7 Perfect Anime Better Than Solo Leveling

One Piece

One Piece is quite different from Solo Leveling in just about every way. The anime features some amazing fights, just like Solo Leveling, but it has never been the sole focus of the story. One Piece is heavy on the plot, and follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy with his crew through various arcs as he chases after his ultimate goal — to become the Pirate King. The One Piece anime, in recent years, has greatly improved in quality, and it definitely stands out even among seasonal series.

Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball is the father of Shonen anime and manga. It might just be the most revolutionary series in the medium and without Dragon Ball, the industry would simply not be what it is today. Solo Leveling’s Sung Jinwoo has had his fair share of battles, but none have surpassed the peaks of Dragon Ball’s fights.

Initially, Dragon Ball was about a kid named Goku looking for the Dragon Balls. But with time, the series greatly evolved, with powerful enemies and universe-shattering battles unfolding. Even 40 years later, the series is still ongoing.

Naruto

Naruto is what some would call the peak of Shonen, and worldwide, it might be the single most recognizable anime series. Naruto’s story has captivated millions and the protagonist’s growth from a child to an adult where he becomes Hokage of the village, unfolds over a few hundred episodes of pure entertainment.

Naruto’s battles are some of the best in anime, far surpassing whatever Solo Leveling has put out so far. Naruto vs Pain or Sasuke vs Itachi, for example, remain to be some of the most iconic anime battles of all time.

If there’s an anime series that fans would describe as perfection, it’s none other than Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. For a while, this anime was the highest-rated of all time, and the reason why is clear. The characters are amazing, the story is borderline flawless, and the anime itself is one of the best of its time.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows the story of Edward Elric and his brother, Alphonse Elric. After a forbidden transmutation in the hopes of reviving their mother, everything goes wrong, and Alphonse loses his body. The two then set out to find the Philosopher’s stone in hopes of fixing what they had caused.

Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan has become an anime that has opened up the medium to millions who previously would’ve never thought anime was for them. The series has definitely become iconic in that regard, and it’s in big part thanks to its gruesome story.

In Attack on Titan, humans live within one of three walls, but one day, one of the walls falls, and Titans, human-eating giants, make it through. After seeing his mother devoured in front of him, Eren, the main character, vows to kill all the Titans. Attack on Titan’s story and characters are definitely something far beyond the level of Solo Leveling.
