2025 saw one of the most controversial Crunchyroll Awards ceremonies of the last few years take place. The Crunchyroll 2025 Awards had multiple incredible nominees for various awards lined up, but an abnormal number of these accolades went to Solo Leveling, including, but not limited to, Anime of the Year Award and even Best Main Character Award. This was definitely a shock to many fans, who expected Frieren to go home with the big awards. But Solo Leveling and Frieren aside, there was another anime that deserved the win far more, yet it wasn’t even nominated. This anime is Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, the best, but most underrated, anime of 2024 and 2025.
