The Thunderbolt Fantasy project

The Thunderbolt Fantasy project is a television collaboration between Nitro+, Pili international media, and the Good smile company.

The characters, designs, and story were done by Gen Urobuchi and Nitroplus, while the puppets were crafted and maintained, and filmed by Pili.

The show was dubbed in Taiwanese and Japanese, with not only english subtitles, but notorious veteran Japanese voice actors who had never worked with dubbing over puppets before. several spinoff media have been produced including two volumes of manga adaptations, and a Novel.

"'What happens when you then take Gen Urobuchi from Nitroplus and partner him with Pili International Media, the company responsible for the glove puppetry media with the highest production values? The result is a miraculous collaboration. The result is an all-new wuxia fantasy series, with Gen Urobuchi providing the premise, screenplay, and series composition, and Pili handling the filming and production: Thunderbolt Fantasy!' -(The description for the show on several streaming sites where it is available.)"
