When it comes to the world's anime Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) always comes to mind. The series premiered in 2013 and became a landmark with its intense narrative, epic battles, and dramatic twists. Over four seasons, the anime captivated millions of viewers and marked a generation. However, since its conclusion, the series has lost its grip on fandom conversations.

On the other hand, a new title gained strength and managed to surpass Attack on Titan in popularity: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) MyAnimeList (MAL) ranking , even surpassing Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood , which had reigned at the top for over a decade.
