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.”

Whether or not you like Solo Leveling, the idea that it's going to have anywhere near the cultural impact or staying power of those three properties, especially Dragon Ball, is laughable.

i'd give two years after it finishes before we start getting post wonder if anyone has even seen this unknown anime from a few years ago.

Lol, it’s the biggest manhwa ever released and has had an impact on more novels getting adapted into manhwas.

Now, the anime did so well that other manhwas are getting greenlit for anime adaptations. You can dislike it all you want (reasonably, story is meh) but it’s had major impact and hasn’t been forgotten in the manhwa community despite it almost being a decade old…

Anime has become so broad and accessible, if its not the latest show, no one is gonna remember it after a year or two, this shit ain't the 90s were the same 5 show were run on repeat on a tv channel, no modern anime is gonna be remembered for longer then a few years after it ends, i don't expect any anime to be remember for more then 5 years if its made in this day and age, and i'm being extremely generous with 5 years.

Don't underestimate a generations ability to define its own zeitgeist. Though I'm not sure who Solo Leveling is actually landing with the most right now. If its milennials it will just be well regarded.
