anime merch in america is very not subtle.

not everything as subtle as jimmy choo but arent as obvious as target/hot topic merch, but taiwanese retailer grace gift did SM collab. https://www.sailormooncollectibles.com/2018/04/13/sailor-moon-crystal-x-grace-gift-fashion-collaboration/

i got a luna purse from em that that isnt exactly original idea but i thought it looked sleeker than most out there. plus it has the moon stick charm which was a nice touch.

These are so cute!!!

Actually, they remind me so much of fan-made merch, where it's recognizable to those who know the series. I would love a couple pair of those sneakers, bag, and choker.

I think it speaks to a larger problem of animation not taken seriously as a medium as to why anime merch seems so juvenile. Sailor Moon has been around since the 90s and had a generation grow up with the series well into adulthood. I'd just wish American retailers would see the potential in that. I think that's why fan merch is significantly better because it's made with love by the fans.

I just wish we had the same access Japanese fans have to official Sailor Moon merch that wasn't designer.

and the thing is the demand is there. anime merch is truly exploding cuz anime has become more mainstream. its just we are getting oversaturated with very needless anime merch lol. like no, put away the random ass naruto cookie jar set.
