okay solo leveling isn’t bad especially as someone who read it all back in 2020 but the problem is where and how deep the story is now it definitely didn’t deserve anime of the year over frieren the story and deeper meaning of that along w animation is definitely better Once u watch more anime or get deeper into it like how ppl are w movies you’ll agree. Doesn’t mean sl is bad by any means it won solely off of hype ngl cause we have good animation everywhere now
Ikr? Like anything but Solo Leveling deserved it. Most of the other nominations had actually good writing and story crafting. The Apothecary Diaries for example had SO much research and effort behind it. Honestly disappointed, especially with how much I have heard about it recently. I expected that or Frieren to win
