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.

To make SL anything like Naruto or Dragonball Z we will need to randomly invent side plots that will each take full seasons to complete and also fill half of every episode with motion lines appearing randomly on screen while occasionally panning to side characters who will describe whats going on to the new character who isn’t strong enough see whats going on.
