According to the data, the first quarter of 2021 has seen demand skyrocket up to 32% higher. The report, which can be seen above, also shows the trend for all of 2020. It seems like the third quarter of last year peaked for anime, but its fourth quarter remained strong.
The Diverse Variety of Stories The wide range of genres in anime is the first reason why it is so popular. Every person enjoys a different story, genre, and style in anime! Romance, comedy, action/adventure, mystery/suspense, and horror are just a few of the many genres explored by anime plots.
Premiering in 1999, One Piece is an anime series about a pirate boy with a rubber body searching for a treasure to become the Pirate King. The show is still on the air with over 1,000 episodes broadcast thus far and counting. It’s one of the most popular anime series of all time. So much so that Netflix is even working on a live-action adaptation.
After One Piece, the three other 2021 anime shows that came in second were Pokemon, Naruto and My Hero Academia. Having Pokemon on the list makes sense, given that it is one of those gateway anime series that popularized the medium in the West. The story is of kids capturing wild creatures with powers and then battling other youth.
The latest volume of My Hero Academia came with such a bang that fans cannot but notice. The volume recently released in Japan came with a brand-new look at some of Class 1-B. However, the […]
The world of anime can be tough to dip into for new viewers as it can be a challenge knowing where to start, but the journey is well worth it as this genre features some of the best stories in all of entertainment. In 2021 alone, there were new anime episodes that stole our hearts and had us smiling, laughing, and crying throughout.
In an age of anime with titles like “Banished From the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside,” it’s nice to have shows like Oddtaxi that convey what it's about in just a single word.
At first glance, 86 feels like an echo of the recent Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, with the framing on child soldiers in war. What makes 86 stand out though is its focus on the intersection of classism, racism, and the morality of murder in a time of war.
Attack on Titan begins the first half of its final season with a time skip, big revelations about the past, and a deep dive into the world beyond the borders of Paradis Island. As always, there are massive battles, tragic deaths, and interesting new characters introduced.
Horimiya is a very special kind of anime where you find yourself smiling through half the episode, even when nothing funny is actually happening. It’s just that dang wholesome. It’s a high school romance slice of life that manages to subvert all of the usual tropes that typically come with that territory.
The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen feels like the beginning of something special – much like the first season of Attack on Titan felt way back in 2013, or more recently, the first season of Demon Slayer just two years ago.
In a time where every type of isekai is being developed, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation takes a joyful and wholehearted approach to the genre. The series follows a 34-year old underachiever, who dies after being run over by a bus only to start a new life in a new world as an infant.
Angels, spider mechs, and demon-slaying are just some of what you can expect this Fall 2021 anime season. We have a good amount of new anime for the Fall such as the action-packed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, hilarious Komi Can't Communicate, and the beautifully animated takt op.Destiny.
Calling all Death Note fans! The original Death Note writer and manga artist are the same team behind the Platinum End manga series and we’re now getting an anime adaptation! Platinum End follows Mirai, an orphaned student who attempts to take his own life. Just before Mirai does, an angel saves him because he wishes to be happy.
Sakugan follows Memenpu, a young girl who dreams of exploring the world outside her underground colony home. Her father forbids her from going but a life-changing event takes the pair down a different path. Sakugan gives off some emotional and shocking Made in Abyss vibes and we’re here for it.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is back this Fall to continue the rest of the season. The series follows Rudeus, a jobless slob who becomes reincarnated as a newborn baby in a world full of magic and monsters.
Ranking of Kings is one of the most heartwarming surprises this season. The series follows a young deaf prince, Bojji, who constantly gets ridiculed for his disability. Even his father, a giant king, insists that he become stronger for the kingdom’s sake.
Komi Can’t Communicate is a highly anticipated slice of life anime this Fall season. The series follows Komi, a popular student who as the title says “can’t communicate”. She meets a classmate named Tadano who notices her predicament and offers to help.
takt op. Destiny is an original anime announced alongside a game of the same series name. The series follows Takt, a pianist in a world where music is banned because it attracts monsters that inhabited the planet years ago.
