Solo Leveling has just shown why it is called one of the best manhwa of all time. With only its first episode it has broken many records, and it is just the starting of what is about to come in the upcoming weeks.
Solo Leveling was already in the hype ever since the news of its production came out. Manhwa fans have been eagerly waiting for it for over three years, and they are glad to see their favorite Manhwa breaking records.
However, it will be hard for the anime to keep up its hype since it’s just in the developing stage of the story. So, in this article, we will be taking a look at how Solo Leveing’s first episode became the most-liked episode on Crunchyroll, and who it surpassed to come on top.
Solo Leveling’s First Episode Becomes the Most Liked Episode on Crunchyroll
After three weeks of release, Solo Leveling’s first episode has over 158k+ likes, which made it the most-liked episode on Crunchyroll, surpassing One Piece Episode 1071 (Gear 5), which currently has over 141k+ likes.
Well, the hype for Gear 5 was unreal. Every One Piece fan has been waiting for this moment to be adapted into anime and also broke many records with that particular episode, so it was a big thing for Solo Leveling to surpass that mark
It is the first time that a debuting anime is getting such a good response, and it is also all over the internet right now. If I open any social media app these days, the first thing that I see is something about Solo Leveling
How Solo Leveling Episode Became the Most Liked Anime?
If something is hyped for so long, it is understandable that everyone is going to check out to know what the hype is about. In the Solo Leveling case, its manhwa has been tagged as the “best manhwa of all time.”
I guess everyone who has read Manhwa has at least checked Solo Leveling. I have also read a couple of Manhwas, and Solo Leveling was the starting point of it. So the anime was already backed up with such hype for so long, which made everyone check it out.
And like One Piece, anime viewers didn’t have to watch 1000+ episodes to watch the Gear 5 episode. So it’s not that shocking to see Solo Leveling’s first episode being loved by so many viewers.
Solo Leveling’s Anime Future
We rarely get a sequel to the Manhwa adaptation anime, like God of High School. Even though it is one of the most loved anime, it hasn’t gotten any sequel since they only wanted to promote the Manhwa.
We also got Lookism, which is yet to get a green light for the production of its next sequel. The Tower of God anime squeal was also announced after keeping its fans in the dark for three years. So, all we can do is hope that they don’t do this to Solo Leveling and release its sequel timely.
How Solo Leveling is Going to Dominate this Year
There are many big animes making their comeback in 2024, like Haikyuu, Demon Slayer, Blue Lock, Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia, Chainsaw Men, etc. All these anime will release their top-quality content.
In My Hero Academia, the final arc will start, which is going to be very interesting. Haikyuu will release its first movie, which will have the most hyped match of all, Kurasuno vs Nekoma. Chainsaw Man’s movie is going to adapt the Rize arc, which is yet another banger.
So the competition is very high this year, but I still think that Solo Leveling will surpass them all. The anime is currently listed with 12 episodes, which will adapt one of the best fights in its climax, and A-1 studio is already doing a great job with the animation, so I believe it will be like what Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 was in 2023.
