Jujutsu Kaisen Leads Netflix Views
Despite Demon Slayer's global success, Jujutsu Kaisen has taken the lead in Netflix views for the first half of 2026. With 31.6 million views and 202.1 million viewing hours, Jujutsu Kaisen has surpassed Demon Slayer, which had 17.5 million views and 105.4 million viewing hours.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, which adapted the first half of the Culling Game arc, was the most-viewed anime season on the platform, with 9.4 million views. This is more than double the viewership of Demon Slayer's most viewed season -- the Hashira Training Arc -- which only amounted to 4.1 million views.
Viewership Rankings
The views for both Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix for the first half of 2026 can also be viewed below.
- Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 (9.4 million views)
- Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 (8.7 million views)
- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (8.3 million views)
- Baki-Dou: The Invincible Samurai Season 1 (8.0 million views)
- Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 (6.7 million views)
In comparison, even Jujutsu Kaisen's least viewed season, Season 2, garnered significantly more views (6.7 million). Furthermore, Jujutsu Kaisen occupied three of the top five spots in Netflix's most-viewed anime series.
Demon Slayer's Performance
Demon Slayer's poor performance meant that it couldn't find a spot even in the top 10 most-viewed anime on Netflix. The series will definitely see an increase in numbers in the second half, thanks to the Infinity Castle movie coming to the platform throughout most of Asia on July 28.
Meanwhile, Jujutsu Kaisen likewise has a new release lined up with the fourth season of the anime; however, with a release window not yet confirmed, it remains to be seen whether the franchise can maintain the same momentum in the second half.
