Megan Thee Stallion Will Drop An Anime Series On Amazon Prime Video

One of the highest-profile musicians in the world, Megan Thee Stallion, will branch into a new form of media soon enough, and Amazon Prime Video will help her do it.

Stallion spoke at a panel at DreamCon in Houston, dressed up in Yoruichi Shihōin from Bleach cosplay, announced that she would have an anime series released on Amazon Prime Video. “You ain’t never seen an anime like this ever in your life,” she said but offered no details other than the fact that she collaborated with The Boondocks’ Carl Jones for the project.

Even with no details, it would not be safe to assume this will simply be a series that’s a fictionalization of Stallion’s life or music career. The reason all this is not as random as it sounds is the fact that Stallion is a huge anime fan, from her outfits to her song lyrics to her extensive knowledge of the genre, which all led to the creation of this series, whatever it may be.

If there are no further details on the show, it’s not clear how far off it may be if nothing is ready to be shared, not even a concept, much less footage. But the fact that Stallion was making an anime series was revealed seven months ago, so it may be somewhat far along in production.

I’m not sure what an anime that we’ve “never seen like this in your life” may consist of, as that’s a pretty broad range, but at the very least, we know this likely means a whole lot to Stallion, given her interest in the genre. Previously, she’s said that My Hero Academia is one of her favorites, and she’s cosplayed as characters from the show (see above).

There is skepticism in the anime community about the project coming from Stallion, where this would be a huge departure from her music career, but she has the resources to expand, and we’ll have to see how this plays out. It’s a little surprising that her show is landing on Amazon Prime Video rather than Netflix or Crunchyroll, as those two usually grab most animation/anime projects, but who knows what the behind-the-scenes reasoning may be for that.

It would be nice to have more details about this project, but it seems we’ll have to wait a little longer for that.
