A leak from Weibo claimed that the anime adaptation of Chugong 's webtoon Solo Leveling will be delayed due to production issues. The leak is pending confirmation, however, since the premiere was announced for this year, it is now understood that the premiere would be scheduled for 2024 or later , depending on the scale of the problems.
Actually, the production has not revealed more details about this adaptation project at A-1 Pictures studios since its announcement in July 2022, so the reasons for a postponement announcement would be understood. However, it should also be noted that this is a production of Aniplex, a company that this season has suspended almost all its broadcast anime due to "production problems caused by COVID-19", although some say that this is not the real reason.
Aniplex productions seem to be characterized by work schedules that are impossible to meet by their studios, especially A-1 Pictures , which results in suspensions of the broadcasts of their series. However, it seems that some others are happy that Solo Leveling is going to be delayed, stating that “ it is better that it be delayed before then, than that it be suspended while it is already on the air ”. What do you think?
For its part, Chugong published the original novels through KakaoPage between July 2016 and March 2018, with a total of fourteen volumes. A webtoon adaptation had been published since March 2018 through KakaoPage by Jang Sung-rak and ended in December 2021.
Solo Leveling Synopsis
Since a portal that connects our world to another full of monsters and creatures of all kinds appeared, some people have acquired powers and the ability to hunt them, obtaining the name of hunters. The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo, is the weakest of the E-rank Hunters and barely stronger than a normal human. He is nicknamed by his fellow hunters as "the underdog". One day, he and others find themselves trapped in an extremely dangerous dungeon, and only a few survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself barely survives and is the only one to complete all the trials in this dungeon, becoming a "player", now being able to see an interface that shows him quests, stats, inventory, shops, and levels. Will he manage to level up to become the most powerful hunter?
