    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Solo Leveling' is acclaimed for its stunning animation, especially in fight scenes, and the compelling journey of Sung Jin-Woo. The dynamic action, immersive world-building, and engaging storyline are praised. However, some criticize the pacing and focus on minor details. Character development, particularly of the protagonist, is highlighted, though supporting characters are seen as lacking depth. The soundtrack and voice acting enhance the experience. Despite predictability and lack of innovation, many find it entertaining and visually impressive.

    They nailed it

    I may be biased since i have been reading its manhwa for years ( completed it more than 10 times already) As for anime it was quite satisfying to finally see this masterpiece having an anime adaptation. I really liked it. Considering this was a 1st episode it was a brilliant move to let us see some important characters in between scenes Some people won't find 1st episode to their liking but believe me you will love ot wait till some more episodes drop I know it starts like this but wait till 3 episodes it will make you addicted to it.

    Just hoping production will be deserving of this masterpiece in future.

    The concept is very awesome

    I loved the series and stories which are very nice and I watched its 4 episode and each end of the episode gives you excitement that what will happened in next so it will connect you with the story and you would also love to watch it.

    This is something!

    And you wont regret it!

    Ive had this show on my watch list for over a year now, watching the first episode made me kinda meh but the second episode is the way to start!

    I recommend watching those first three episodes alongside each other giving it a movie vibe, you feel me? The first one didn't quite hit it off for some, myself included, but trust me if you don't continue you are missing out!

    The art game is on another level - the drawing, character moves, and the colors used are straight-up fire. It's a whole mood, something you don't come across every day.

    That goofy yet kinda creepy smile? That's what hooked me a year back, and now we're getting the backstory of it, pure fire.

    The outro is like being in a cinema, legit movie feels. The intro, though, needs some work, it's a bit meh, hope theyll work on it!

    In this visual storytelling world, every frame tells a story , and it's not just about the plot. The animation style speak volumes, showing mad dedication from the creators and I already cant wait for the next Saturday!

    From Bleach fan....Inspiring and sort of déjà vu..

    As I said I am huge fan of Bleach anime.

    And when I started whatching this I felt déjà vu..

    In Bleach you had Hollow monsters attacking humans, Shinigami with special powers killing them...aaaaand there was Ichigo with almost no powers (underestimated by all) getting stronger... and stronger... and stronger, never giving up. And with Ichigo was his cute, scared lady friend Orihime with healing powers...total déjà vu.

    But story is different. I like this game level up system. It is crazy idea and it works.

    Also the whole idea that you need magical weapons to kill monsters is great. And that magical swords dont last...so you need to make money to buy new stuff all the time. Power up, get new gear...and so on.

    It is briliant. The whole story is like a game. Love it.

    I think every gamer can feel the buzz here.

    I also like that this anime dont drag things to much. It moves fast for anime.

    I am at episode 8 atm. It is clear 9/10 for me.

    Love it.

    I don't know of any series with better cliffhangers...season 2 is crazy.

    Compilation movie plus the first two episodes of the second season of "Solo Leveling." Personally, it's an anime that captivated me quite a bit despite its simple premise.

    It's often said that the first three episodes of an anime are what determine whether you continue watching or not, and in the case of "Solo Leveling," this happens as early as the first and second.

    The course of the first season shows the evolution of Sung Jin-woo's character, who goes from being the worst warrior in the world to constantly leveling up until he becomes a killing machine. Perhaps this evolution is what makes the series and the character most interesting.

    Slowly, he becomes a darker and more fearsome being, even going so far as to murder human beings because the system demands and demands it; otherwise, the consequences would be undesirable.

    The end of the first season is epic and sets a high bar for the start of the second season.

    The first two episodes are... incredible... the changes in the animation are noticeable, the plot gets even darker, and the class Sung evolved into to become "Necromancer" gives him a certain Pokemon master look trying to "catch them all." Clearly, it has the makings of becoming the anime of these times in the Shonen demographic, alongside Kaijuu No. 8, perhaps, although below the blockbusters like Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, One Piece, and others. That doesn't mean it's not a highly recommended series in a genre as overused as this one.

    Updated March 29, 2025.

    Having already finished the second season of the series, I can't contain my excitement.

    We all know it's not the most original manga/anime in the world, but what we do know is that week after week, it broke the internet. The weekly cliffhangers, the epic adventure, and the action kept us on the edge of our seats, day after day, week after week.

    This isn't just about the animation, which is incredible in itself.

    It has a lot to do with the editing, the script, the moments... it would be simplistic to say that a series that leaves us feeling like this is overrated.

    How Jingwoo defeats the Ice Elves, how he appears in Dungeon A to fight the Shaman Ogre, how he enters the Demon Tower to defeat the ultimate boss, or how the events on Jeju Island unfold with Beru are insane. All of this in 13 episodes; there's no filler, no time wasted. We waited a week to see 25-minute episodes that felt like they would last five.

    I'm not going to oversell a series that's about what it is, but really, I think in March, we had the anime of the year.

    Now we wait until 2026.
