Solo Leveling sets historic benchmark with 9 wins at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards
In a landmark achievement for modern anime, Solo Leveling has etched its name in history by sweeping the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Winning in nine out of the 13 categories it was nominated for, the series not only cemented its place as a fan-favorite but also broke the record for the most awards won in a single year at the prestigious event.
Solo Leveling wins
Anime of the Year
despite stiff competition
Despite facing strong contenders like Kaiju No. 8, Delicious in Dungeon, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and Dandadan, Solo Leveling walked away with the coveted Anime of the Year award. What's remarkable is that it was only the fifth-most nominated anime of the night, making its dominant performance all the more impressive.
The hit adaptation of Chugong's 2016 Korean web novel clinched additional honors in key categories like Best New Series, Best Action, and Best Main Character for Sung Jinwoo.
The show also impressed with its immersive soundtrack, composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, which won Best Score. The emotionally powerful ending theme, 'request' by krage, secured the Best Ending Sequence award.
Global voice talent shines in Solo Leveling's diverse wins
One standout feature of Solo Leveling's success is the international recognition of its voice cast. Aleks Le earned Best English Voice Artist Performance for his portrayal of Sung Jinwoo. Reflecting on the role, Le said, "As an Asian immigrant, I saw myself in him...

Watching his growth and bringing that to life was incredibly meaningful."
The show also bagged regional voice performance awards, including Best Brazilian Portuguese Voice Artist Performance (Charles Emmanuel) and Best Castilian Spanish Voice Artist Performance (Masumi Mutsuda), signaling the anime's broad global resonance.
The anime's runaway success reflects its powerful connection with fans, which began with the original web novel and exploded with the manga's dominance in the Circana BookScan Top 20 Adult Graphic Novels chart earlier this year.
The series claimed five of the top 20 spots, underscoring its lasting impact across mediums.

'It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion,' says Abhishek Bachchan revealing why he doesn't express on social media
Abhishek Bachchan is getting a lot of appreciation for his release, 'Kaalidhar Laapata', which has begun streaming on July 4. The actor was previously seen in 'Housefull 5' and completed 25 years in Hindi cinema recently. During a chat with ETimes, Abhishek opened up on how he's reduced his social media presence. The actor has now limited his social media for just posting professional updates about his movies. When asked if it's true that he doesn't express much, he said, "Publicly, yes. I don't express much off-screen. I express on screen. Do you want to know how I feel? Go watch my movie. I don't want to know what actors are like when they're not acting. I genuinely don't. I'm not interested. I'm interested in what they're doing on screen. Don't shatter that illusion for me." Is that why he doesn't share much on social media lately? He responds, "Partially yes, and also I feel currently, sadly, and I'm the first person who used to say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen but I just feel a lot of social media is just about baiting. It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion. When it first started you could have a healthy debate or discourse with somebody. Now it's not that. I use it more professionally now." Abhishek is currently shooting for 'King' which his father Amitabh Bachchan confirmed on social media on the first day when he started the movie. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan , Suhana Khan and reportedly, Deepika Padukone as well.

'3BHK' box office collection day 2: Siddharth's family drama gathers momentum with Rs 1.44 Cr on Saturday
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Siddharth's latest Tamil-language family drama '3BHK' is beginning to find its footing at the box office. As reported by the Sacnilk website, after a modest start with Rs 1 crore on its opening day, the film witnessed a healthy upward trend on Saturday. It collected an estimated Rs 1.44 crore across all languages on Saturday. This brings the two-day total to ₹2.44 crore (India net). Steady occupancy across key markets The occupancy numbers for Saturday reflect encouraging interest. In Tamil (2D) shows, the film recorded an overall occupancy of 27.94%, with night shows peaking at 41.49%. Telugu versions also held steady with a 22.81% average occupancy, climbing to 37.36% by night. 3BHK - Official Telugu Trailer In urban centers like Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, the film is reportedly pulling in steady crowds, especially for evening and late-night shows. Aditi Rao Hydari's heartfelt support for Siddharth Adding a personal touch to the film's release, Aditi Rao Hydari—Siddharth's wife and Heeramandi star—took to Instagram to cheer him on. Sharing a sweet and emotional message, she referred to him as her 'Benjamin Button / Peter Pan / manicorn.' In her caption, she reflected on the film's core theme: 'The dream every Indian family dreams. To have a home they can call their own... to dream with determination, with hope, with love, goodness, and to never give up.' Our verdict ETimes gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review reads, "Siddharth doesn't age! He's believable as both a schoolboy and a grown-up. Sarathkumar brings genuine pathos to the perpetually worried patriarch. Devayani who plays Sarathkumar's wife Shanti, is adequate. But familiarity breeds tedium here. The beats arrive exactly when expected: the well-meaning father who makes questionable decisions, the son who rediscovers his true calling after years of mediocrity, the sacrificial daughter whose potential gets sidelined. Yogi Babu's brief role as a broker offers a couple of amusing moments. At 140 minutes, the film tests patience without offering much beyond recognition. Yes, the struggles will ring a bell. Yes, you'll appreciate the absence of manufactured drama. But recognition isn't the same as engagement. '3 BHK' constructs its narrative like its titular apartment: functional, predictable, and standard." Driven by compelling performances from Siddharth, R. Sarathkumar, and Devayani, '3BHK' seems all set for a steady run if its current pace continues.
