A-1 Pictures

I am craving for ep-2 even after reading both LN & manhwa & knowing everything of the story. Indeed they changed things a bit & it gave freshness to the story. I personally didn’t feel it rushed. Dunno about anime only watchers. Now one week seems like an eternity.

I think A-1 Pictures will finish the anime. There is no way they will end it in one season. They put too much effort into it. The voice acting, the animation, and the only anime scenes that introduce the characters better than in manhwa. I like how they do it, and the hype is pretty big, so I think they will finish the anime completely, probably with some 1-2 year break, but it's worth it. They are doing a really good job with this. What do you guys think? That's my opinion. 

A-1 pictures does an incredible job. The production quality is really high. Even unimportant scenes are of high quality .

a-1 pictures really cares about solo leveling. Normally we don't see studios paying much attention to such things. They just copy and paste But producers are trying to think like readers. They see the flaws in the scenario and they are trying to fix it. They add new scenes, but not only that, they connect the scenes to each other and improve the flow of the episodes. They remove some unimportant characters and replace them with characters we can see in the future. In this way, they enable the bond between us and the side characters to develop. (like kang scenes. im sure they will show kang more).

They stopped telling the story only through the eyes of the main character. They make the main character part of the world and treat the story as a whole. We've seen cha much earlier and will likely see more of it. I assume they thought of cha hae-in as a second main character. I hope they add new scenes (maybe new fights) to other S-rank hunters as well.

They even change the eye colors of the main characters to improve their characteristics. ( like sjw's eyes to blue, jin-ah to purple or cha hae -in to pink) (in my opinion new eyes looks so cool).

The best part is that while doing these, they do not change the main story. They respect the story. Maybe they can make changes to some scenes in the future but they are absolutely careful not to change the main flow of the story.

I think the meaning of the changes they make will increase as the episodes progress.

Normally, no studio would pay this much attention to an anime.

thank to A-1 pictures.

Alright, let's dive a bit deeper into the whole Solo Leveling anime hype and the mixed bag of reactions about the animation from A-1 Pictures.

So, picture this – Solo Leveling finally gets the green light for an anime adaptation, and the fan base is on the edge of their seats. Excitement is in the air, but then there's this undercurrent of criticism about the animation quality. Intrigued, I decided to unravel the A-1 Pictures story, the creative minds tasked with bringing our beloved webtoon to life.

Now, A-1 Pictures isn't a rookie in the anime game. They have animated many famous titles, they've got Sword Art Online under their belt – all seasons! And hold up, the third SAO season? A masterpiece! The animation and sound effects were just a smidge away from reaching the revered Ufotable level. That's saying something. And if you're into Fate, A-1 Pictures has dabbled in Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/strange Fake – not quite Ufotable territory, but pretty darn close.

But here's where it gets interesting – I took a stroll down Twitter and YouTube, expecting a virtual celebration of Solo Leveling's upcoming anime. Guess what I found? More complaints about the animation style than praises. Strange, right? It's like A-1 Pictures got stuck in the crossfire of critique.

Now, let's debunk the stereotype – A-1 Pictures isn't just the slice of life and romance specialist. Nope, they're like the Jack-of-all-trades in the anime world, flexing their creativity across different genres. Yet, for some reason, there's this lingering idea that they're stuck in a specific animation lane. Weird, huh?

And since it's releasing today, let's not forget to embrace what we get with open hands, appreciating the hard work that went into bringing Solo Leveling to life

In conclusion, Solo Leveling's anime might just be the surprise package everyone needs. A-1 Pictures has shown prowess in delivering some top-notch anime, and despite the skepticism, there's a good chance they'll shine in this adaptation. Fingers crossed for a visual feast that'll put those animation critiques to rest!

I think that over the last decade A-1 pictures has gotten something of a bad rep. Countless times have I heard the same off-handed comments poking fun at its "generic" art style or bad direction. But now that both Kaguya and Eighty-Six have been released, earning full points in every aspect, we should start to really see the hard work and dedication they showcase in their works. Sure they've done some major misses when it comes to the adaptations of some shows (looking at you SAO), but even before their latest shows, they've made some incredibly influential stuff (Your Lie in April, Erased, Anohana, etc.). And even then, have I never heard any praise for the actual studio behind these masterpieces.

As for where we stand right now, I think it's fair to start seeing them as one of the greats of Anime studios. Of course, I'm not saying that you have to like them, because you don't. However, I think it's fair to say that "Those people at A-1 Pictures are talented, goddammit," and that they shouldn't be unfairly undermined by the Anime community for a few blunders in the past. I, for one, am certainly hyped for any new stuff they're working on, 'cause I know for sure that whatever it is, it's got the A-1 Seal of Approval.

edit: bruh, i dont even hate sao. actually, i think its a pretty good franchise thats gotten a lot of fame. im just saying there are people out there who dont like it. i dont think thats a pretty outrageous statement. yeah, i know its not the only reason a1 gets hate. i was just trying to make a point. stop trying to assume a bunch of stuff because of a single line i wrote.

They are really going at it.

Every other anime at Aniplex fest is from A-1 pictures.

Will number of projects effect the quality of anticipated anime like Solo Leveling ?

First of all, outsourcing is a common thing in the Anime industry, but theres 2 difference, theres some Studio who outsource the Project to Bad Studio/Team, and theres some Studio who outsource the Project to Great Studio/Team.

Why we should be grateful? cause the reason why a Korean Studio and Animators did the SL Opening is because Kaneko-San contacts and hire them, And He wanted a GREAT Korean Studio to do the Opening of Korean based show (isn't that clever?)

Why The Opening its so much better Visually than the actual shows? Againn its still 2 Eps...and thats a still common things in industry anime because its only like 1 min 30s which is ofc it will be very good Visually with a great Studio too.

Can A-1P match them? YES, VERY CAN! and Yall should give more props to Kaneko-San who bring Kanno as Action Director, and Having Tokuda (Hes The monster desainer for SL but still a great animator), Tori, Nagakawa, Maruyama as Main animators for SL, And soon More Great Animators will come in Kaneko-P circle.

Whos Kaneko? Hes A-1P Animation Producer (Basically who Contacted and INVITED Animators and Supervisor the Anime almost 100%)....

Sorry if my english bad (im still learning ✌️)

I see so much fun poking at A-1, and I just don't get it. I haven't seen a ton by them, but all of it has been high quality in some way. Working is a fantastic romantic comedy with a unique setting. Fairy Tail has its share of complaints, but it's still highly rated and I enjoy it just as well. AnoHana is a beautiful show that is much beloved, and it definitely made me drown in tears. Erased is the same. Blend S is a fun time, meme be damned. Interviews with Monster Girls is a great slice of life. Grimgar is a great story with some solid action sequences, that reconstructs the isekai genre. Seven Deadly Sins has its share of complaints as well, similar to Fairy Tail, but it's another highly rated shounen. Even with their offshoot, Cloverworks, Slow Start is beautifully animated.

And that's just the shows I'm familiar with. Your Lie in April, Kaguya-sama, Shinsekai yori, Magi, and many others, all generally liked. Is it Sword Art online? I admit I didn't get into it, but surely that can't be the one show that gives an entire studio with a large catalogue of great shows a bad reputation. And surely it's not Eromanga Sensei. That show doesn't remove all the other shows they've done. A studio as big as A-1 is surely gonna run into some misses, but I still don't get the reputation it's been given as a shitty or otherwise disliked animation studio.
