Question from Japan: Is Beyblade really trending in Taiwan right now? What other Japanese anime/toy cultures are huge there?
Hi everyone! I'm a mini-culture enthusiast from Japan.
I recently heard a rumor that Beyblade (especially the newer series like Beyblade X) is incredibly popular and trending hard in Taiwan right now. I'm really curious if this is true! Are people actually holding big tournaments or gathering in stores to battle?
Also, as someone from Japan, I'd love to know what other Japanese anime, manga, or toy cultures are currently a massive hit in Taiwan.
Are there any specific trading card games (like Pokémon, One Piece, Union Arena) that everyone is playing?
Which current anime series are dominating Taiwanese pop culture right now?
Are capsule toys (Gachapon) or specific figure brands seeing a huge boom?
I’d love to hear the real, everyday perspective from locals or anyone familiar with the Taiwanese scene. Thanks!
