Excuse my caps, sir/madam, BUT THE UK HAS THEATRE/CINEMA/POPCORN FACTORIES THAT STREAM ANIME EPISODES ON THE DAY THEY'RE RELEASED?

Fuck that's awesome! "Hey dude, you wanna game tonight?" "Sorry, I made plans with my family to go to the cinema, eat way too much popcorn, and drink a pint or two watching the newest episode of 'Solo Leveling'."

He's talking about the movie that's in theaters.
The movie is a recap of S1 + first two episodes of S2.

good thing they had that little recap because I remember barely anything from S1.
For all the action and style the show has, the story is very forgettable.

Great first episode, it's picking up the action right up where it left off. No recaps and no wasted time.

@Xeehad But why should you care about how you appear to others? If there is some detail that you don't like, it's right that you say so, after all a show has the task of satisfying you...
@Leon888 I don't care about that, and I do complain if there's something I don't like. But in my opinion, Solo Leveling Season 2 is doing an excellent job. Sure, I could probably find a few minor details that aren't perfect (though not many), but what's the point of nitpicking every little detail to find shortcomings in such a great adaptation?
I’ll definitely have something to say if, in future episodes, the adaptation becomes really mediocre, but so far, I’m enjoying it

I don't know how many people realize that this anime makes scenes inspired from attack on titan. For example, in this episode that bear vs. Igris fight was so similar to the levi Vs. Beast titan fight.

Jinwoo luck has gotten way worse after his supposed second awakening. Getting caught in a red gate is terribly unlucky for a new squad. RIP the other squad.

Well damn, that was quite the way to kick things off!

It seems that Jinwoo has accepted the principal’s request to convince Jinah’s friend to quit hunting and continue going to school, and the plan was quite simple. Go into a C-Rank dungeon and scare her off, except that it turned into a red gate, which has stronger and more intelligent monsters.

Dongsoo Hwang, the brother of the leader of the guys who tried to set up Jinwoo and Jinho back in Season 1, so Jinwoo is lucky in some ways that the gate became red, otherwise he’d have him to deal with. Dongsoo is an S-Rank Hunter, and Jinwoo hasn’t reached that level of strength just yet.

Chul Kim, an A Rank recruit, is a douche. He’s willing to let the lower ranks die because they aren’t as high as him. His arrogance and demeanor remind me of Endeavor, which is also because they share the same voice (I’m pretty sure it’s the same English voice actor). Then in the end when his group are all dead, HE RUNS LIKE A BITCH! BRO THAT COULDN’T BE ME!

While those with Jinwoo are obviously perfectly safe while he wipes out all the ice bears using his new job class, Shadow Monarch, and his shadow soldiers to take care of all the ones in the den, including the big boss.

So now Jinwoo will have to handle the ice elves by himself, and we’ll see how that goes.

LET’S GO SEASON 2!

Bro is OP for the sake of being OP. I still think this is way too overhyped. Igris is one scary mf. I would not want to get close to him at all. When did he even gain the ability to summon shit like that?

A-ranked guy shot himself in the foot big time, he got the worst possible outcome.


Well deserved tbh, he brought this upon himself. Thankfully, the cute B rated joined Jinwoo. Why did the school counselor ask Jinwoo if he would let his sister become a hunter??

This show sure knows how to give Sung Jin Woo a major presence. Even the B-Rank hunter deferred to him as the second groups leader without knowing why! Unlucky for him that his instincts didn't say to stick with Sung Jin Woo. His whole group got demolished because of his bad choice.

The second season started really strong. We’re already in an impossible situation where no one can get in or out of the gate. It might be for the best, considering we don’t know how strong that S-rank bald guy is, but it will definitely be tough for my man. Another thing is that the point of this raid was to teach his sister’s friend how scary and risky dungeons can be, but with him handling everything on his own, I think it’s going to have the opposite effect. Anyway, I had so much fun with this one and I can’t believe how cool this guy keeps getting, especially with a knight as awesome as Igris by his side!

@Xeehad The problem is that it's not a great adaptation, and an average adaptation at best.

Can't wait for that A-rank team captain to become Jin-woo's shadow, hihi.

That B-rank woman intuition is on point, same as that A-rank tank guy, he just responded in instinct. lmao

Can't believe after a year it was announced, Solo Leveling is back with a second season and it continues where season 1 left off. We got to see the shadow monarch complete their first ver mission and Igris was so badass

Damn the opening slaps so hard. I still think S1's opening is better but this one is no joke. The ending song is meh but the visuals are clean as fuck.

Jinwoo really rocked that undercut. He's unrecognizable from the E-rank Jinwoo. Also he looks even more taller and jacked now. His interface colour has also changed. And he seems more used to his shadow army.

I presume this entire arc will revolve around solving the Jeju Island mystery. We kind of saw glimpses about it in S1 and that the S-ranks are going to raid the island.

Can't wait to see more of my boy Igris! Jinwoo was really lucky Igris is an honourable fighter or he would have been cooked.

Looks like the A-ranker is about to die. Is the Elf leader the boss of the dungeon?

That S rank bully is here. Idk how Sung will confront him.

We start strong with the cringe, as the girls moan when Alphachad Giganuggets arrives to the school and he spills his strong pheromones throughout the environment, every gurl across a radius of 4 kilometers is salivating for him. Then, we get to the big bad evil guys of the week: Frost Elves. Sung Jin-Woo carries their ass, obviously, nothing new here and this show is already going for the repetitive formula of presenting nothingburger monsters so this MC can destroy them.

Our guy, Gigachad Sigmalord (aka Sung Jin-Woo) can now summon an army and fucking ARTORIAS THE ABYSSWALKER however and whenever he wants, and apparently he can keep the summon even when OOM. AND he's also horribly broken even without his minions. AND he's lucky, AND he has a shop, AND he has equipment. Woah, this is so absolutely thrilling I'm shaking in my boots right now. Where are the stakes? The buildup was very weak too, practically no tension.

If this guy will just keep getting exponentially stronger and everyone else will remain static, and we dont get to care about the characters, where is the tension or thrill? Of course, compared to the other group (they got divided for some fucking stupid reason) Sung Jin-Woo's gang is triumphing, while the others got absolutely wrecked; and yeah, thats what you get for dividing the group in unknown territory, you utter retard... why is everyone stupid except for Sung Jin-Woo, who apart from being an uberchad hes also Einstein? Everybody is like WHO IS THIS GUY, OMG HE'S SO STRONG!! One season and one episode after, and the shameful power fantasy is still going strong.

Solo Cringeing.

Awesome anime, and the animation is on point, I loved the 1st season and I'm sure as hell loving the 2nd season too, I'm watching it with English dub since that's how I watched S1, and to my surprise, the English dub is fucking awesome, Solo Leveling is one of those few animes with an amazing English dub.

The MC is kind of a cringe lord though, when he became strong he got cocky as fuck, not the best MC around that's for sure, but man, fuck it, I still love this anime.

The OP is kind of nice, the ED is garbage though. I will be watching the OP in every episode but I will be skipping that garbage ED.
