Solo leveling definitely deserved the win. Not because it's better than frieren per se, but because that's just how these awards work. There is no clear cut way to convert anime into numbers to see which one is higher It's all subjective on how the judges (and the people see it). So in the end it's all just a popularity contest. It also just so happens that action style shonen are a lot more popular than slow fantasy shonen. Not to mention that before they all became anime solo leveling already had a solid fanbase because power fantasy is a very popular niche in the manwha/manhua community and it was a particularly established title as well. Before both anime came out I bet more people knew about solo leveling than frieren already. Winning the anime of the year doesn't mean it's better, just that it's more popular. If you really feel so strongly about the results based on the opinion of a group of people who may or may not share your tastes, it's probably much a better idea to convince your friends to vote than complain about the results of the awards afterwards

2025-06-29 21:25:49 +0000 UTCIts cool. I dont take it as an attack. I take as it is and id rather expand with video than write another essay since video is my platform. And I made sure to not include your name

2025-06-29 19:00:21 +0000 UTCWow. I'm actually amazed at how you interpreted my comment, as if it were some sort of attack. All I said was that seeing this disappointed me, clearly referring to your take on the topic, not you as people. But of course, it got twisted into “you disappointed me,” which was never my intention. Secondly, I never said you hated shonen. I said there’s a trend of people hating on shonen, and you completely distorted that. And lastly, to say you’ve never seen my comments before this video when I’ve commented across your YouTube channel countless times, received heart reactions from you, and have consistently praised all three of you for being smart, insightful, and my absolute favourite reaction channel, it honestly blows my mind. I was the one who kept suggesting you react to the Ben 10 series because I genuinely believed it could help you reach a wider audience and grow your subscriber base. That came from a place of support and care. This was literally the first time I ever gave critical feedback, and instead of engaging with it, it got put on blast. Sure, you didn’t say my name, but you pointed out the video, so anyone can find the comment within a minute. I don’t regret commenting here now, I just felt I had to clarify these things because I’m genuinely in disbelief. And ironically, this entire comment section is proving the very point I was trying to make in the original comment.

2025-06-29 17:55:25 +0000 UTCPeople always think because I say Frieren was the better show that I’m like shitting on Solo Leveling. Like no I watched the shit out of Solo Leveling it was hype but Frieren is just objectively better in a many number of ways still no hate to Solo tho it’s just like ones a 10 and ones an 8, still both high above a 5 average but ones still higher

2025-06-29 01:08:19 +0000 UTCSolo Leveling is considered a super mid show in japan because that's exactly what it is, Fancy animation and some aura farming. There is no story or any character progress. That doesn't mean you can't like it but in the west that's how the majority of people brains work. OHH aura farming! ohhh fights! best show! Stuff like that was great when I was younger but man I like a good story. Give me Tamayura, Mushishi, Natsume Book of Friends. I would take shows like that any day.

2025-06-28 20:01:33 +0000 UTCJust curious and making early predictions but for 2026 anime awards would you go with To Be Hero X or Solo Leveling S2 for Anime of the Year?

2025-06-28 19:13:06 +0000 UTCOverall, Solo Leveling is just a better Sword Art Online and I will die on this hill. You can not tell me a single good thing it has aside from aura farming and good animation. It's hype--but that's it. I'd even say that in terms of character depth and development, SAO is better than SL.
