by

The first half of 2025 offered a fantastic lineup of anime that fans thoroughly enjoyed. However, a few series truly shone. Leading the pack is undoubtedly *Solo Leveling*, the anime of the year, which had a huge impact on anime enthusiasts worldwide.

While Japan views *Solo Leveling* as a good anime, fans worldwide are incredibly enthusiastic about it and can’t stop discussing it. Although *Solo Leveling* was exceptionally well-made this year, another series achieved a greater record and is considered by many to be the best anime of the year.

Solo Leveling Won Anime Of The Year in 2025

The anime *Solo Leveling* was a big hit in 2025, largely due to its second season, which premiered earlier in the year. The 12-episode season adapted some of the most exciting parts of the story, including the popular Jeju Island arc, often considered a highlight.

Season 2 of *Solo Leveling* really showcased Jinwoo’s transformation into the Shadow Monarch, while also showing how his reputation as a Hunter was increasing worldwide.

Season 2 of *Solo Leveling* was a huge success, and it really stood out at the Crunchyroll Awards this year. It won the top prize, Anime of the Year, and Sung Jinwoo was named Best Main Character. While the series received other accolades, its overall success is what truly matters.

Takopi’s Original Sin Set A Big Record And Beat Solo Leveling

Takopi’s Original Sin Didn’t Have Even A Single Episode Below 9 on IMDb

Although *Solo Leveling* was very popular, *Takopi’s Original Sin*, a more recent anime, has truly amazed viewers. What’s remarkable is that every episode of the series has received a rating of 9 or higher on IMDb – a rare and impressive achievement.

The short length of the anime is also a factor – Takopi’s Original Sin only has six episodes. However, despite this, each episode was consistently excellent, easily scoring a 9 out of 10. Remarkably, even the popular anime Solo Leveling didn’t manage to maintain that level of quality throughout its run.

Fans Want Takopi’s Original Sin To Be The Next Anime Of The Year

Fans are hoping *Takopi’s Original Sin* wins Anime of the Year because many believe it’s even better than *Solo Leveling*, despite not being as widely popular. Viewers who have seen it praise it as surpassing *Solo Leveling* in quality.
