Questions & Mysteries Why is one piece so popular lately?

[Bad English]

Because manga was popular and they improved anime

 

[Ainchiemi]

Cause some fans pandered to the tourists, now you have people doing overanalyzing of every detail in arcs, when there wasn't much to go off to begin with in some things.

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Anime in general has spiked in popularity.

Like even 10 years ago, people weren't as open about being anime fans because it still wasn't "the norm"

Social media era
Especially after Post Covid, it's increasing rapidly........
One piece is a popular long running series with hardcore fanboy, many cringe kids and manchild viewers so ppl gonna post lots of them in the Internet World

This help ppl to watch it after seeing the cool scenes with new animation on YT shorts edits, insta reels and other media.
(That's why we also have many of the new viewers being a retard but think they know better by watching the show through shorts, reels and some fraud content creator)
