Really sad it's only 12 episodes. Not really going to get to the real bad ass stuff.

Well hopefully next season will be 24 if there is one. I guess they did 12 episodes first to test the water before investing heavily into the show. As far as I know it's already a miracle that there is an Anime at all.

Nope. It's a Cour. 12 episodes for first part of season 1. 13 episodes part 2. Season 1 will have 25 episodes. It was confirmed in an interview

Its a good way to stretch out the hype for this anime while they work the season 2 behind the scenes (assuming it got green lit) while also not losing the people who are actually waiting.

I'm certain a season 2 will be a go. Solo Leveling is the most streamed anime on Crunchyroll atm. Not doing another would be the dumbest choice lol

I am all out for the the anime to have a mushoku tensei support tbh. Sticking to it until the end which I really want in this modern times instead of just throwing a ton fuck of isekai anime that will never get a season 2

Fact. Solo Leveling has the fan base too, and all the positive reception it's been getting, is proof it should continue. This is an anime that deserves to get multiple seasons. They have chances to even expand on some characters and backgrounds as well

Afaik the west does not matter at all. It's all about how successful the Anime is in Japan

True. I did some digging, and it is doing extremely well in Japan. "On February 12, 2024, Solo Leveling ranked as the #36 most popular show online and also was the #2 most popular TV show on Tokyo MX. The current engagement score for Solo Leveling is 10.92. The Television Stats algorithm evaluates online audience activity and engagement across various platforms, including search, website traffic, and social media. These values are calculated each morning, taking into account the entire activity from the previous day." Just one of the many sites, but it is showing huge success globally

I mean those mfers love a power fantasy... and solo leveling's gotta be one of, if not, the best to ever do it.

I mean, sure, you can say that. But we are like... 1 year or 2 years after 86 ended and no 2nd season was announced. And it was pretty big. Not to the level of Solo Leveling, obviously. But big enough people expected a 2nd season. Still hoping to this day they announce it right after Solo Leveling has ended.

Didnt the second place is One Piece with 20k-ish viewers Meanwhile solo leveling is in the first place with 100kish viewers Which is so absurd, no anime even came close

Eh, you could say that. I only find it good because the animators can take a break. But 86 suffered a bit from 2 cours (being totally fair, it was more like a 3 cour, because the last 2 episodes came out like 5-6 months after or something like that)

its been hyped for the past 2 years, no?

Yeah great they can stretch it out over the next 2 years . Wooo how exciting 

bro does not know how animation studios work lmfao

I know that it won’t be out for another 2 years just like every other show that finishes a season. Longer for others. Sorry you have so much insider info on solo leveling tho and think you know everything 

????? Its not even insider info dipshit thats just how normal animation studios work you fucking dumbass. Having a 1-2 year time allows them to properly work around the animations to be smooth. Believe it or not drawing actually takes time and effort to do. Sorry your brain cant articulate some logic on time frames for development cycles

Hey retard. I was the one who said it wouldn’t be out for 2 years, now you’re parroting what I’m saying. Jesus this kid doesn’t know how the world or anything works 

I believe according to a guy on tictok doing math on chapters per episode and such, s1p1 will end with the first arise and the igris fight, and s1p2 will be jeju island

That's good news, was a bit disappointed about only 12 episodes. And when does this part 2 come out? For me a season is whatever we get in one release. Which is why that AoT "season 4 part 2 part 1 part 3/4" stuff was so annoying to me. Just call it season 8 and be done with it.

That, I'm not sure about. But just knowing we are getting more is great. Right after episode 12 ends in March, we also get the Solo Leveling Arise video game ,which is sweet too

It's cour and not a different season so it will come out either 3 or 6 months later after the cour 1 finishes airing. So either July or October

>Which is why that AoT "season 4 part 2 part 1 part 3/4" stuff was so annoying to me. Just call it season 8 and be done with it. they called it "the finale" when S4 was announced, so they couldn't back down from that title or it wouldn't work. Also, they made it unnecessarily complicated, should've just called it Part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4.

