Solo Leveling Anime Trailer, Plot & Other Details
The first teaser trailer of the show has been released along with the announcement. Check out the teaser below.
The official comic synposis for Solo Leveling is as follows.
“Known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung’s contribution to raids amounts to trying not to get killed. Unfortunately, between his mother’s hospital bills, his sister’s tuition, and his own lack of job prospects, he has no choice but to continue to put his life on the line. So when an opportunity arises for a bigger payout, he takes it…only to come face-to-face with a being whose power outranks anything he’s ever seen! With the party leader missing an arm and the only healer a quivering mess, can Jinwoo somehow find them a way out?”
Contrary to other Mangas from Japan which were adapted as Animes, Solo Leveling series originally started in South Korea, as a web-comic created by Chugong. The creator has expressed his excitement over the announcement. He shared the following message to fans.
“About six years ago when I was writing the very beginning of Solo Leveling, if someone had said to me, “The novel you wrote will become a comic,” I bet I’d have told them to stop pulling my leg. But now, I’m told that it’ll be animated?! Seriously, stop pulling my leg!… But these days, I’m feeling excited and thrilled. Since I’m still half-doubting that this is real, I want to see Jinwoo and the other characters get animated soon and feel relieved. I’ll keep working diligently while looking forward to that day. (lol)”
Shunsuke Nakashige is announced as the director for the project while series composition is going to be done by Noburu Kimura (Mai-HiME), character design by Tomoko Sudo (The Seven Deadly Sins) and music will be composed by Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan). The voice cast hasn’t been announced yet.
A-Pictures is a Tokyo-based animation studio which has previously animated some of the Animes like Black Butler, Blue Exorcist, Sword Art Online, The Seven Deadly Sins, Kaguya-sama: Love is War and 86 Eighty-Six.
