With different forms of interaction.
The game IS the product and those items directly affect how you interact with it, for example, with different items or skins for those items or other types of customization. There, those things aren't necessarily all that different from a DLC that adds more content, though microtransactions are a slippery slope in an unregulated industry and sometimes ethically dubious.
Anime isn't necessarily like that, since getting a new item (NFT or otherwise) won't change how you interact with it directly. Your figurines, mouse pads, mugs, pillows etc. will probably spruce up your place a bit, maybe even a background image might... but that's largely orthogonal to it being on a blockchain.
Of course, NFTs are the new hotness, so i don't doubt that some will try to speculate, others will want to get on the trend and so on. Human perception of value is a curious mess.
