With 2024 in the books, we’ve been taking a look back at what dominated the Netflix top 10s throughout the year and today, we turn to anime. Below, we’ve filtered through all the global top 10 data to find out which 50 anime series and movies picked up the most amount of points in the daily Netflix top 10s in over 90 countries.
Full disclosure: I’m not an anime aficionado, so my definition of what counts as an anime may be different from yours. For the most part, animated shows from American studios wouldn’t be considered anime, but we’ll be including a select few (primarily titles from Powerhouse Animation), for the most part, this list will be comprised of Japanese productions.
This list uses data from FlixPatrol, which collects the daily top 10s in all countries worldwide and assigns point values to each title that features. It’s by no means the best measurement of what’s the most watched, but it provides a sense of which titles are featured the most and, as we designate them, are popular. There are a bunch of caveats, too, such as some of the titles listed below are not global releases and, therefore, will struggle to pick up more points because they’re effectively frozen out. Then you’ve got countries that rarely see anime in the TV or movie top 10s, so they are frozen out that way. No measure will be perfect until we get the second Netflix Engagement Report for the second half of 2024 in early Spring.
This is our third “most popular” recap of the 2024 list, with previous lists covering the most popular documentaries of 2024 and the most popular kids’ titles.
