Not too long ago, Redditors decided to compile data on the top 300 anime on Crunchyroll, using the amount of ratings to rank the shows. Of course, going just by this data, older and longer lasting anime definitely have the upper hand, but when the list first got posted on the forum, Solo Leveling already manged to rank in the top 10.

Recently, a new post went viral, which has indicated that Solo Leveling has actually surpassed Attack on Titan in the ranking. While Solo Leveling, whilst the series was still airing in Winter 2024, managed to make it to spot seven. Attack on Titan was in eighth. But now, it seems that Solo Leveling has actually accumulated more ratings than Attack on Titan, switching their spots.

The top ranking anime? Of course, none other than One Piece. The series has the most episodes and is just the most iconic anime in the last 20-years. Other series in the top five include Demon Slayer in second place, Jujutsu Kaisen in third, Chainsaw Man in fourth and Spy x Family in fifth.

With this huge success of Solo Leveling internationally, and in Japan, it will be interesting to see whether animation studios decide to continue to adapt web comics and web novels into anime. Honestly, an Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint anime is definitely worth watching.
