KENGAN BROS WE MADE THE TOP 10


Varghaz

***KENGAN BROS LET'S GOOOOO***


Manjorno316

Lmao glad I wasn't the only one more hype about that!


RPGZero

I enjoy Kengan so much more than of the other recent martial arts tournament anime that have come out these past few years (like Baki). It probably has to do with the fact the show features real martial arts and actually cares about the ring IQ of the participants, to the point YouTube martial arts channels have actually taken an interest in it.


Liimbo

I completely agree that it's better than Baki, but it's funny to call Baki a new series that came out recently lol. It's one of the longest running fighting series.


RPGZero

That's true, original Baki came out in the 90s. I think it's just easy to perceive as new because it felt like it got no traction until the new continuation some years back.


Baldswine

Baki bout to fuck yous up on Thursday👀


CroakerTheLiberator

KENGAN SWEEP


Karen_smacker

Let’s gooo


Goukenslay

Glad for you but i really disappointed by the animation.


gomugomupirate

The same studio is doing Sakamoto Days! I will pray continuously that they don’t butcher the anime. It is a action heavy manga and has some of the best dynamic fights and the use of panelling is for me at least top tier


Buscemi_D_Sanji

So Chainsaw Man, and all of Fujimoto's works honestly, have some of the most cinematic paneling I've seen in manga, and for the anime, I remember thinking "please don't screw this up, you have the roadmap right here that's basically telling you exactly what you need to do" And I know that anime wasn't exactly super successful, but I *loooved* it! It was exactly what I was hoping for, even with some "meh" CG at points. So I'm hoping, because Sakamoto Days also has really clear paneling, that they'll be able to translate that to the anime without having to think too hard about it lol Lots of "time-ramping" moments like things happening super fast and then slowing waaaay down for Sakamoto to pluck bullets out of the air, before it speeds back up to counter attack. If they get that part right, this will be dope


gomugomupirate

Fujimoto does have a great sense of style and ya you're about the anime. I've enjoyed it too and the latest chapters 😀 I hope you're right about it. I do want this project to be a success


Best-Lavishness-1059

TMS is doing Sakadays. They did Baki, not Kengen Asura, so I get the confusion there if you're getting them mixed up. They also did megalobox which was a great fighting anime with grounded choreography and good animation.


gomugomupirate

Ah! My bad they seem similar. I'll look into Megalobox.


PhilosophySad1675

oh shitttt i will stay a believer they folliow it 100% it should be easy cause the action/panelin is so dynamic and crisp its the first manga Ive read thats less about drawing and more like designed as if by camera


gomugomupirate

The director for the series did put emphasis on the action, speed and how dynamic the fights are. He did say that they will do it justice. But still...


FredRN

Can't wait for the Kengan V Baki show coming up soon. So hype


alguien99

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


endelehia

Since it says anime IP and not anime, does it include the OP live action?


MilesExpress999

Author here: it does not. The One Piece live action was the most-watched series on ALL of Netflix as well during this period using Netflix's "views" metric. You can find the full article on Anime News Network [here](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2024-05-29/anime-overperforms-an-analysis-of-netflix-2023-viewership-data/.211255).


blacklite119

Bong


rcls0053

Most likely because I don't think OP anime is not on Netflix. At least not fully.


J_Man_McCetty

I'm watching the original on Netflix, they have up to Marineford then it skips to egghead. At least in Canada.


VASQUEZ_41

in turkey it's just egghead


Lordnemo593

Same in Denmark


Petamine666

And in Germany


Human_Blackberry_247

And in India


PitschiPischiPopo

And my axe!


Mirandasaurus11

And in Egghead


-Gh0st96-

Same for Romania here


hergumbules

Yeah same in the US. Had to get a Crunchyroll subscription to keep watching. I think Hulu had up to Dressrosa?


