Iconic Japanese anime, "My Hero Academia", continues to dominate demand in Japan – a no-surprise result in the latest data from analytics platform Parrot Analytics for the week of 19-25 August.
The long-running series about a boy who enrolls in a prestigious hero academy and learns what it really means to be a hero, ended the week 76.3x higher than average demand for titles in Japan.
"My Hero Academia’s" closest competitor was much newer anime series, "Oshi No Ko", which ended the week at 55.8x.
"Oshi No Ko" is about a doctor and his recently deceased patient who are reborn as twins to a famous Japanese musical idol.
None of the series on the digital-first list gathered enough demand to make it onto the overall list for the week. The top streaming title was Netflix’s "Tokyo Swindlers".
