We should address the obvious thing that’s happening. Everyone has their own opinions following the concluding of the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, with some loving the results, others confused and some truly upset. With nine victories, Solo Leveling won the night and most impressively, Anime of the Year. But here’s the real question: Did it deserve it?
Fans of The Beginning After the End (TBATE) waited years for its anime adaptation, dreaming of seeing Arthur Leywin’s epic journey brought to life. But when the first episodes dropped in Spring 2025, excitement turned to outrage. The anime, produced by Studio A-CAT and Crunchyroll, was criticized for its stiff animation, lackluster art style, and slideshow-like pacing. Critics compared it unfavorably to Solo Leveling’s polished adaptation, which had set a sky-high bar for manhwa-to-anime transitions.
The Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025 crowned Solo Leveling as the undisputed champion, with the anime adaptation of Chugong’s hit manhwa sweeping seven awards, including the prestigious Anime of the Year. The ceremony, held at Tokyo’s Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa, saw over 51 million votes from fans worldwide, making it one of the most competitive years yet.
