Transcript

00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the hottest anime that

00:09 everyone keeps talking about.

00:14 10.

00:19 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

00:21 You can practically feel it in the air when a new season of JoJo is airing.

00:25 Or should we say, see it on your social media feed.

00:33 The show's tendency to be a bit, well, bizarre, has earned it one of the most loyal fan followings

00:38 on the internet.

00:40 Whenever a new episode drops, they get to work spreading the fun with an endless array

00:45 of memes, remixes, edits and more.

00:51 It's so widespread that, even if you don't watch the show, you'll feel like you have.

01:00 By now, you don't even have to keep up with the anime calendar anymore.

01:03 When JoJo starts to air, you'll know.

01:10 9.

01:12 Pokemon

01:13 After a thousand episodes of trying to catch them all, Ash finally became a champion in

01:26 2019.

01:27 Given how long it took, saying fans were ecstatic would be an understatement.

01:32 And yet, somehow, it was just the beginning.

01:35 After claiming the Alola League, Ash went on to win in the entire World Coronation series,

01:41 bringing Pokemon to a height of popularity it hadn't seen in decades.

01:53 Then in a victory lap of sorts, the series made headlines one last time, by announcing

01:58 Ash's departure from the show.

02:00 It was a long and bumpy journey, but there's no denying that Ash's tenure on Pokemon

02:05 went out on one hell of a high note.

02:12 8.

02:14 Naruto Shippuden and Boruto - Naruto Next Generations

02:18 Whether you were a fan or not, it felt like everyone in the whole anime community tuned

02:23 in to see the end of Naruto Shippuden.

02:25 Mainly because it featured the long-awaited fight between Naruto and Sasuke.

02:37 It's hard to compete with the culmination of 15 years of storytelling, but against all

02:49 odds Boruto has kept that momentum going.

02:52 For example, the last push against Momoshiki had fans practically foaming at the mouth.

03:06 A hundred and fifty episodes after that, the reveal of Naruto's "Barrion Mode" did

03:12 the same.

03:13 These guys may not be as spry as they used to be, but clearly, they can still bring it

03:17 when needed.

03:22 7.

03:23 My Hero Academia - My Hero Academia

03:25 Deku is the name of a hero, but ironically, he tends to excite his fanbase more than save

03:31 them.

03:34 Don't worry, that's a good thing.

03:41 After all, seeing Deku activate infinite 100% versus overhaul was worth the hype, and then

03:47 some.

04:01 Deku's not the only hero taking the world by storm though.

04:04 All Might's got his share of legendary moments too.

04:07 Even though My Hero hasn't always been at the top of its game, there's no denying

04:11 how many people lost their minds watching the United States of Smash.

04:20 If the show's fantastic war arc proved anything, it's that My Hero Academia hasn't retired

04:26 from duty just yet.

04:28 6.

04:29 Chainsaw Man

04:31 For months upon months, people just couldn't get enough of Genji and his devilish ways.

04:36 And that was before Chainsaw Man even aired.

04:41 That's right, the show's trailer alone had social media positively chomping at the

04:51 bit.

04:52 You'd only imagine the fanfare once it actually started to roll out.

04:56 It revved up a new wave of fan chatter, especially the episodes that had tragic deaths or bloody

05:02 fights.

05:07 Spoiler, that's most of them.

05:11 There's a very precious amount of anime that have ever come out of the gate as hot

05:15 as Chainsaw Man.

05:17 Although, for the sake of forum traffic everywhere, that's probably a good thing.

05:28 5.

05:30 Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba

05:32 For most of its first season, Demon Slayer was the little battle shounen that could.

05:41 Then came episode 19.

05:43 Just like that, Demon Slayer went from a hit show into a bonafide phenomenon.

05:54 You want proof?

05:55 How about the fact that the sequel film, Mugen Train, became the highest-grossing Japanese

06:00 film of all time?

06:02 Despite that insanely high bar, the show's small-screen efforts haven't slowed down

06:06 one bit.

06:07 Whether Tanjiro's slaying demons in the Entertainment District or the Swordsmith Village,

06:13 you can bet it'll have people talking, and posting, and reposting.

06:18 Really, the only way to avoid it is to just stay off the web altogether.

06:26 4.

06:29 Dragon Ball Super

06:30 What's Dragon Ball without some epic battles for the fate of the world?

06:34 Nothing, that's what.

06:36 Super understood the assignment and delivered some internet-smashing moments with fights

06:41 against Hit and Fused Zamasu.

06:43 And yet, they were nothing compared to the silver-haired transformation that came in

06:48 the Tournament of Power.

06:49 Its name was Ultra Instinct.

06:54 Almost immediately, servers melted, forums crashed, and entire social media pages went

07:00 down.

07:01 The most impressive part, though, is that Super did it all over again with its insane

07:05 finale.

07:15 The reaction to the Tournament of Power was unlike anything the anime scene had ever witnessed

07:20 before, proving that Goku's power level really is unmatched.

07:27 3.

07:35 Attack on Titan

07:36 In 2013, Eren Yeager picked up his ODM gear, and the anime landscape has never been the

07:42 same since.

07:51 Attack on Titan broke into the mainstream in a way few shows ever have, or will.

07:56 Even more staggering, it stayed at the heart of the pop culture zeitgeist for the entirety

08:01 of its decade-long run.

08:09 Eren Yeager's Attack on Titan's intricate narrative encouraged fan speculation.

08:14 Each episode left a Titan-sized hole of rampant theorycrafting in its wake.

08:19 The fervid anticipation reached a boiling point during the final season, where new installments

08:25 routinely trended all across the web.

08:27 You could say that, in his attempts to slay Titans, Eren Yeager became one of the whole

08:33 anime industry.

08:40 2.

08:44 Jujutsu Kaisen

08:45 At this point, you have two options – catch up with Jujutsu Kaisen, or get spoiled.

08:51 With this kind of popularity, there is no in-between.

08:58 Then again, what else would you expect from fight scenes this cool?

09:02 In fact, the entire Shibuya incident arc was basically a weekly outage waiting to happen.

09:08 But it's not all from curses and clobbering.

09:11 Occasionally, something as small as Nanami being a badass would make the internet all

09:15 hot and heavy.

09:22 If Jujutsu Kaisen can turn a side character into an overnight sensation, it's no wonder

09:28 their climactic episode set the world on fire.

09:31 Apparently, going viral is just part of the Jujutsu Kaisen experience.

09:59 One Piece

10:00 Over the years, Luffy sailed through high and low tide, and always came out the other

10:04 end as beloved as ever.

10:06 But man, the Wano arc is just something else.

10:21 Ever since Kaido reared his ugly head, One Piece had consistently delivered some of the

10:25 best episodes to date.

10:27 And viewers are absolutely eating it up.

10:30 The unprecedented demand culminated with the debut of Gear Fifth, a watershed moment that

10:35 pretty much speaks for itself.

10:37 Luffy's new transformation crashed the anime streaming site Crunchyroll not just once,

10:43 but twice.

10:48 All in the span of one week, too.

10:50 These days, there's only three constants left in life – death, taxes, and One Piece

10:55 making headlines.

10:57 What's been your favourite internet-breaking anime moment?

11:16 Bye…
