Solo Leveling | OFFICIAL TEASER 

​@SednaStarling We don't need good story, we already have that with countless other shonens. We need some hype. Dragon Ball is gone for the moment, so we need another stupid action show.

apparently it will not ... the 12 episode season will take about half of the manhua ... if not more because of the pre-drawn parts we got leaked ... so ... prepare to have a God of Highschool the return in terms of details ... it will be bad ...

Do we have any official release date or even which month its coming out?

@Jaildred I'm curious about this, is this a newsletter or youtube video on this. I'd like to read it n send it to my circles

​@shail nakum Description says Winter 2024

It has an amazing story some filler but nonetheless fire story I just hope they go a little off track and really push emotions that I got from reading

Such as when he rivals the leader of the Chinese hunters and makes him feel”death” when he saves Jin ah from the orcs in their school. So many fearful badass moments they better make us watchers feel the emotions and do a good job animating I don’t want a let down.

​@Ominous I mean let's be honest the filler don't even feel like filler tbh him, traveling and doing stuff with ppl didn't feel like filler just more foundation to protect those he cared for

I feel like that award is reserved for demon slayer every year now, it's getting kind of annoying

​@Ominous amazing story? wdym bruh

Ngl I was hoping a studio like MAPPA or David Production would animate this, but A-1 did Magi *and* Kaguya Sama so I have faith it's going to be high quality. Fingers crossed, this series got me addicted to Manwha

@MrToast well they even animated sao and 86 so i will trust A-1 pictures

Umm, I'm asking on the assumption that u know the story, soo is this anime all bout fighing, I mean are the side characters just too bad here??

@Soham Mohanty didn't you read SL??

@Soham Mohanty It is mostly about fighting, but the side characters aren't bad. They're actually hella unique and very diverse considering half of them aren't Korean (or I guess it will be Japanese because a Japanese studio is making it? I don't know how they're going to reconcile that actually because the locations are pretty important plot wise). But our lead character dominates the screen time. The story is all about his personal journey, and he spends much of it on his own, hence the title "Solo Leveling".

Where can I watch it from. Is it already out

​@Prisca Nkonge nope but i heard its coming on 2023 fall

Same, but most of all even if they don't do too well in the animation as long as they don't take away from the manhwa or light novel. They better not add anything that wasn't in the light novel either unless it gives us a happier ending which already is a happy ending (sad for some characters but over all happy)

@Prisca Nkonge Not out yet. Not sure if it's coming in 2024 Winter or this winter. The video literally says "Next Winter" so not sure why people keep saying 2023 fall

@kartik sharma i have doubts becasue studio mainly work on romance animes but still have hopes :)

Also this study made the first two seasons of the seven deadly sins

@Rinin you dont have to worry A-1 is a top tier animation studio Their works are Mashle, Fate apocrypha, Fate Strange Fake, 86, The Seven Deadly Sins (first two seasons and first movie), Sword Art Online, Magi, Blue Exorcist, Lycoris Recoil, Nier Auto Mata, Kaguya Sama

@ภาณุวัฒน์ ผิวดํา Magi 🤩

Honestly the animation isn't going to be the problem. I'm worried about them making big changes in the anime and stray away from the manhwa or light novel!

Isn't it dubu who passed away?

@You (not) only live once wait was it? Apologies for my mistake!

I must've gotten the wrong name oh god I'm so sorry!

@Lame-o wait did the writer passed away? is mang

When i saw th statue's smile it gave me the chills 🥰

Everything seemed cool till the glow up sum seemed off to me with that scene but idk what I was

I think the design is to light in the anime. I hope they stick with the manwa feeling

I disagree, the statue, YES!, but everything else seemed halv assed. THIS here is the exact reason why Chugong didn't want it to be animated. It's going to be very hard to pull the anime up to a level where it's able to compete with the manwha.

@David yeah the tone was alot lighter and less dark then the manwa

And most important not to have them take away anything important from the lightnovel or manhwa!

Agreed

Yup

Same! They just better not ruin the story by taking away anything important or adding anything that wasn't in the light novel (unless they add more to the ending like for example more explanation and scenes of the side stories)

FR

Needs to be better than the "I am Atomic" trope everyone was on about.

Fr

Damn straight We need absolute CHILLSS

Agree

Same and I'm looking forward to the Jeju Island! When everything goes down and everyone sees how OP he really is!

its good but not that spectacular, so hold your horses

Tbh, "Solo" got pretty common story. The drawing in manhwa was great, but I it really don't need it's own anime. Come on, Koreans, don't you have better stories to animate?

