost anime ephemera and alternate MTV history.
