Today, I want to talk about this anime, Solo Leveling. Man, I’ve been waiting for this! We’ve got a date for the second season, finally, after all the delays and stuff. They’re calling it “Arise from the Shadow,” which sounds pretty cool, right?
So, I did a little digging around the internet. From what I found, the new season is dropping on January 5th. But some places say it might be the 4th for some of us outside of Japan. We’ll see, I guess.
I heard some rumors about why it took so long. Apparently, there were some health concerns with one of the voice actors because of COVID-19. So, they had to push things back. I get it, health comes first, especially these days.
I also found out that A-1 Pictures is the studio behind this. They’ve done some other big shows, so I’m pretty hyped to see what they do with Solo Leveling. I heard the director is Shunsuke Nakashige, who’s also worked on some well-known anime. Sounds like they’ve got a solid team.
- Marked January 5th on my calendar.
- Checked out A-1 Pictures’ other works.
- Looked up Shunsuke Nakashige’s filmography.
Setting Up a Countdown
Since we’ve got a date, I thought, why not make a countdown timer? I wanted something simple to keep on my desktop. So, I opened up my code editor and started messing around. I wrote a basic HTML page with some JavaScript to handle the countdown logic.
First, I created a div to display the countdown. Then, I added some JavaScript to calculate the time remaining until January 5th. I used the setInterval function to update the countdown every second. It was pretty straightforward, honestly. I just subtracted the target date from the current date and displayed the result. I wanted to make it look kinda neat, so I threw in some CSS to style it up a bit. Nothing too fancy, just enough to make it readable and not an eyesore.
Sharing My Progress
After I got the countdown working, I figured I’d share it. I put the code up on GitHub and made a post about it. I explained what I did, how I set it up, and what I learned along the way. Hopefully, someone finds it useful, or at least interesting.
I also talked about the anime itself in my post. I mentioned the release date, the studio, the director, and the whole COVID-19 situation. Just wanted to give some context to why I made the countdown in the first place. It was fun to write about, and it got me even more excited for the new season.
So, yeah, that’s pretty much it. I made a countdown timer for Solo Leveling Season 2, learned a bit more about the anime, and shared my little project with the world. Now, we just wait.