@Random Russian No, we don’t.

Unfortunately its gonna apparently be a 12 episode anime with half of the manwha animated and they apparently changing his name

@Zawa Rudoprobably didn’t even read it if all your saying is “its good”

The art style isn't giving solo Leveling to me, so if they cut arcs or certain things, im gonna cry 😭😭

@Kendall same its a tad bit ""kid"" anime vibe

​@Kendall it looks like some isekai sword art online art style but im gonna keep to myself and not complain

​@Kendall they gave him a knife which is basically already going against the story since he can't afford to constantly replace his

@Kendall I wonder how it would've been with Studio Trigger instead. Sure their color palettes are somewhat pastel-like or dull, but their animations sure are quite detailed usually. Or if we really wanted it as close to solo leveling as possible then perhaps the animation studio of Grand Fate Order? Their coloring and lightning illumination is quite glowy.

Yuh solo leveling is mega popular without anime

Agreed!

Agreed but as for the art that's not going to happen, the animation already doesn't have the same art style, the only thing we can hope is they don't mess up his glow up or take away anything important from the anime!

I hope so too, but odds are once the source material runs dry they're just gonna milk it like I think they're doing now with the manhwa.

@Evil Black Cat They should have plenty of source material because both the manhwa and light novel had been concluded years ago.

@blackdog2626 But would it _really_ surprise you if they milk it? Come on, now.

those are the side stories from the light novel. they aren't milking anything for now

@Evil Black Cat not milking it, it’s just side stories lol

ARISE

ARISE

Wait what, the illustrator passed away? D:> Dang... I hope he's able to rest in peace.

What’s the illustrators name , so I can watch he’s other manhwa’s ?

ARISE

Agreed, they better not cut out anything that's important!!

just reading it gave me goozbump lol

I neeeeed to know the voice actors man

if its played out the same way as ''eminance in shadows'' style- i can see that beeing a blast

GOOSEBUMPS

@N Mergi I am the **SHADOW** ✨

Haven't you seen these scenes? It deserved animation like Fate or Kimetsu, this seems like some goofy aah shiet

It's A1 pictures, there literally the next ufotable

@Procamade lol ok u just talking

@Procamade animation won't be as good as Fate or Demon Slayer cause A-1 animation is not on Ufotable level but it should still be good

@Kasumi Saya better read the after story of the lightnovel or read solo leveling after story manhwa as it is still ongoing until now.. To the point that its already showing the mc's son story arc beginning.. Personally for me the lightnovel ending and after story is a bit more romantic vs the one made in manhwa but it still works.. And glad they continued to draw it even though its been more than a year of hiatus..

@Tim Dayawan didn't even know there was an after story

@Ok Boomer But It's a Cat enjoy it then.. If you did not know there is also a lightnovel for mc's son like boruto to naruto and its quite long.. I just hope they change some of its contents if they are to turn it to a manhwa.. Serioursly it does not match up with the current after story of solo leveling.. If you wanna read the solo leveling about his son its solo leveling ragnarok..he likes to use his fist or gauntlet unlike his dad dual daggers..

@Kasumi Saya Spoiler - You asked so anyone else reading stop if you don't want spoilers. He turns back time, which is the last time you can turn back time and then whatever happens that's that. He decides to not let anyone remember or know what happened and then goes to fight the dragon royal, and other monsters alll by himself with his original shadows. In that world time flows VERY different from earth. He faught alone with his shadows for 27 years meanwhile on earth only 2 years had passed. When he returned he was well over 20 years but because he became a royal he didn't age, he stopped aging and looked 20-23 so he reverted his age back to looking like a middle schooler. Then there are short stories which shows multiple small and then long time skips. We get to see all the other main and side characters in this new timeline with no dungeons and monsters. Telling you about all the side stories would be A LOT but the gist of it is he meets the girl he was dating again, tells her what happens, they get married, have a son, he becomes a cop but rejects promotions until his son is older. His son then gets his memories wiped clean and his powers locked until he is in high school where he becomes the main character for a bit and we get to see how he unlocks his powers. There are also other royals (if I remember correctly either royals or very strong people) who come over to fight Jin Woo because they sense his power. Too much to write but over all a happy yet sad ending. Bittersweet.

@Kasumi Saya You're welcome. If you can I HIGHLY recommend you read either the manhwa or the light novel. A super good story!

Agreed, also incase you didn't know it's a manhwa (Korean)

Indeed

I’ll be honest, it’s looking like sword art online 😭

@9 Ja Mizzy the Animation for Sword art online was good though?

