One Piece is in a league of its own when it comes to international popularity, and the latest survey shows it

One Piece’s enduring popularity and significance have long been a topic of conversation within the anime community. While some fans have previously voiced concerns about its hype and suggested that its fame is confined to Japan, the series has consistently made international appearances and continues to top popularity polls.

Despite the small sample size, a recently released poll from a Japanese TV show has shown that Eiichiro Oda’s series, One Piece, is the most popular among fans in Paris. This has been seen as a testament to the widespread popularity of the series among international viewers by the One Piece fandom.

One Piece continues to dominate in latest popularity poll

Despite airing for over two decades, One Piece has maintained its relevance and remains one of the most influential series since its debut in the early 2000s. The anime has garnered a large and passionate fan base throughout its serialization, with some fans questioning whether its immense popularity is only confined to social media platforms.

According to the results of a recent survey of 100 Parisian residents, Eiichiro Oda’s series has emerged as the most popular manga among the participants. Despite facing tough competition from other highly-regarded series such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer, which have gained immense popularity within the fandom, this anime has secured the top spot in the rankings.

Fans’ Opinions on the Poll Results

Despite being in publication for decades, Eiichiro Oda’s series continues to dominate popularity polls, leading many fans to express their delight with the recent results.

It has been noted by others that the One Piece series continues to compete with the latest manga of the new generation, surpassing them despite being one of the longest-running series.

“One Piece competing with new gens while being the oldest ongoing manga. And it still wins.”one fan said.

“Yeah Naruto 2nd 🔥 and ofc, OP undeniably no. 1 in France,”another fan commented.

Despite the belief that adventure fantasy series are only popular in Japan, some fans have used this opportunity to debunk the myth, stating that this poll serves as evidence. However, others have criticized the fandom of the series, claiming that a poll of only 100 people holds little significance due to the small sample size.

“Its just crazy to me how people online still say “🤓 umm actually one piece is only popular in japan”,”another fan mentioned.

“100 people poll and the OP fandom is already going crazy. 100 people are not enough to even decide the most basic of things,”one fan wrote.

Despite the ongoing criticism directed towards Eiichiro Oda’s series and its dedicated fan base, there is no denying the significant impact that this series has had on the anime community as a whole.
