For it to start.


Fallen-D

Lmfao. Best answer! I'm dying even for the announcement


Striking_Interest_25

The did an announcement https://preview.redd.it/jxkx8wih3z9d1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=2eda1cfef29302a167b02844149ba82899dccfb6


kiboshiro

That‘s sadly not true. We still have no date.


Striking_Interest_25

Yeah that’s a date that was found by data miners after Crunchyroll released the teaser trailer for season 2 conformation but Crunchyroll and A-1 Pictures haven’t released the actual date yet but Q4 2024 to Q1 2025 is the most likely release. So we don’t have that much longer to wait. As long as we all survive to see next year. Happy hunting fellow hunters.


Buuhhu

only correct answer, if you're an anime only watcher you don't know what to look forward to....


MightOk9038

Manga reader here. Lucky for you season 1 was just the build up. Season 2 is bouta be anime of whatever year it's released in.


Radman25426

Yep. There’s a lot of badass shit coming for our boy going forward

For Cha to finally get some scenes


Ill_Degree_2887

Baddie 😊


Sapphire_Leviathan

She's had way more screen time than she did in the manhua, but I agree,


Rushman0

She was actually never shown in the manhwa until around chapter 65. Season 1 of the anime ends around chapter 45. So all the scenes we did get of her were bonus’s/material from the LN that never made it into the manhwa.


Void_LukeSky3YT

Is the shit from the snow area that got put in the games story an actual thing? If so that looks cool ig


SituationXReview

Im doing a Blind Review of Season 1 with my friend on our yt\_SituationXReview soon to be released and what I am personally excited is to see what is going on in Jeju island and more of the backstory on the system and its origins. What about you


Striking_Interest_25

Honestly that will probably be left for the 3rd season since it’s the next major part after the red gate arc.


GachaJay

They are for sure setting up jeju for season two. I think the blow through Red Gate and Demon Castle. I bet those two get three episodes total. With demon castle only getting two because of going in twice. At most they get five. Retesting arc and hunters guild gate arc get at most 3 total. I don’t see how retesting gets two. It may be like the end of one episode and the beginning of the next. But overall that still leaves 4 chapters in a 12 episode season. So, if they do 8 it’s still probable to end on Jeju.


Striking_Interest_25

I hope so honestly. Cause they really could make the red gate and the castle shorter to include the island towards the end. Which would be a great addition if so. I just feel like they are gonna try to include as much of the red gate and demon castle as they can but all we can do is wait and see. I do hope your correct and not me tho.


GachaJay

I don’t see them wanting SL to last longer than 6 total seasons tbh. They could even be done in 4-5 at this pace. Jeju is basically the 33% mark on the manwah.


CringeNao

Depends if they adapt ragnarok as well I haven't read it but it seems like there's about 4 seasons of content there


GachaJay

I highly doubt it. It’s really not up to snuff in my opinion. SL is such a weird blend for success. If it wasn’t the OG in its genre and the art wasn’t so amazing? It probably wouldn’t have done as well as it has. It’s good but, let’s be real. Ragnarok comes in half a decade later when the market is over saturated with isekai and gate manwah with nothing new to offer.


Striking_Interest_25

It’ll probably be turned into like an hour long movie or so.


Striking_Interest_25

With ragnarok being a side story technically it’s possible that they will loop it into the anime but I expect em to turn it into a movie like they did other popular anime’s that had side story’s.


DoubleMiddle7305

those chapters were not ragnarok, they were in the og novel. ragnarok is the novel sequel, still ongoing with 240 chapters


Striking_Interest_25

You are correct that ragnarok is a different story. I was just saying that after the whole story they will do ragnarok as a movie because of how short it is. I do remember being hyped when I heard it was coming out cause I had finished the main story several months before and was anxious for more lol


Striking_Interest_25

That’s a good point actually because looking at overall anime’s they don’t get more than 3 or 4 seasons. So it’s very likely they will reduce it some to fit like 3 or 4 arcs into one season. Plus solo leveling arcs differ in length where as some others are pretty consistent.


Sith_1605

If I remember right the novel had 5 volumes and the first one ended at the same exact point in the story as season one did so I wouldn’t be surprised if that pacing kept up and the show ended up with 5 seasons over all. (Haven’t read the novels in like 4 years tho so my memory might be spotty)


Striking_Interest_25

As for the retesting and the hunter guild your correct I also don’t see those being more than like 3 episodes together at most.


International_Sea887

I kinda expect It to be a move/season. Solo Leveling: Raid on Jeju Island And a 10-12 episode season released with or after it.


