The intriguing storyline, striking animation, and thrilling action sequences of the Solo Leveling anime have made it the most appreciated anime of 2024. With just 7 episodes in, the series has made huge waves in the anime industry, and fans eagerly await the next episode of one of the best anime series on screen currently.
While nearly every manhwa and anime enthusiast has praised it, others have also attacked the anime, claiming that its strength lies solely in its animation and criticized it for lacking a compelling plot. According to some people, the series is being carried by its brilliant animation because of which the focus of the story is being diverted.
Because of these allegations, fans have started comparing Solo Leveling with another anime, which, according to fans, also became famous only because of its animation. The anime in discussion is Demon Slayer or Kimetsu No Yaiba, which also was one of the best anime series, according to many anime fans.
Fans Believe Solo Leveling is Being Carried By Its Animation
Although Solo Leveling has shown the ability to be deserving of all the excitement, many fans believed that it would not amount to much in terms of its plot and would only be remembered for its animation quality. The episodes that have been recently released majorly focus on fights with great animation, which has led fans to assume that the anime is majorly attending to its animation phase.
Although the majority of Solo Leveling’s fan base, who are thrilled to see an accurately portrayed anime adaptation of their favorite manhwa, has given the anime positive reviews overall, some fans felt that the anime studio, A-1 Studios, could have done a better job by concentrating a bit more on the plot than on the animation of the series.
This is why fans have started comparing Solo Leveling to other series that majorly focus on the animation and leave the storyline behind. The first name that popped up was that of Koyoharu Gotouge’s popular anime series Demon Slayer, which was also bashed by fans for concentrating on animation rather than the story.
Fans Compare Solo Leveling to Demon Slayer
As per several fans, Solo Leveling is trending in the same direction as the well-liked Demon Slayer series, which is widely recognized for its amazing animation quality. In recent years, a lot of people have declared that Demon Slayer doesn’t actually have an interesting plot and only stands out because of its amazing animation.
Some fans even took to X (formerly Twitter) and expressed their opinion regarding the similar path Solo Leveling is taking as Demon Slayer.
Solo leveling is probably going to be another Demon Slayer. Mid level plot but god level animation. Looking forward to it though, would be cool to see https://t.co/BybCUCIkq8

Solo leveling is pretty much carried by its art, like demon slayer and it's animation
— God's biggest hater (Villain Arc) (@Epex80) January 8, 2024
The series has only released seven episodes as of yet and it is just getting started with the real story that makes Solo Leveling one of the best manhwa and will make it one of the best anime series of all time. Therefore, the hate that the series is getting is undeserving. And being compared to Demon Slayer does not mean that Demon Slayer is not a good anime series. It has also become a huge franchise since its release.
You can watch Demon Slayer on Netflix and Solo Leveling on Crunchyroll.
