by

Summary

  • Solo Leveling broke its own record on Crunchyroll with Episode 6 reaching 100,000 likes in 7 hours.
  • A mock-news ad in Japan introduced a new S-rank hunter from the series, indicating its popularity.
  • English-dubbed Episode 5 of Solo Leveling Season 2 was delayed, but Episode 6 will still release on time.

In Japan, there’s been quite a buzz about Solo Leveling, coming very close to making headlines – or so it seems. While Solo Leveling has been setting records on Crunchyroll, some argue that its fame in Japan is yet to reach its full potential due to being an originally South Korean webnovel.

Sure thing!

Although Solo Leveling might have more appeal with anime audiences outside of Japan, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not popular in Japan or that the production team isn’t making a significant effort to increase its popularity. In fact, the recent advertisement for the anime suggests that Solo Leveling is still a strong series, even if it may not be as popular as Demon Slayer.

During the broadcast of Season 2 Episode 7 of “Solo Leveling” on BS11 TV in Japan, there was a sudden interruption to deliver exciting news: a new S-rank hunter has entered the scene! This intriguing announcement is part of an advertisement for the series, with popular idol Riria from Nogizaka46 as the news anchor. You can catch this captivating mock-news clip on Aniplex’s YouTube channel.

In this advertisement, they’ve brought a strip from the webcomic to life on screen, quite an intriguing approach. However, it’s essential to note that the ongoing live-action adaptation currently being made is not connected with this promotional content.

Solo Leveling Breaks Its Own Records on Crunchyroll

During the debut of Solo Leveling Season 2 on Crunchyroll, an episode swiftly garnered a staggering 100,000 likes, setting a new standard. However, the series has since surpassed this achievement: Episode 6 managed to achieve this feat in an astounding 7 hours! The excitement was so palpable that even Crunchyroll and pirate sites’ servers were affected when it was launched.

Bad News for Solo Leveling English Dub Fans

Regrettably, not all recent updates about Solo Leveling have been positive. Last week, Crunchyroll announced a delay in the release of Season 2 Episode 5’s English dubbed version, which is now scheduled for February 22. Luckily, this delay doesn’t affect the schedule for Episode 6, so both Episode 5 and 6 will air on the same day when it comes to their English dub versions.

Right now, you can catch the popular series, Solo Leveling, on Crunchyroll with both subtitled and dubbed versions available in numerous languages. Additionally, it’s accessible on Netflix in certain Asian regions.
