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.

To be honest it's so damn good and that feels like an insult to the episode just saying that this episode alone is in the top 30 ever produced truth be told. A1 Pictures knew what they were doing with Sung Drip Woo. I'm glad they didn't change his nationality and name like the rumors which would have been hella problematic considering Japan and Korea history, and on ep 2 we get to see Sung get *spoiler* so damn excited animation on point direction on point, va, cha on point! They even showed a raid that was only mentioned as a side not in the manwha and novel we got to see the S rank way earlier honestly it was just fantastic no notes!
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.

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.

I don't know about other anime/manhwa. But this was first time me seeing a game system like topic which I always wanted to see since childhood. This is just a fabulous anime. Although people say it got a simple story but that's what unique it is. Unlike other anime the protagonist is a simple Straight 'man' who is goal oriented and is not distracted which is I will always appreciate. This simple story can also be impactful with a unique idea. It has a good impact on my life too.
Talking about its animations. They are getting better time by time and the amount content they are bringing is faster but that's what we fans want. As I have read the manhwa too I just like this anime. Never thought at first ep it would turn out this good.

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!

Read the manhwa like 10 times and I treasured it for a very long time. The best thing is that when someone reacting to the anime as I was with the manhwa back then, man can't explain how happy I am watching them explode with the thrill.
Animations look so cool and vivid as the manhwa.
Voice actors is killing the Scenes with their performances. Sawano's Background music's are phenomenal as ever.
Man that ending from TK was not expected. Opening was a great one too.
After the 2nd episode , pretty sure we can expect many many great things from now-on. 10/10 for the anime so far.100% Arise !!!!!
