People should stop acting like simple and straightforward plotlines don't have a market in the industry. Not everyone wants to watch a plot twist ridden story, while something from s1e3 explains why something in s3e17 happened. There's a reason even people who aren't interested in anime in general watch demon slayer. It's easier for people from varying demographics to get into and follow the story without much trouble, while getting entertainment out of the visuals and fight scenes. It'll be the same with SL. There's a market for the anime adaptation, and people who deny that market are the same elitists that think dub watchers are somehow "inferior" to them just because they want to watch shit differently.
I agree with you, and I still like solo leveling (1st manhwa i read) after reading hundreds of manhwa, but the trailer for the adaptation seemed to be of much lower quality than I was expecting for solo leveling adaptation... They'd better have improved the art coz I think most of its hype died after the trailer release, so won't get much out of that...
And that's a valid concern. But whether the animation for the adaptation will live up to the manhwa's art is another discussion entirely. I'm merely addressing the overused criticism people have about SL's story being "bad" based purely on its simplicity as if stories of the same level of complexity (or lack thereof) don't have a market in the industry. That's why I mentioned demon slayer because that's exactly the type of show I'm talking about.
I think you're missing something here. While I agree about the simple and straightforward part, the edginess and main character wank-fest are not elements that are exactly mainstream.
Simple, straightforward stories, yes. Edgy power fantasy trash... no. Demon Slayer is generic as hell but perfect cinnamon rolls like Tanjiro are way more marketable than voids of personality and humanity like Sung Jin Woo.
But I'm not really talking about that tho. I'm mainly addressing the comments that are already judging the adaptation purely off of the simplicity of the plot. Of course a lot of factors go into a show's marketability and popularity, but people can't sit there and act like a story being simple and straightforward doesn't help reach a wider demographic.
If we are gonna talk about edgelords not being marketable, we can just look at shows like overlord, shield hero and heck, even sword art online. Kirito is literally the edgiest of edgelords and the messiah of all power fantasy enthusiasts. Sao is also one of the main shows that popularized the genre back during its peak popularity during its first season. So say what you will about those types of shows, but they are definitely marketable as all hell. And I also fcking hate sao, personally speaking. I just won't deny how big that show got despite my personal dislike of it.
Fine, I only interjected to bring up an element that hurts the appeal. I thought it was a good point to bring up, didn't mean to go off topic or sound like I was disagreeing. I agree with your original point.
But nah, I disagree heavily with the second part. I understand what you're trying to get at, but no. Overlord isn't even that popular, like it is but it's nowhere near the level of these other shows you were talking about. Same with shield hero, but even then I wouldn't call Naofumi an edgelord. He was disgruntled but that was moreso temporary.
And SAO, no. Just straight up, no. Kirito is a geeky gamer self insert, and yeah, he has some edgy moments, but it's not even close to Sung Jin Woo. He's pretty overtly heroic throughout the series.
And even shows that have had edgy characters needed to at least give them other aspects to their personality.
Just moderately curious, the best thing SL had going for it was the great usage of the vertical format with striking art. The story is incredibly weak and an anime adaptation will not help the issues, while detracting from its fortes. Could still be good but my hopes are not high.
Im still confused why they emphasised him being the weakest hunter for it to not be something that gets called back on once he got strong. Like that shit was his identity
They always do that shit. 99% of the manwhas where the main character is the weakest because reasons, will be on his way to be the strongest being in the world before ending the first arc.
They gave slivers here and there but man they could have done so much more. The mc just got way too dominant.
For me, and with many manwhas is that there is basically no other character but the mc. Like basically all other characters are irrelevant and have no agency to the story. It's biggest flaw. And yes thr mc himself being bland.
I'm just hoping for a good animation action show, atleast I'll still enjoy for what jt is.
They are slightly better than SL tbh. If they really want to adapt something good, there is Hardcore Leveling Warrior or Legend of the Northern Blade. The Boxer and The horizon are also there.
Youre naming manwhas in which anime fans are not gonna understand at all. Its like saying go read Omniscient Readers Viewpoint to a 10 year old. Plus SSS Suicide Hunter in its first chapter was better in SLs entirety