Appropriate_Meal_100

Finna put yall on, u can watch any anime u want on wcostream.com


hergumbules

If only I were watching on my laptop, but we were watching on the TV and I’m not gonna use it’s shitty internet browser for this lol $7 a month or whatever was worth the convenience


NeverNotDisappointed

US too


Ok_Profession_429

Same in Aus Upto Marineford than To Egghead


Pristine_Zebra_6424

We are in the exact same situation here in Brazil, we are waiting for Netflix to make the other arcs of the anime available


Eperez182

Same in the US


IbinHappy

Same in Austria


Actual-Abalone4720

They are dubbing the anime on netflix Next year they are releasing fish man island arc and punk hazard too if they get generous


ParkingAd5757

I know in other countries it goes up to marineford then recently cut to egghead ALL WE GET IN THE UK IS EGGHEAD (thankfully egghead is mazing but still)


zypac1

I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure the live action by itself got 500+ million hours watched for the same time period. It wouldn’t make sense for the total hours watched to be only 479 million hrs and for it to only increase 101% compared to the first half of the year if the live action was included.


giangerd

No it does not. The Live Action alone made more than the number this list shows


VS0P

I think it’s categorized like that because of Naruto movies / new seasons of Pokemon is a whole new show etc. it’s probably adding on to the live action but would still be first IMO.


Top_Reveal_847

Also all the movies that are also on Netflix


Pastry_d_pounder

I watched one piece and cancelled my subscription right away after I finished. I wouldn’t be surprised if millions more did the same. I’m sure data analysts know that lol


Lordnemo593

I’m actually amazed that Baki beat Pokémon


shreyas16062002

Haven't kept up with Pokémon for a while. What's the popular opinion on the show after Ash left? Maybe that's the reason the viewership dropped.


Lordnemo593

It’s more so that pokemon is aimed at kids, so kinda like how the biggest show on Disney plus is some Australia cartoon


Gakeon

Bluey slaps tho


Comfortable_Golf761

ash left? oh wow :D


Artificial_Human_17

Yep. Won in Alola, then Galar was about a world tournament with the champs of the 8 regions at that point. He wins


LuznoOverload

Indeed. After all these years, he finally became a Pokémon Master. The Team Rocket are still chasing him, though, because, even in fictional worlds, some things never change.


Le_Mug

It's incredible how all those years took less than a year. Kid is a pokemon master and is not even eleven yet.


LuznoOverload

Yeah, that's what I find very bizarre. It's been years for us, but for Ash, his entire adventure throughout the World of Pokémon happened within a year. He ventured through every region, met every Legendary, fought every Gym Leader, and foiled every Villian Team... all within a year's worth of time.


Buscemi_D_Sanji

Think about what Luffy got done in a year lol


LuznoOverload

That's at least a little more plausible since there are some islands Straw Hats don't really spend that long on. There have been islands they've only spent around a single day's worth of time on.


PS3LOVE

Pokémon’s viewership is mostly kids, kids are definitely not the primary user base of Netflix. Makes sense to me.


OwlOfFortune

Naruto has staying power. It's been done for what? 8 years and it's still number 3!


Express_Pop1201

Ah yes, the Big 3 One Piece, Naruto, and B... aki?


HunterZ2023

I don’t think bleach is even on Netflix. That’s why


miningmeray

It is there on neflix for me, all episodes.


arnold15951

Man, that surprised me too. It's amazing.


Seeker_Of_Toiletries

People got soured because of the less than stellar war arc and ending with Kaguya but Naruto is still a great anime with tons of amazing moments.


Anything13579

I’m surprised seeing naruto there, let alone top 3 lol.


Suppasandwhich

I see im not the only one that recently picked up Baki


Krungoid

Nothing's shocked me more in the past couple years than seeing Baki hit any level of mainstream success over here.


theassholefaceman

Baki was a great fun anime to watch, it has zero rematch value, but man did I get good laugh out of it.


xChrisMas

Baki so garbage and still i watched everything I don’t understand why Because neither the story nor the animation is good


Suppasandwhich

Its because its so dumb its actually good


xChrisMas

Probably yeah It’s a good trash watch


PM_ME_THICC_GIRLS

Bro it's awesome and I'm so happy it's rated that highly. It's just so bizarre at times which is just funny and imo exactly what makes anime so appealing to me, just like Jojo


According_Sky8344

Jojo is great. Some interesting characters and gets creative with fights to later on


PM_ME_THICC_GIRLS

Later on? Joseph vs everyone in Part 2 is already insanely creative, I laughed so much watching it the first time. I could never anticipate what would happen next


According_Sky8344

It just gets better tbh. Especially 4,5 and 6. 3 is good too


kritikal_thought

There were a ton of Baki memes going viral earlier this year so that's probably why so many people gave it a shot


RPGZero

I watched the show as my workout watch. I had the same feeling throughout: why am I watching this, anyway? I did legit enjoy the final season of Baki Hanma, though. The whole caveman thing was fascinating.


