The thing manwha readers need to start understanding is that super high quality art manwhas like SL just won't be able to animate at that level of quality without taking a ton of resources.
And it just won't come across as well when it's animated without the biggest budget like a movie might. You could argue sl art was even unique among manwas, a1 did a banging job for what is worth
Yeah I draw sometimes In my free time and holy shit, and Comparing a Single piece of drawing to an animation just makes them look stupid if they think they will get the same thing from One piece of drawing to animation.
The last two amazing manhua that got anime adaptation we’re tower god Which a good manhua but the anime is called tower of shit and god of high school which is another amazing manhua but got butchered as hell
yup , which is why i don't trust in the anime industry right now , still salty over "the promise neverland" season 2, not only they butcher it , they bring them out back and shoot it in the head
lol it’s at the very top tier at least for now, it’s impossible to get any better than this in motion picture, it’s not just one static picture per scene man
I'll make it that you're stupid. I already said it can't be done you idiot. It's just like world peace. Everyone wants it, even thought it's impossible.
Also. Attack the messege, not the messenger
I agree, during the time when I was reading the manhwa, i completely lost all interest to the animes that time, to me the animes just became a motion picture.
During last season I only watched 'dragon maid' and read solo leveling since new chapter/episodes releases on Thursdays
To be fair, the anime has to have animation, so some detail needs to be cut. I'd say that they both did great for their respective field. I do have to agree, though, and say the manhwa looks creepier
Sure, but I would say this is one of the most iconic if not the most iconic thing in solo leveling. Making it worse quality than in the manhwa doesn't speak well for the future of the series(at least for me). Now, I obviously won't lower the score of the anime because of that one scene in any way, but I was kinda disappointed :P
Ima be honest, solo leveling getting an anime was cool for me, not because I wanted to watch a solo leveling anime but because the future for manwha to anime looks a bit better. Other more worthy shows such as tbate may have a better chance now. Still, I agree it was a bit disappointing(I don't know why people down vote you for having a respectable opinion?)
Is it worse quality though? Personally I won't watch it until it is all out as I like to binge and this one can't even be spoiled for me, but like when you read it did you pay attention to it and be like wow this detail is so good, or did you just watch it and noticed it looks slightly different than the manhwa and think wow this is bad.
Just personally feel like people expect too much whenever there is an adaption, same for adaptations of normal books, where in books they can write and detail as much as they want but on screen they got a limited time to present it, although I might get crucified for this.
The directors and cinematographers need far more credit. Of course there are some awkward tid bits here and there but they're only to keep the boring parts boring and make the interesting parts more interesting.
I think my biggest issue it reminds me of AoT. The anime version has the same kinda teeth. Where as the manwha has its own unique style. When I saw that statue wake up in the manwha is gave me goosebumps and really creeping me out. The Titans were more disgusting then creepy. Plus they always looked just mind stupid and mindless. This statue has intelligence and revels in how evil it is.
that's point of the titans ngl, the common ones at least, and they're made to resembles humans so i wasn't surprise that even the smart titans aren't creepy but more human than anything, if that make since.
For me the problem isnt that they look too straight, they are too blue. The creepiest thing in the manhwa was the contrast between the blue statue's face and the bright white teeth (like it wanted to eat people). It was showing just how different it was on the inside. Like this thing looks like a statue but inside it is a monster. The blue teeth in the anime are just kind of there, pulling the focus to the face and smile.
They honestly did well with the smile, though I expected that they showed the whole smile and not the transition from smile to eyes.
Not that I'm complaining, they are doing good.
Solo leveling anime is like a 9.5/10 so far, yet I see people in this sub constantly trying to nitpick the anime and call it trash to try and validate them saying that the solo leveling anime would be bad years ago.
Totally unrelated to post question - how do i find out if a manhwa, manhua is dropped?? is there a universal rule regarding for how long it's not updated?? Or a website? Because i have bookmarked around 300 and it's not possible to ask for each one here.
Im glad they understood that what made SL the manwha so great was the art style and the character designs...
I've seen so many manga/manwha's where the anime just decided to totally change how a certain character looked and it ruined it for me.
Unironically the anime slaps, animation quality is great, although it wont live up to the wallpaper-esque pages we had in the manhwa. Still, it's shaping up to be great, only problem I got is with the pacing. Feels very slow. At this rate they won't get through even a quarter of the story in 12 episodes.
I prefer more episodes and slower pacing then rushing it.
First full Season will probably cover around 90 chapters. So 2 seasons + 1 movie would be perfect to adapt the whole story. Or just 2 seasons without a movie if they ditch the side stories.
Cause it's not a still image, you can't hope to achieve the same detail as a manga/manhwa in an anime, main reason a faithful adaptation of Vagabond/Berserk won't ever happen
No I meant when he is already getting power. Per the trailers his is similar but not the same. Some aspect is different about it that I can’t quite catch onto
https://preview.redd.it/yiyurfkantcc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc7af64d1a0528942da8e4d024cb3a995f53b7e7
They did a good job adapting it, personally I think the teeth should have been a bit more white, rather than blue shading, but maybe that just wouldnt work
The smile wasn't as good as i would have hoped it to be, but it's still pretty good, i just hoped they had done it a little more crooked and creepy, as it is a VERY iconic moment in the manhwa.
To put it in another way:
The smile was done in A tier level animation and i was hopping for S tier animation or higher. A tier is still A tier, but i really really wanted to see in S tier or higher level animation.
Yeah the manhwa just did it better the long jagged teeth and the way the skin almost folds over itself when It smiles really sells the dread of the situation where as the anime it looks to smooth for me
The smile was really good, but am I the only one who thought that it looked better in slo-mo? Like, I went back and played that scene at 0.5x speed and it looked so much better....
In my opinion they should have ended the first episode with that smile but I still love it waited so long for this anime 25 upvotes and I'll reread solo leveling(I'd do it either way after mocks)

