This Dark Fantasy Anime Just Knocked Solo Leveling Out Of Crunchyroll’s Top Spot — Have You Seen It Yet?

Crunchyroll has a new series leading its charts, and Solo Leveling is no longer holding the crown. Gachiakuta, which made its anime debut in July, has steadily climbed in viewership and now sits at the top of Crunchyroll’s global Top TV Shows list as of August 27, 2025, per Flixpatrol. It also holds the top spot on the platform’s Most Popular anime list, ahead of One Piece and Kaiju No. 8.

Solo Leveling has dropped out of both the top 10 and the top 20 in the Most Popular list on Crunchyroll. At the time of writing, it is currently sitting at number 66, between My Hero Academia and Aharen-sa wa Hakaranei. Still, the series continues to attract viewers.

Solo Leveling’s Rise & Sudden Fall in Rankings

Earlier this year, Solo Leveling had the spotlight. It collected awards, including Anime of the Year at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, and was even highlighted in a Sony presentation. Plans for a live-action version were also confirmed, with actor Byeon Woo-seok cast in the lead. Yet its hold on the top has weakened over the past few months, as other titles gained traction. Takopi’s Original Sin shook things up with high IMDb scores, and now Gachiakuta has taken over the role of challenger.
