Despite the awesome voice acting and high-quality animation, Season 1 of Solo Leveling was ultimately disappointing. This was mainly due to the rushed feeling caused by the abrupt scene changes in each episode.
In a recent interview with the Solo Leveling producer, more details about season 2 were disclosed, and to the surprise of fans, the revelations only served to increase their excitement.
Producer Discusses Potential for Season 2
Sally Amaki, known for her role as Kiriko in Overwatch, hosted the Aniplex After-Hour interview which featured Sota Furuhashi, the producer of MASHLE and Solo Leveling. As the focus of this article is Solo Leveling, we will only discuss the details he revealed about the anime and its upcoming second season.
Sota discussed his appreciation for the webtoon and the inspiration behind creating the anime adaptation. When asked about the production of season 2, Sota stated that the team is putting in a lot of effort and didn’t disclose many details about its progress.
What Can We Expect in Season 2 of Solo Leveling?
The first season of Solo Leveling primarily focused on the growth of Sung Jinwoo. The producer has since announced that the second season will carry on with the same storyline, but with a greater emphasis on the supporting characters and their past, providing viewers with a deeper understanding of the world of Solo Leveling.
If this turns out to be true, there could be more information revealed about Cha Hae-in, Hwang Dongsoo, Woo-Jinchul, and Yoo Jinho. However, the most intriguing possibility is the potential for further insight into Sung Jinwoo’s mother and her illness. As shown in Season 1, Sung became a hunter to finance her treatment and his sister’s education, and season 2 may delve deeper into this pivotal aspect of the storyline.
Despite everything, we cannot overlook the moment in episode 5 when he was forced to eliminate Hwang Dongsuk and his companions. As a result, we witnessed his younger brother’s intentions to come back to Japan from the U.S. with the purpose of avenging Sung’s actions.
Overall, the second season is expected to elevate the series to new heights, with improved animation and a focus on developing the side characters. This will enhance the overall storytelling of the plot. However, it remains uncertain how closely they will follow the source material from the manwha and if the second season will remain faithful to it.
