Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia might be the biggest releases of this season, but a new anime has already beaten them by topping the TV rankings on Netflix Philippines.
After My Hero Academia Season 4’s premiere on May 4 and Demon Slayer’s on May 12, the popularity of Kaiju No. 8 might have taken a hit. ButNetflixPhilippines’ ‘Top 10TV Shows’ list indicates there is a loyal fanbase for the show, with many preferring the new monster anime to MHA and Demon Slayer.
This isn’t completely unexpected asDemon Slayer Season 4has been receiving criticism for infusing anime-only scenes in this season. Similarly, MHA has also had some flak from the viewers for its pacing, thoughMy Hero Academia Season 7is yet to get similar complaints.
These little setbacks have allowed Kaiju No. 8 to rise to its potential in the Philippines. However, in the USA and most other countries, Demon Slayer and MHA are still dominating everyone’s watchlist.
Fans of Kaiju No. 8 are pretty happy now that the series is getting its due credit. Asone user on Reddit puts it, “Let’s go!!! That’s how it should be!”
Another joins, “The power is growing!!!”, with a third adding, “And some still say the show isn’t a hit…”