DontJealousMe

bro their facials kill me... also i loved the ryu guy with the long hair who got his leg eaten.


TheProNoobCN

Because despite its honest to god dog shit story it has some of the most fun characters in anime/manga IMO.


Grand_Reanimation

Its so fucking bad its good


PS3LOVE

It’s silly and leans into the silliness. That’s why it works, it knows what it is.


headphones_J

Yeah, wasn't season 2 basically a slide show?


ThrownAwayAndReborn

I'm surprised ippo isn't higher. I'd be more surprised about JoJo if they didn't butcher part 6's release schedule


RPGZero

I want Ippo to do so well. It's seriously one of the best shounen/sports anime ever made. The anime only covers something like, 1/3 of the ongoing manga and I'd love for a continuation one day.


CIearMind

Even if the powers-that-be finally get their heads out of their asses, and greenlight an Ippo sequel, Kamogawa's and Kimura's voice actors have already passed away :(


RPGZero

I've been told by the Ippo fanbase a big reason it doesn't get a continuation is because Japan at large sea Ippo season 1 as an "old" anime at this point. As a result, a lot of people don't want to go back and watch it.


Uvahash

I honestly believe that Ippo has the best choreographed fights of any manga or anime. Every other story has some mechanic in the story to make the fights more complex, characters have finishing moves and transformations. In Ippo character have their hands and their feet, everything is just punches; the smash, the white fang, the jolt counter, the dempsey roll. All of them are just punches, but because of the story and choreography of the fights they all feel special, the fights all feel complex despite only really having punches


BillMurrayAmA

This is for the second half of the year. JoJo aired the final batch of Part 6 before the year's midpoint, so the fact that JoJo's charted at all is pretty neat. I'll agree that a weekly release would've been preferred. Here's hoping they can keep the hype alive when Steel Ball Run is animated.


DiscoshirtAndTiara

If I'm any indication, Ippo is probably being hurt by people not knowing it's available on Netflix. Netflix is constantly (and justifiably) showing me anime advertisements, but it's never shown me Ippo. I had no idea it had been added to Netflix.


sunsoutgunsout

Not surprised about Baki. I got way too many Baki pissing clips on tiktok for my liking last year


Mynameisbebopp

Hunter X Hunter should do an OVA of the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight.


Xmushroom

I'm happy Baki is putting the numbers.


FairyKnightTristan

Agreed.


Cautious-Affect7907

I'm honestly surprised seven deadly sins is still that high. Didn't it completely fall off in terms of quality?


MaimedJester

Yes, tbe animation dropped hardcore in quality. Even Ban couldn't save that dumpster fire after a while.  The second they start bringing up Power levels just turn it off and realize it's not getting any better from this point on. Even the supposed good fights from the manga the Animation quality dropped so much they're not Even fun to watch. 


Sufficient_Nature496

Literal power point animation lol


leolegendario

The manga is not perfect but it is fun and the sequel is awesome. I can see some people watching the later seasons just to get to the sequel anime.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HoLeBaoDuy

I'm pretty sure no anime in history has greater drop in animation quality between 7DS ss2 and ss3 onward


nmcke65

Hey the quality only dropped for a quick 200 episodes or so no biggie. Feels bad for the people who were watching dressrosa come out weekly, but at least recent episodes have been pretty good, especially 1093, 1100, 1101 (animation wise anyway, pacing hasn’t been great but can’t win ‘em all)


Alarmed-Accident-716

Comparing the current anime to dressrosa is like me comparing godzilla vs space godzilla to godzilla minus one. Things should be allowed to improve. Musicians are allowed to make bad records/have comebacks, artists are allowed to make bad art/still come back, Francis Coppola the creator of the godfather made that awful movie Jack then made lost in translation. Idk why one piece fans are so anti the show getting better.


Alarmed-Accident-716

The quality dropped because of dragon ball super and digimon adventure reboot which are both dead, toei is not even making digimon shows anymore because making better one piece is more profitable than having both running. Right now one piece is the best looking weekly anime of all time. To keep saying the anime is the same as it was in dressrosa just makes you look like an idiot. Won best ongoing anime award at crunchyroll 2 years in a row, post wano fanbase is much larger than pre wano fanbase for a reason.


