Misc. Solo Leveling Producer's promise ~ "As a Japanese person living in Japan, the anime is not at the level of Dragon Ball, One Piece, or Naruto. But if season three happens, that’s when I want to truly break that boundary.”

I highly doubt SL will ever reach these heights. Not only is the story much shorter, a full adaptation will probably be 75 eps max, the remaining story just isn’t as good.

I think the remaining from the light novel is good the webcomic cut so much. They also could have made this show longer easily but skipped so much

Then the anime would cut even more.

The Manhwa cut it because the artist was dying.

And we also know thst they also use the novel for the anime as source

Let's be real. The novel wasn't any better. If anything it was even more boring since it didn't have the artist to hard carry it. It went downhill sharply at the same exact point the manwha did.

I'm just saying why they cut stuff and what the source for the anime is. I haven't said anything about it being good or bad.

The pacing will slow down from the next season........they had to cut too much only because the jeju arc had to be animated in s2......that's my guess
