Announcement trailer on YouTube:


A-1 is going all out with making some of the best projects these past few years.
Will this be the next most anticipated anime after Chainsaw Man releases this year? And do yall think they're trying to rival Mappa that already has hugely anticipated series JJK, CM, and AoT or at least one of the other big studios by taking on this series? How confident are yall that they'll be able to be faithful to the source material while delivering top tier quality?

Just saw the trailer a minute ago on youtube. We can only hope it will live up to the hype, although it will probably be overhyped as many shows have been. It's good to see more manhwa being adapted lately. Maybe it won't be like the TOG adaptation. We didn't get any real animation in the PV, but my hopes remain high! It will definitely be on my PTW list.

It's probably some way off releasing, which is why the trailer lacks any real animation. I'm guessing Fall 2023 is probably when it's being released, with the average production time on an Anime being 6 to 12 months.

With covid still threatening to halt production studios in Japan I honestly wouldn't be surprised yet disappointed if it gets pushed further back to Winter of 2024 (December 2023/January 2024) And I'm only saying that since we aren't sure how much they've done already and this is just a bad case scenario. Chainsaw Man has already showed full animation trailers a few months ago, so I'm pretty confident they'll release it this year but it could be split into 2 cours or possibly delayed.

Throwback to God of Highschool, Tower of God (which is the better of the other 2 listed), and Nobelesse in 2020...at least MAPPA had good animation for GoH.
Hopefully A-1 does Manhwa right for their first time.

Recently A-1 has been popping off considering how well they’ve been doing with animation and adaptations recently (the sao movies look really cool)

also…HIROYUKI SAWANO DOING THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO AWESOME, the music in the trailer sounded so epic and he did the ost for 86 and that sounded sick

Noboru Kimura is a big yikes, that guy cannot write a decent script to save his life and with how manhwa have been adapted recently we can’t predict the outcome even with A1 adapting it. Rest of staff looks decent.

Dunno if they’ll ever adapt to the ending, but if they do I hope they tweak the awful conclusion.

I haven't read the manwha but it looks like an action. If it's an action I have no worries. A-1 pictures made some of the most beautiful action anime like Seven deadly sins and Blue exorcist. So I think they'll pull this off.

Genuinely surprised that Sawano even thought of agreeing to doing the music for this given how tired he is of doing these action shows where every director asks the same thing of him every time "eg. make me an AoT-sounding soundtrack", and the song in this trailer might as well be from that, or 86, or the other ones he gets pigeonholed into composing for every time.

Not to mention he usually involves Kohta Yamamoto and gives a lot of the workload to him to avoid having to do it all by himself, but he's listed as the only one in the staff list, which is a bit concerning. I suppose his non-action, non-"epic" tracks that everyone always asks for will be good, as those are the non-samey sounding ones.

Look, I'm as hyped as the next person, but it's A1, they can be so hit or miss. The staff also don't completely fill me with confidence, although we have the director from Re Zero, the scriptwriter has done a lot of harems. Granted, the script for Solo Leveling won't matter too much, I was hoping for more of a "shounen orientated" staff cast. Let's hope A1 do it justice.

This will not get a same treatment as TOG, GOH, and Noblesse anymore. You know why? Simple.. It's not CRUNCHYROLL anymore. We know that when they're the producers, things really go down and the adaptation FVCKS UP.

But know A-1 Pictures & Aniplex will do it. We know this two made the adaptation of 86 and the recently concluded Kaguya-sama a legit masterpiece. So yeah.. I don't have any worries. And we have Hiroyuki Sawano on the music.. I can die happy now :")

Only Crunchy roll will simulcast this series.. TOG and GOH main producer is Crunchyroll but Solo Leveling anime adaptation producer is now Aniplex.
