Sota Furuhashi reveals plans for expanded second season of Solo Leveling
Crunchyroll recently interviewed Sota Furuhashi about his involvement in two series over the past year or so: Mashle: Magic and Muscles and Solo Leveling.
During a conversation on Aniplex After Hours, Furuhashi discussed his recent projects with Japanese idol and voice actor Sally Amaki. He also mentioned the immense support that the anime Solo Leveling has received from both domestic and international audiences.
Furuhashi elaborated on Solo Leveling season 2, stating:
“This time we’ll also turn the spotlight on the supporting characters and fill in the story a bit more as we wrap things up, so you’ll get a more 360-degree look at the world of Solo Leveling in Season 2.”
Furuhashi recognized that the first season primarily centered on Sung Jinwoo’s growth as a character. As Solo Leveling season 2 progresses, this trend will continue, but with a greater emphasis on the other characters. This shift will provide viewers with a deeper understanding of the Solo Leveling world.
Chugong’s series features an exceptional supporting cast, including familiar names such as Cha Hae-in, Yoo Jinho, Choi Jong-in, Baek Yoonho, and others that viewers can expect to see more of.
During the interview, Furuhashi and Amaki discussed the anime’s highly praised action sequences. Furuhashi specifically mentioned their attention to detail in showcasing the development of Jinwoo’s skills as he became stronger and leveled up.
“While you’ll have to wait some time for the second season to come out, I hope you’ll all keep that strong support coming while we work hard to make an even higher quality Season 2 together with the studio,” he finished.
Concluding Thoughts
The second season of Solo Leveling has effectively generated the anticipated excitement. The initial season demonstrated the impressive capabilities of A-1 Pictures. The anime’s triumph and the immense support from fans attest to their dedication and efforts.
The producer’s words are full of promise, and based on the studio’s handling of season 1, it is certain that season 2 will be even better. Additionally, the inclusion of several anime-original scenes in the first season enhanced the story’s credibility and added more depth.
Upon his revelation, it becomes clear that delving deeper into the supporting characters will greatly enhance the Solo Leveling experience.
