This could include items catering to more diverse interests and styles, expanding the market potential. In addition, anime has rapidly increased popularity in Brazil, particularly in recent years. Shows like Attack on Titan, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and One Piece have garnered massive fanbases, increasing demand for related merchandise such as action figures, apparel, posters, and collectibles.
