This 8.9 IMDb Rated Anime Is 2025’s Best And It’s Far Better Than Solo Leveling

by

Earlier this year, the webtoon “Solo Leveling” gained immense popularity but its excitement has gradually lessened over time. Following the finale of “Solo Leveling”, numerous new captivating anime have been released. Although “Solo Leveling” continues to be popular, it faces stiff competition in 2025. The current series challenging it is titled “Takopi’s Original Sin“. This series has garnered a lot of praise and currently boasts an impressive rating of 8.9 on IMDb.

In the meantime, it’s worth noting that Solo Leveling has an impressive rating of 8.6. However, this suggests there’s room for improvement if it aims to challenge other top-tier series or potentially claim the title of Anime of the Year again.

Takopi’s Original Sin Is Rated 8.9 on IMDb And It Surpasses Solo Leveling

  • Takopi’s Original Sin Has A Total of 6 Episodes
  • One of the Best-Rated Series This Year

Previously mentioned, the series “Takopi’s Original Sin” has outperformed “Solo Leveling” in terms of IMDb ratings. This show didn’t require extensive marketing to captivate viewers, likely due to its dark and cathartic nature that keeps audiences hooked. With a relatively short duration, it’s effortless to dive into the story without investing too much time. The narrative of “Takopi’s Original Sin” is compelling, with engaging characters and events that make it hard to look away.

In simpler terms, Solo Leveling doesn’t focus too much on developing a complex narrative. Instead, it thrives on creating excitement and action, with almost every episode showcasing intense battles. These battles are increasingly spectacular, but the storyline often takes a secondary role. Furthermore, apart from the protagonist Jinwoo, other characters don’t get significant screen time to showcase their individual stories.

What Takopi’s Original Sin Beating Solo Leveling Means For Anime Of The Year 2026

  • Solo Leveling Has Better Action
  • Takopi’s Original Sin Has A Far Better Story

The 2025 Anime of the Year award given by Crunchyroll stirred up plenty of debate last year, and the winner, Solo Leveling Season 1, didn’t please everyone. Now, fans think that Solo Leveling might win again with its second season, but Takopi’s Original Sin has emerged as a strong contender for this accolade as well.

If Frieren isn’t strong enough to outshine Solo Leveling, there’s a good chance that Takopi’s Original Sin could manage it instead. This is particularly likely given that by then, the excitement around Solo Leveling’s second season might have subsided. Furthermore, since Solo Leveling Season 3 is not expected to air in 2026, viewers’ focus may shift away from Solo Leveling, much like how it did at this year’s Anime Awards.

Although Solo Leveling might not win as many awards this year compared to last, given its second season gained even more popularity, Takopi’s Original Sin undeniably merits all the acclaim it receives.

Currently, “Solo Leveling” has two seasons streaming online, with the first having 12 episodes and the second boasting 13, making a total of 25 available episodes. These can be found on Crunchyroll for fans to watch in anticipation of news about season 3. If you’re eagerly waiting for the next installment, diving into the Manhwa might be an exciting alternative.