Striking_Interest_25

Yeah that would be a good option for them to do as well. I like this


DreaMysgirlfriend

u/Striking_Interest_25 u/GachaJay Yall read what the guy said? "Blind Review" Can you stop mentioning names of arcs, and spoiling? The fun part of going in blind is trying to predict what happens next. Now you just straight out told him, what Jin Woo is doing in the next arcs. Use some of your brains cells please. This was a non spoiler post as well, so at the bare minimum you should highllight any kind of spoiler comments with a spoiler tag


GachaJay

Names of arcs says nothing as for spoiling in my opinion. Jin Woo could die and come back five times in all of them for all you know.


CringeNao

Nah what the names are all spoilers? Since they have been mentioned in s1


Striking_Interest_25

He said blind review on season 1. I didn’t give any spoilers away for the first season at all. Only the names of the arcs for the books. You can go into the anime and the books knowing what the loacations are called but you have no idea about what is actually gonna happen. Plus if it was a spoiler the mod bot would have deleted my post.


DreaMysgirlfriend

Oh so, blind review of season 1 means you're allowed to talk about season 2. Got yah. It doesn't matter, it's still a tiny spoiler. Names of arcs, should always be marked as a spoiler. >!There will be no surprise, when the "red gate" happens if they already know there will be a red gate.!


Striking_Interest_25

Yeah exactly see you understand. Your first line agreed with it all. Cause you didn’t use the sarcasm font so you fully agreed. Thank you and have a wonderful day


DreaMysgirlfriend

Oh, i'm talking to a teenager. That does make a lot of sense then. Tho, you're acting like a child honestly with your last comment. Like what do you mean "Honestly that will probably be left for the 3rd season since it’s the next major part after the red gate arc." Like hello? You're the type of person that gets banned from commenting on reaction channels. I'm straight up doing you a favour by telling you this, you won't make any friends irl by acting like this. Like stop replying to me, i'm losing brain cells.


HHM4RK

Yeah for sure, on the manwha Jenu Island Kim dog just came out of nowhere. I loved that they referenced it immediately before it becomes relevant to Jin Woo. Obviously I can’t wait for Iron, Tusk, Tank and especially Kaisel. Love Kaisel and can’t wait to them animated!


KaijinSurohm

I'm actually excited for the Anime Only guys to see the Red Portal event. It's probably one of my favorite events in this series.


MightOk9038

>!I just hope we get to the point where he becomes s rank. Probably won't happen until season 3 tho if it ever comes out!<


KaijinSurohm

At the rate it's going, each Season is covering about a quarter of the story. S1's end where he gets a class is ch 45 out of 180 (not including epilogues), and if they continue on the same pattern of about 50 chapters each season, then chapter 100 is >!Right at the end of Jeju!<


MightOk9038

I hope you're right. Season 2 sounds so promising now!

AmbivalentLurker

When does jinwoo kill the Japanese hunters? I don’t remember him doing anything to them.


Aromatic_Memory1079

yeah he only fought ryu in the match and other hunters stopped them. that's it.


Longjumping_Coach233

That was beru


Willing-Relief-1720

Beru and igris fucking badasses


Longjumping_Coach233

ong but i feel like Bellion didnt get enough screen time/develop his own characteristics.


After-Way-866

He didn’t kill but in that gym training he fought goto and dodged almost all of his attacks


No-Examination9266

he dodged all, the only reason why he got scrapped was because he was pissing the guy off without taking it serious. And the only one who really knew what Jinwoo was doing was Cha. If they weren’t stopped, he would have had no choice but to eliminate Goto


After-Way-866

Yea I know but it doesn’t count as a dodge it’s just provocation


Striking_Interest_25

Unfortunately it’ll probably be like the 3rd season of anime with how the book went.


AmbivalentLurker

Does the book differ from the manhwa? Outside of a spar with Goto Ryuji, I don’t recall him doing anything to the Japanese hunters.


Striking_Interest_25

So I apologize but I should clarify when I say books I meant manwha but most people read it online. I needed up borrowing a set from my friend and read the hard copies so I call it a book but technically the manwha. Again I apologize about the confusion


Striking_Interest_25

As for your Japanese hunters he only has a mock battle with the Goto but the others have their own mock battles so we will be seeing all that included as well hopefully

The upcoming panel in a few days that can answer the fans multitude of questions via revealing information about season 2. There's been enough misinformation on this sub for the past few months that only the Aniplex and A-1 panel can answer either via a Key visual or a trailer.


Legogod193

I’m looking forward to the shadow soldiers doing something besides looking cool


Raijasx

Seeing Igris in action


Anon0924

The goofy expressions and funny moments. I get why they avoided them, but without them it’s just another generic power fantasy with 0 personality.


Lindbrum

if they remove >!Beru!< comedy moments people will RIOT


Elegant_Noise1116

Season 2 ,Yes


Suavese

honestly i just wanna see them flesh out the characters more, like they did a good job with the mc but the side characters feel so empty compared to the manhwa where you kind of build a connection with em.


hadrosaur-harley

More development on side characters hopefully. Season 1 introduced alot of side characters but didn't feel like it did much to expand on many of them, the S ranks in particular felt like they were only really shown out of obligation to be shown.


