The anime is doing well too. Gojo’s eye reveal got it trending birthday! MAPPA has definitely proven that they are ready for big things, and fans are loving it. Another credit to the franchise’s popularity are its opening and ending songs. To be more specific, both the opening and ending are going huge on YouTube (official s).
Titled “Kaikai Kitan” and performed by Eve, the OP song has already sured 15 million views on the platform. On the other hand, titled “Lost in Paradise” and performed by ALI feat. AKLO, the ED song has sured 9 million views. You can check out both here.
