The highly anticipated second season of Solo Leveling officially began streaming on January 4, 2025. Fans across the globe were excited to witness the return of Jinwoo Sung and his thrilling journey as one of the most powerful hunters.
The premiere was eagerly awaited, with many predicting it would cause streaming platforms, particularly Crunchyroll, to crash due to the massive influx of viewers.
Did It Crash Crunchyroll?
Contrary to expectations, the internet didn’t break, and Crunchyroll servers handled the traffic effortlessly. Fans who logged in to watch the first episode found the platform running smoothly, with no interruptions or slowdowns.
Other anime streaming platforms hosting the show also reported no technical issues during the premiere. This surprised many, given the hype surrounding the new season.
The reason behind no server crash is simple
So, why didn’t the predicted crash occur? One major reason is that a significant portion of the audience had already watched the first two episodes during the Solo Leveling: Reawakening movie release.
This special screening provided Season 2’s opening episodes, which may have reduced the rush to watch the premiere online.
Additionally, Crunchyroll’s servers have significantly improved in recent years, following previous crashes during major anime releases like Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer. These upgrades have made the platform more reliable, even during high-traffic events.
Despite the lack of a server crash, the first episode was well-received by viewers. It picks up right where Season 1 left off, continuing Jinwoo’s journey as he navigates the dangerous world of hunters and dungeons