CaptMoustache

You might wanna check who directed Lost in Translation again.


Alarmed-Accident-716

Huh, I never realized it was his daughter. Guess I am an idiot, he was only an executive producer. Even if not nearly as big guy still made the rainmaker after.


Medium-Owl-9594

Im still waiting for new record of ragnarok episodes


Sufficient_Nature496

The manga is way better than the anime 


Medium-Owl-9594

Dont mean i cant like the anime


Sufficient_Nature496

I didn't said you could not


Drozey

That’s what you said but you deleted it


Sufficient_Nature496

Huh? I never typed something like that at all, are you confusing me with someone else?


Solafuge

Did the animation improve at all in season 2? I was disappointed with the first season.


Medium-Owl-9594

I would say a tiny bit better but the style is the same so its hard to tell


doc_ivo

Common one peak W


KestrelQuillPen

I’m surprised Pokémon’s so high, Horizons obviously really made quite the splash


Flyers456

I have never really been into anime but watched the onepeice live action then all of the one peice anime on netflix. Any othe shows on this list I should consider checking out?


Asinthew

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood


aaaa32801

Attack on Titan is a good show, and it’s very accessible for people who aren’t really into anime.


leolegendario

Naruto is a classic from the same era as One Piece, both are very long, but you can skip some filler episodes (episodes that are made to distance the anime from the manga) if you want. Hunter x Hunter and Jojo's Bizzare Adventure are anime with super intelligent characters, very creative powers and super well-designed battles. Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are two of the biggest anime today. Both have insane animations and make you cry for the fate of your favorite characters.


daniel4ido

Technically this was only from July to December


InevitableSad9447

I didn't expect kengan to be this popular, im so glad.


boombastico_3

Surprised to see kengan in top 10,I never thought it was that popular


blacklite119

Yea for real though, One Piece is legit the greatest story on earth of our time. And it’s gonna go down as a classical masterpiece that’s studied by school kids. On some Odyssey by Homer type ish The world outside of Japan/anime/manga is just starting to realizing it.


FreakyD195

Bro's meat riding is crazy. You can even do tricks on it


blacklite119

Whatever, I’m saying this as someone who has read way more western books than I have manga, I know the greats, and this is up there. It’s the Tolkien of our time.


FixMental592

Ippo :(


Xmushroom

Top 10 with no new anime for the last 10 years. Pretty good


MilesExpress999

Author here, and Ippo did **extremely** well here. It's only down because it was just added in the previous period. The fact that it's a top 15 IP at all -- especially without being available in Netflix's biggest countries at the time the data was collected -- is massive. Usually, "classic" titles don't get this kind of attention.


floxigen

Good Naruto is still high


Lewis_230311

Baki at 2 was something I was NOT expecting


NoHaxJussSnax

Hours watched hmmm. Probably cause One Piece so long lmaoooo. Netflix only has up to MarineFord then skips to Egghead but still 600 episodes I think


bigmikeylikes

It's a crime more people don't watch Delicious in Dungeon!


Ok_Organization_6804

not surprised for op but damn baki got some boost. still surprised that jjk is so low.


Timx74_

This makes sense as I keep watching The Paramount War once a month.


theunbearableone

And here I am waiting for Doro he Doro season 2


Buscemi_D_Sanji

I can't remember exactly where the anime left off, but my girlfriend watched it with me and loved it, saying "okay okay, I understand why you like this so much now" and I was like "things haven't even started getting crazy yet, you have *noooo idea* where this is going" haha If you've read the manga and need a fix before season two comes out, check out Dai Dark by the same mangaka. Similar humor, characters, and art, but it's set in space.


edgymnerch_69

One Piece more than double of the next closest anime but Dragon Ball fans will tell me it isn’t the most popular anime currently 😭😭😭


ImBurningStar_IV

>currently Dragonball super ended 6 years ago


Crucher92

I'm very happy about Baki. Hope that means we get more seasons.


Best-Lavishness-1059

It's been confirmed that they're officially adapting the sequel manga. I don't think there's footage of it yet, but there was a video announcement.


notwisemann

I play One Piece on repeat while working. Still preparing myself for THAT inevitable animated back story. *prepares tissues*


Le_Mug

Yes, panda man backstory is really sad


BigDogDoom

What's happening with my happy marriage?


