In some ways, One Piece stays the crown jewel of Crunchyroll’s anime library. With over 1100 episodes to stream, with all of them about to obtain an English dub for the first time, and counting, it’s one among the largest reveals in any medium in the world. Nevertheless, Solo Leveling has just confirmed that you simply don’t want an inexhaustible episode depend to amass a large following, because it has just overtaken One Piece in the variety of reviews on the Crunchyroll web site.
As of March 17, Solo Leveling has 614,300 reviews on the Crunchyroll web site, in comparison with the 600,500 reviews for One Piece. You will need to keep in mind that reviews on Crunchyroll have been restricted to a 1-to-5-star ranking ever since July 2024, which limits the info offered by the group and when the reviews have been made. Nevertheless, we all know that One Piece was first streamed on Crunchyroll in 2013, which suggests it has had 12 years to build up over 600k reviews. Solo Leveling first debuted in January 2024, so it has had barely over a yr and 23 episodes to do the similar.
What does this inform us about the respective fanbases? We wouldn’t go so far as to say that Solo Leveling is higher than One Piece (although it does get pleasure from a 4.9-star ranking in comparison with One Piece’s 4.8-star ranking on Crunchyroll), however this is definitely proof of the intense ardour that Solo Leveling followers have for the present. It’s simply the largest present of the season and stands a good likelihood of being the largest one among the yr, even with its second season finale due out in a few weeks.
It’s also value noting that One Piece has been on hiatus since October 2024, with Crunchyroll anticipated to simulcast the new episodes once they begin airing on April 6, 2025. That can seemingly tip the scales again in favor, however, for now, Solo Leveling will get to get pleasure from its time at the high of the Crunchyroll rankings.
