This year has seen a ton of new Sailor Moon-themed products, since it is the 20th anniversary of the classic anime, as well as the year the new Sailor Moon 2013 cartoon will be released by [Toei Animation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-ball-z-1) in December. To amp up for this event, [Bandai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmade-snack-charm) created these adorable Sailor Moon-inspired chopsticks, made entirely in pink to look just like the Moon Stick, Moon Rod and Pink Moon Stick. The cool chopsticks are available to pre-order from Bandai and although they would make awesome Christmas gifts for fans of the Sailor Moon franchise, unfortunately the chopstick sets will not be available until March of 2014. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Anime-themed Merchandise:** Creating anime-themed products inspired by popular characters can generate interest and sales among fans. - **Collector's Items:** Designing unique and limited edition products can attract collectors and increase demand. - **Cultural Influences:** Incorporating cultural elements into products can appeal to specific target markets and create a sense of nostalgia. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Merchandising:** The merchandising industry can capitalize on the popularity of anime franchises by creating themed products like chopsticks sets. - **Collectibles:** The collectibles industry can benefit from producing limited edition items like anime-inspired chopsticks that fans can collect and trade. - **Gifts and Souvenirs:** The gifts and souvenirs industry can offer unique and cultural items, such as anime-themed chopsticks, as souvenirs or gifts for fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Anime Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-x-sailor-moon.md) - [Anime-Themed Snack Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/going-merry-snack-set.md) - [Magical Anime-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardcaptor-sakura-pizza.md) - [Anime-Themed Office Stamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/showa-note-pikachu-date-stamps.md) - [Fandom Cosplay Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huntrx-cosplay-light-stick-toy.md) - [Culture-Honoring Spiralled Chopsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rassen-chopstick.md) - [Moon Viewing Cafe Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-japan-tsukimi-collection.md) - [Anime-Inspired Mood Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-d-luffy-hat.md) - [Moon Festival-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mos-burger-2.md)
