With spectacular action figures, colourful trading cards and epic storylines that come to life with hand-drawn and computerised animation, pop culture and anime is a movement that has swept the globe.
Local businesses in the Redcliffe Peninsula region are supplying a range of products and services inspired by characters in comics and other forms of popular culture, such as Pokemon and Yugioh.
The owner of Tempest Collectables in Redcliffe, Michael Brinckman, said he intended on growing a very large community for anime.
We're Redcliffe's home of anime and trading card games and the official tournament store for Yugioh,¯ Michael said.
We have grown the card playing community from just four players to around 10 players on a Saturday.¯
In Margate at Rose Rabbit Tattoo, there's a strong demand for anything pop culture and anime by way of inked designs.
Owner Casey Charlton said he got lots of requests for tattoo designs that are influenced by Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon in particular.
Pop culture and anime are becoming a very big thing in tattooing¯, Casey said.
For some people, their love of anime and collectibles goes beyond a hobby, becoming more of a lifestyle.
Getting your favourite anime character tattooed on your body ' it shows how dedicated some of these fans are,¯ Casey said.
It's becoming more mainstream and Netflix has meant that we have anime from countries we normally would never have heard of.¯
Whether it's in assisting a customer to get that favourite toy for a grandchild, or it's in creating a highly detailed pop culture-inspired tattoo, both businesses have a mission to cater to the local community.
Card games are good for kids who are socially awkward, and they are a great way to make friends,¯ Michael said.
Anime is something that's quite large; people don't realise it ' personally, I love the fact that it's something that someone has drawn, which comes to life.¯