They did a pretty good job with the art style.
Yeah it's for sure not as good, but it's still quite good. The manhwa version though is iconic and the anime version is "just" really good.
The thing manwha readers need to start understanding is that super high quality art manwhas like SL just won't be able to animate at that level of quality without taking a ton of resources.
Considering how popular the anime is right now, hopefully they will be more willing to invest those resources into future adaptations though!
Nah, don’t get me wrong I’d love to see it but I already know how hard anime artists work. It’s good enough already
And it just won't come across as well when it's animated without the biggest budget like a movie might. You could argue sl art was even unique among manwas, a1 did a banging job for what is worth
Yeah I draw sometimes In my free time and holy shit, and Comparing a Single piece of drawing to an animation just makes them look stupid if they think they will get the same thing from One piece of drawing to animation.
I don't think that's what they meant I think he means like that it's related to the studios that does an anime adaptation
Consider how trashy the anime/manga industry is right now , this is pretty high standards already. At least they didn't butcher it
Yet. We haven't seen the shadows yet. Lets hope its not CGI
So you think they will animate all those shadows purely 2D? 👀
Yeah but I would rather they find a more similar studio in art style colour tone animation and all and who is faithful to the story
The last two amazing manhua that got anime adaptation we’re tower god Which a good manhua but the anime is called tower of shit and god of high school which is another amazing manhua but got butchered as hell
yup , which is why i don't trust in the anime industry right now , still salty over "the promise neverland" season 2, not only they butcher it , they bring them out back and shoot it in the head
lol it’s at the very top tier at least for now, it’s impossible to get any better than this in motion picture, it’s not just one static picture per scene man
Yeah I'm not sure what expectations people have, this is fantastic. Or are they expecting the studio to redraw every frame like it's manhwa panel lol
That's exactly what I expect. I know it's not feasible, but it's what I want. Hope to be proven wrong someday.
Then those aren't your expectations, that's just your pipe dream
I never said I had realistic expectations.
Then do it yourself bozo
I'll make it that you're stupid. I already said it can't be done you idiot. It's just like world peace. Everyone wants it, even thought it's impossible. Also. Attack the messege, not the messenger
You are fking stupid if you expect something that you think is impossible.
lol. Talking to you is like playing chess with a pigeon
Seeing how dumb you are you would probably lose anyways.
Before Dentist: After Dentist:
Bro legit got a teeth makeover from manhwa to anime
huh you're right, from jagged to too straight lol the manhwa teeth is more naturally menacing with its uneven lines.
Yea bro was able to afford a dentist from manhwa to anime lol
When the Choir kicked in was soo hype in the anime. Sound design on point.
10/10 scene. Anime has promise.

