This article contains spoilers for Solo Leveling.

Earlier this year, Solo Leveling was incredibly popular while its second season was still on air. The show has become one of the most talked-about series right now, mainly because of its exciting action sequences and the powerful presence of the main character, Sung Jinwoo.

If you enjoy action-packed anime, this series is a great choice, and that’s what sets Solo Leveling apart. However, some people think the show’s ratings are higher than they should be. Many fans feel like the truly standout anime of the season just recently concluded.

Solo Leveling Won Anime Of The Year

  • Solo Leveling Was Crunchyroll’s Best Anime
  • Jinwoo Won The Best MC Award

2025 was a fantastic year for Solo Leveling, mainly because of the release of its second season. The first season was good, but the second season was even more thrilling, with incredible battles that fans especially loved, particularly during the Jeju Island story arc.

Solo Leveling was a big winner at the Crunchyroll Awards, taking home the Anime of the Year prize. This was somewhat unexpected, as many thought shows like Frieren had a stronger chance of winning.

Sung Jinwoo also received the award for best main character, but many felt he didn’t deserve it. Overall, dedicated anime fans weren’t happy with the results, and most agree that Solo Leveling wasn’t the best anime of the year.

Fans Think Takopi’s Original Sin Is Better

An Anime Without Any Drops Off

Although Solo Leveling was named Anime of the Year, many excellent shows have been released since its second season ended. One standout is Takopi’s Original Sin, which is a truly exceptional anime. While Solo Leveling is known for its action-packed fights, Takopi’s Original Sin focuses on deeper themes like human emotions, trauma, and grief.

This show is special because it encourages viewers to broaden their perspectives and reflect on themselves. It also realistically portrays the different kinds of abuse children face and the devastating effects it can have.

Beyond its interesting themes, ‘Takopi’s Original Sin’ has been consistently excellent – not a single episode has disappointed viewers. It’s easily the best anime of the year so far and truly deserves a perfect rating.

Takopi’s Original Sin Is Worthy Of Being Anime of the Year

This anime is truly exceptional and rightfully deserves the Anime of the Year title, and its fans clearly agree. While it can’t retroactively win the award, the support and appreciation from fans means everything.

There are currently 25 episodes of Solo Leveling available – twelve from the first season and thirteen from the second. You can watch both seasons on Crunchyroll. While fans wait for news about a third season, reading the original Manhwa (comic) is a good way to continue the story.
