The Anime Cardfight!! Vanguard Begins Airing in Malaysia

Cardfight!! Vanguard started as a trading card game (TCG) in 2010 that was created and sold by Bushiroad. Vanguard has since went on to garner popularity in other forms of media such as anime and manga, both of which began in 2011. This year, Vanguard was also made into a television drama and a Nintendo 3DS game was announced. The character Daigo has been very prominent in the commercials for Vanguard.

Cardfight!! Vanguard has received acclaim both inside and outside of Japan. In 2011, the anime began broadcasting in Singapore, and in November of this year, it began broadcasting during primetime in Malaysia.

The expansion of Cardfight!! Vanguard to Singapore has been a huge success. The anime is popular, the TCG community is growing, and plans are expected to continue this expansion even further. Bushiroad currently has their eyes set on expanding to the entire Asian market. Vanguard’s expansion in America is also progressing, and Vanguard TCG tournaments are being held. At this rate, Cardfight!! Vanguard may become the most popular TCG in the world.