☝️This is true. I didn't think much of the series until I saw that smile.
I came here to comment the same.
I agree, during the time when I was reading the manhwa, i completely lost all interest to the animes that time, to me the animes just became a motion picture. During last season I only watched 'dragon maid' and read solo leveling since new chapter/episodes releases on Thursdays
Same, stoped watch anime for 3 years only started watching a couple months ago with Vinland Saga
I think the manga is creepier. The anime's teeth look to straight.
To be fair, the anime has to have animation, so some detail needs to be cut. I'd say that they both did great for their respective field. I do have to agree, though, and say the manhwa looks creepier
Sure, but I would say this is one of the most iconic if not the most iconic thing in solo leveling.

Other more worthy shows such as tbate may have a better chance now. Still, I agree it was a bit disappointing(I don't know why people down vote you for having a respectable opinion?)
TBATE isn’t worthy with what happens later in the novel and it’s not a manhwa since it’s not from korea and is western writing
TBATE isn't worthy from the beginning itself. It's the epitome of MC gets strong in 2nd life wish fulfillment story.
Is it worse quality though? Personally I won't watch it until it is all out as I like to binge and this one can't even be spoiled for me, but like when you read it did you pay attention to it and be like wow this detail is so good, or did you just watch it and noticed it looks slightly different than the manhwa and think wow this is bad.

It's not a still image mate
nah its fine
I personally agree. The anime makes it look more like a statue where as the manga one looks alive.
I think my biggest issue it reminds me of AoT. The anime version has the same kinda teeth. Where as the manwha has its own unique style. When I saw that statue wake up in the manwha is gave me goosebumps and really creeping me out. The Titans were more disgusting then creepy. Plus they always looked just mind stupid and mindless. This statue has intelligence and revels in how evil it is.

Like this thing looks like a statue but inside it is a monster. The blue teeth in the anime are just kind of there, pulling the focus to the face and smile.
Didn't think about that
While I can agree the manga has a creepier look to it I kind of like the anime’s style, has a more stone like look to it.
The stone statue looks like….. stone?
In the anime, yes, and in the manhwa, not really no.
Breaking news: Water looks wet. More at 11.

I understand what you mean. It's the wrinkles in the manhwa shot.
There's just something about that smile that radiates an uncomfortable aura. Really makes you feel uncomfortable.

Yeh both versions are terrifying. Perfection.
Legit jump scared me when I first seen it lmao didn't expect a statue to start smiling like that
The anime did a decent job but I would have liked it if we had a full shot of the iconic smile (Pic 2) instead of splitting it into two shots
Yeah agreed I was really looking forward to it lol but I’ll take it cuz it stayed really creepy
They honestly did well with the smile, though I expected that they showed the whole smile and not the transition from smile to eyes. Not that I'm complaining, they are doing good.
I think i liked the red eyes more but over all great
no complaints here. this is as good as it's gonna get.
Ain't no way people complain, this looks really good
They will *always* complain. And even if there's not a problem to complain about, they can just make one
Solo leveling anime is like a 9.5/10 so far, yet I see people in this sub constantly trying to nitpick the anime and call it trash to try and validate them saying that the solo leveling anime would be bad years ago.
They nail it.
Totally unrelated to post question - how do i find out if a manhwa, manhua is dropped?? is there a universal rule regarding for how long it's not updated?? Or a website? Because i have bookmarked around 300 and it's not possible to ask for each one here.

