Their popularity skyrocketed during the pandemic and the spectacular animation quality was a huge reason behind that spike. TheSolo Levelingmanhwa’s pre-existing popularity and the anime’s extraordinary performance have surpassedJujutsu Kaisenon Crunchyroll. While it’s yet to beatDemon Slayer, one thing is clear,Solo Levelinganime is checking all the right boxes.

Solo LevelingSeason 2 is currently airing and that might be part of the reason behind this achievement. However, we can’t dismiss the glorious run ofSolo Levelinganime so far. From the storyline to the animation, the anime has been consistently good and only gets better with every episode.
Here’s what makesSolo Levelingwork so well
At the beginning ofJujutsu Kaisen, there were many emotional events and developments. The characters are undeniably some of the most memorable and coolest. As the plot progresses inJujutsu Kaisen, the narrative becomes riddled with shocking developments and deaths. They fail to leave a long-lasting impact beyond the immediate shock or thrill.

Similarly, every anime fan is familiar with the animation debacle ofJJK. In this way, the anime has been inconsistent in a lot of ways with some extraordinary and senseless moments. At the same time,Solo Levelinghas a simplistic storyline that promises an engaging journey towards ultimate power. Without making too many promises, the story excels in progressing at a consistent pace.
Sung Jin Woo’s leveling-up journey introduces us to many compelling characters like Igris. Even though we’re only seeing him become stronger, the story doesn’t get repetitive. Moreover, the animation was great in the first season and has only gotten better with the second one. So far,Solo Levelingis excelling on all fronts and hopefully, won’t fumble going forward.
Solo LevelingandJujutsu Kaisenare available to stream on Crunchyroll.
