Jujutsu Kaisen has officially dethroned the long-reigning champion Attack On Titan as the world’s most in-demand animated TV show. This accolade comes as data-science firm Parrot Analytics unveiled its latest findings, which revealed that Jujutsu Kaisen boasts a global demand rating 71.2 times greater than the average show.
This demand was calculated based on consumer attention, engagement, desire, and viewership. The firm analyses billions of data points daily, including streaming activity, social media engagement, and online research behavior.
Jujutsu Kaisen edged out One Piece and Attack On Titan to claim the top spot.
Despite One Piece experiencing a surge in popularity due to Netflix’s live-action adaptation, and Attack On Titan maintaining its fanbase throughout its final season, the release of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episodes in the latter half of 2023 fueled its increased demand, reaching its peak on Dec 29 at 128 times the demand of the average show.
Moreover, Jujutsu Kaisen appears to resonate strongly with a younger demographic compared to One Piece and Attack on Titan. Gen Z viewers (aged 13-22) make up 71.3% of its audience, compared to 56.7% for One Piece and 64.4% for Attack on Titan. All of this played a key role in propelling the anime to the top spot.
Jujutsu Kaisen is an anime television series based on Gege Akutami’s manga of the same name.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 aired from July 6 to Dec 28, 2023. The season ran for two continuous cours and adapted the manga’s “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death” and “Shibuya Incident” story arcs.
