Crunchyroll will stream the second season and they describe the story in a synopsis: “It’s been over a decade since the sudden appearance of the “gates”—the paths that connect our world with a different dimension. Since then, certain humans have awakened to supernatural powers.
“We call these individuals ‘hunters.’ Hunters make their living by using their powers to conquer dungeons inside the gates. In this world of tough customers, the low-ranked hunter Jinwoo Sung is known as ‘the weakest hunter of all mankind.’ One day, Jinwoo gets fatally injured when he runs into high-rank double dungeons hidden within a low-rank dungeon. Just then, a mysterious quest window appears in front of him. On the verge of death, Jinwoo decides to accept the quest and starts leveling up… while the others aren’t.”
As per Anime News Network, Shunsuke Nakashige (Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory) directed the anime series at A-1 Pictures, and Noboru Kimura served as the head writer. Tomoko Sudo designed the characters, and Hiroyuki Sawano composed the music.
In a review of season one of the show, NME said: “Solo Leveling’s narrative surprises, brisk pace and visual spectacle more than makes up for its flaws. Combine that with the joys of Jin-woo’s ascent and the intriguing mystery of his omniscient interface and you get an addictive anime that deserves all the hype it’s getting.”
