So, I've seen many people posting that the world loves this anime. I was wondering if this is true? This topic is not meant to be a hate comment, and I'll admit it's most likely impossible to know if an anime is liked that much. I was just wondering if there were any backings to this, is all.

If I’m not mistaken, the “Anime Man” worked with MAL to see the top anime in each country and I think Steins;Gate and FMAB were favorited the most. But I don’t remember.
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

It's highly acclaimed outside the anime community and really popular, but not loved by the world.. like not everyone likes the show.

Attack on Titan is the biggest and most popular anime in the world right now. Millions of people have watched the series and millions more, at the very least, know about it; something very few franchises are lucky enough to experience

If an anime can make people watch videos about a fucking centipede, you bet it's popular and liked.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

Offcourse it it's,it's most demanded show in 2021,that record previously hold by walking dead and game of thrones so u can see the level of popularity and love,and i have seen even non anime watchers watching attack on Titan and loving it's like one of the most influential show in this dacade.yeah but there are haters as well which are loud minority and toxic as we see in past when aot is consistently downvoted on mal and IMDb.
Ratings doesn't matter only enjoyment does.
Masterpiece or mid, generic or fresh,best or worst are all subjective
Eren is goat,and aot is still a masterpiece (eg.subjective opinion)

of course not everyone will love it
but I would say those who watch and know it,
70% of them love it and 30% don't love it hence that's why it's popular.

that's my opinion

Probably it is. It was the most In-Demand show in 2021, which was previously won by GoT or Walking Dead etc.

And besides that, even many non-anime fans know it, and love it.

The people who hate it are mainly some toxic "elit" anime fans, who are saying its trash, because its not that popular as their favourite show, but they simply can't give you normal,valid reason, just the "its trash, its overrated, bla bla bla".

And as i see, the majority of people love it, not only in Japan or the USA but also in other coutries as well.

I know it's not that relevant, but if you check several websites for TV shows rating, u can see it has a decent or even a very good rating with so many highly rated episodes despite the downvoting.

If you win, you live, if you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win.

AOT is one of the most popular anime and a gateway for majority of anime fans. Evern the non anime fans like it. Currently it's the most in demand TV series in the world.


It also sets Guinness World record for being Most in-demand anime TV show.
https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/566455-most-in-demand-anime-tv-show

On the other hand in most of the rating website AOT is rated higher despite of massive downvoting by the haters. Currently more then 60+ episode is rated above 9 in IMDb and 2 of its episode rank 1st and 2nd.

It is the most engaging an anime can be and can be loved by non-anime watchers as well. It is unprecedented phenomenon and has defined the 2010s era of anime along with Hunter x hunter , Steins gate etc.

Ohh yeah you're right, I recall watching that video but I think it was 2 or 3 years old. The most popular or favorite animes surely must have changed. Even if it didn't , aot did get top3 in many countries.
P. S : I remember ishozoku reviewers was also top in many countries at that time xD. So yeah this was probably during 2020

almost every anime and manga has a fanbase much bigger than the ones who dislike each particular title, so they are all loved by the world in some sense, but it is true that shingeki no kyojin is currently the most popular ongoing seasonal anime in most regions

that statement does not really make sense because the term "anime watcher" is vague and you did not define it, also different regions have different anime and manga in the popularity

virtually every single person in the world has watched anime at some point when things like Pokemon, Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh! exist that come to you by default, if by anime watcher you mean specific the demographics that watch multiple seasonal anime each season, then yes Shingeki no Kyojin is most likely the top right now and it can be seen just from myanimelist alone

Those who don't watch anime are non anime watchers for example some of my friends don't watch animes they still know Goku and eren BTW cartoon and anime are different terms, people had sure watched cartoon but not everyone have watched anime, still what i commented was just for fun in a meme way.

Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Digimon are all anime if you were referring to the examples i gave, Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise of all time and almost every single person in the world has interacted with it at some point, it is unavoidable, cartoons are mostly a western thing but even there anime is more widespread, this is also why western franchises such as the witcher, underworld etc get anime adaptions now, moreover all of the western countries combined make up less than 6% of the total population and the natives are actually on the decline and replacement by immigration, so in a sense it is the other way around, people had sure watched anime but not everyone cartoon, that is mostly due to titles like pokemon, yu-gi-oh, digimon, hello kitty and the likes of those being everywhere.

WTF is digimon and yugi oh bruh? Seriously? Pokemon, Doraemon Everyone knows. Even Naruto, Goku are known. Eren is still not at that level and probably won't be because AoT is not a kids show. But after kids shows I think Eren is the most popular character.

Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, Hello Kitty and Doraemon are more popular than all of the ones you mentioned in the first comment, just from merchandise and commercialization alone they top franchises like Dragon Ball and Naruto by far, One Piece is certainly more popular than attack on titan and death note, it has the best selling manga of all time and is one of the longest running anime, moreover both Steins Gate and Fullmetal Alchemist are very well known franchises but not as much as the ones above, it also depends on region and season

this is a little off topic but judging from your comments in general, you seem to be either american or you try to act like one, because you view things from a very small westerner circle, and you also use the english language in a vulgar way with all that swearing, that kind of lowlife is common there

I'm Asian. Most of your "Popular anime" like digimon, yuri oh, kitty, puppy shows don't even exist in my country. Doraemon, DBZ and Pokemon are universal. One Piece is popular, my ass. It's highest selling Manga! Japan! No one outside Japan reads comics in 2022. Japanese people are all perverts and weird. They have their own culture. From "Anime" excluding kids shows, Death Note, Naruto and AoT are most popular here. Stein's Gate, FMAB, One Piece are thin air here

I personally think it is a bit overrated, its all good and stuff, but it's just overhyped. It is very popular so for some people it might be close to the first impression... and I can't say its a bad first impression.

MAL’s commenting is weird now. I’m not sure if the whole thing is for me or part is for me and part is for the other dude. First the topic is which anime is loved by the world, or which anime is everyone’s favorite. While Pokémon being the most recognized anime in all of history and followed close with things like Digimom Yugioh and Shounen classics, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s loved by the world. I read it basically which anime is their favorite. And even though those anime are well known, that doesn’t mean it’s loved by the world. Also please don’t be rude to others to try to bolster your ego. It’s not mature and if you think this dude is a lowlife, you’re much worse in trying to tear someone down. Please refrain from doing that to people it only makes you look worse.

Yeah, that’s true. Honestly probably only 1-5% of anime watchers use MAL. But I wasn’t necessarily thinking about which anime was well known in the world but what was loved by the world. Like which anime are anime that most people love in the world. And those anime you named seemed to be loved by a really close following while others outside of it dont like it. That’s kinda the way I was thinking
