Synopsis
- ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ secured the Guinness World Record as the “world’s most popular animated shows of 2023.”
- The show dethroned Attack on Titan and One Piece.
- The anime resonated with the younger audience, with Gen Z (ages 13-22) comprising 71.3% of viewers.
Without a doubt, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ stands out as one of the best Shounen anime series to ever be created. It effortlessly incorporates humor into its storytelling, yet still manages to convey a sense of weight and seriousness in the most critical moments.
Unsurprisingly, the show continues to draw a huge audience and has cemented its position as the most sought-after animated TV series globally.
In 2023, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ claimed the Guinness World Record for being the “world’s most popular animated show”, surpassing the previous record holders Attack on Titan and One Piece.
The second season was truly remarkable, far surpassing our expectations. The first few episodes focused on the history of Geto and Gojo, who would eventually become the pivotal figures in the plot.
The subsequent section focused on the “Shibuya Incident arc,”which is widely considered to be one of the most brutal and intense arcs in anime history. This extended arc had a profound impact on the overall storyline, transforming the series from being simply “well-executed but generic”to standing out among others.
Despite fierce competition from other popular anime like One Piece and Attack on Titan, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ emerged as the most popular anime of the year thanks to its end-of-year surge in popularity. The show’s younger audience, with 71.3% of viewers falling into the Gen Z age group (ages 13-22), resonated strongly with the series. This enthusiastic fan base played a major role in giving ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ the winning edge.
The news of the show’s world record has only added to the excitement of fans worldwide for season 3, which is expected to cover the culling game arc. This recent development has only increased their confidence in the series and their anticipation for future high-quality production.
