Solo Leveling only debuted in 2024, but it's already become the most-watched anime of all time on streaming platform Crunchyroll.

As revealed during Sony's Business Segment Presentation (H/T Anime Corner), Solo Leveling is now "Ranked #1 in Crunchyroll View Count History" as of March 2025.

Solo Leveling may have exploded out of nowhere – but its surge in popularity should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention in recent months.

Back in March, Solo Leveling became the most-reviewed show on Crunchyroll, with over 600,000 ratings. Its compilation film Solo Leveling: ReAwakening – which provided a tease of the then-upcoming second season – grossed a healthy $3.3 million at the US box office, even with a limited screening.
