Based on a popular Korean manhwa, Solo Leveling has quickly become one of the most highly anticipated anime releases of the first quarter of 2024. The excitement surrounding the series began well before its first episode aired, indicating a significant interest among anime fans who eagerly await each new installment.
Some fans are so eager that they can’t bear to wait, a common sentiment in our fast-paced modern era. When a Redditor expressed frustration about a perceived delay in episode release – although it turned out to be unfounded – another user reassured them:
“But now we do have schedules, and these are, for the most part, followed. Solo Leveling is no different. Here’s when the episodes come out weekly.”
Produced by A-1 Pictures, Solo Leveling delivers crisply animated episodes every Saturday. The first episode, titled “I’m Used to It,” premiered on Jan. 6 – Jan. 7 for certain regions. Episodes are typically released at midnight Japan time, 12:30 am EST, and 9:30 am PT. Dubbed episodes are available a few hours later, although they are currently two episodes behind the subbed releases (with six subbed episodes and four dubbed ones available at present).
Solo Leveling follows the classic Zero to Hero story arc, following the journey of E-rank hunter Sung Jin-woo. After a near-death experience in a dungeon, he gains the ability to “level up” and enhance his skills akin to a character in an MMORPG. While the series has generated significant hype, some viewers have pointed out its flaws, as one Redditor noted:
“Definitely enjoying it, but some pacing issues here and there.”
Regardless of whether you’re an avid fan or still forming your opinion about the series, it’s now clear that Saturdays are the days to mark on your calendar. For those eager to catch each new episode, here’s where you can stream it.
