The Crunchyroll Industry Panel at Anime Expo announced on Sunday an anime adaptation of Chugong's Solo Leveling manhwa. The panel also revealed the main staff, teaser visual (pictured), and teaser promotional video. The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2023 on Crunchyroll.

Staff
Director: Shunsuke Nakashige (Megami-ryou no Ryoubo-kun., Sword Art Online: Alicization episode director)
Series Composition: Noboru Kimura (Kemono Jihen, Kyoukai Senki)
Character Design: Tomoko Sudou (Fragtime, Imawa no Kuni no Alice (OVA))
Music: Hiroyuki Sawano (86, Shingeki no Kyojin)
Studio: A-1 Pictures

Chugong began writing the action adventure series as a web novel on the Kakao website and was published by D&C Media from July 2016 to March 2018 in 14 volumes. A webtoon adaptation drawn by Sung-rak Jang began in Kakao in March 2018 and ended on December 29 last year.

Yen Press licensed the manhwa and web novel in English in August 2020 and shipped the fourth volume of the manhwa on May 10.

Synopsis
Ten years ago, "the Gate" appeared and connected the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. To combat these vile beasts, ordinary people received superhuman powers and became known as "Hunters." Twenty-year-old Sung Jin-Woo is one such Hunter, but he is known as the "World's Weakest," owing to his pathetic power compared to even a measly E-Rank. Still, he hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank Gates to pay for his mother's medical bills.

However, this miserable lifestyle changes when Jin-Woo—believing himself to be the only one left to die in a mission gone terribly wrong—awakens in a hospital three days later to find a mysterious screen floating in front of him. This "Quest Log" demands that Jin-Woo completes an unrealistic and intense training program, or face an appropriate penalty. Initially reluctant to comply because of the quest's rigor, Jin-Woo soon finds that it may just transform him into one of the world's most fearsome Hunters. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Hopefully isn't rushed like God of Highschool, but if Crunchyroll isn't involved, that's a good sign.

it actually got it. damn congrats. not rly my fav or anywhere near my top list but the manhwa art was phenomenal, i hope they can at least do that justice.

crunchyroll.... making me worried there but at least its got good staff list
This one isn't listed as Crunchyroll originals as the previous 3. I think Aniplex have the upper hand here. Hopefully this one turn out to be good and didn't get ruined by production committee.
ahh ok thats reassuring, thanks for the info!

I am sorry, there are only 3 or around that number unique ideas for any work, others copy them. I read about it somewhere.


Similar product or product that get inspiration from other game is a different topic. l talk about 100% rip off. Series that took the design of something and sell it in different name.

Oh, I misunderstood you then.

You Literally know nothing about Mahou Shoujo or mecha. But what do i expect for someone who literaly only watch hype thing (Base of your favorite list)

Did you ever heard the name Madoka Magica? Or what about Yuuki Yunna? Both series condesired Dark Mahou Shoujo Series. And also there is Series like Symphogear and Nanoha. Those are basically cobination of Sci-fi and Mahou Shoujo. If you think every mahou Shoujo is the same then you probably only see series like Sailor moon.

Original mecha was Gundam? Hell no. Did you ever heard the Name of Mazinger? or Getter Robo? What about Tetsujin?

You literally know nothing about this topic. You basically named all the mecha series that have a hype. Not mention all of those has way different thematics.

Also

"repetitively cringe": Dude you hase Dragon Ball Z in your favorite list. That was the most repetitive anime in the world along with Pokemon. Not mention the newer Dragon ball series is just a whole cringe.

" It’s girly, childish": I don't think that matter anything. Just because something is girly dosen't mean it bad. Same for kids shows. Sometime some of those kids show way more mature then a actually show that made for older viwers.


1 more: How can someone fetishizing a country? I just a guy who like japanese animation and games.


Uhh… you don’t have the right to judge anyone’s favorites lists. You’re extremely creepy and weird, and on top of that you’re trying to justify it. Should have known this argument was a waste of time, but the fact that creeps like you exist disgust me. Keep watching your same generic mahou shoujo lolita garbage while the good majority of fans actually enjoy some action.

Also your fetishes are pretty clear. Again, just look at your favorites. Also your old quotes can’t hide it either. You’re not mad that Solo Leveling is getting animated. You’re just mad that it’s “Korean” and not japanese. Talk about repetitive lmao. Had it been a manga instead of a manhwa you would be gargling it like there’s no tomorrow. Yet again I’m not so sure, considering your… um… alarming tastes. Can’t believe I met a 32 year old grown ass man talking shit on something like Dragon Ball while promoting madoka magic of all things💀 Are all hungarians creepy predators like you?


Watch my list kid. I have over 830+ completed anime. Pretty much watch every genres other then Ecchi-Harem-Isekai. Again you know nothing about those Genres. You call a whole Genres childish when your literaly act like a little kid without new argument. And you basically did a racist comment.

Something like Dragon ball? Why dragon ball is so special?. It's just a shounen. Not mention Shounens like Dragon ball is also for teens. But that dosen't matter. What is matter is everyone can like and enjoy any genres no matter who is the target audience.

i don't promoting Madoka. But Madoka actually more serious then Dargon Ball. Madoka is a Psychological drama.

Also even if Solo leveling was a manga i still don't care about it.

“Usually different” that is the most blank excuse you can make for the adaptation of Solo Leveling 😂😂

Literally all mahou shoujo animes are the same. The genre has been over-cliched since the 90s. The original mecha was Gundam, but by your logic Evangelion, macross, franxx, lagann, and geass are all “rip-offs”.

I haven’t even read Solo Leveling, but the main genre is power fantasy. Literally the only other manhwa based power fantasies are GoH and ToG.

Mahou shoujo genre isn't even good. It’s girly, childish, and repetitively cringe. But I don’t see you complaining about it because it seems to be your favorite (kinda creepy).

You’re not mad that Solo Leveling is getting an adaptation. You’re mad because it’s “Korean” and not “japanese” lol. I understand if you like anime and manga, but you should really know your limits when you start fetishizing a foreign country. It’s really gross to look at.
