In the world of anime, there have been cases of records that have been set over the years, some of which seem virtually unbreakable.

Anime records that will not be broken
A popular reddit account, r/Anime, with a community that exceeds 10 million members and over a thousand active members, opened the debate on what are some of the anime records that will probably never be broken and has outlined some examples that come to mind.
One of the most recent records in anime history is that achieved by Kimetsu No Yaiba in the Mugen Train arc. This anime film has become the highest grossing film of all time, managing to surpass ghibli’s iconic and iconic Spirited Away in just 73 days. Furthermore, not only did it stand out in the anime field, but it also became the highest-grossing film in Japan, a monumental achievement that demonstrates the popularity the series achieved in its home country.
Within the forum, this user comments on notable milestones that were reached in his community over time. Episode 64 of Shingeki No Kyojin or Attack on Titan, to date, holds the record of being the episode with the most karma in the r/anime forum, with more than twenty-six thousand votes. This action-packed episode, full of intense emotions, captured the attention and hearts of fans around the world, cementing its place in anime history. In fact, the series has been a global phenomenon since its inception and has sparked a massive fan base around the world.
The announcement of Kaguya-Sama season 3 has also made a significant mark on the forum, reaching over thirty-eight thousand votes on r/anime, making it the most voted sequel announcement on the platform. The anticipation and excitement of its fans for the return of that beloved comedy-romance series underscores Kaguya-Sama’s lasting impact on its own community.
Chainsaw Man’s interesting dark shonen has set several records on the forum, standing out for having, for example, the most upvoted PV or promo video of all time with twenty-five thousand upvotes, as well as the most upvoted first episode with twenty-three thousand upvotes. The series, known for its peculiar style and captivating character design, was already known and popular all over the world since its release in the manga. Mappa’s animation studio had made an unusual investment in its production that will remain in the memory of those who lived the event.
Many forum members and users commented on the subject, highlighting respectable achievements and some somewhat comical or curious, such as the case in which it was rumored that a particular episode of Pokémon generated a lot of hospitalized children due to an apparent overstimulation in the color changes that would have caused outbreaks of epilepsy in highly susceptible people. Others commented on the longest running show or series of all time, such as Sazae san, a series with more than eight thousand one hundred episodes and still on the air.
Undoubtedly, exploring these success stories and achievements in the history of anime is more than satisfying and enriching. It means recognizing the efforts that go into creating and bringing to life the anime series and films that, with so much passion, entertain and captivate fans from all over the world and of all possible tastes.
