Solo Leveling surpasses One Piece in anime ratings
"Solo Leveling" Season 2 premiered in Winter 2025, featuring the Jeju Island Arc. The series has gained significant popularity, surpassing "One Piece" and "Demon Slayer" in ratings on Crunchyroll, with over 594.6k ratings. The anime's success is attributed to its faithful adaptation by A-1 Pictures, maintaining the story's integrity while enhancing animation quality and fight choreography. This marks a notable achievement for manhwa adaptations, previously overshadowed by other anime. "One Piece" is currently on a break, while "Demon Slayer" and "Jujutsu Kaisen" are not airing new episodes. This shift in viewership highlights the growing appeal of manhwa adaptations in the anime community.
