It’s clear that anime is a format that is reaching more and more places, but what it’s achieving worldwide is unheard of. According to a study by TheToyZone, the most-watched series by children is none other than an anime, and one that stopped releasing new episodes years ago: Naruto.
That’s right, Masashi Kishimoto’s work has become the most popular children’s series in more than 83 countries, and its numbers compared to competitors are extremely high. It is the most-watched series by young audiences in 17 countries throughout America and in up to 22 in Europe. Of course, it is also the most popular show in Japan, and it also stands out in the Middle East, Africa, and other Asian countries.

The strangest record that Naruto has achieved
So you can see the surrealism of these data, the second most popular show is CoComelon, a musical program for babies. Certainly, we imagine that the audience of Naruto is somewhat older… because a children’s series, certainly, is not at all.
