Just two months ago, Reddit’s anime community compiled an intricate ranking of Crunchyroll’s top 300 anime series based on ratings. This list revealed “Solo Leveling’s” remarkable ascent, with the series sitting just below “Attack on Titan” at seventh place.
It has since closed the gap and now stands as Crunchyroll’s sixth most popular title. Unlike many other anime, “Solo Leveling” didn’t start as a manga but as a web novel by South Korean author Chu-Gong.
Solo Leveling has overtaken Attack on Titan on Crunchyroll, claiming the sixth spot as the most popular anime on the platform.
This dark fantasy single serialized on KakaoPage began in 2016 and ended in 2018. The protagonist of this work is Jinwoo, a young man who eternally levels up after a disastrous dungeon raid.
The anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures premiered on January 7, co-produced by Crunchyroll. Despite its themes being too dark and characters falling in battle just like with “Attack on Titan,” the novelty of “Solo Leveling” consumed by people worldwide was not left out of criticism.
Here are the top 10 anime series on Crunchyroll, ranked by the number of ratings as of March 2024:
- One Piece
- Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- Chainsaw Man
- Spy x Family
- Attack on Titan
- Solo Leveling
- My Hero Academia
- Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
- Naruto Shippuden
The show received mixed reviews in Japan in 2024, ranking it 35th. However, it did immensely well on Crunchyroll, commissioned by fans worldwide.
The “Solo Leveling” anime can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Prime Video. At the same time, Chu-Gong’s original web novel is accessible in English through Yen On, an imprint of Yen Press.
