When Hobbies Collide! The World of Trading Card Games and Anime!! - BakaBites EP 150

Trading cards games.. What was once controlled by nerds and sweaty men, the universe of TCGs has expanded immensely over the last 5 years and evolved into something no one could have possibly predicted. Where once Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokémon dominated alone, the TCG market has exploded with a plethora of new options, many of them using anime for the base of their game! Some of these new TCGs were created from existing anime IP, like One Piece and Dragon Ball Z. Others simply use anime to develop new cards for their game, like Weiss Schwarz and Universus. And some simply try to add flair to their cards and attract a new audience to their game, like Magic the Gathering. No matter how you look at it, anime has become a major influence on TCGs today to the point where anime fans and trading card collectors are coming together to form one beautiful, smelly community of nerds. Truly a sight to be seen.
