Toei Animation’s “One Piece” has emerged as the top-rated TV series for the first half of 2024 on IMDb, surpassing heavyweight competitors like “Shogun” and “X-Men 97.” According to IMDb, a prominent media review site, “One Piece” holds a stellar user rating of 9.0 out of 10. It’s the only Japanese anime and the sole TV series to achieve such a high score in the top 10 rankings.
Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 highest-rated TV series on IMDb for the first half of 2024:
- One Piece
- Shogun
- X-Men 97
- The Bear

IMDb specifies that to qualify for these rankings, series must have premiered new seasons between January 1, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and garnered a significant number of votes within that period. “One Piece” not only secured the top spot overall but also claimed one of the highest-rated episodes of the year with Episode 1112, “Clash! Shanks vs. Eustass Kid,” scoring an impressive 9.8/10.
Beyond its anime success, the broader “One Piece” franchise is thriving in 2024. The live-action adaptation’s second season received acclaim during a Netflix preview this month, underscoring the franchise’s multi-platform appeal. Additionally, Eiichiro Oda’s original “One Piece” manga continues to be a bestseller, positioning itself strongly amidst competitors like “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End,” “The Apothecary Diaries,” and “Jujutsu Kaisen,” which have faced extended hiatuses this year.
Fans eager to follow “One Piece” can catch the anime on Crunchyroll, with Netflix offering episodes a week behind the latest releases. The series follows Monkey D. Luffy’s unwavering pursuit to become the Pirate King, navigating perilous waters and pursuing the legendary treasure known as the One Piece.
In summary, “One Piece” not only dominates IMDb’s ratings for 2024 thus far but also continues to captivate audiences across various mediums, cementing its status as a powerhouse in the world of anime and entertainment.
