Anime’s global reach continues to expand, with streaming giants like Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Amazon Prime pushing the genre into mainstream consciousness. Shows like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan are breaking viewership records.
The global popularity of anime has seen unprecedented growth in the past few years. Streaming services have become the key players in distributing anime worldwide. Crunchyroll, which specializes in anime streaming, has merged with Funimation, creating a vast catalog of anime content, from cult classics to new releases.
On platforms like Netflix, anime has become a central part of their original programming. Shows such as Devilman Crybaby and Aggretsuko have garnered huge international followings, and Netflix has been quick to invest in new anime productions, commissioning series like The Way of the Househusband and Yasuke.
In terms of global viewership, shows like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen have been breaking records, not only in Japan but also internationally. The success of Demon Slayer, with its stunning animation by Ufotable, has contributed to a surge in anime’s cultural influence worldwide, creating a new generation of anime fans across diverse demographics.
This increase in demand for anime content has led to a massive rise in merchandise sales, cosplay, and conventions around the world, making anime a multi-billion-dollar industry.
