Naruto- Where do we stand?

I have conducted a personal research on how this anime Naruto has captured the hearts of the public. Naruto which was released on 1997 and still running until today is really a famous anime not just for adults like me but to young aged as well. The story is just really fascinating and though it has a typical plot to the other anime in which the protagonist is a simple individual who struggles to have great power, but it is really great compared to others as the story will keep you alive again and again.

The kind of story plotted here is really amazing as it highlights the different dramas in life. There are adventures and mishaps, happiness, drama, scary scenes, and most of all the lessons which deeply implanted to the hearts of the characters. There are already lots of anime sold and had got its fame and truly the Japanese Manga industry shook the world by its creativeness. Also, the sense of humor in each scenes are memorable with lessons attached to it. The following graph is a screenshot from google trend (google.com/trends) where you can find the most number of searches for keyword. I typed in Naruto and it gave me the results.

Based on Google Trend

This clearly shows that the trend increased and reached its peak on 2010, with the top countries searchers:

1. Indonesia

2. Philippines

3. Peru

The letters on each graphic line represents the category of the search either PS update, Manga update, or anything that falls on the search description. The conclusion is Naruto is ruling the Asia with the no. 1 spot from Indonesia and secondly Philippines, with the third slot from South America (Peru). But noticed that Japan (which is the place of origination) doesn't have any place to specify. I did not mention the top 10 since I will only focus on the 3 largest number of search. Even in the top 10 slot you cannot see Japan there. 

So, with the statistics that we have it also reveals one thing- "the place where it began would stay humble as what it is".

No wonder now, Naruto is ruling the anime world. But of course other anime will arise and will have its fame. Most important thing is this anime was once captured the world. Truly an excellent job from our Japanese brothers.
