Getting your little ones to switch from diapers without raising a stink isn't impossible though thanks to creative minds who come up with things like this [cartoon from Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veefriends-cartoons). The instructional video features a striped little anime cat who tells his mom that his tummy feels strange. His parents bring him to the bathroom where the [little kitty jumps on the toilet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-cat-toilet) as his parents cheer him on. The subtitles are probably more crude than they should be, but it's hilarious nonetheless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Digital Parenting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop interactive digital content, such as animated videos, to assist parents with various aspects of parenting, including potty training. - **Gamified Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize gamification techniques in educational materials, like this anime cartoon, to make learning more engaging and effective for children. - **Cross-cultural Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create cross-cultural media content to connect diverse audiences and introduce different parenting and educational practices from around the world. ### Where This Applies - **Parenting and Family Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative products and services that cater to the needs of modern parents, providing them with practical and entertaining solutions for parenting challenges. - **Edtech:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine educational content with technology to create immersive and interactive learning experiences for children, helping them acquire new skills and knowledge in engaging ways. - **Multimedia Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new forms of multimedia entertainment that merge different cultural elements, delighting audiences with unique and diverse content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Potty Training Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potty-with-pullups-ft-disney-jr.md) - [Potty Training Memberships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-potty-school.md) - [Demonic Parenting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oni-kara-denwa-app.md) - [Two-in-One Toilet Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potty-pods.md) - [Educational Anime Mini Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/final-test-duolingo.md) - [Optimized Bathroom Training Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-health.md) - [AI Puppy Potty Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puppy-potty-pal.md) - [Children-Empowered Adorable Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nehnehbaby.md) - [Language Platform Anime Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duolingo-6.md)
