Renowned game creator Hideo Kojima recently shared his thoughts on KPop Demon Hunters, the hit Netflix movie from last year. Since its release in June 2025, KPop Demon Hunters has become Netflix’s most popular movie ever, earning a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and gaining recognition with numerous award nominations. This fantasy musical adventure has quickly become a cultural phenomenon.
KPop Demon Hunters centers around three K-pop stars who secretly fight demons, and their friendship is strained when one of them reveals she’s half-demon. The show has received excellent reviews, broken streaming records, performed well in theaters for two weeks, and its music has become incredibly popular, topping the charts.
Hideo Kojima recently discovered the show KPop Demon Hunters and quickly became a fan. He shared on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday that he “got completely hooked” and was moved to tears by the end, calling it “so, so good.” KPop Demon Hunters has received a lot of positive attention for its music, animation, and relatable themes, and Kojima’s post seems to echo that praise.
Hideo Kojima, a well-known game creator, recently shared his thoughts on the new sci-fi series Pluribus, created by Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad. He loved it, calling it “absolutely incredible” and drawing comparisons to the classic film Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Like many viewers, including those who enjoyed KPop Demon Hunters, people are agreeing with Kojima’s positive review.
KPop Demon Hunters is receiving critical acclaim, earning nominations for Best Animated Movie at both the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Golden Globes. It’s up against strong competition, including films like Arco, Zootopia 2, and Little Amélie or the Character of Rain. In total, the movie received three Golden Globe nominations in 2026, also being recognized for its original song, “Golden,” and its success in theaters.
KPop Demon Hunters is expected to be nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, and is currently considered a strong favorite to win. The film is also likely to be nominated for Best Original Song, a particularly competitive category this year, alongside submissions from Wicked: For Good and Sinners. Meanwhile, a sequel, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is already in the works at Netflix and Sony, with the original creative team returning.
It’s difficult to overstate how popular KPop Demon Hunters has become, but most people agree it’s a genuinely good film at its core. Hideo Kojima is just the latest to be captivated by its funny and emotionally resonant story, and his praise might finally convince those who haven’t seen it to give it a try.
