The anime adaptation of Solo Leveling has been one of the most anticipated ventures of the coming months. This week, the makers released the first trailer of the show. After this, the video was received with mixed criticism. Some fans believe that this was too early to make a judgment on the animation style of the show. For some viewers, the animation put together by A-1 was lackluster and flat. So, what is your take on this? Here is everything around the first episode, Solo Leveling Episode 1, for you to know!
The plot of Solo Leveling revolves around the hero named Sung Jin-Woo, who is a low-ranking hunter in his world. But when served with a bigger responsibility, he makes the decision of leveling up as best as he could. In the meantime, he also has to fight and kill as many monsters as he can!
Solo Leveling Episode 1: What To Expect From the Opening?
Judging by the first few chapters of the manhwa, the story opens with the introduction of the world and the set-up. There is a doorway between the human world and the other dimension. And the name given to it is “Gate.” And most of the monsters are found in the cluster of places called “Dungeons.” The people in charge of catching the monsters are called “Hunters.” And so we meet with the main character, Sung Jin-woo, a hunter himself.
The real story begins when we find that Sung Jin-Woo is a low-ranking hunter. But since the sudden appearances of such Gates, he has been charged with the work of fighting monsters and also investigating the entire matter. And now, our main character will make the conscious choice of ranking up and solving the problem in front of them in Solo Leveling Episode 1!
First Look & Fans’ Reaction!
The overall storyboard and direction of the story in the trailer have been commendable. However, the one thing that fans cannot hope to overlook in the new episode is the animation style presented in the outing. One fan commented under the trailer that this story deserves a better animation than this. Having been waiting for the show for this long, A-1 is expected to be a better work in maintaining consistency in animation.
But knowing that there is a lot of time until the final release of the first episode, the studio has ample time to work on the errors and mistakes. All in all, the trailer was not received with open arms. Solo Leveling is a story that retains the potential of becoming a record-breaker. And this is only possible when the animation and storyboard are on-point.
