Why Anime Matters in 2026
Anime has become one of the most globally consumed entertainment formats of the 2020s. Crunchyroll reported over 13 million paid subscribers as of 2024, with viewership concentrated in North America, Europe, and Latin America as well as its historical markets in Japan and Southeast Asia. Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney Plus have all invested heavily in exclusive anime licensing and co-production deals.
The dominant force in anime's global breakout has been the shonen genre, led by series from Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Jujutsu Kaisen surpassed 100 million manga volumes in circulation, making it one of the fastest-selling manga in publishing history. Demon Slayer holds the record for highest-grossing anime film. One Piece remains the best-selling manga series of all time with over 530 million copies sold.
