2025 was a fantastic year for anime, with many incredible shows competing for attention. The year started strong with the second season of *Solo Leveling*, which was a global hit and even earned the title of Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Awards for its first season. While *Solo Leveling* was hugely successful, it wasn’t the most popular anime of 2025 overall.
Despite the huge popularity of Solo Leveling, Demon Slayer has emerged as the biggest anime hit of 2025. The Infinity Castle movie has been incredibly successful, earning the series a new International Animation Award. This success highlights how much Demon Slayer has grown in recent years and suggests continued growth, particularly with the upcoming releases of Infinity Castle Parts 2 and 3.
Solo Leveling Is Anime of the Year, But Demon Slayer Has Had The Most Success
Infinity Castle Wins The International Animation Award At The Critics’ Choice Awards 2025
The Crunchyroll 2025 Awards recently concluded a highly competitive race. 2024 was a fantastic year for anime, with standout series like Frieren, The Apothecary Diaries, and Dandadan. However, one anime truly shone, winning not only Anime of the Year but also several other awards. That anime was Solo Leveling, the incredibly popular new series. Solo Leveling has been a major hit all year, and its second season proved to be a massive success, building on the already significant excitement surrounding the show.
Demon Slayer quickly became the most popular series with its latest release, *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return*. The movie was a massive hit in Japan, breaking all previous records, and has now received international recognition. It won the International Animation Award at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2025.

Demon Slayer’s Success Will Only Get Bigger
Infinity Castle Part 2 and Part 3 Will Be Just as Big, If Not Bigger

The first part of the *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* arc was a huge success, but the story is far from over. The upcoming *Infinity Castle Part 2* and *Part 3* promise even more intense battles and heartbreaking moments. The final movie, in particular, is expected to be a spectacular conclusion to the entire series.

You can now see *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* in cinemas! If you can’t wait for the movie releases, the story is also available in manga form on Manga Plus. The anime currently has four full seasons, all of which you can stream on Crunchyroll. The rest of the *Demon Slayer* story will be continued in movies, and fans will need to see them in theaters, depending on where they live.
