Whats the most popular anime in the world?!?
Hey,
Ive been wondering what the most popular anime in the world is right now.
Are there any official statistics or anything? Any guesses?
I dont know, and me and my friends have been arguing about this all week!
Well, in japan i know Bleach and Naruto are at the top of the list. But since Bleach doesnt air in the U.S. but Naruto does...does that mean Naruto is more popular. If bleach was in the U.S., it would pwn all those other anime shows...("my personal opinion" ^_^). I was checking the wallpaper section here and Bleach has over 200 wallpaper, and naruto only had 100something. Is that because bleach wallpapers are easier to make? or because people love bleach soo much. I aslo checked google on anime results. "Bleach Anime" = 3,500,000 approx, and "Naruto Anime"= 1,900,000. "Cowboy Bebop Anime" got 4,000,000... but im concentrating on the currently playing anime. (though cowboy bebop was awsome when it aired, and still is)
Pokemon is pretty popular too. Everyone who knows about anime knows about pokemon. You dont have to like it, but its still out there.
So... any opinions on what the most popular anime is?

If you're talking about whats currently on air in Japan thats popular in many countries, I'd say Naruto only because it hit the U.S market last year and has been popular in Canada and Europe also for some time. Bleach hasn't been licensed yet ( or did Viz license it? ).
I would think Bleach is more popular in Japan like what you were saying. Hands down I think it overtook Naruto when Naruto was starting its filler arc I'm sure most people stopped watching it after the first filler mission. I know I did.

It's a tie between Bleach and Naruto.
The last two conventions I went too.. almost.. EVERYONE.. dressed up from someone from either two of those. I like Bleach.. I can't stand Naruto.

Two words:
Astro Boy.
As far as I'm concerned, Doraemon isn't really known around here, but Astro Boy's known everywhere I go.

Spontaneously,... after my experience as Japanimation Fan I'd say:
Dragonball Z
Doraemon
Detective Conan
Rurouni Kenshin
One Piece
Naruto
Most of Hayao Miyazaki Animes:
-Spirited Away
-Howl's moving Castle
-Princess Mononoke
-Nausicae
If I forgot anything, I tell ya right away,... (or maybe someone else does)

Um, the Gundam series overall? Everyone has at least seen a pic its giant mechs before.

Hmm... I'd have to say Bleach and Naruto as well. Those two anime series are so mainstream here where I live. It's everywhere I go- Bleach, Bleach, Bleach, Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, random Sasuke fangirl...
*runs away*
I haven't seen naruto, but I like bleach.
but when I go to buy item of bleach I see that there is almost as the same number items of naruto, so I think it's a tie.
how much animes are being aired now? most of the animes I watch, have been already aired.

As far as currently airing shows go, I'm voting for Naruto. It is on TV and its product line it sold everywhere. However, I think it is likely to be over-taken by Bleach or another show in the near future. Its fan-base is shrinking due to the filler situation. That is just as far as popularity goes though. In the well-known category, I think Cowboy Bebop or Kenshin or Gundum would do better.
Naruto has been going down because of the filler and so has Bleach...
But One Piece and Detective Conan are the most popular, as they should be...

I believed it has to be fullmetal alchemist. it seem to have popularity in both the us and japan. How much popularity well that is a really hard to tell.
