Sota Furuhashi was recently interviewed by Crunchyroll on the two series he was involved with over the past year or so, Mashle: Magic and Muscles and Solo Leveling.

Furuhashi had a sit down with Japanese idol and voice actor Sally Amaki to talk about his latest ventures on Aniplex After Hours. Speaking about Solo Leveling, the producer shared how the anime received overwhelming support from both Japan and foreign countries.

Elaborating upon Solo Leveling season 2, Furuhashi stated:

“This time we’ll also turn the spotlight on the supporting characters and fill in the story a bit more as we wrap things up, so you’ll get a more 360-degree look at the world of Solo Leveling in Season 2.”

Furuhashi acknowledged that season 1 focused more on Sung Jinwoo and his development as a character. Moving forward, Solo Leveling season 2 would continue this trend, but shed more light on supporting characters. Such a move will give fans a more comprehensive understanding of the Solo Leveling universe.

Chugong's series has a great supporting cast. Some names viewers might see more of include Cha Hae-in, Yoo Jinho, Choi Jong-in, Baek Yoonho and others.

The interview saw Furuhashi and Amaki speak about the anime's well-received action sequences. The former shared how they paid attention to detail when it came to the difference in Jinwoo’s skills as he grew more powerful and leveled up.

“While you’ll have to wait some time for the second season to come out, I hope you’ll all keep that strong support coming while we work hard to make an even higher quality Season 2 together with the studio,” he finished.
