Crunchyroll, in collaboration with Aniplex, has announced the debut of the long-awaited anime adaptation of the Korean manhwa sensation, Solo Leveling. The anime will premiere globally on Crunchyroll on January 6, 2024.
The Solo Leveling anime series is adapted from the best selling Korean web novel written by Chugong. It was later adapted into a webtoon and manhwa in 2018, with illustrations by DUBU.
Over a decade has passed since a pathway called a “gate,” which connects this world and another dimension, suddenly appeared. People with superhuman powers called “hunters” have been awakened. Hunters use their superhuman powers to conquer dungeons inside the gates to make a living. Sung Jinwoo, a hunter of the lowest rank, is considered the Weakest Hunter. One day, he encounters a double dungeon, a high-level dungeon hidden inside of a low-level one. In front of a severely wounded Jinwoo, a mysterious quest window pops up. On the verge of death, Jinwoo decides to take on the quest, which makes him the only person who can level up.
Solo Leveling is animated by acclaimed A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online), with motion graphics by Production I.G (Attack on Titan). The series is directed by Shunsuke Nakashige (Sword Art Online). Additional staff credits include music by Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan) and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (K-pop band), character design by Tomoko Sudo, and monster design by Hirotaka Tokuda.
Asa Suehira, Chief Content Officer at Crunchyroll, expressed excitement about the project, stating:
“At Crunchyroll, we are always looking for innovative ways to connect our audience with captivating stories from around the world. Solo Leveling is a groundbreaking series that has captured the imagination of fans globally, and we are thrilled to be part of the journey to bring this extraordinary manhwa to life as an anime.