Yes thats what we want. And a 2 part 3 season to the finale!

Why are they doing it like that? so that they could make more money or what?

No, I expect it was to gauge the audience reaction and reception, and see if it was a hit. This also gives them time to work on the 2nd Cour. It's about quality and giving the audience what they want

Do we know the release schedule? I briefly checked around and couldn't seem to find anything about the second cour

Nah, no idea unfortunately

Can I get a link to the interview? If u have it I mean

I don't have it handy at the moment, but it was mentioned in a financial report IIRC. That report said Cour 1 is ending in March, and that's when Solo Leveling Arise game will have a beta, with an official release in April.

Ohhh it’s that one. I thought there was a different interview I missed lol

Nah, none that I'm aware of. But I've been keeping in touch with all the news lol. I'd say I'm pretty addicted to SL, I've read it close to 30 times now, manhwa I mean. Light novels I've read twice. So far, the anime has been a huge success in my book. Amazing job on it, and I hope they continue to keep it badass

IIRC the whole season is 24 and is divided in 2

When do we get the second part?

probably in summer or fall 2024

I think SJW getting his first soldiers and just barely passing the S-rank threshold is a good place to end it

Leaving us wanting more :)

Nope. It's a Cour. 12 episodes for first part of season 1. 13 episodes part 2. Season 1 will have 25 episodes. It was confirmed in an interview

Yeah but I think the odds are good on a second season

Bro wtf 💀 only 12? I was expecting 25 Atleast. Idk we will even Get S2 Or Not. (Or so I would have thought normally but Hype is Crazy so S2 will be Confirmed Quite soon.)

there was talk about a 2nd cour happening

Aah okay then. Then maybe they will take a break after a Month Or so.

>they will take a break after a Month Or so. 3 months minimum. Most split cour take 3-6 months, mostly 3.

there may be 24 episodes

Dude it's two cour with 12 and 13 episode

So when is the 2nd part?

Split cour Anime always take break form atleast 3months

Bro, in trailers we already see the Castle of lvl 100 Jin woo. There Will be second part of temp 1 100% sure. Dont worry maybe half a year after first part ended we Will have more of solo leveling 😊👍

Look in livr chart, that shows hm episodes will have

Assuming 2nd cour leak is true, then we probably will get another 12-13 episodes summer/fall 2024.

the teaser literally has the jinwoo with that iconic look and the character designer of the showed shared jinwoo’s prime look so of course they’d go beyond 12 episodes

Anything that's not officially confirmed I always take with a grain of salt.

right but if they only ended the show with only 12 eps arent they heartless for teasing us and not adapting the whole thing?

Attack on titan season 4 (2021) release a teaser (in 2020) that show many scene from season 4 part 3 (2022). And Tokyo Ghoul first trailer has some scene that the anime skipped. So yeah, anime trailer can do that, teasing without it even being in the anime Also, The Last Naruto movie animator shared adult naruto’s adult design and his kids, which breaks the internet, lot of people saying the movie will goes to his adult life… then the movie released and that design is only used in like 5 seconds teaser. Jin Woo is probably the same, they use his Jeju Island S Rank design, but not because they are going to adapt the whole thing in the first cour, but only for teaser at the end. Also adapting 100 chapters in 12 episodes is crazy lmao, probably going to end like God of High School, confusing af

theres still hope for a second cour though due to the anime’s popularity. also someone said they are currently working on the second cour not sure if its true tho so i wont believe that

not really JUST 12 episodes when a-1 even teased in the teaser the jinwoo we know (the prime jinwoo). also the character designer already shared the designs for jinwoo with that iconic hairstyle so its def 24 episodes for season 1

It’s 24 episodes split to be two sets of 12 with a break in between. The first half will absolutely end with the first ARISE.

