The highly anticipated “Solo Leveling” anime made its debut on Crunchyroll yesterday, drawing a positive response from fans. Despite initial concerns that the series might not live up to the hype of the manhwa, the first episode has managed to exceed expectations. However, some fans are left in anticipation as the dubbed version is yet to be released.
Episode one is currently available on Crunchyroll, but only with a Japanese dub, leaving fans who expected a simul dub somewhat disappointed. The question on everyone’s mind is, when can we expect the release date for the dubbed version of “Solo Leveling”?
In the latest discussions among fans, there was speculation that Crunchyroll would unveil the release date for the dubbed version after the release of episode 1. Unfortunately, as of now, no update has been provided. Crunchyroll, known for its timely dub releases, especially for popular anime series, is expected to release the dubbed episode within two weeks.
Wait.
So is there no English dub for Solo Leveling for now? 👀— Christian (@ctlovesanime) January 6, 2024
Solo Leveling Dub Episode 1 Release Date
The dub is in capable hands, with Caitlin Glass handling the voice direction. Fans can likely anticipate the dubbed episode to be released around January 20, 2024, given Crunchyroll’s usual practice of having dubs two weeks behind the sub. Although some fans are disappointed that “Solo Leveling” didn’t have a simuldub release, the wait is expected to be worthwhile.
Despite the slight delay in the dubbed version, the reception for Solo Leveling Episode 1 has been fantastic. Fans praise the top-notch animation quality, with every scene, including the extra ones, being a visual delight. As the most hyped manhwa, expectations were sky-high, and episode one managed to not only meet but also sustain those expectations.
However, some fans on social media express the sentiment that a one-hour premiere for episode 1 would have been even more satisfying. Nevertheless, with the positive reception of the first episode, the wait for the dubbed version and future episodes of “Solo Leveling” on Crunchyroll is anticipated to be an exciting journey for fans.
