3, 2, 1, post time! Today's blog post will be a list of three surprisingly popular Sanrio characters. Along with this, I'll be giving my thoughts on why I think it's odd for these characters to be so popular. There are a lot of Sanrio characters, but some of the popular ones don't quite match the others. So, let's talk about that. Now then, on with the list! Enjoy!

1.) Aggretsuko - It's surprising how popular this character has become; especially since she's nothing like the others. Yes she's still cute, but she also swears, drinks, and holds a corporate job. However, her popularity most likely comes from relatability.

2.) Gudetama - Ah, the lazy egg. Not quite as cute as the others, and not nearly as peppy. But, Gudetama still managed to rocket to the top. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the lack of spunk this egg has, but it's still pretty odd.

3.) Little Twin Stars - These two may not be as popular as the others, but they've gained enough attention to get a Sanrio boy. Although they're cute and peppy like the others, they're not animals at all. Instead, they're some of the only popular human-like characters. Because of this, it's surprising they became as popular as they have.
