This article contains spoilers for One Piece.
In today’s world of anime, it’s often One Piece that steals the spotlight in discussions among fans. They are well-aware that One Piece holds the title of Japan’s top manga and enjoys global popularity as well. However, the anime adaptation for the series hasn’t quite matched this success. In recent years, it has made significant progress, but it appears that, at least for the first half of 2025, One Piece isn’t the most-watched anime on Netflix.
Netflix’s Most Watched Anime For 2025’s First Half Has Been Revealed
- Naruto Tops The List With 42 Million Watch Hours
- One Piece Is Far Behind Naruto
In early 2025, Netflix unveiled a preliminary list showcasing the most popular anime series on their platform for the first half of the year, extending until the end of June. Keep in mind that this list may change as we approach and move beyond the midpoint of the year.

It might have come as a shock to many, but contrary to popular expectations for ongoing anime series, the one that took the top spot in Netflix’s viewership for 2025 is none other than Naruto. According to recent data, Naruto amassed an impressive 40 million watch hours, far surpassing most other anime. In a close second place is Studio Ghibli, encompassing all their various anime productions. Despite this combined effort, even Studio Ghibli couldn’t match Naruto’s viewership, as they only managed to garner 39 million watch hours.
Naruto Beats One Piece And Is The Most Watched Netflix Anime
One Piece Is No. 5
In a ranking of popular anime, Naruto leads the way, followed closely by Detective Conan in third place and Pokémon in fourth, both boasting around 38 million viewer hours each. One Piece takes fifth position on this list with approximately 28 million watch hours, significantly less than the top four shows.
It’s worth noting that not all episodes of “One Piece” can be found on Netflix. As a result, fans are unable to watch the entire series there. Consequently, the viewing hours for “One Piece” on Netflix are significantly lower compared to other shows. If “One Piece” were fully accessible on Netflix, it likely would have taken the top spot in terms of viewership.
It’s quite unexpected that “Demon Slayer” ranked 8th on the list, accumulating a viewership of 23 million watch hours. In fact, it was surpassed by both “Sakamoto Days” and “The Seven Deadly Sins”.
If you enjoy watching Naruto, you can catch it streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix. For readers interested in exploring further, the story continues with Boruto which is available on Manga Plus.
The upcoming Chapter 25 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will be out on August 20, 2025, at 10 AM Eastern Standard Time or 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. Fans can enjoy reading it free of charge on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile applications as usual.