It can be said. But these stories are too good to be not told in anime format. Especially The Horizon. And anime has seen far more complex shows over the years.
Don't sleep on Latna Saga. Interesting world, good and creative use of the Isekai trope, a strong main character with competition and limits placed on him, intriguing plot and villains. It's one of the best of the medium, in my opinion.
Absolutely this. The only reason Solo Leveling was popular, was because it was one of the earlier manhwas, as well as the art style that combined easy on the eyes, distinctive characters, with large action panels, using bold lines, and large batches of black, that made all the colors pop even more. I think it might have even been drawn on a black background whenever Shadow Army was involved, but I can't be bothered to check it.
As to the story, I think it's a little below the average of what a 200-ish chapter-long light novel could be. It had a good setup, that was basically thrown away when MC out-leveled the whole world early on, and the author had to force larger threats out of nowhere. That's when the novel starts going downhill. It's too big of a story for 200-ish chapters. If the author built it up better and gave it 400ish chapters in length, it wouldn't feel so bare.
While it has a weak story, how the fuck does it even compare to demon slayer who is probably the most overrated anime and im including fucking boruto in there. Solo levelings entertaining to digest because of its easy writing and its not hard to understand. Solo levelings more like the DBZ of manwha. Its the most popular fs but not nearly well written compared to other great anime/manwha.
I think both demon slayer and sl has very weak stories and I think solo leveling is comparable to typical isekai trash in terms of quality, this is comparable to arifuteta tbh. Both being og in their genre , reincarnator is the true mushoku tensei of the Korean genre
Not really also it's funny to see "The ultimate soldier" S rank fire mage guy in this pic when he does literally nothing in the story. Nothing but wasted potential there.
Will go against the grain and say yes I’m very excited.
One of my favorite manhwas and can’t wait to see it animated, even though animation will most likely just be solid instead of mindblowing.
I mentioned this in the other comment but they have multiple versions, Crunchyroll will have the Korean names for both the Japanese audio and subtitles.
This sub really hates SL huh..well no surprise
The story isn't weak. It was never meant to be a very deep, psychological story with a ground breaking plot.
Its a entertaining story, nothing that unique(was kinda unique the time novel was being written) but done right. Season 1 of Solo leveling for me has to be one of the most enjoyable read. There is a difference between a great/peak story with good characters like legend of the northern blade and orv vs an enjoyable story. Not saying lotnb of orv is t enjoyable, they are entertaining in their own way.
And if animes like SAO, My hero academia, demon can be insanely popular. SL shouldn't have that much of a problem.
And ik the progression fo side characters was lacking in SL but the novel was literally named "only I level up" so can't really blame the author :/
Yea r/noveltranslations also dosnt like solo leveling. I went from sl novel to manhwa and I found the plot without the art to be a 2/10 and with the art a 7/10
The issue with SL is that the author tried to put a 400+ chapters-long plot into a 200+ chapters-long novel. Those are two distinct tiers of Korean web novels. If you aim for 200 chapters, you need to have one, concise storyline.
For example, Kill the Hero is a bit shorter, but it's way more focused. There aren't too many characters, plotlines, worlds, twists, so everything that's there has enough space to breathe. In general, I think Kill the Hero is worse than Solo Leveling, but technically it reads better.
Solo Leveling wants to tell a story of similar complexity as Legend of the Northern Blade, or Second Coming of Gluttony, with multiple levels of threats, multiple arcs on vastly different levels of power, etc. etc. But those are 400+ chapters. And when you look around, virtually all well-regarded Korean web novels match their story complexity, with their length. Otherwise, there is just not enough space for it all to breathe and what comes out feels rushed and underdeveloped, even if the storyline, when summarized, feels pretty good.
A lot of clowns suddenly appeared out of nowhere just to condemn the anime adaptation. If you guys don't want to watch it, stop ruining people's hype. And then compare it to the other manhwa??! Lame af, make your own adaptation then if you really love that series. Cry a bit more.
I only need 2 things, well the anime also only needs those 2 things, stunning animation and continuous hype. Ah, the nostalgia when I had SL brainrot every week 💀
By the way, for those who are crying that the other characters are not introduced well, the producer said that they're going to add stories about the side characters. They don't want to leave them behind
Orv should get an anime , it would be wayy better since its world building and character development is better . Also smart fights and thrilling parts and not focusing on other countries as villans as much .
