It’s no secret that anime is rapidly growing in popularity. After smashing records for total earnings in 2023, anime enjoyed a 2024 defined by some big returning seasons from smash-hit shows, and even more newcomers to the scene making names for themselves. Series like Dandadan, Delicious in Dungeon, and Kaiju no. 8 came along and took the anime world by storm, dominating online discourse while pulling in new fans by the thousands. No show, however, had a bigger year than Solo Leveling.