​@9 Ja Mizzy That isnt a bad thing cuz sao has great animation tho😂

Run just keep running!!

sad news is that theyll be making him japanese

@Rick Sanchez only the name

@No Me and nationality, and the s ranks who help them in the jeju island arc are from a fantasy country

@No Me they are gonna change jinwoos and the entire cast into japanese, thats what i got from the leaks

@Rick Sanchez dont foreget they changing his name too

The creator of solo leveling???? did he at least get to finish his work

@JFK on LSD, not creator, the illustrator of the Mahnwa, solo leveling started out as a light novel, which I highly recommend reading if you haven't!

How does solo leveling end?

@Eduard Peeter Lemming yo why you asking for spoilers when google exists

​@Eduard Peeter Lemming he becomes max level

I HIGHLY recommend you read it! It is definitely a masterpiece!!

10/10 highly recommended. Read the manhwa, it's worth it.

same, bro

Don't start the fireworks before the anime is even out. They can ruin it in a lot of different ways like it has happened to a lot of other anime before.

@rucali Can you give me an example of an anime that A-1 Pictures ruined?

it would be ebtter if the animators took their time and released it 2025

And it only came out when I turn 30 years old😂😂😭😭😭

Let's goooooo shun mizushino

are you seriously spoiling the anime, in the trailer to the anime?

@Tastelikesorrow No they are not. Dubu was the original illustrator of the manhwa who sadly passed away in 2022 due to a cerebral hemorrhage. His illustrations were amazing, so I hope they do his art justice in animated form.

@Tastelikesorrow bro dubu is the guy who drew solo leveling calm down lol

My mistake.

@Tastelikesorrow Do you know why you made this mistake? Because you, a person probably raised in the internet era, spoke before reading. You thought it was more valuable to say something than to go search for "Dubu". You should remember this mistake, it was important. No offense.

spit king

Anime of the year kekw

I recommend reading something else to keep your mind off of it. If you haven't read "infinite level up in murim" then I HIGHLY recommend it! The MC starts off weak and then works hard to become stronger! He also finds friends along the way who support him.

I really wish he was as well. As I'm sure he would've smiled big, seeing this masterpiece get the attention it deserves.

@Jon Wagenaar I'm sure he would've :')

Wait the author is dead😭😭😭😭😭

@WhatShouldINameThis the actual author of Solo Leveling is alive, but DUBU was the artist for the Solo Leveling comic and he passed away a couple months ago, I believe.

@whatshouldinamethis8557 author is alive DUBU the artist passed away from a chronic illness a few months ago

better that great

@SednaStarling stop being edgy man

@SednaStarling Indubitably

@SednaStarling is that so edgelord kun

This will probably be the first time imma say this about an adaptation but I hope they make some tweaks that final stretch of solo leveling was pretty lack luster not gonna lie. I know it was rushed because of the authors health issues but it was pretty bad.

@Fix Me I think that’s fair. I really enjoyed the mystery being explained and all, but I also felt like the last minute exposition dumping kinda burnt me out a little. Overall I’ll probably be happy as long as it’s hype

@Fix Me yes all we can do for now is hope that it receives the blue lock treatment. But honestly, they have a game and anime coming up and so far both look rushed.

@Fix Me did you see the extra chapters that go on after the ending? Pretty good

bruh no way they animating the entire manwha "season 1" in just an anime's season 1 of 12/24 episodes

Its def not masterpiece but it was a fun read

It is in fact not a masterpiece. Korea has yet to release anything above average, the closest one to being somewhat good was the breaker but it got straight up abandoned. Oversold leveling is one dimensional story with zero real secondary characters, it never does anything unexpected, character just nullifies everything in dront of them it’s just boring after 40 chapters. Demon slayer is one of the worst shonens to ever get animated in terms of story and it’s characters but it’s a masterpiece compared to oversold leveling.

@Im BaconPlate yeahhhh xdd

@Bunny 1h0T idk how you are passionately hating on this xd you must think your tastes are superior aint no way you are baiting

@Bunny 1h0T im curios what you think are masterpieces in general, id love to know!

It has to be way more than 20, unless you mean per season? Then YES they better make it at least 20 episodes season, however I'm rooting for at least 24 episodes per season!

they already got it pretty good

It looks really good I hope the voice acting and the osts bring it all together

@ayasera _ agreed

@ayasera _ the ost are already gonna be bangers, the guy who made attack on titans is on this, all we need is good animation and va and ittl be peak

@Sota which guy? All of them slap but i want a more accurate answer please