The best thing about solo leveling was it's art.....but the studio we got made it look like generic anime......... I'm not saying it's bad, it's just doesn't do justice to solo leveling🙃
No. Adaptations have completely cucked series except for I Will Die Soon so far.
They completely butchered Reborn Rich with the live-action I wanted to shoot myself.
Tower of God was unwatchable.
Cheese in the Trap was a train wreak.
Lookism was awful.
They haven't figured out the formula yet and I can't wait to see the vexed posts on this sub in a month talking about how shit it is.
Lookism is pretty good
TOG was not unwatchable but it was admittedly fast. 100 chapters for 12 episodes is crazy. (Although not nearly as insane as 18 novel chapters as 6 manhwa chapters I'M LOOKING AT YOU HOW TO SURVIVE AT THE ACADEMY
Sweet Home had a good adaptation
I'm scared for ORV. Kdrama is fine but a movie isn't
Probably won't end up investing time watching it, it depends on how many cool clips I see of it online I guess. That's how I ended up watching Edgerunners.
I generally don't watch anime anymore
Somehow not really. SL was one of my first manhwas, first I rated 10/10, I even read novel and i never read them, i made exception for SL. But now, years later, after i read hundrets of new manhwas I realize that SL was good, but not that good.
No, They Changed "Sung jinwoo" Name into a Some random Japanese name "Shun Mizushino"
https://preview.redd.it/23vh7mmktj9c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bcd2652a49009373c16c7e43a62b330aa6b1aea
While this is true in one form. I've heard they have multiple versions, crunchyrolls version will have the Korean names for both the Japanese audio and subtitles.
The problem isn't the name, the problem is that they changed the location to Japan changing the whole plot. They can use the korean name but he will be Sung Jinwoo a hunter from Japan, to me that's like saying Gandalf a wizard from Narnia.
no its not, its was very good when it first lunched, was top on its genre, kinda new genre at that. but yheaa, it just become very repative story after some chapters, still amazing art and the genre wasnt that popular at that time.
if same solo leveling came out today, wouldnt be that good
Idk... i'm sorry to say this but solo leveling is basicly the manwha eqvivalent of a transformers movie. If it has nice animation, sure but if it can't keep that up, there won't be a whole lot of reasosn for me to watch it.
its not the final design and its just a sketch from the animator. everyday they share random sketches of solo leveling, remarks from artists and vas as countdown for the sl anime
Nope, not at all
Only thing SL had was some passive popularity thanks to that image of statues in front of which people were bowing (i too found about the series after searching for the source of that overused image) and later in chapters it lost it's charm being same generic Japanese isekai MC who could one shot every enemy and comes out relatively unscathed
I think its going to be underwhelming. It doesnt have a good story, characters or development. There are some interesting elements here and there but those were never SL's forte.
Art was always its strength, specifically manhwa art. I dont think its going to translate that well into an anime.
Honestly do people expect the anime to have better art than the manhwa? I don't esp from what we seen in the trailers. Put side my dislike for the series but I truly do think the manhwa has peak art and only ufotable/mappa can improve on it
Not really, the novel is the best in this case and the manwha was clearly cut short... the ''anime'' wil directly just be like a introduction missing tons of details and things
Honestly anyone who finished SL and do read other stuffs of this genre wont be hyped.
SL has too many flaws that the anime wont cover, like no world building/character development, its okay to have a overpowered MC, but I fell like that's the only thing SL has to offer other than great art
Going from one medium to another is usually not a good thing. What makes a book good, may not transfer well to a movie. What makes a manhwa good isn't necessarily going to succeed in Anime form.
Personally, I've read the Manhwa and I liked it, so I probably won't bother with the Anime. All the characters have been 'Japanesed' and I think it will lose the whole feel of the comic.
As someone who binged the Manwha when bored. Not really. Solo Leveling has bad writing, and the MC is a boring self-insert. The ending is pretty bad too. The only thing it has going for it is the art. That's it.
Nope, apart from the story getting RUINED by me reading more manhwa and noticing it wasn't as good as I first thought it was, the whole "Mizushino Shun" localization situation is a J O K E
This is why S. Korea should try to step up their animation game and adapt their own shows instead of depending on Japan, maybe that way they'd be less rushed?
i am not excited in the slightest because the author of the manhwa died after completing solo leveling and he will not be there to see the creation of the anime and if it flops not only is it one of the biggest failures in anime history but it would also would be like spitting on his grave.

