Anime is bigger than ever these days. While the medium wriggled its way into mainstream culture decades ago, anime has never been as universal as it is today. Thanks to the Internet and social media, anime has become the go-to medium for millions of fans. Of course, services like Crunchyroll helped bring much of that anime to netizens, and now a new report is breaking down the site’s most popular titles.
The extensive list cropped up on Reddit courtesy of Arcii as it ranks the top 300 anime titles on Crunchyroll. With about 1,800 titles to sort through, the list ranks the most popular series based on their review count. So if you can guess the winner, be our guest!

Most impressively, Solo Leveling made its way on to this list even though the anime premiered back in July. The adaptation managed to outperform classics like Naruto, so don’t discount Solo Leveling!
When it comes to the top twenty picks, plenty more familiar titles litter the list. Black Clover claimed the 20th spot with nearly 121k reviews. Blue Lock followed Asta in the next spot, so for those curious about the next ten ranks, you can read the winners below:
