It’s worth noting that the appeal of Hello Kitty should never be underestimated. For the week of July 21st to July 27th, Netflix has released the top ten non-English shows, and it’s no surprise that “Squid Game” Season 3 remains number one with an impressive 28,500+ hours viewed. Despite premiering a month earlier on June 27th, “Squid Game” continues to reign supreme in television conversations and social media trends. The show boasts a vast international fanbase, suggesting that many are still discovering it even a month after its release. Interestingly, the second spot goes to My Melody & Kuromi, with over 11,800 hours viewed, which seems to be the more unexpected highlight in these rankings.
In the fourth week of July, the anime series featuring My Melody & Kuromi managed to surpass other popular shows like Dandadan Season 2 in terms of total viewing hours. However, it’s important to note that Netflix released the entire first season of My Melody & Kuromi on July 24th, which means the high number of viewing hours is due to people binging the whole series at once. In contrast, Dandadan releases one episode per week, accumulating its viewership hours gradually.
Since all episodes of My Melody & Kuromi are now available, it’s likely that its popularity will wane as those who planned to watch it have probably already done so. With no new episodes scheduled for release anytime soon, we can expect a significant drop in viewership hours next week.
What Is My Melody & Kuromi?
Despite the fact that there are merely a dozen episodes of “My Melody & Kuromi,” each lasting between 11 to 17 minutes, it’s mind-blowing to see that these episodes have amassed an impressive total of 11.8 million hours of viewing time! This strong viewership underscores the power and appeal of the beloved “Hello Kitty” brand. It’s also worth noting that new kids’ shows often receive a warm welcome on Netflix, especially during summer vacation when children have plenty of free time to explore and enjoy new streaming content. Furthermore, this show serves as a testament to the rising popularity of My Melody and Kuromi as iconic pop culture figures!
The series titled “My Melody & Kuromi” features these two main characters in a stop-motion animation. Sanrio is responsible for creating both characters, who are integral parts of the broader Hello Kitty brand. My Melody, a charming and feminine rabbit, has established a cake shop adjacent to Kuromi’s Japanese confectionary store. Kuromi, a more mischievous and gothic rabbit, views My Melody as her rival, setting the stage for a friendly competition centered around sweets. Rei Sakuma lends her voice to My Melody in the original Japanese version, while Junko Takeuchi voices Kuromi. In the English dub, Michelle Marie and Jenny Yokobori take on those roles. Produced by Toruku Studio, a division of Wit Studio focusing on stop-motion animation, “My Melody & Kuromi” was released to honor the 50th anniversary of My Melody and the 20th Anniversary of Kuromi.
