Solo Leveling director breaks silence on major anime change The Solo Leveling director talks about one change in the anime that significantly differs from the manhwa \u2013 so here\u2019s what you need to know. Solo Leveling is one of the best anime of Winter 2024, and it concluded its first season last week. The story is set in a world that drastically changed a decade prior due to the appearance of mysterious portals called \u201cGates\u201d that connect the world to a realm of magic and monsters. Modern weaponization doesn\u2019t work on these monsters. Hence, some humans are granted supernatural powers and are called \u201chunters.\u201d The story follows Sung Jinwoo, the weakest hunter, who hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank gates to pay for his mother\u2019s medical bills and his sister\u2019s education. The changes are subtle, yet they have tangible effects on the story\u2019s portrayal in an entirely new version. The narrative revises many scenes. Solo Leveling Director Shunsuke Nakashige talks about not including the chibi scenes in the anime. Twitter user chromat1cfire shares the translated interview where the director says: \u201cI thought this work required the high-end visuals that are trending these days. Therefore, I tried to avoid cartoon-like expressions as much as possible and tried to use compositions, colors, and shooting processing similar to live-action footage.\u201d \u201cHowever, this would inevitably result in too much work and the video itself and could kill the uniqueness of each section. In order to come to terms with this, we had repeated discussions with staff from the reach section during meetings and video checks.\u201d Solo Leveling anime studio A-1 Pictures was highly praised for its incredible adaptation. It\u2019s clear that the studio was going for a more refined aesthetic in the story. Hence, they decided to remove the chibi scenes entirely. Additionally, creator Chugong also helped the studio with several anime-only changes.
