Crunchyroll President On Hopes For ‘Solo Leveling’ Season 3, ‘Ghost Of Tsushima’ & New ‘Demon Slayer’ Movies

Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini discusses the future of ‘Solo Leveling,’ the ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ anime, and the new ‘Demon Slayer’ movie trilogy.

Purini attributes the success of the series to the strength of the source IP — it was already a popular manhwa (Korean comic) — as well as the quality of the visuals and production. Purini said the success of Solo Leveling is shaping Crunchyroll’s wider programming strategy, highlighting Ghost of Tsushima, the upcoming project based on the Sucker Punch-produced PlayStation videogame about a Samurai warrior. Hopes are high for Haruo Sotozaki’s adaptation of the Koyoharu Gotouge story after previous Demon Slayers notched strong openings.
