- Best New Series – A standout debut.
- Best Score (Hiroyuki Sawano) – Epic, cinematic music.
- Best Ending Sequence ("request" by krage) – A perfect closer.
Fans praised Solo Leveling for its faithful adaptation and visual spectacle, but the wins also sparked debates, especially against Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, which many considered a strong contender for Anime of the Year.
Fan Reactions: Celebration & Controversy
While Solo Leveling fans celebrated the sweep, others questioned whether its popularity outweighed storytelling depth. Some argued that Frieren, which won Best Drama and Best Director, deserved the top prize for its emotional depth and artistry. Still, Solo Leveling’s dominance proves its massive global appeal, setting a high bar for future adaptations.
