[From GWS.com] JUJUTSU KAISEN is officially the world’s most in-demand animated TV show, taking the title from Attack on Titan which held it since 2020.

According to data-science firm Parrot Analytics, JUJUTSU KAISEN has a global demand rating 71.2 times greater than that of the average TV show.

Parrot Analytics calculates ‘demand’ based on how much attention, engagement, desire, and viewership is expressed by consumers for content.

Their system captures billions of new data points each day, including video consumption (streaming and downloads), social media engagement (hashtags, likes, shares), and research actions (reading about a show on IMDb, for example).

Actions which require more effort on the consumer’s part, such as watching or downloading a show, are weighed more heavily when calculating demand.

Based on Gege Akutami's manga series of the same name, JUJUTSU KAISEN follows the story of high school student Yuji Itadori, who joins a group of Jujutsu Sorcerers to defeat a Curse named Sukuna, of whom Yuji becomes the host.

The anime fought off close competitors One Piece and Attack on Titan to claim the top spot in 2023’s rankings.

One Piece enjoyed a boost in interest due to the release of Netflix’s live-action adaptation, which brought in new fans to the series as well as inspired older fans to rewatch earlier episodes.

Attack on Titan, which concluded its final season in November, remained immensely popular but narrowly lost out this time.

Side note: Congratulations to Akutami sensei and MAPPA animators who made this possible 👏🏼

Organizers of a drag queen story time at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia report that several hundred attendees helped set a world record for attendance at such an event, marking the start of Pride Month in the birthplace of America. Saturday’s event, hosted by the Philadelphia Gay News and supported by Visit Philadelphia, featured local drag performers reading children’s books to an audience of 263 people. The Associated Press reports that organizers recognized this as a new Guinness World Record in this category. The drag performers entertained both adults and children with readings from books including Hello, Philadelphia! by Martha Day Zschock, ’Twas the Night Before Pride by Joanna McClintick, Elmer by David McKee, The Family Book by Todd Parr, and Kevin the Unicorn: It’s Not All Rainbows by Jessika von Innerebner.

If there's one horror trope (other than the jumpscare) that you could get rid of, what would it be?

I think the one that annoys me the most is cell phones. The dead battery trope, or the inexplicably lost signal trope - I understand why they exist, because it's very hard to justify why people can't use their phones as life lines in a horror movie. I've even gone as far as to lean toward setting things in different decades just to avoid the cell phone problem. It's one of the reasons Bly Manor was set in the 1980s, because we knew that the entire ensemble having access to cell phones would make the plot almost impossible to advance as the story progressed.

I suppose the other ones I dislike are the "Just a Dream" scares. There are some examples of these done very well - THE DESCENT has a gorgeous one in the first act, which sets up an absolutely heartbreaking one in the final act - but for the most part, these are an excuse to sneak a scare into a story without reason or consequence. I'm guilty of using these myself - sometimes there is huge pressure from above to add scares, and it's too early to let the characters in on the supernatural events - but sometimes these moments are just cynical and frustrating.

As for jumpscares, as the current Guinness World Record holder for Most Jumpscares in an Episode of Television - more times than not, they work against the horror. There are beautiful examples of scares done magnificently well, but 99/100 of them diffuse tension, I believe.
