My question in general is for the people who were trash talking A-1 pictures when its anime was announced, I saw people saying its better to not get anime than being animated by A-1 and I even saw a guy saying I hope director die so other studio will takeover animation, so what's your take after episode 2, do you like it or you still think another studio should have made it, for me this episode was an absolute banger.

A-1 is a really good studio, look what they do for Eighty Six, SAO or Grimgar.

I think there aren't many people complaining about A-1 because of the animations. Most of the times it stands for very good animations. But I guess there are people not liking A-1 just because it's part of Sony.

People hate anything that is part of Soyny.

So with A-1 Picture being owned by woke sjws, I'm not shocked that people hate on them.

Nah man, ain't no way people trash talk A-1 Pictures. It's a very good studio. They did animate of 86, Kaguya-sama: Love is a War, Sword Art Online, Erased, Your Lie in April, Blue Exorcist, Seven Deadly Sins, Darling in the FranXX, Anohana, Black Butler, Magi, Fairy Tail, Lycoris Recoil and many more. I had high expectations of the anime adaptation of Solo Leveling to be honest.

A1 is a top tier animation studio.

Mappa, WIT, A1, bones, Madhouse are in my top tier list. (and perhaps ufotable)

Any other top tier animation studio I am missing?
Cloverworks is also good but somehow they completely messed up neverland and small part of shadow house

@Aryan-0_0 Even Mappa gets hate. When it was announced AOT will be made by Mappa, Mappa was getting a lot of hate on social media. But the season they made was rated 9+. It was still getting hate for its animation on reddit (I found the animation to be epic just like WIT). So you see the ones who were hating on it were a minority, no way it would be rated 9+ otherwise.

@shubh_jain_2 fair enough
Btw i think its been long enough that cloverworks should be forgiven for tpn. They have made bangers after bangers since that. Especially recently with bocchi and mdud and other things

Fantastic.

A-1 is a studio that has improved so much over the years. Every year, their animation level keeps on Increasing.

During lockdown it was SAO WoU with a Ufotable level animation, then 86 which was fabulous and now Solo Leveling is just BEAUTIFUL.

Justice ⚖️ to all the manga panels.
Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO.

Deserved better? It’s a miracle it got even an adaptation and by a top tier studio, not just a mediocre season that promotes the manhwa as it was for God of Highschool by butchering half of the story. Stop nitpicking and appreciate the adaptation.

yea, unfortunately manhwa adaptation doesn't have a shiny resume, but solo leveling is sooo hyped by the community. I god damn wished it had some jjk animation level

No hate, but sometimes the animation looks like it's a generic isekai produced by some generic studio. However, I respect the opinions of those who enjoy it.

A1 isn't a studio like MAPPA or Ufotable, it uses mostly freelance animators for all its works , and thats also one of the reasons that one of Hakuyu Go's best episodes were under A1's banner( from fate/Apocrypha). Shun Enokido is directing Fate/SF CURRENTLY under A-1 studio, and that project is highly likely to get some Miso/Hakuyu Go goodness.

Their connections throughout the industry is top tier, and if they are capable of pulling off some incredible stuff sometimes, although their consistency is questionable (86, Fate/SF Special, YLIA, Darling in the Franxx, the list gets even better if cloverworks anime are counted under A1)

So yeah A-1 was never a bad choice, nowhere close to it, but whether they'll put their all into the production is something we have to wait and watch. Shun Enokido currently working with A-1 gives me hope that we'll get at least a couple of episodes like JJK 13 or 16.

Dude the first two episodes were already pretty good, the opening is comparable to One Piece's new opening (visually) and it's not even had any main fights yet. From the OP it looks like they have some good shit stacked up. Wait and watch A-1 doing a phenomenal adaptation.

@CreepHazard Yeah, opening is nice and all, but it was made by some korean studio, not by A-1. I wouldn't keep expectations high for incoming fights, cuz doubt they'll look as good as in opening.

A-1 Pictures is an awesome studio and did an amazing job so far, it's just that they aren't famous for animation quality like ufotable or mappa are. I'm sure they're gonna best themselves with Solo Leveling and I believe their chances to become one of the best of the best in terms of animation are pretty good since there probably isn't a better source to display animation than Solo Leveling.

It was obvious from the first trailer that the animation is not going to be the strong point of this anime. Which is a shame since that is one of the better things about webtoon itself. The quality of the panels. That isn't to say that the animation is bad, far from it. But it is not great either. The anime deserved UFOTABLE level of quality, in my opinion.

Well that's basically Outsourcing, and it's still the effort of A-1. They're doing it justice so far

I still think it’s not as good as the manhwa visually. It’s the other aspects that are pulling the animation up. That said it did surpass my expectations coming into it. I’m happy to say it’s a good adaptation. Ofc I still think a lot of studios could do it better

I just want them to adapt 60-70% of manhwa quality and it's good. I am not expecting them to be like 100%. Also if they even adapt the way they did the opening then too this show would be amazing with the fights coming in future. So far I like the animation and it's getting the job done but Anyway I am still keeping my expectation low so I won't be disappointed.

After season 1 real verdict will be out.
2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year.

Well if it was like that , I'm damn sure they were lockdown kids who knows nothing about anime. I mean come on, this studio has literally made Sao which was the most important reason for the rise of the isekai genre and Sao became famous because of it's animations , bgm and op-ed . A1 pictures has practically ruled anime world in terma of animation from 2013-2018 because of SAO , 86, Your lie in april ,etc . I'm damn sure these guys must have not known whatever they're talking .

Episode 2 was incredible. The way camera was moving in some scenes with the statue, it shows the effort that was put in. Also the animation in op is literally god tier. But the thing is even if animation was mid, the way some of these so called 'fans' talk about animation studios and staff is absolutely unacceptable.

@Arrow02 "Nothing too impressive". "Deserved better". If these are the words the staff has to here after those incredible 2 episodes, specially from people who have no technical knowledge about animation, it would have been better if there was no anime at all.

If these episodes were "incredible", you have a pretty low bar. So far this is generic power fantasy that's edgy for the sake of being edgy. Incredibly mid.

This IP has a massively popular manhua that is world renowned and loved by pretty much everyone in the Manga/Anime community (minus the always hating on everything cuz why not) this anime will have the eyes of everyone on it, and the bar of expectations is very high considering the source material is finished and the fans need to experience the story in anime format, A-1 Pictures has to rise up to the hype and reap the rewards, and they know same as any major animation studio that IPs like these can't be given mediocre quality or half-assed work done into it, this is the golden ticket, they either cease this moment and make smth great and remembered forever, or ruin it and destroy their reputation and the IP's adaptation along with it.

@Anayan_Kashyap For SAO wou some of the Ufotable staff did work with A-1. You can see it in end credits. That season had great fights they were treat for eyes. My favourite sao season so far.
