Netflix is no doubt one of the most popular streaming platforms at the moment. The American streaming service added 8.3 million new subscribers in the first quarter of 2022 and still makes billions of dollars in revenue to this day.
Ever since its official launch in Pakistan, Netflix has seen surging popularity in our country thanks to a huge variety of content available on the platform. Much like movies and TV shows, Netflix has also added a range of new anime series on the platform with several genres to choose from.
So for those looking to get into new anime series, here is a list of the most popular anime on Netflix.
Naruto follows the story of a young orphan cursed with the spirit of a nine-tailed demon fox. Born in the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto Uzumaki seeks recognition from his peers and dreams of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village.
Naruto is a two-part series that is followed up by Naruto Shippuden, but that is not available on Netflix Pakistan. The original series has 220 episodes and Naruto Shippuden has 500, making a total of 720.
Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba)
Demon Slayer, also known as Kimetsu no Yaiba, is a relatively new anime series but is highly popular nonetheless. It tells the story of Tanjiro Kamado who strives to become a Demon Slayer and cure his demon sister after his family is brutally murdered by a high-ranking demon.
Thankfully, the entire series is available to watch on Netflix. It is an ongoing series with a total of 44 episodes aired so far.
