Anime popular in 2020 Anitok that are completely forgotten now
MOST FAMOUS:
Kakegurui
Bungou No Stray Dogs
Noragami
The Seven Deadly Sins
The Promised Neverland
Especially Kakegurui was everywhere on tiktok back in 2020. It was mostly this trend with each of the girls' voices (if you were there then you will know exactly what I am talking about) but like they were a lot of viral tiktoks with kakegurui sounds and stuff.
Dazai from Bungou No Stray Dogs was THE anime crush of the time fr. He had this viral sound too with this deep voice and a lot of girls back in the day watched the anime because of him. Saddly now he is pretty unknown to newer fans.
About Noragami and The Seven Deadly Sins, they were included with anime like Mha and Bleach. But now almost none knows them, especially Noragami. Like, what happened to them?
The Promised Neverland is still big tbh but back in 2020 it was even bigger. Rei was taking over the internet within younger girls mostly and the memes were going crazy from this anime. I guess its popularity fell off because season 2 was shit.
FAMOUS BECAUSE OF A CHARACTER:
Assassination Classroom
Black Butler
Angels of Death
Darling in the Franxx
Seraph of the End
When it comes to Assassination Classroom and Black Butler, they were really popular for the anime itself too, but a certain character helped raise their popularity a bit more. New fans will never understand how big Karma was with girl fans. Him and Bakugou were every girls' crush. Now Sebastian will always be big, let's be honest.
Zack from Angels of Death was included in those anime psychos tiktoks along with Karma. He also had the same voice actor with Bakugou so, yeah, he was popular with girls.
Darling in the Franxx was one of the few anime that a girl character was more popular than a boy. This video with Zero Two dancing to a particular song was everywhereee. Most anime wallpapers was with her too.
The male characters from Seraph of the End were inlcuded in every tiktok when it came to anime crushes. However most people hadn't watched the anime, they just liked the characters. There were a lot of tiktok edits of Guren as well.
PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN NOW:
Angel Beats!
Another
Toradora
Re:zero
You will never understand the impact Angel Beats! had if you weren't there. New fans say this anime is underrated while back in 2020 was one of the most popular ones. If you went to myanimelist it was on top with anime like Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, like it was very highly-rated.
Another had become popular through this "Anime are not for kids" trend. Like, they would show scary anime scenes so they can fight back anime haters, mostly from Another and Blood C+. Also there is this scene of a girl falling into an umbrella and dying, very bloody. That scene was everywhere on tiktok, there was not a single chance you hadn't seen it.
Even if it was a romance anime, Toradora was popular even among those who didn't like that genre. For example a lot of boys had seen that anime, even if they hated the romance genre. It is not that it's completely unknown now, but it is very hated among the anime romance fans community. In my opinion, it was a fun anime, but everyone can believe whatever they want.
Those twin girls with the maid outfits from Re:zero were everywhere bro, like everywhere. People didn't really watch that anime, but they were a lot of edits of those girls. It is a simillar situation with Zero Two so you pretty much understand what I am talking about.