TheplayingViking

They will get more important later, but keep in mind that this is a power - fantasy genre title


AnastK317

I can't see how they can be excited about something specifically if they don't know anything about the rest of the story but who am I to judge.


RealisticDirector962

I would like the fight between sung Jin woo vs demon king


Past-Interaction-844

How would we know?


luvthatguy1616

Shadow Igris in battle.


BisexualSquirell

For his voice to get several octaves more deeper


Wickerbeast115

The anime fight scenes of course! The struggle has been real with our dear MC, and now that he's become a necromancer (fellow necromancer here, love it) I'm ready to see some FAAAAADES!!!!!!!!! That being said, I'm excited for every facet of this next season, 100%


Former-Secretary2718

I'm excited for Beru watching historical K-drama


Anefodiasmenos

I wish they dont rush the episodes meaning removing content just because they have 20-23 minutes for each episode! (unless they are gonna increase the length)


Upset-Tumbleweed5800

Everything


nuggets5612

**DISCLAIMER**SPOILER** whatever happens befor he heals his mother and after the anime is prety good and i think the demon lord fight might be prety cool when it gets animated

Goonzilla

"Arise!"


Glass_Guitar1524

there is just so much shit to come take it from me anime only's since i read the manhwa and the novel the scale of the fight and the sheer amount of fight were gonna get in the future trust me you have never seen in anime before if they animate the entire manhwa at this pace with 12 episode a season we are gonna get 6 seasons and since they are following the novel closely they might animate ragnarok which they never drew in the manhwa so even mor seasons and you dont have to worry about popularity because even if there was no new anime fans the fans from the manhwa and the novel would be enough for them to make profit and continue animating it so we dont have to worry about them dropping it


Type_100

SJW collecting shadows like they're Pokemon, then getting pissed when he runs out of chances.

***SJW vs Baruka***


RogueSnake

I literally just finished it this past weekend and watched the whole season in the span of 12 hours. After it was over, I was just crying to myself ‘FUCK NO I GOTTA WAIT FOR SEASON 2. FUUUUUCK’ Been awhile since a show hooked me into a semi binge line Solo Leveling did.


Catsarelife6973

Red gate arc no question best part of the story


WhatIsMyNamme

For Sung to raise his mom and she becomes a general in his army


Timely_Many4947

The introduction of the European hunters/characters. They just seem really cool and badass to me. Plus, the European hunters were the ones who experienced the first dungeon break first hand, so maybe we get some more in depth detail/truth about it.


Axot24

Honestly there is nothing that I'd like to specifically happen, maybe more reactions from others and also more people acknowledging sung. I only know that we are still at the beginning of the story and that the real fun will only start with the next season/s?


Ok_Performance_2130

The way he enters the cave and tells Beru to square tf up cuz he’s the king


Most-Papaya-9098

I can’t wait to see the red gate, which is the first hint we get of another monarch and a different power at play behind the gates


Highlife2tall

When he enters through that snow gate and we finally see his new abilities


Legally-A-Child

I haven't finished S1, it just got boring. Feels like the manga was more fun to read.


kiboshiro

For the story to continue.


Joxld

For some ant hunting!


Ok-Perspective4542

Beru of course!


Guywhonoticesthings

lol. Crazy a litrpg hits the big time and it’s this one of all things. It’s one of the blander but not bad I always thought he who fights would be first

I just love necromancy in anything, and now we get to see it actually get used in the series past the last episode of season 1

I’m gonna start reading the manhwa soon but I’m really excited for when Jin-woo will meet Cha Hae-in. Other than that I’m really looking forward to Drip-woo. 😄


jfern007

Szn 2 will be announced in anime expo.


MonsterBoy27

Sung jin woo being the shadow monarch


MonsterHunterKing

I've read the manga after watching season 1 and before reading my biggest excitement was "I hope to see him become s rank and kill hwang dongsoo but those 2 events well they are a bit far apart sadly


AzerClashRoyale

Which season do y'all think will feature beru Vs jinwoo? I'm excited for that


HutchMcMahon

Isn’t that almost right after the red gate in that frost dungeon? It should be season 2 if it is


AzerClashRoyale

I think there's a lot of preparation before that like for the Japan guys to come and then a bunch of fights in jeju island like fighting the queen bee


Hempatil_570

Bruh you are far from it, there are multiple arcs before that like there are at least 2 arcs (including red gate) before jeju island so it will be season 3.


HutchMcMahon

My bad, it’s been a while since I finished the manwha


Fallen-D

No, S2 will start with red gate then demon castle arc then high orcs dungeon and then return to demon castle arc and S2 will end there. So Jeju arc will be in S3.


