Anime used to be something that wasn’t watched by many people all around the globe except for Japan. However, nowadays anime has become very popular. Contrary to how it used to be, nowadays people judge others who have not heard about anime and are prejudiced against it simply because it is animated.
Netflix in particular has become a site that contains some of the most popular and best anime. Netflix releases a top 10 global chart every week and anime took up 3 of the 10 spots. Fans are curious about this news.
Has Netflix Helped In Increasing Anime’s Popularity?
Netflix has some of the best anime. These anime include but are not limited to ‘Death Note’, ‘Demon Slayer’, ‘One Piece’ and countless others. Outside of the shonen genre, other genres are also available on Netflix. Netflix is one of the reasons why anime became this popular. Earlier people had to buy subscriptions to sites like Crunchyroll to watch anime or resort to illegal sites such as GoGoanime to watch their favorite shows. However, now they can find some of the best anime on Netflix which makes it easier for them to watch anime and has in turn increased its popularity.
There is not one most popular anime on Netflix, but there are many. Certain animes became popular because they were on Netflix and people who aren’t big fans of anime also watched those anime. Some examples of such anime are ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, ‘Demon Slayer’, and ‘Spy X Family’. Therefore it can be said that Netflix has helped in increasing the popularity of anime.
