Demon Slayer has achieved a major accomplishment by surpassing One Piece’s rating on Crunchyroll, and the reason behind it is quite straightforward.
Despite being a relatively new addition to the shonen genre, Demon Slayer has quickly risen in popularity and become one of the most-watched anime shows in the world, while One Piece continues to reign as a shonen giant in the anime industry for nearly three decades.
In a recent development, Demon Slayer has surpassed One Piece in ratings on Crunchyroll. With a 4.9 rating and 523k votes from users, Demon Slayer has overtaken the long-running shonen anime, which has a 4.9 rating and 520k votes.
While Demon Slayer’s achievement is impressive, it may not come as a complete shock. One Piece has been on air for 25 years with over 1100 episodes, while Demon Slayer debuted in 2019 and has a larger online fanbase.
Despite the overwhelming length of One Piece, many new viewers are still hesitant to watch the anime. However, this is not the case for Demon Slayer, which currently has 56 episodes and one anime movie. This makes it an ideal series for beginners, contributing to its increasing number of fans.
The pacing of One Piece’s anime adaptation has been criticized by many, with some even attributing it to the decline in popularity. According to one Reddit user, “The anime’s pacing is terrible. If you’re interested in One Piece, I suggest reading the first few chapters of the manga.”
“Another person stated that while Demon Slayer excels in anime format, One Piece surpasses it in manga form. They also noted that the anime adaptation of Demon Slayer enhances the source material, while One Piece’s adaptation does the opposite.”
A third person pointed out, “The reason many people do not watch One Piece is because of its long episode count, so it is expected that Demon Slayer will have more episodes as it is an ideal anime for beginners.”
“The fourth person commented that it was unfortunate that One Piece had to have 300 episodes before getting a fight animated that could be compared to Gang vs UM6.”
Despite the fact that a larger audience or higher rating does not guarantee better quality content, it does indicate the perception of the audience. Perhaps both shows will learn from it and make necessary changes.