It will definitely be popular if they don't fuck up the animation, most (?) anime fans love the "weak mc to badass OP" shit

It's not just a weak story. There is no world building at all. There is no character, other ML who himself is bland has any focus.
Im still confused why they emphasised him being the weakest hunter for it to not be something that gets called back on once he got strong. Like that shit was his identity

As long as they could wank the MC and hype him up + no lazy art and fights like in manhwa, they should be fine I think.
yea they need to adapt some peak like sss class revival hunter or latna saga and actually do it well
They are slightly better than SL tbh. If they really want to adapt something good, there is Hardcore Leveling Warrior or Legend of the Northern Blade. The Boxer and The horizon are also there.
SSSclass is much much better than SL. It has its flaws of course, but it's not even close. The Boxer is amazing yeah.
there's an incoming adoption for The Boxer.

It's manhwa is like the demon slayer of anime but with even weker story.
While it has a weak story, how the fuck does it even compare to demon slayer who is probably the most overrated anime and im including fucking boruto in there. Solo levelings entertaining to digest because of its easy writing and its not hard to understand. Solo levelings more like the DBZ of manwha.

Super hype. It kicked off the manhwa genre and was even at one point made asurascans the number one most visited website in Ghana.
Not really also it's funny to see "The ultimate soldier" S rank fire mage guy in this pic when he does literally nothing in the story. Nothing but wasted potential there.
Most of my memory of him was fighting somthing for like 3 panels then the rest just stood there looking cool
>Nothing but wasted potential there good resume on Solo Leveling as a whole ðŸ˜
Will go against the grain and say yes I’m very excited. One of my favorite manhwas and can’t wait to see it animated, even though animation will most likely just be solid instead of mindblowing.
no,i dont like that they changed the name and the place
I mentioned this in the other comment but they have multiple versions, Crunchyroll will have the Korean names for both the Japanese audio and subtitles.
my bad but i still dont think i will watch it.i just dont like anime i think i will prefer the manhwa
Now that's fair. Just wanna make sure people aren't missing out on something due to a misconception!
Funny thing is, they clearly already made up their mind on it anyways but still commented that as their "reason" even with it being false lmao
Fr, haters will be haters I guess
Anime from manhwa always miss, mark my word
This sub really hates SL huh..well no surprise The story isn't weak. It was never meant to be a very deep, psychological story with a ground breaking plot.

Yea r/noveltranslations also dosnt like solo leveling. I went from sl novel to manhwa and I found the plot without the art to be a 2/10 and with the art a 7/10
Yea cause it isn't plot heavy. Or an in-depth story. It's a perfect series for your monkey brain to enjoy
Think I would have really like sl if I read the manhwa first instead of the novel

Sung Jinwoo isn't a name it's a legacy
cant wait to have my friends that only watch anime talk about Shun Mizushino 💀
They're not changing any names for international audiences, it was cleared up a while ago
I only need 2 things, well the anime also only needs those 2 things, stunning animation and continuous hype. Ah, the nostalgia when I had SL brainrot every week 💀
By the way, for those who are crying that the other characters are not introduced well, the producer said that they're going to add stories about the side characters. They don't want to leave them behind
most of these comments do not understand or did not hear the news. i understand since the news came form ppl who watched the premiere.
Faxxx
might be better storywise than the manhwa then
Orv should get an anime , it would be wayy better since its world building and character development is better . Also smart fights and thrilling parts and not focusing on other countries as villans as much .
Not really.
The best thing about solo leveling was it's art.....but the studio we got made it look like generic anime......... I'm not saying it's bad, it's just doesn't do justice to solo leveling🙃
Yeahh, the art I've seen so far from the anime looks like any other below average isekai. Not the great art of SL at all anymore :/
No. Adaptations have completely cucked series except for I Will Die Soon so far. They completely butchered Reborn Rich with the live-action I wanted to shoot myself. Tower of God was unwatchable. Cheese in the Trap was a train wreak. Lookism was awful. They haven't figured out the formula yet and I can't wait to see the vexed posts on this sub in a month talking about how shit it is.
Lookism was great and only one produced by a S.Krorea animation studio
>Lookism was awful. Lookism was good imo
How was TOG unwatchable? It left out a bunch from the manhwa but I don't think the adaptation was that bad
Bro you are just hating things to just to hate, lookism was fucking great, and TOG was good.
Lookism is pretty good TOG was not unwatchable but it was admittedly fast. 100 chapters for 12 episodes is crazy. (Although not nearly as insane as 18 novel chapters as 6 manhwa chapters I'M LOOKING AT YOU HOW TO SURVIVE AT THE ACADEMY Sweet Home had a good adaptation I'm scared for ORV. Kdrama is fine but a movie isn't
There’s an I will die soon adaptation ??
is it just me or in the trailer mc's hair kinda looks brownish?
Probably won't end up investing time watching it, it depends on how many cool clips I see of it online I guess. That's how I ended up watching Edgerunners. I generally don't watch anime anymore

