Recently, TikTok Japan announced its most popular 2022 trends in an event in Tokyo last December 6. There, the biggest trends in the country were revealed, including the Top Phrase Award which was won by Spy x Family’s Anya (via Mantan Web).
Spy x Family’s Popularity
The Spy x Family anime premiered back in April, and it has since become one of the most popular shows of the year. Anywhere you go, you will no doubt see something related to the series, whether you’re online or at an anime convention. Its popularity is thanks to a range of reasons, among them is its interesting premise. After all, a story involving a spy father, assassin mother, and telepath daughter is a recipe for hilarity. Add to that a colorful cast of supporting characters and great animation, it’s no surprise that the show became such a huge hit as it continues to top streaming charts. Another reason the show became popular is Anya Forger’s wide range of meme-worthy faces. You’ve no doubt seen Anya’s smug ‘heh’ face along with her various panicking and overconfident expressions. Though what’s surprising is that it’s not Anya’s meme faces that took the top trending spot in TikTok Japan’s ranking. Instead, it’s a line that she says in the first episode.
