Good Smile Company
In 2016, Nitroplus, Good Smile Company, and Pili International Multimedia launched a website to announce "Thunderbolt Fantasy", which premiered the summer of 2016. "Thunderbolt Fantasy" is a spinoff of the main Pili series, set in a similar wuxia setting with new characters. The show features slight differences from Pili's usual production approach, including half hour long episodes and anime-inspired character designs. "Thunderbolt Fantasy" is standalone from the main Pili series, with the exception of minor character cameos.