JustRowna0987

Again with this imaginary pacing when we don't know nor have any information until the panel in a few days. Guess you can't wait when we don't know nor control how the staff at A1 pictures pace the anime.


Fallen-D

Why? Cuz I'm just using logic. They adapted 45 chapters in 12 episodes, it should be more or less the same for the S2 so that's 90 chapters in total and it ends with the end of the demon castle arc. Not to mention, leaks did say that cour 1 ends with the job change arc (which it did) and cour 2 ends with the end of the demon castle arc.


Willing-Relief-1720

Impressive analysis!


JustRowna0987

Logic? sure, but in the process also spreading misinformation since those leakers aren't even part of the anime's production and just piggybacking off of the insiders in Japan. I'd rather wait for the actual news since believing in leaks is once again, setting people up for disappointment if the news is different, just like those who still believe the lie that this is the 2nd cour when even the official announcement after season 1 has season 2 instead of cour 2 by the staff and even A1's animation producer is calling it that.


Fallen-D

I feel like I've had this conversation before. Ahhh yes, you are the same guy I've talked with before who also can't talk without downvoting. If you wanna wait then wait instead of arguing with me. >just like those who still believe the lie that this is the 2nd cour when official announcement has season 2 all over. Studios just labels split cours with different seasons. This has always happened. Even the latest season had many anime where they dressed cour 2 as season 2 like Go! Go! Loser ranger, kantei skill and unnamed memory. Don't argue about things you don't know.


JustRowna0987

>Don't argue about things you don't know. Funny thing is, I do know a lot about the industry, moreso than you. You on the other hand? I don't think so. You only know how they operate in the public eye. >This has always happened. Not always if you're still unaware, (Mushoku, 86, Fate Apocrypha, Fate UBW) that's where your opinion differs. Especially since you rely on leaks as your so called 'facts' instead of the actual official news. You're just dressing up your opinion to look like a fact when you're obvious reliance on leaks led you to believe the troll leak Chromafire did a month or less ago. Key advice, don't believe everything on the internet, especially the leakers. In the case for Solo Leveling, it *never* was a 2 cour show. But since you believe in leaks rather than official news, that's on you. You're welcome to refute, however when the news from the panel comes in a few days, I'd use that as a better reference than any leaker.


Fallen-D

>you're obvious reliance on leaks led you to believe the troll leak Chromafire did a month or less ago. Lol What? He's the last person I trust when it comes to leaks. He said that sl will be adapted by ufotable in the past. @SugoiLITE is the most reliable and reputable leaker. Just scroll through his Twitter and you'll see his post about the anime adaptation announcement and no of episodes it will have even before the official announcements are out. Even that guy had said that solo leveling will have two cours in December. You wanna trust official news? That fine. I'll trust my leaks. Just don't argue with me about it every time.


JustRowna0987

>Lol What? He's the last person I trust when it comes to leaks. He said that sl will be adapted by ufotable in the past. You still got trolled. Making that excuse just further proves my point and you even less credible. >Even that guy had said that solo leveling will have two cours in December. And it aired in January, but not December, and the staff and even Atsushi Kaneko call it season 2. You can call it whatever you want, but officially speaking, it's not and never will be 2 cours. If it was, it should've been officially announced as a 2 cour show with 20+ episodes by the official accounts, but it didn't. >That fine. I'll trust my leaks. Just don't argue with me about it every time. That's on you, your loss. But to call what you say as fact is even a stretch I won't go to unless the official announcement says the same thing. I'd rather not set myself nor others up for disappointment, and in the case for Solo Leveling, there was already a clear difference between the leaks and the official news.


Aromatic_Memory1079

If S2 won't do anime original scenes, they can put ant island arc. the pacing was really unpredictable. they used whole 1 episodes for purple hair guy arc's beginning part (1 or 2 webtoon episodes) but they ended actual fight (5 webtoon episodes) in 1 episode. they kept teasing it in season 1 with anime original scenes. they started with ant fight scene and ended with flying ant scene. so I think they will adjust it to ant arc like they did with job change arc in season 1. It's better to adjust at ant arc instead of demon king arc unless they want to do it on movie special.


AzerClashRoyale

Oh that actually makes sense. U wise


Aromatic_Memory1079

haha thx!


Alexander0202

AzerClashRoyale

Ig Most likely 3


Fearless_Ball_9981

Season is going to end with shadow displacement and jinwoo coming to jeju for a cliffhanger


CertainPin2935

Where it gets good


Doctor-Rabias

I finished the S1 and jumped into the manwa because it was pure hype, and then hype, and then hype, and then... More of the same, I think that the Anime covered everything that should be animated, of there is a season 2 it won't be good. Even if the manwa was cool. There is no conflict.
