This post contains spoilers for Solo Leveling.
Summary
Solo Levelingis one of the most popular anime series in the world. It gained popularity as a result of its interesting story and stellar animation. The credit for the lattergoes to A-1 Pictures and everyone whoworked with the studio, as they poured their heart and soul into creating an adaptation that would be talked about for years to come.
Recently, two producers who worked closely on the anime answered some questions from fans. One of them was related to their favorite Shadow in Solo Leveling.
Solo Leveling Producer Answers A Major Question
He Revealed The Least Favorite Shadow To Animate
In the Q&A, Atsushi Kaneko answered a question about the Shadow that was the most exciting to animate and the Shadow that was the most challenging to draw. The producer did not pick a favorite Shadow, but he did pick the least exciting Shadow to draw. He revealed that Tusk was the least exciting Shadow to animate. Atsushi Kaneko disclosed that there is not a lot of movement since Tusk mainly casts spells.
As an action animator,he preferred working on Tank and Iron. The producer also revealed the one thing he wanted to animate the most. He said that the Flying Nimbus from Dragon Ball would be his pick. Atsushi Kaneko said it is iconic and joyful.
If I had to pick the least exciting shadow warrior to animate, I’d say Tusk—since he mostly just casts spells, there’s not a lot of movement or action. As an action animator, characters like Tank or Iron would be way more fun to bring to life. But if I could animate anything for fun, it would probably be something like the Flying Nimbus from Dragon Ball. There’s just something iconic and joyful about it! —Atsushi Kaneko
The Q&A also included several otherdetails about the Solo Leveling anime, such as the time taken to produce an episode and the possibility of Season 3 being announced. According to their answers, each episode of Solo Leveling takes 10 months to produce, and certain episodes take around 12 months. Considering the time the staff spends on the anime, it’s easy to see why Solo Leveling has such high-quality animation. Some studios decide to shorten the window to pump out more content, adversely affecting the quality. A-1 Pictures has no desire to compromise the series' quality for the sake of money. This is also a big reason why the studio has yet to announce a third season.
The Producers Didn’t Reveal The Release Date For Solo Leveling Season 3
The producers were asked repeatedly about the third season, but they did not provide a solid update. All they said was that fans needed to extend their supportfor Solo Leveling Season 3 to become a reality. The update doesn’t sound promising in the least, and fans can only hope that the coming weeks will bring more information related to the third installment of Solo Leveling.
Another crucial question that the two answered was related to the addition of new scenes to the story, and they gave a sensible response. They revealed that a single chapter can be covered in a few minutes, which makes it necessary to add new content to create a full episode. Furthermore, the removal of certain scenes is done to make sure the episode’s flow is not affected. They also disclosed that the original author is consulted before these changes are made. Fans should listen to this response and go easy on the criticism.
Solo Leveling Season 3 Updates Have Been Limited
Solo Leveling Season 3 updates have been scarce, which has caused panic among fans. They want to know when the anime will return with the third season, but so far, no one has given an exact release window. One of the people associated with the series said that it could happen in 2028, and if their statement is to be believed, then the next season is at least three years away.
The update has exacerbated the situation, as three years is a long wait. It can also adversely affect the anime’s popularity, as many people would have moved on from it. Hopefully, that won’t be the case,and A-1 Pictures will make an announcementin the coming months to ease fans' worries.
