Soon we’ll be facing the internal struggle trying to answer the question “what do I get this person for the holidays?”. Often the best place to start is to identify their interests – and those interested in Anime are in for quite the holiday season! Anime has grown immensely from a niche form of entertainment to come to the forefront of mainstream pop culture and 2023 is the year that consumers have turned their fandom into lifestyle choices. Now, more than ever, there are seemingly infinite touchpoints for fans to connect with their favorite content, and brands are increasingly leveraging those fandoms to create products and toys to engage with multiple audiences – from nostalgic kidults with deeper pockets to younger kids engaging with their favorite characters and shows.
