Demon Slayer is unstoppable when it comes to TV ratings. While its first film broke box office records around the world, the anime continued its run when its second season aired a few months ago.
Now that the series is over (for now), all eyes are on the final episodes of season 2, and it seems his latest plays managed to earn him the gold medal. even beating the Winter Olympics.
The news comes from Japan, from the latest data Video Reacher Ltd. Apparently, the group got the TV ratings for the week that the penultimate episode of Demon Slayer’s second season aired. Here, fans learned that the season’s big episode drew 17.73 million viewers. more than 14% of all viewers. These totals were recorded in the first week of the episode’s release and also count the DVR projections.
That rating made Demon Slayer 2×17 one of the most-watched episodes on TV that week, beating out stiff competition. Not even Olympia with the opening ceremony could reach the ratings of the episode. According to the data 17.23 million tuned in to the Olympic ceremony with only 13.7% of viewers.
Demon Slayer is clearly on another level and simply can’t be beat abroad. Reports have confirmed that the anime is the one 3rd most watched series in Japan in that period, and broke enough sales records to prove it. Not only has anime season sales exceeded expectations, his latest film also hit a high milestone.
After all, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Mugen Train is the highest-grossing anime film in the world today, so the Olympics actually never stood a chance against the second season of the anime.
