This is an interesting sub genre that feels new and so 2025. There are big names like Vetements, Ashley Williams, Prototypes, etc taking heavy inspiration from anime.
Everybody’s tired of the sophisticated and serious fashion trends that make us look “classy”. We just want to have fun and vibe. So throwing anime into the mix makes everything feel silly and a little more grounded in modern culture.

❌my brother and i were ranting yesterday about how it looks like every season, half of the new anime coming out is some sort of isekai (when a person is reborn in another world, usually fantasy driven) and how we’re both tired of the same thing. we picked up on sword art online back in the day and it feels like since that story everyone wants to replicate it in a fashion. but then i thought to myself, why is it such a popular genre?
my first though was, maybe a lack of fantasy stories in japan in general, outside of western IPs like disney and harry potter, and then more eastern specific stories that pull for shinto stories.
then the next thing i thought was, maybe the people watching it really need an escape that was very different to what life is right now. outside of the cliche storylines and scenery, the thing i don’t like about them is that they’re too unrealistic, and that the concept of being reborn to do better just feels like a cop out to me. most of the time it’s someone considered a loser who gets to live a grander life, and while that is something a lot of people can relate to, i also think that you can try your best in the real world to do that on your own (not mentioning cultural and systemic barriers).
escapism is a very common thing to do, and im not hating on people who like isekais. at this point im mad at an industry looking towards all these stories to create when there are other stories out there that are good but don’t portray themselves in a eurocentric high fantasy world.

Met this girl in Cambodia that fights
She told me she used to box
Her father taught her
Her mother cried whenever she fought
Her mother wouldn’t cook them dinner when she was mad
She told me
“I am fierce as a tiger 🐯”
