Cool credit


There is money to be made in niche markets. Especially in the internet age.

And nowhere does niche better than Japan.

It's a place where even sub-culture groups have sub-cultures.

Anime however is anything but. It's totally mainstream. As anyone who's been to Japan will tell you.

Which is why it should not come as a surprise to see the introduction of anime related credit cards.

The one in the picture is from the popular game Love Plus.

Best of all the card also comes with a student ID card from the Towano Private School featured in the game.

Can you imagine a bank in Australia doing something like this?

I certainly can't.

ANZ actually lets you personalize your credit card with any image you want (that you can upload from your computer then design on their website).

Japan still does it better by having pre-made cards/student ID toys with the card though.