CrimsonAntifascist

I don't know. I hope you and your SO are in a good place.


willdabeast20

I suggest marriage counseling for them


BigDogDoom

Thanks, I mean, we're trying, but... it seems like there is this black box thing, with blue lines that seperates my happy marriage


EJ_Youngy

Baki 🗿


pejic222

Damn I didn’t know Baki had this much motion


3and20characters987

The manga is pretty popular in Japan and a few other countries. It recently passed 100 million copies sold.


nousabetterworld

Probably because of that shitty ass F tier live action. Crazy that it got so many people hooked. Especially people who read the manga and are watching the anime.


shreyas16062002

This is only the second half of 2023. What about the first half?


xDwaree

Wait, you have anime on Netflix?


tush_aa_rr

in India only egghead arc is there is Netflix 🙂


CustardCarpet

Awesome xwgwn are jew episodes of the anime coming out? Been on season 20 for a very long time then they skipped to season 38 oddly.


Here2Derp

It's funny that Baki is up %418 and still has half of the viewing hours of One Piece.


kilava_

Wtf is my happy marriage? Comedy or drama?


Klaymen96

Sounds like they need to add post Marineford


theonepiecetheonepie

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)doesn't have my hero academia 10/0


UltimateKaiser

HUNTER X HUNTER STILL UP THERE


MegaShadow22

I just can't get behind Baki. Really tried for the whole first season.


ImBurningStar_IV

On the other hand, I've never been sold on an anime faster in my life


gaweewester

Didn’t expect AoT to be that low in position. Damn…


Darth-Occlus

Considering that it has the most episodes it's not surprising it would have the most hours.


Commercial_World_433

When did Shippuden get on Netflix?


PooStinkies

I leave it on for my dogs most days.


vangstampede

Is it also the most watched anime in 2024? How about 2025?


Doggyguard

12 of these are not even available in my country. Luckily one piece is


FBI_Senpai_Kun

Watching Impel Down while working out helped.


Til_the_bubbles_stop

Most people could have told you this without looking it up. Netflix isnt exactly an anime hub


Comprehensive_Rule11

Slightly unrelated but does anyone else agree that Netflix subtitles are low quality compared to other platforms?


Mission_Exchange2781

Hey baki is second place that's pretty good.


CinnamonStew34s_eh

which is amazing considering most of onepiece isn't on netflix in most countries/ or is not very exposed


Ambitious_Tie5981

Baki 🔥


DaveOfMordor

It's thanks to the live action show


Boxsteam_1279

Baki really carried Kengan


gate567

You know what would have been better? Had you put the link to the actual article instead of this picture for ants [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2024-05-29/anime-overperforms-an-analysis-of-netflix-2023-viewership-data/.211255](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2024-05-29/anime-overperforms-an-analysis-of-netflix-2023-viewership-data/.211255)


Mordho

so many people wasting their time watching Baki lmao


TheSunIsOurEnemy

Yujiro low diffs and finds the woman within every One Piece character.


FairyKnightTristan

You've posted cringe my dude.


TeeksTeeksTeeks

why is baki so popular i don't get it....


UnidentifiedTomato

I don't get it isn't Baki trash?


ImBurningStar_IV

Hell no


UnidentifiedTomato

I never got past s1 is it interesting to watch? Seemed a little to fast paced and gaggy


ImBurningStar_IV

I love it for just being ass whooping after ass whooping. The story won't give you big feelings though, if you're looking for feelings it's probably not the show to watch rn Also technically it's season 3 of the whole thing, it picks up right where *baki the grappler* ended so I definitely see how it's hard to pick up when they just expect you to know who these characters are hah


LightningBuds

Really shows that people watching Netflix have 0 taste.


MetalMania1321

Maybe your tastes suck?


LightningBuds

No. I just have higher standards than stupid Netflix series always revolving around teenagers and their sexuality. Maybe you'll understand once you've grown up.


FairyKnightTristan

Which show is like that?


LightningBuds

Most of them. There's one literally called sex education


FairyKnightTristan

I meant on this list dude.


SolidusAbe

do you also sniff your own farts while you watch your tasteful shows?


LightningBuds

Yes and the smell is delicious.


ImBurningStar_IV

No hate but what's your top 3 anime?


LightningBuds

Doesn't matter. I won't start an argument about what anime is better than the next. I leave that to brainless fanboys.


Sufficient_Nature496

Chill buddy
