Premiere screening of the first two episodes in the "ReAwakening" screening
https://sololeveling-anime.net/news/?id=66187

I mean, yeah, ofc now that he has this necromancer power and all, he'll want to take any soldiers he can get, with him getting the bears as soldiers now this time. But yeah, while all this is going on inside, I forgot to talk about all the shit happening right outside the gate itself, with the White Tiger guild master and Dongsuk's brother who's finally showed up. And... yeah, he's worse than his brother... and that's one crazy feat in it of itself. Whatever though, because back in the Red Gate, shit is going down as well, with the leader of the Elves himself finally making his appearance.

And from what it seems, the system thing has control the Elves too. That might explain why they dodged the question. Or maybe Jinwoo never asked it at all. But then, how do they even know about the system? Many questions when it comes to that, but whatever because god damn did the animation pop off there from beginning to end of the fight with Jinwoo and his soldiers against the Elves. Which ofc, leads to one of, if not THE best moment of the episode, with Jinwoo killing Kim after being the annoying prick he has been for this arc, and FUCKING ARISING HIM LMAOOOO. From there, it's just a piece of cake and Jinwoo defeats the "dungeon boss", and all's well that end's well.

And yeah, Jinwoo just using his sheer aura to intimidate the White Tiger guild master, and impressing him and all, bringing the episode and arc to an end. Great start to the season with this arc, and I really can't wait to see more in the coming weeks!

Are they like speed running through the arcs or is the pacing good?

I think every arc is worth 2 EPs......well, atleast the first 100 chapters of the manwha. Everything after The Job Change quest is mostly just action,so it's faster for A1 to adapt now.

The Ice Elves totally got their... (dash) handed to them by the one and only Sung Junwoo. That Rank A member had it coming for betraying our gigachad. S Rank vs. S Rank battle? Man, that would've been insane to watch!

I saw the movie in a theatre... Can confirm Hiroyuki Sawano was cooking. 🔥🔥🔥That new song with the male vocals might be the best song I've ever heard in my life. There was an instrumental version of it too and it just slapped so damn hard. The entire movie theatre was rumbling. I'm so ready for Season 2😅

Truly amazing. This episode is currently the best fights currently in Solo Leveling (In my opinion as I am writing this.). The choreography in the fight is truly amazing and I personally always found fights that have multiple things fighting against one individual always truly mind boggling when they manage to get it right and this episode truly succeeds with that because of the amazing choreography and the amazing synergy between the Jin-woo and his shadow allies.

This episode along with the last episode also managed to introduce characters in the side cast that actually interest me, and fixes one of my original criticisms for Season 1.

It will be exciting to see what kind of direction this season takes after the 2 phenomenal opening episodes of the season.

Sorry to say, but these first two episode were SO FREAKING HYPING!
I'm not a manhwa lover, but Solo Leveling is an adaptation that I could watch without any issue even tho it originated from one.
Honestly, it's a 10/10 start for this new season, and I can't wait to rewatch it when it drops (I'll probably forget everything about these eps by the time it airs lol)

The first two episodes were great, it made me want to rewatch the first season and I have noticed a few interesting details, like this foreshadowing in the fifth episode (15:00).


I cannot really feel bad for this weak man who blamed others for his shortcomings, but I hope that Jinwoo's mental struggle will be given appropriate treatment this season. He has already killed eight people after all, and he is ultimately a very kind person despite what the "system" has forced him to do, so it is likely that he will have to overcome a form of mental breakdown at some point.

Eh, I'm not sure what to think of the Ice Elf Boss. Design doesn't look bad I guess?

Sung displays more leadership skills and has been playing his role as he should. The cheregraphy and animation quality is great. This series had consistent animation quality so they should try ot keep this up for the time being. I'm starting to get used to theme songs now.

An epic fight. Too bad, Jinwoo couldn't get the BOSS for himself. He was way too powerful for Jinwoo. But, at least he got Iron for himself which is a plus. LOL. Also, looks like the girl fell in love with him. I'm not surprised. LOL.

Can't wait to see what else is there for him in this season now that they're out of the Red Gate.

The animation was insane as always.

Wait, so those monsters can talk after all? But only Jinwoo can understand them. I wonder why the heck they attack humans. Could be the same reason humans invade their worlds and attack them. Resources. But there's probably some sort of higher power that's controlling this and see it as some sort of twisted game.

So, that idiot got killed by Jinwoo. That was cold. But he kinda deserved it. He'll be more useful as Jinwoo's pet.

"Han is underage." I doubt Jinwoo would even care if he actually was into her lol. But damn, that girl changed way too much after that encounter...

Idk if it’s just because of A-1 or what, but people tried telling me the first couple of dungeons are the best part of solo leveling.. but shit like today clears that. Might not have had the tension of those spinning heads in the first dungeon, but it’s just more fun 🤷🏾‍♂️ Baruka and Jin-woo was literally going aura for aura this shit was incredible.

These first two eps were theatrically released so I know they’re a little more polished probably. Still, given what A-1 did in the first cour and in all their recent works, I got nothing but trust for them going forward.

Sucks Jin-woo can’t absorb Baruka into his army and get a tangible reward for the dungeon, BUT he did get to learn some valuable info about his own limits and abilities, worked with Ingrid and his other shadowborn and improved as a fighter so it’s a W. And bro gained a new member of the harem 😭 “you know Han-san is underage right?” “So?” Is a crazy sequence

Great ep, I wanna see him run into that S rank who keeps chasing him tho.

Brilliant episode.Really liked the choreography of the fight and the way Jin-woo and Baruka moved.

Now Jin-woo has caught the attention of Baek.Jin-woo needs to stronger even more.



Eager to see what will happen next episode.

The flexes were awesome in this episode. The immediate decapitation of the Ice Elf King's minion was crazy! And the way he said it was already over and then walked away into an icy stealth was just too dang cool for school!

I'm not a fan of how Hunter Kim ended up. Sure, he was a dolt, but he ain't deserve death reincarnation as a golem.

The carnal misunderstanding that the rich kid had at the end was fun pretty funny, too 😂

This was definitely a 10 outta 10 episode for me!

This episode was straight up fantastic. The animation top notch, the pacing fantastic, the fight choreography was superb, the music at the right moments, everything was peak. If this is the quality they're going to bring for the entire season then i'm sold, this season deserves a masterpiece rating.

Hunter Kim was Rank A actually and a strong one at that. His job was also a "tank", so high defense and was utilized as that. His roar was some kind of skill to get aggro on himself (typical of a tank). The entire thing was done perfectly I think.
