Crunchyroll President On Hopes For ‘Solo Leveling’ Season 3, ‘Ghost Of Tsushima’ & New ‘Demon Slayer’ Movies
Exclusive: Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini has talked about hopes for more Solo Leveling and given the latest on the new Demon Slayer trilogy of movies and Ghost of Tsushima, the upcoming anime series based on the PlayStation game of the same name.
Solo Leveling has popped on Crunchyroll, the anime SVOD service that has over 15M subs. It was the Sony-owned service’s most popular show through 2024. Season 2 dropped in January, becoming Crunchyroll’s top series in the first quarter of 2025. Fans are clamoring for more.
Purini attributes the success of the series to the strength of the source IP — it was already a popular manhwa (Korean comic) — as well as the quality of the visuals and production. A-1 Pictures animated the series and Shunsuke Nakashige directed.
Noting that most anime fans are also gamers, Purini went on to pinpoint another reason he thinks the series has resonated so strongly.
