There aren’t many anime from popular webtoons. Most webtoons are usually adapted into Korean dramas (drakor). However, that does not mean that the webtoon adaptation into anime is less popular. In fact, many are waiting for a number of webtoon titles to become anime, because they are more enjoyable than dramas.
Webtoons have different characteristics from manga. Webtoons are usually elongated, not panels like manga. This makes webtoons easier to read online. In addition, the webtoon also appears in full color so that it looks more attractive.
Even though it’s not as big as the manga, the webtoon has already begun to be glimpsed for an anime adaptation. At least until now, there are five popular webtoon titles that have gotten their anime versions. However, it must be admitted that the popularity of the anime from this webtoon has not been able to match the drama from the webtoon, especially if it is based on the same title. What anime are based on popular webtoons?
1. Tower of God
To what extent would people be willing to step up to achieve their greatest desires? In this anime, those who are able to reach the top floor can get whatever their heart desires. For Baam, there is only one goal that motivates him to climb the building, which is a girl named Rachel. That girl was his only friend in the dark. This is a story about a girl who wants to see the stars and A guy who needs nothing but to meet that girl.
This webtoon was first published in 2010. After almost 12 years running, its popularity has not disappeared. The series is still considered one of the most successful and popular webtoons on the platform. This webtoon has even been adapted into an RPG game called Hero’s Cantare in 2019. The anime adaptation was made for international audiences in 2020.
2. The God of High School
When an island disappears, a mysterious organization sends out invitations to all the top martial artists around the world to compete. The winner can ask for whatever they want and will receive the title of The God of High School. Jin Mori accepted the invitation and agreed to come along.
This webtoon draws references from classical Korean and Chinese mythology that are woven together to create an action fantasy story. This webtoon is also combined with the Hero’s Cantare game. Studio MAPPA adapted this webtoon into an anime in 2020.
3. Noblesse
After 820 years, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel awakens from his sleep in an unfamiliar modern world. He then met his loyal servant, Frankenstein, who was then the principal of a Korean high school. Seeing the opportunity to get to know the new environment, he enters high school and is known as Rai. However, trouble always remains.
The series has been the foundation of action fantasy webtoons for some time now. Even after the final chapter was released in 2019, the series is still seen as one of the most iconic webtoons. Fans of the series have been demanding an anime adaptation for a long time. His wish was fulfilled in 2020.
4. Solo Leveling Anime (Rumor)
Solo Leveling is a popular webtoon with a long awaited anime adaptation. This isekai webtoon has a unique premise that is rarely touched by even anime. In this webtoon, the protagonist doesn’t go to a fantasy world, but a fantasy that comes to his world with monsters arriving and humans eventually hunting them down. Sung Jinwoo was the weakest hunter. However, he will gain power if certain events occur. Finally, Sun Jinwoo gained an ability and began to go on his own adventure.
Solo Leveling is a very popular manhwa. In fact, this webtoon is still popular even though it doesn’t have an adaptation either in the form of anime or drama. However, recently there was news that this webtoon would be adapted into an anime after a company in Japan, GMO Internet, registered the domain sololeveling-anime.net. Previously, this company also registered the domain for Sword Art Online.

The site’s domain title can only be interpreted slightly. Since it’s the same company behind Sword Art Online, it’s reasonable to think A-1 Pictures would adapt Solo Leveling into an anime. A-1 Pictures is the studio that created Sword Art Online. So far, there has been no official announcement regarding this matter.
