Feeling antsy about the Solo Leveling anime release date? The wait is almost over! The South Korean webtoon that took the internet by storm is about to hit the small screen. Studio A-1 Pictures, the powerhouse behind anime classics like Fairy Tail and Sword Art Online, made a riveting announcement at Crunchyroll’s Anime Expo 2022. The anime is all set for a Winter 2024 release.
Why the Delay? Don’t Hold Your Breath, Here’s the Likely Scoop!
While we were all amped up for a 2023 release, there’s been a slight push to the first quarter of 2024. The exact reason behind this is still shrouded in mystery, but here’s a solid hunch: A-1 Pictures has a chock-full schedule this year. The studio is juggling multiple anime series, including NieR: Automata Ver1.1a, Mashle: Magic & Muscles, and Fate/Strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn. But, hey, we’re not complaining! More time usually equates to more quality, right?
Who’s Who in the Solo Leveling Anime Crew?
The anime adaptation is helmed by Chief Director Shunsuke Nakashige, who has lent his creative brilliance to anime epics like Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan. Let’s also not forget the ensemble of talents, from head writer Noboru Kimura to character designer Tomoko Sudo, ensuring that this project is nothing short of perfection.

“Chugong and H-goon will likely be part of the animation crew as original creators.”
However, it’s a bitter pill to swallow that Dubu, the celebrated webtoon illustrator, will not witness the anime’s premiere, as he passed away on July 23, 2022. He leaves behind a legacy that the animation crew will undoubtedly uphold with utmost reverence.
