Anime t-shirts and hoodies with hand-drawn designs by independent artists, printed to order in our Sydney studio. Over 150 products spanning cute character art, food-anime crossover, K-pop Demon Hunters inspired pieces, and original artwork by independent illustrators we collaborate with. No licensed character merch, no AI-generated knock-offs, no dropshipping.
If you're after anime clothing beyond a single tee, the designs also come as hoodies, long sleeves and crop tees, so you can build a whole outfit around the characters and in-jokes you love.
Every design in this collection is drawn from scratch by us or by the independent artists we work with, including Pepe Rodriguez, Eoli Studio, and Nichameleon. Made to order on AS Colour blanks, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, printed direct to garment in Sydney since 2011.
The collection leans heavily toward cute, with a soft spot for food puns and animals doing things they shouldn't. Hero pieces include the Brachiosaurus Ramen Tee, Duck Tea Tee, Bonsai Cat Tree Tee, and K-Pop Ramen House Tee. Whimsical characters, anime-style food art, soft palettes, and original designs drawn by us or our collaborating artists. Genuinely original work, not stock images filtered to look hand-drawn.
K-pop Demon Hunters was the cultural moment of the year and we have a few designs inspired by it. The K-Pop Ramen House Tee sits in the crossover territory of K-pop meets food meets anime style, and the K-Pop Xmas Tee brings the same energy with a festive spin. Original artwork by independent artists, drawn in homage to the film and its soundtrack, not licensed or affiliated. These are our take on a moment we loved, not official merchandise.
A good chunk of the collection sits at the intersection of anime style and food. Ramen tees, sushi designs, noodle puns, tea-drinking ducks, cats living in cakes. Pepe Rodriguez contributes the bulk of this territory, and the rest comes from independent artists working in the same playful style. If you like food, anime art, and slightly absurd visual jokes, this is the densest part of the collection.
Most of the anime collection is work by independent artists we collaborate with. Pepe Rodriguez contributes the bulk of the range with food-anime crossover and pop culture parody. Eoli Studio, Nichameleon, and HimawariKeep round out the rest with original character work. Every artist gets paid per print, every shirt is made in our Sydney studio. None of the work is licensed character merch, AI-generated, or dropshipped from print-on-demand sites.
Every design in the collection is available across t-shirts, hoodies, long sleeves, and crop tees on AS Colour blanks. Unisex sizing XS through 5XL. For an oversized anime streetwear fit, most designs are available on AS Colour Heavy Faded or oversized cuts — size up one for a properly relaxed silhouette. Hoodies use 290 GSM heavyweight cotton-poly blend with kangaroo pocket and lined hood. Tees use AS Colour Faded or Heavy in regular or oversized fits depending on the style.
If you're shopping for an anime fan, the safest gift picks are the food-anime crossover designs because they translate even if the recipient's specific fandom isn't represented. The Brachiosaurus Ramen Tee and Duck Tea Tee are the most universally-loved pieces in the range. For cute character art, the Bonsai Cat Tree Tee is the consistent reorder. Gift cards are also available if you'd rather let them choose.
Direct to garment printed in Sydney on Amfori BSCI audited, Better Cotton Initiative certified, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 blanks. Made to order means we don't hold deadstock and nothing ends up in landfill. Carbon neutral since 2021. Good On You rated. Independent Australian brand since 2011. A portion of every sale goes to Australian charity.
Most anime t-shirts sold in Australia fall into one of three categories: licensed character merch from major franchises imported and marked up, print-on-demand sites aggregating thousands of sellers using identical generic graphics, or AI-generated work that looks anime-adjacent but came from a prompt rather than a person. We're none of those. We design, print, pack, and ship from one Sydney studio. Every shirt is one we've drawn or commissioned from an independent artist, and every shirt is one we're willing to put our name on.
Yes! We love anime, and every design is drawn by Lonely Kids Club or one of the independent anime artists we collaborate with. We never use AI, screenshots or official logos, so every piece is an original, hand-drawn tribute you will not find anywhere else, made by fans rather than licensed studio merch.
Cute original characters, food and anime crossovers like ramen and dumpling designs, Ghibli inspired tributes and K-pop inspired pieces, drawn in styles from clean line work to full colour illustration.
In our Sydney studio, to order, on AS Colour blanks, using Epson direct to garment printers with water based, OEKO-TEX certified inks. Each tee is pressed and checked by hand before it ships.
Regular fit on 180 GSM combed cotton, oversized on heavier 220 GSM, plus crop and long sleeve options, all unisex from XS to 5XL. Size up one on the oversized cut for a properly relaxed silhouette.
Yes. Many designs are also printed on 290 GSM AS Colour hoodies and jumpers, and some on caps and tote bags. The options for each design are listed on its product page.
Some designs come in kids sizes. Look for the kids size option on the product page, or browse the kids collection for everything that is available in smaller sizes.
Water based inks bond with the cotton fibres instead of sitting on the surface, so the print softens with the tee rather than cracking. Wash cold and inside out and skip the dryer to keep colours bright.
Direct to garment printing handles fine line work, gradients and detailed illustration well, which is why we use it for the anime range. Prints use water based, OEKO-TEX certified inks and will outlast the shirt when washed cold and inside out.
Because every tee is printed after you order it, allow the dispatch estimate on the product page plus postage. Australian orders over $85 ship free, and you can pick up from our studio in Artarmon, Sydney.