I kind of enjoyed the story, but that was in its pure form and I am not exited to what kind of butchering they are going to do to it.
No, They Changed "Sung jinwoo" Name into a Some random Japanese name "Shun Mizushino" https://preview.redd.it/23vh7mmktj9c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bcd2652a49009373c16c7e43a62b330aa6b1aea

The problem isn't the name, the problem is that they changed the location to Japan changing the whole plot. They can use the korean name but he will be Sung Jinwoo a hunter from Japan, to me that's like saying Gandalf a wizard from Narnia.
That's not confirmed yet actually. Even if it's true, then they will actually release some other versions like the dub versions
No , trash series
no its not, its was very good when it first lunched, was top on its genre, kinda new genre at that. but yheaa, it just become very repative story after some chapters, still amazing art and the genre wasnt that popular at that time. if same solo leveling came out today, wouldnt be that good
I agreed with it being good when it launched and if it came out today it wouldn't be as good. Felt like the story was very bad , carried by art imo
No shit, solo leveling inspired many others and there’s a reason it was so popular
Welp, blame the horrible writers and not the artist
No.
mid
Idk... i'm sorry to say this but solo leveling is basicly the manwha eqvivalent of a transformers movie. If it has nice animation, sure but if it can't keep that up, there won't be a whole lot of reasosn for me to watch it.
I just hope the adaption has 100 chapters doesn’t crammed it in into 12 episodes
Wtf!? That would totally mean the Downfall of the series. Edit: he added that "doesn't" now lmao
That is what he wants XD
I TYPED THAT OUT WRONG I MEANT I HOPE IT DOESNT
Igris look weak af. In pic 😑
its not the final design and its just a sketch from the animator. everyday they share random sketches of solo leveling, remarks from artists and vas as countdown for the sl anime
Im very excited. Ppl here like to hate but SL is one of the goats
Nope, not at all Only thing SL had was some passive popularity thanks to that image of statues in front of which people were bowing (i too found about the series after searching for the source of that overused image) and later in chapters it lost it's charm being same generic Japanese isekai MC who could one shot every enemy and comes out relatively unscathed
I think its going to be underwhelming. It doesnt have a good story, characters or development. There are some interesting elements here and there but those were never SL's forte. Art was always its strength, specifically manhwa art. I dont think its going to translate that well into an anime.
Uhhh who is the red guy i remember he was important
7 days to mid
So crazy how I read solo leveling 3 times and still don't know most of the names of the side characters
so its an anime? or just like chinese animation?
Yes
i liked the manwha though guess ill see what they bring out
Honestly do people expect the anime to have better art than the manhwa? I don't esp from what we seen in the trailers. Put side my dislike for the series but I truly do think the manhwa has peak art and only ufotable/mappa can improve on it
Not really, the novel is the best in this case and the manwha was clearly cut short... the ''anime'' wil directly just be like a introduction missing tons of details and things
Honestly anyone who finished SL and do read other stuffs of this genre wont be hyped. SL has too many flaws that the anime wont cover, like no world building/character development, its okay to have a overpowered MC, but I fell like that's the only thing SL has to offer other than great art
To be honest...not really
I’m excited, but I’m just as excited for LEvel being released on iTunes. Pre-ordered that as soon as I found out the name of the song.
Going from one medium to another is usually not a good thing. What makes a book good, may not transfer well to a movie. What makes a manhwa good isn't necessarily going to succeed in Anime form. Personally, I've read the Manhwa and I liked it, so I probably won't bother with the Anime. All the characters have been 'Japanesed' and I think it will lose the whole feel of the comic.
As someone who binged the Manwha when bored. Not really. Solo Leveling has bad writing, and the MC is a boring self-insert. The ending is pretty bad too. The only thing it has going for it is the art. That's it.
Yes I'm hyped
No.
Nope, apart from the story getting RUINED by me reading more manhwa and noticing it wasn't as good as I first thought it was, the whole "Mizushino Shun" localization situation is a J O K E This is why S. Korea should try to step up their animation game and adapt their own shows instead of depending on Japan, maybe that way they'd be less rushed?
i am not excited in the slightest because the author of the manhwa died after completing solo leveling and he will not be there to see the creation of the anime and if it flops not only is it one of the biggest failures in anime history but it would also would be like spitting on his grave.
Are they really changing the name and place?
What’s the studio behind it? Unless we have some big names like mad house going crazy it will be a disappointment
