A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special 2023 Anime Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special anime trailer for its upcoming Japanese animated series? This is a great year for webtoon and web novel fans in general. First we got an announcement for Solo Leveling anime series coming next year (2024); and now we will be seeing Desir Arman, Romantica Eru, Pram Schneider, and Adjest Kingscrown in their full anime glory. I have been avidly following the webtoon/manhwa for some time now, so it took me by surprise when I saw the anime announcement on Crunchyroll's official YouTube channel for Usonan's creation (Crunchyroll has licensed the anime outside of Asia). I am as ecstatic as any fan seeing the character design from the webtoon Wookjakga's illustration come to life.




It will only be a matter of months from now and we'll finally be able to see the colorful cast of characters kick ass in A Returner's Magic Should Be Special anime as it is set for an October 2023 release. Although I still have my dissatisfaction with the incorporation of some 3-D models in anime, it is not that big of an issue to me nowadays. I guess I just got used to it by now after being exposed to many recent anime that incorporates such bad CG model (e.g., Overlord). I don't know if Arvo Animation can give justice to the badass fight scenes as seen in the webtoon, but a fan can only hope. I wish it got a Madhouse, Bones, MAPPA, or Ufotable kind of treatment or at least that of Solo Leveling anime treatment. Keeping my fingers crossed. I will be in the loop and will watch A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special once it airs this October 2023.

Solo Leveling (2024) Anime Series Trailer Impressions: The Most Popular Manhwa by Author Chugong Gets A Superb Anime Adaptation Coming to Winter 2024

Solo Leveling is a 2024 anime series produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Shunsuke Nakashige and screenplay by Noboru Kimura. Solo Leveling is the Japanese anime series adaptation of the top-rated web novel Solo Leveling (a.k.a. Only I Level Up) authored by Chugong, with its manhwa/webtoon counterpart illustrated by the late-Jang Sung-rak (aka Dubu), the CEO of Redice Studio. Let's check out what the anime series trailer for the upcoming Solo Leveling has in store for novel and manhwa/webtoon fans here on CMAQUEST.

Solo Leveling
Plot / Synopsis

In a realm where formidable hunters — individuals with extraordinary powers — must combat perilous creatures to safeguard humanity from imminent destruction, an infamously feeble hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself entangled in an interminable struggle for survival. On a fateful day, narrowly escaping an overwhelmingly dominant dual dungeon that nearly obliterates his entire party, an enigmatic program known as the System designates him as its solitary participant and bestows upon him the exceedingly rare capacity to advance in prowess, transforming those he slays into devoted minions, known as shadows.

Embarking on a quest, Jinwoo confronts a diverse array of adversaries, be they human or monstrous, all while unraveling the enigmas concealed within the dungeons and uncovering the authentic origins of his extraordinary abilities.

So what is there to say about the Solo Leveling anime trailers for its upcoming Japanese animated series? As a fan who first stumble upon Jang Sung-rak's manhwa, then when I caught up to the latest webtoon chapter, and finally, finishing it on Chugong's originally authored novel, I can confidently say that I am exhilirated for this anime adaptation. Why wouldn't a fan be? A-1 Pictures directly adapted the designs of the late-Dubu in Solo Leveling's original webtoon run. Fans like us already know what to expect in terms of the story and writing, but seeing those badass moments fully animated will bring shiver down our collective spines.
I cannot help but be at awe at how the Japanese studio stick to the source material in terms of the design of the characters. Character Designer Tomoko Sudo gave it justice from what we've seen so far. For the uninitiated, Solo Leveling is a modern action fantasy series where the series centers on a chosen one who will rise up to challenge the many monstrosities that changed their society and could very well destroy the world and reality itself. Anyone can go read Solo Leveling online or on their respective standalone platforms to learn more about the Shadow Monarch Sung Jinwoo and the colorful characters that would accompany and challenge him along his journey of growth, pain, and triumph. Initially slated for a Q1 2024 release, it was somewhat disappointing that the release date was moved to Winter of 2024; but I guess if it looks this great, we can wait a bit more to get phenomenal animation and a true to form anime adaptation of Solo Leveling.
