Chugong’s Solo Leveling Manhwa made history this year after being the most anticipated anime series of 2024. Produced by A-1 Pictures, Solo Leveling broke multiple records and reached the top with just 12 episodes, making it one of the best anime series of all time. Not only that, the series surprised its fans by announcing the second season right after the last episode of the first season was released.
While fans wait for the next season, the series was able to achieve something that has been only done by Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man. The series surpassed Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan on Crunchyroll and became the sixth-highest-rated anime on the platform. This is an incredible feat considering the popularity of Attack on Titan.
The ratings are based on the user’s review of the series on Crunchyroll, and considering that the series only debuted in January, this accomplishment is truly remarkable, and as the series moves towards the new season, it is only going to get better.
