Well the other day I got curious and was looking at Googe Trends to see how Anime was doing. I don't really know how accurate this is but I saw that there definitely was an increase but it was really shakey:



Why do you think this is? I am especially curious about the recent drop

Edit: The graph starts in 2004

I wouldn't call it a drop, you can probably associate each of those spikes to a particular show that was popular at the time, but yeah, increasing interest in anime as a whole is hardly surprising.

There's no timeline here but I'm guessing where it starts to really increase is around when Attack on Titan was booming.

Totally agree. Most genres in any entertainment ride the wive of their best examples momentum. Anime is no different.

Pretty sure streaming sites are also a reason for the increase in popularity.

I can't find anything surprising.Hentai is for research purposes.Searching anime for one time is enough to understand what it is I guess.

Digital/downloaded fansubs started in 2000, with fansubs being distributed on VHS for a decade or more before that. Oddly enough, the 2012-ish increase in the trend lines coincides with the decline of fansubs, as the replacement of files with fan-translated subtitles with direct rips of official streaming subs or fan-edits of those official subs was well underway at that point.

Everything that connects to MAL

i wonder if that also correlates with a raise in manga scanlations
