These aren’t the initial discussion points I was meaning to bring up, @omic, but just some quick additional information - while I have a moment.
Yeah, I agree, the ‘Anime Poker Cards’ are bootlegs.
As is often the case, bootleggers steal existing designs from disparate sources.
For example, they will often feature different design styles within a given product.
This is because the sources range from screenshots, calendar scans, book covers, posters etc.
There’s a bit of a discussion here:
Some of the ones you posted have designs lifted from this calendar:

They didn’t even bother to remove the text which says 1999 Calendar from this card.
It’s mainly just a matter of identifying where the art from each originates and seeing how it is presented.
On the subject of the Netz Toyota cards, there’s a seller on ebay selling singles from an opened deck. It’s basically a green deck. I don’t know if all Netz Toyota decks are green, or whether there is the potential to get red/yellow/blue cards also.
Netz Toyota actually has quite a history with promotion campaigns involving Pokemon merchandise. If I recall correctly, they did some stamp rally kind of events early on.
Anyway, these are some other Netz Toyota non-card items I have come across:
@omic What do you mean by the first 4 decks are random?
