What are the most popular anime of all time?

It's hard to win an argument against smart people, but impossible to win an argument against dumb ones.

@SmashBlack, I love how you never tell your opinions for your message when you make a thread, not any sort on context either.

I was subconsciously thinking more about the west and I actually forgot about it's insane global popularity haha. Thanks for mentioning it.

Yeah, It's very popular and iconic.

It's definitely not Death Note.

Probably Pokémon. People of all ages, genders, and different continents have heard of this and have probably interacted with the franchise in some way, whether that be watching the anime, playing the games, or collecting the cards

Definitely Pokémon, it’s one of the highest grossing franchises of all time. While a large portion of that came from the games and merchandise it doesn’t change the fact that Pokémon is massive and if you haven’t heard of or seen the anime you’ve probably heard of or even played the games.

Pokemon, Astro boy, Dragon Ball.

Those three are the ones to come to my mind first. Others aren't as popular, such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etch.


I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao

I know about thousands of things I never have watched or will watch. And so do you. Naruto is not special because of that. Naruto wouldn't even be in my top 10 list of widely known shows I haven't watched, #1 in that list is Pokemon. Your sweeping generalization of your individual world view is not appropriate. You confuse "famous" and "popular". Example: Adolf Hitler is famous (the "notorious" flavor of fame, of course), that doesn't make him popular today.

Problably Naruto. Pokemon and DBZ are very well know to everybody (specially Pokemon), but at least in the country I'm from, most people know but haven't watched them, but A LOT of people around 8-14 years old have watched Naruto

If you ignore this three, AOT most problably, it's currently the most viewed fictional show in the USA, beating things like Game of Thrones, Spongebob, Stranger Things and many others
