Solo Leveling succeeds globally, but Japan is less impressed

The anime Solo Leveling is a massive hit globally, but surprisingly, it hasn't resonated as strongly with Japanese audiences, according to its animation producer. While Solo Leveling is the most-watched anime in Crunchyroll's history, the show's reception in Japan was described as "no different from any other anime," a stark contrast to its global success. The series follows the journey of a weak hunter who gains the ability to level up. Crunchyroll has confirmed future content is planned, though the exact timing of a third season is unknown. The anime's popularity has surged, making it a record-breaker for the streaming platform.