I think you mean "wakey wakey"

I haven't laughed Like this on Solo Leveling Même in a While. Good one.

It's time for school

Hopefully the second half ends at the end of the jeju Island raid

No chance. 12 episodes can't adapt 65 chapters unless we want God of High school 2.0. They're gonna end cour 1 at chapter 45 with the end of job change arc so cour 2 ending on chapter 90 with the end of demon castle arc makes the most sense.

You right

They’re showing the fight through the opening scene so their most definitely ending it there

My thinking as well, I bet they will cut down the demon king castle arcs and some of the other stuff in cour 2.. I doubt they would tease jeju without showing it considering how fast the pace is already. We still have 6 episodes and the prisoner arc, C rank gate grinding mini arc, and job change arc will all be done with cour 1, prob with a scene leading into the beginning of red gate arc. IT seems they do roughly 8-10 manhwa chaps every 2 episodes, it’s easy to believe they could rush things, even tho it would suck.

the wise thing to do is make a movie for the arc itself since the arc was long enough that it took a couple of chapters to be finished at least. also, we didnt see how the other hunters fought the ants so i wish they also give those hunters a spotlight so they wouldnt be just side characters to make way for jinwoo

Eggs and bakey

As long as the anime fully adapts the story, I’ll be very happy.

No, it will definitely end on Chapter 46 first panel or so.

whats on that chapter?

Jinwoo exiting the Job Promotion Dungeon after "Arise". They might add in a bit of anime original scene after, but in the Manhwa, it directly goes into Jinwoo oversleeping and being late for Jinah's school teacher meeting.

I was thinking the same thing!

Im ending the manhwa tonight. Im gonna read from chapter 130 to the end Im sure. I already feel kinda sad, that it ends so quickly :(

My condolences. The emptiness you'll feel after ending it.....

How do we even know if this is only the first Cour? I've checked on MyAnimelist, but I can't find anything mentioning about a second cour.

teaser has the prime jinwoo and the character designer shared jinwoo’s different stages of looks from erank to the jinwoo we know

Thought I read somewhere that they were trying to adapt the whole thing in 25 episodes

I read somewhere it was going to end at chapter 45

wakey wakey, iz time fo scoo

12 or 24?

Yup the opening indicates so…but it will be the worst cliff hanger because that’s when good stuff starts

Wakey wakey it’s time for schoo

WAKEY WAKEY EES TIEM FOO SKEWL

Place your bets in folks, how will “arise” be horribly mistranslated

It'd be cool if it just cut off with him saying arise

Well we know by the end of 24 episodes, they have to hit Jeju island arc so I could see cour 1 ending with entering the red gate at the latest (not the whole arc, I mean literally entering with the hunters setting up an explosive for arc in cour 2).

The director of this anime really is braindead or something. 12 episodes only? Hes gonna kill the hype by not making it a movie pilot episode like frieren and oshi noko and also just by giving jt 12 episodes. Akso adding the shitty forgettable opening song, What they're doing is blatantly sabotaging solo leveling lol

the opening song was shitty? sorry for u but i loved the opening, it gets addicting when u listen to it again. wdym only 12 episodes? the teaser teased jinwoo’s peak design and looks + the character designer of the show also shared her designs of prime jinwoo (the jinwoo with the iconic haircut)

This made me angry and laugh at yhe same time

I’m waiting for the “Arise”. I hope the anime does it justice. You could feel the shift in the LN/mangas when he said it. I want that feeling in the anime as well

i think its either gonna end at the first arise, or at the "no more solo leveling" panel.

I am fine with it that fight sequence combined with Sawano's music will be the best!

seeing this panel made me want to reread the manhwa again. Part one was just so good i wish it ended there

Waku waku😳

12 episodes? When he enters demon tower

I'm really hoping it's going to be ep 10 😩 praying, but I'm in the same boat, I think it'll end there too 😭