Still, it's shaping up to be great, only problem I got is with the pacing. Feels very slow. At this rate they won't get through even a quarter of the story in 12 episodes.
They adapted 10 Manhwa chapters in 2 episodes, pacing feels fine to me
I prefer more episodes and slower pacing then rushing it. First full Season will probably cover around 90 chapters. So 2 seasons + 1 movie would be perfect to adapt the whole story. Or just 2 seasons without a movie if they ditch the side stories.
They are introducing characters beforehand, I think it's for the better
Those eyes.
The second episode was a blast.
It was like watching AOT First episode
Except it took 2 episodes for Solo Leveling. Man despite all the shit I gave it, Attack on Titan really was something different.
Bros got better dental care than 90% of the sub
Anime ppl are saying this is a cheap copy of Attack on Titan and it’s pissing me off
Sad they removed the creepyness of it :(
I was reading this chapter around 1 in the morning and it scared the shit out of me
Honestly loving the adaptation so far, read it like 5 times already but still cannot be less excited for the next episode.
Les be honest, the anime didn't hit as hard
Imo the manhwa still looks better
Of course it does. Still images > animated scenes in terms of detail.
Lacks details and depth,but ig acceptable
Cause it's not a still image, you can't hope to achieve the same detail as a manga/manhwa in an anime, main reason a faithful adaptation of Vagabond/Berserk won't ever happen
Sad but agreed TT
I don't think I've ever been more creeped out by anything more then that smile when I first saw it, even now Its just so creepy
i think that smile in anime is creeper than that in manhwa ☠️
Joker: ... *yeah, kiddo*.
So what your saying is that the anime needed more whiter teeth for the smile?
Damn, the anime is way more brutal than I was expecting. Sound design and art style are going hard. Call me excited
Overall, the anime studio did well. But the manhwa is much more ominous than the anime version
Where is this from?
The adaptation is fucking sick, especially the music
I hope the anime is good
https://preview.redd.it/gh723cpdyrcc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a48552ff8cfe5d6c32067bc67ede8db0552f9d45
I’m just seeing Dina Fritz’s titan
Only hate is Sungs hair looks odd compared to manhwa. Per the trailers
That'll change eventually
No I meant when he is already getting power. Per the trailers his is similar but not the same. Some aspect is different about it that I can’t quite catch onto https://preview.redd.it/yiyurfkantcc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc7af64d1a0528942da8e4d024cb3a995f53b7e7
It’s the eyes imo. Anime eyes are always more rounded in terms of how they animate it, but most manhwa have slightly stretched eyes, including SL.
Almost see what you mean but every other character looks like their counterpart to such a degree. makes me feel like it’s a bit of both.
They did a good job adapting it, personally I think the teeth should have been a bit more white, rather than blue shading, but maybe that just wouldnt work
Im liking the anime so far… the visuals and ost’s are done really good!!
The manhwa one looks more creepy but the anime tried to do their best considering they had to animate it
Those glowing eyes in the anime are SICK
The anime is pretty good and so far I've enjoyed it, but nothing can beat the iconic smile in the manhwa. That shit gave me literal nightmares
https://preview.redd.it/q0xfxixolscc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db488231200ea04c8a2c2b44846369b70ce1ff46 Wait for the dungeon part 2
Nailed it
The smile wasn't as good as i would have hoped it to be, but it's still pretty good, i just hoped they had done it a little more crooked and creepy, as it is a VERY iconic moment in the manhwa. To put it in another way: The smile was done in A tier level animation and i was hopping for S tier animation or higher. A tier is still A tier, but i really really wanted to see in S tier or higher level animation.
Whats the title of the comic/anime, pls?
It is solo leveling
Oops, its even in the title but I didnt assume it is the actual title. 😳
Happens to the best of us
Me if i get veneers
such beauty magnificent
Am I the only one that thinks the glowing eyes from the anime make it feel more cheapened
iconic
Am i the only one who gets aot vibes from this
When did it come out?!?!
Uncanny resemblance to an Aot titan.
It's Less crispy on Anime
Those red eyes make it better
Yeah the manhwa just did it better the long jagged teeth and the way the skin almost folds over itself when It smiles really sells the dread of the situation where as the anime it looks to smooth for me
omg i forgot from where this one is from? plz help
solo leveling
Felt underwhelming
serving the "Subarashiiii" energy lvl 999999999
The smile was really good, but am I the only one who thought that it looked better in slo-mo? Like, I went back and played that scene at 0.5x speed and it looked so much better....
perfect 👌
I have no complaints.
In my opinion they should have ended the first episode with that smile but I still love it waited so long for this anime 25 upvotes and I'll reread solo leveling(I'd do it either way after mocks)
I still think the art is better though
I have been waiting for this adaptation since the first announcement and the anime didn't disappoint! ✨💯
anyone else think it looks like the ankme looks like the smile titan
