Solo Leveling Becomes Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime, setting a new milestone for the streaming platform just months after the conclusion of its second season. The popular action-fantasy series now holds the record for the highest number of views among all anime titles on Crunchyroll.
This historic achievement was officially revealed in Sony’s Business Segment Presentation & Fireside Chat 2025, published on June 13, 2025. According to the report, by the end of March 2025, Solo Leveling had claimed the top spot in Crunchyroll’s all-time viewership rankings. The season 2 finale aired on March 30, 2025, marking a strong finish that propelled the anime to this record-breaking status.
Sony Confirms: Solo Leveling Becomes Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime
The announcement that Solo Leveling Becomes Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime aligns with earlier milestones that showcased the show’s massive popularity. In late March 2025, Solo Leveling became the most user-rated anime on Crunchyroll, receiving an impressive 4.9-star average from over 610,000 reviews.
Surpassing global hits like Demon Slayer and the long-running One Piece, Solo Leveling’s rapid rise is remarkable. In February, Crunchyroll already confirmed that Solo Leveling was the most-watched new anime of 2024, highlighting its strong debut and fan engagement. Additionally, the manga has seen a surge in sales following the release of season 2.
What’s Next for Solo Leveling After Becoming Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime?
Despite the incredible viewership numbers that made Solo Leveling Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime, there’s still no official announcement regarding a third season. However, fans can rest assured that more content is on the way.
Mitchel Berger, Crunchyroll’s Head of Theatrical and Distribution, stated that Sung Jinwoo’s journey will continue. “We just wrapped up season 2, which performed really well for us. More content will definitely come in the future,” Berger said. “We don’t have a specific date yet, but the story will go on.”
Other people involved in the production have also suggested that season 3 is more a question of “when” rather than “if.” However, considering production timelines, fans likely shouldn’t expect a 2026 release. A launch window in 2028 appears to be the most realistic scenario for now.
Since its debut on January 7, 2024, Solo Leveling has become Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime, dominating the anime scene and pop culture discussions worldwide. At the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, the series received multiple honors, including the prestigious Anime of the Year title.
Looking ahead, the Solo Leveling franchise continues to grow. The new action RPG Solo Leveling: ARISE Overdrive is scheduled for release this fall on PC, with an Xbox-exclusive launch planned for 2026.
