My own observations in my country: - in recent year or two, saw lot of people in the streets wearing clothes with Japanese words. Saw such clothes in stores. I thought initially that they were fans of Japanese culture, but it seems that it is just a fashion trend and they probably cannot even read them. - when entering a bookstore or a school supplies store, there are notebooks and sketchbooks and other goods with anime-style characters, translations of novels. Novels are now even in some supermarkets. Again, it started recently. - that anime-styled Chinese RPG game is somewhat popular among young people, and when reading laptop reviews there are comments like "Will (anime-styled Chinese game) run on this?" - I am not sure if we can count anime-styled avatars on social media because I don't remember if they were always widespread or only recently Hope these trends will continue. I wonder is it our local (Russian) trend or something global?
