Eh why not, Frozen has been turned from what-if in China to 8-bit game treatment to Halloween costumes:
Donuts, Homer --er, Mr. Sparkle-- would approve. Chrome Cast streaming in Japan? Manga Box and NISA made it in Japan? |

In what way is this measured where services like ChromeCast and products like iced tea can be compared to anime? Revenue earned? Parent companies? Domestic and/or foreign sales only?

Now we just need some officially licensed Frozen figures from Japanese producers, and only better if they're embellished with anime styling.

NISA is not the same thing as Nippon Ichi Software America. It's a financial service. http://www.jsda.or.jp/nisa/sp/ Also, Manga Box is originally a Japanese service. It's constantly advertised here in Tokyo. Last edited by mewpudding101 on Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:53 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Disney seems averse to sexuality (these days). Not even the anime adaption of Stitch! had that kind of stuff, whereas Powerpuff Girls Z, Monster High Anime, Disk Wars, and other anime adaptions of western properties did. So I doubt we'll be getting anyKotobukiya or MegaHouse figures of them. |

Can the Frozen fad please die, I'm sick of it and I heard it's ruined some relationships as well. As for the cheap smartphone, I think that's universal, plans suck everywhere when it comes to the cost. Now I'm in the mood for donuts, not sure if I can get any crossiant donuts in the states but I can sure make some.

I might just watch Frozen just to get it out the way.

A financial service is hot? 
After what Japan turned Creepy Woody to, who could blame 'em? 
Anime ruin relationships! J-cellphones used to not have unlimited plans for flat monthly rate, ergo the rise of free apps like Line. Cronuts! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronut http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/brand-day-dunkin-donuts-making-croissant-donut-dont-call-it-cronut-161065 http://www.businessinsider.com/dunkin-donuts-croissant-donut-review-2014-11 |

How are they comparing Frozen Blu-Rays to deodorant? Because I sure hope people are buying more deodorant than they are Frozen BDs, but this list seems to imply otherwise.
As for Harry Potter's continued popularity in Japan, I wish JK Rowling would ease up her rights a bit so that we could have gotten Harry Potter anime or even manga adaptations. I didn't like the live action movies much, but I would've loved to see HP anime. |

Generally, the Frozen super-fangrrls who get a little too personally meaningful into their fandom of the "sister" thing are the ones who defend "No, no, what do you mean, the movie isn't 'male-bashing' at all!" There's one quick way to lose your guy in ten seconds flat. 
(If that doesn't work, insist that they sing Let It Go with you. Guaranteed results, even for the percentage of guys that liked the more rational and gender-tolerant "Tangled". If ALL ELSE fails, admit that you love Tangled and Frozen, but have never heard of Wreck-It Ralph in your life. The breeze you will immediately feel is the door slamming.  )

Wait, Frozen has male bashing? Where? Seriously, I've heard bad things about Frozen, but that's a new one to me.

Ya just wanted to see loli Hermione!
(It's funny though, when Harry Potter was new, it was the Japanese fans who would manga-fy the Western properties.) |
