Solo Leveling producers call for fans' help with season 3 renewal

Taking part in a Reddit Q&A on the show's official account, Sota Furuhashi and Atsushi Kaneko were asked various questions by fans relating to their work with animators, the global impact of the series and, of course, the international acclaim of the show.

Naturally, the conversation did turn to the future of the series, with one user commenting on the visuals of the past two seasons and whether season 3 will be "able to level up again and be even better".

The producers responded: "Do you know Dragon Ball's Genki-dama (Spirit Bomb)? We need your energy!

"If we’re going to make a season 3, it’s going to take all the support and energy from the fans. I learned that from Akira Toriyama himself! May the great Akira Toriyama Rest in Peace."

As is often the case with series renewals, it's down to viewership figures, and there's no doubt that Solo Leveling continues to be one of the most talked-about anime series of its time.

"It’s a rare kind of series. This has been a truly special experience in our careers."

For now, we'll just have to wait and see what the future of Solo Leveling could look like – and keep our fingers crossed for more.
