Friendly Review : Solo Leveling

That’s awesome to hear! I totally get your excitement about the anime. I mean, reading the manhwa multiple times and treasuring it for a long time shows how much you love it. And now seeing it come to life in animated form must be incredible!

I totally agree with you about the animations. When the visuals capture the essence of the manhwa, it’s like a dream come true. And let’s not forget about the voice actors! They really bring the scenes to life with their amazing performances. It’s like they were made for these characters.

And speaking of music, Sawano’s background music is always on point. It adds so much depth and emotion to the story. It’s like the perfect soundtrack for the thrilling moments.

That ending from TK sounds like it caught you by surprise! It’s always exciting when a story takes unexpected turns. And I’m glad to hear that the opening is great too. A catchy opening can really set the tone for the whole anime.

Based on what you’ve seen so far, it sounds like we’re in for a treat with this anime. I can’t wait to see what else it has in store. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me! 😊

Oh man, I totally feel you! Having a show on your watch list for over a year and finally getting to it is such a great feeling. And it’s even better when it surpasses your expectations!

I totally get what you mean about the first episode being a bit “meh,” but the second episode really kicks things off, right? Sometimes it takes a couple of episodes to really get into the groove of a show, but once it hooks you, there’s no turning back.

And I love your recommendation of watching the first three episodes together like a movie. That’s such a cool idea! It must give it a whole different vibe and make the experience even more immersive. I’ll definitely have to try that out.

The art in this show is just next level, isn’t it? The drawings, the character movements, and the colors used are straight-up fire! It’s like a whole mood that you don’t come across every day. And that goofy yet kinda creepy smile? I totally get why it hooked you a year ago. Now getting the backstory behind it must be pure fire!

I’m glad you mentioned the outro feeling like being in a cinema. It’s those legit movie feels that really elevate the whole experience. And hey, if the intro needs a bit of work, I’m sure they’ll listen to the fans and make some improvements. It’s all about that attention to detail, right?

You hit the nail on the head with the visual storytelling. Every frame tells a story, and it’s not just about the plot. The animation style speaks volumes and shows the mad dedication from the creators. It’s clear that they poured their hearts into this, and I’m already counting down the days until the next Saturday!

Thanks for sharing your excitement with me. It’s always great to geek out about awesome shows. Let me know if there’s anything else you want to chat about! 😄

Hey there! I totally get where you’re coming from as an anime-only viewer. It can be tough when a show has such a massive fanbase and high praise from its source material. The hype can really set some high expectations, right?

I agree with you that the premiere might have been missing that special “IT” factor. It’s interesting to hear that some manhwa readers thought it should have been a two-episode premiere. Maybe that would have given it more time to really grab your attention. Right now, it feels like just another fantasy series, not bad but not quite living up to the hype… yet.

Comparing it to other popular anime, it sounds like the pilot episode didn’t quite match up to their level. But hey, sometimes it takes a couple of episodes for a show to find its footing and really start shining. So I’m hoping that as more episodes come in, you’ll be pleasantly surprised and the show will improve in quality.

You mentioned that watching two episodes together might be a better approach. I think that could definitely help with the pacing and overall impact. It’s just a bummer for the weekly watchers who have to wait a few days to see the second part of the initial disaster. Patience can be tough when you’re excited about a show!

Thanks for sharing your honest review with me. It’s always interesting to hear different perspectives. If you have any other thoughts or want to chat about anything else, feel free to let me know! 😄
