Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- is one of the most long-awaited second seasons of any anime for a reason. Or to be specific: many, many reasons. After all, the first season of this anime adaptation of the Solo Leveling webnovel/webtoon by writer Chugong and artist Dubu got rave reviews from both critics and audiences alike. Mostly because of its fluid and very well-animated fight scenes, the high animation quality in general, the ear candy of a soundtrack, and the tantalizing bits of worldbuilding we’re starting to see as the anime goes on. Oh, and Sung Jin-Woo himself. He’s just pleasant, nice, and funny enough as a main character that despite how bland he is, we can at least stand him as a main character.
It’s for those reasons that it’s why everyone is so eager to watch this upcoming second season of the anime. It’s also why Crunchyroll is so eager to promote Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- however they can. This includes the brand new official trailer they just dropped. Don’t believe me? Then why not check out that trailer below, and see for yourself if you too want to watch Sung Jin-Woo’s adventures once again?
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-: Official Trailer Details
Crunchyroll is proud to announce some new details about Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- via a new official trailer on YouTube. This includes details like the eventual debut date. As it turns out: we will get to see this second season of the anime on January 4, 2025. Of course, this anime will be a Crunchyroll exclusive just like the first season. Thus, you can watch that second season only on Crunchyroll.
It’s not just the premiere date that Crunchyroll is revealing about Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- though. Said trailer also reveals the new ending theme song for this second season: “UN-APEX” performed by TK. Fans of Tokyo Ghoul will recall TK’s voice from “Unravel”. It’s certainly quite the auditory treat to get for this anime, that’s for certain.
Bonus: Key Art and Synopsis
That’s not all, folks! Crunchyroll also has the official synopsis for Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- to tease the story a bit. You can check it out below:
It’s been over ten years since gates that lead to another dimension have begun appearing across the world. The battles between the magic beasts inhabiting the dungeons through the gates and the human hunters who have awakened the abilities to fight them show no signs of ending. Ordinarily, a hunter’s abilities do not change upon awakening, with their rank never increasing. However, the low-ranked Sung Jinwoo, known as “The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind,” gained the ability to level up through battle during a raid on a double dungeon.
Having completed a job-change quest that earned him the job “Shadow Monarch” and command over an army of shadows, Jinwoo heads into battle seeking the ingredients for the Elixir of Life to save his sick mother.
Solo Leveling is animated by acclaimed A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online). The series is directed by Shunsuke Nakashige (Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld).
