by

Summary

  • Solo Leveling surpasses One Piece on Crunchyroll, with more reviews and higher ratings.
  • Season 2 has been a massive hit, leading fans to anticipate Season 3.
  • While Season 3 has not been officially confirmed, the series’ popularity makes it likely to happen.

Solo Leveling has remarkably maintained its popularity, remaining trendy even during periods without new releases. Evidence of this surge in popularity can be seen as Solo Leveling now outranking One Piece on Crunchyroll.

Lately, the show’s creator shared insights into the production process, disclosing that the ‘Jinwoo VS. Beeru’ episode contains double the usual number of frames compared to regular episodes in the series, and it took several months to finish. It’s no surprise that fans are captivated by it!

‘As It Should’? Solo Leveling Is More Popular Than One Piece

As we find ourselves in the heart of May, it’s challenging to envision another anime series claiming the title of ‘Anime of the Year’ over Solo Leveling. The incredible success of its second season has propelled it past One Piece as the most-discussed anime on Crunchyroll, a testament to its popularity.

Compared to One Piece, which has amassed 648,000 reviews, Solo Leveling boasts a staggering 775,000 reviews from fans. Additionally, while One Piece holds a rating of 4.8, Solo Leveling impressively scores a higher 4.9. Notably, even a month after Season 2 ended, Solo Leveling continues to garner new reviews, suggesting that the gap between it and One Piece widened in April, indicating a surge in viewership following its conclusion.

Absolutely, given that “One Piece” has resumed airing fresh episodes, it could potentially match or even exceed “Solo Leveling” in terms of reviews over time. Additionally, it’s likely that many viewers will post reviews for “One Piece” once the anime concludes (which might be several years down the line).

Is Solo Leveling Season 3 Confirmed?

Although there’s a lot of chatter suggesting that Solo Leveling Season 3 is on its way (and it might take some time to release), it hasn’t been officially verified yet that production has started. Given the massive popularity of the series, it seems quite probable that an official announcement will be made eventually.

Are you familiar with the Genki-dama (Spirit Bomb) from Dragon Ball? We’re counting on your enthusiasm! To create a Season 3, we’ll require every bit of support and energy from fans like you. This lesson I gleaned straight from Akira Toriyama himself! May the legendary Akira Toriyama rest in tranquility.

The production team could still be debating the optimal method for creating a sequel to the series. If Season 3 maintains the same pace as the earlier seasons, it might potentially mark the end, leading them to ponder if they should explore a different approach, or perhaps transform the remaining storylines into movies or a combination of a season and a movie instead.

Despite no formal confirmation as of now, fans of “Solo Leveling” can take comfort in the fact that the series appears extremely unlikely to be terminated. They simply need to keep a watch for the official update.

Solo Leveling is available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed in many languages.
