'My Hero Academia' was awarded Anime of the Year at the 10th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, while 'Solo Leveling' made headlines by becoming the first series on the platform to exceed 1 million ratings, with an impressive 95% of those ratings being five stars. Despite its immense popularity, 'Solo Leveling' was notably absent from the Anime of the Year nominations, which sparked considerable debate among fans. The series, however, did receive 10 nominations in other categories, achieving wins in Best Action and Best Animation. 'Solo Leveling' originally premiered on January 7, 2024, and follows the story of Sung Jin-woo, a weak hunter who gains extraordinary powers after a near-fatal dungeon raid. The second season, which significantly boosted its ratings, premiered on January 5, 2025, and was released on Crunchyroll in March 2026. This achievement positions 'Solo Leveling' ahead of other major titles like 'Jujutsu Kaisen' and 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.'
