Popular Korean webtoon-turned-anime, “ Solo
Leveling , ” has received a nomination for 'Best Anime
Series' at the 2024 Astra TV Awards . Although the anime category is
new, the Astra Awards had previously honored “Attack on Titan” in the 'Best
Animated Streaming Series' category.
The Astra TV Awards have officially announced their
nominees for their upcoming annual ceremony, which includes the new 'Best Anime
Series' category intended to honor outstanding works from the previous year. In
addition to “ Solo Leveling ,” the awards show has recognized
works such as the Netflix adaptation of Naoki Urasawa’s “Astro Boy” murder
mystery, “ Pluto ”; the western production “ Blue Eye
Samurai ”; and the animated sequel to the cult classic Scott Pilgrim
vs. the World, “ Scott Pilgrim Takes Off .”
Crunchyroll is represented by “ Solo
Leveling “, as well as the fantasy anime series “ Frieren:
Beyond Journey's End “. Adult Swim's “ Ninja Kamui ”
has also received a nomination in this category, bringing the total number of
nominees to six.
The Astra Awards, formerly known as the
Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards, are held annually by the Hollywood
Creative Alliance . The awards show's mission is to
highlight diverse and inclusive emerging talent who might not be recognized by
traditional awards shows like the Emmys and Golden Globes. This is the
first year the awards show has a category dedicated to anime ; Attack
on Titan previously won 'Best Animated Streaming Series' last year. At the same
show, Hayao Miyazaki received the award for 'Best International Filmmaker',
while the fantasy anime film “ Suzume ” lost to “ Spider-Man:
Across the Spiderverse ” for 'Best Animated Feature' .
The 2024 Astra TV Awards will air live
from Avalon Hollywood on August 18, 2024 . The power
fantasy series has been a huge hit with fans, particularly internationally,
with many eagerly awaiting the release of the second season. “ Solo
Leveling ” ’s brand of overpowered absurdity and complex,
fluid fight scenes seem to resonate with viewers due to its sincere focus
on storytelling .
The second season does not yet have a release date,
but fans were recently treated to a first trailer at Anime Expo 2024. The
trailer featured a confrontation between Jinwoo and his enemies, accompanied by
a new song, “4eVR” by Hiroyuki Sawano . Producer Sota Furuhashi has
previously indicated that the second season will place greater emphasis on
exploring the many supporting characters who have often been overlooked.
