Season Length Speculation
The delay of Episode 8 has sparked speculation about the length of the first season. Some fans were expecting a two-cour season, but with the recap episode coming between the 7th and 8th episodes, it seems like the first season might only be a single cour.
Disappointment and Hope
While fans may be disappointed by the potential shorter season, there is still hope that the series will continue to deliver exciting content. The recap episode could serve as a refresher for fans before diving into the action-packed second half of the season.
Popular Adaptation
Solo Leveling has been one of the most popular anime of the Winter 2024 season. Despite the delay, fans are expressing patience and gratitude for the series. This shows just how much fans are enjoying the adaptation so far.
