Viewster to Feature Exclusive Kill la Kill Merchandise in Launch Box of Omakase Premium Service
Pre-orders for bimonthly subscriptions featuring limited edition merchandise, streaming video, music and comics available today
LOS ANGELES, CA – October 15, 2015 – Viewster, the worldwide video streaming service, announced today that it is now taking pre-orders for OMAKASE, its premium service featuring merchandise, streaming video, music and comics. The first bimonthly box of merchandise will feature exclusive limited edition goods from the hit anime series Kill la Kill and be available in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
“Kill la Kill is one of the greatest anime series of our generation, and featuring it in OMAKASE is the perfect way to launch our service,” said Rob Pereyda, CEO of Viewster Inc. “We hope that fans find that the experience we have crafted around Kill la Kill is as innovative as the show itself.”
OMAKASE, a new premium service from Viewster, presents a curated journey for anime fans, inspired by the Japanese concept of omakase ("chef's choice”). OMAKASE includes bimonthly boxes of premium merchandise, together with ad-free streaming video and special digital content like original music and comics.
Shipping every other month, the bimonthly box of merchandise from OMAKASE will debut featuring Kill la Kill-themed items, including a limited edition, exclusive gold foil hardcover manga and an exclusive Senketsu “eye” scarf from the anime, with additional items being revealed leading up to launch. Conceived in-house at Viewster, the scarf is part of Viewster's efforts to create high quality merchandise as part of the anime community, and it is being modeled on social media prior to release by several influencers in the community with the “#dontloseyourscarf” hashtag.
