"We are so back" is real. I have a feeling this season is gon' be real good. The first episode is already great too. Got a little battle with the shadows and will probably get more later on. Jin-Woo gotta confront that guy hunting him as well as the ice elves maybe too, guess we'll find out more next episode.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Not nearly as exciting as the manhwa. IDK what, but the visuals aren't that interesting. The manhwa panels looked better somehow.

A little fast in terms of pacing, but definitely feels like an entirely different beast in comparison to Season 1. They really did manage to level up Jinwoo as well; noob is no where to be found. And the brotherly vibe too.. oh we're all screwed here

Wtf is "Come out?" Whatever happened to good ol' 'Arise'? Or even 'Erect'? Still, the scenes looked dope as hell though, especially considering the drip. Makes what happened to ToG feel all the more bad to me.

Also, I just can't look at Jinah the same way after all those Sister Leveling dubs.

Arise is his phrase for turning a creature into his shadow, not to summon them.

Imagine him spamming Arise Arise Arise Arise every time one of his shadows dies and gets re-summoned lmao

I'm waiting for season 2, and it's definitely worth the wait. They give us top-notch animation, no doubt. However, I am disappointed that some scenes from the manhwa were missing. As a manhwa reader, I feel let down. Overall, it's still the best anime to start 2025.

They’ve started the season in one of the best ways possible. Hwang Dongsoo’s appearance before the red gate and his imminent destruction on the horizon definitely instills feelings of anxiety for the viewers, because you really cannot predict how the story will unfold. Jin-woo’s identity being unraveled by the higher rankings also adds to the uncertainty.

Like the first season, it is incredibly done in terms of its visual aspects, I love the art and also what seems to be a more elite ice demon magic beast army at the end of the episode. The animations are nice, but would not say it’s extraordinary.

@jasiy100 lol why people be uncertain about MC? He will live, otherwise the show won't continue.

@Innskip yes obviously, but what I mean is that the stakes are higher so it adds enjoyment to the show

Very good start to the season. Solo Leveling is one of the best animes to date, and episode 1 was an amazing start to the season.

This is going to be a great season. Perfect intro. Although I feel like they still can't quite grasp the OP to really reflect the Solo Leveling vibe.

Anyway I have noticed some differences between the anime and manhwa but nothing serious or story breaking in the slightest. I think the most difference was actually in the school, it was way more funny in the manhwa if i recall correctly.

The coup the grace was the ending of the episode. Amazing ost, top tier animation and Igris being the absolute top dog gigachad he always is and will be. I swear to this day I'm not sure who I like more, Jinwoo or his shadows.

Great start. After already reading the manhwa, I consider the start of this arc till the end of the
to be peak solo leveling. Also, the animation has improved a bit.

Ngl I'm surprised by how high this debut score is. Not that I think the episode was bad at all but I've seen a lot people call this show/story mediocre so I thought that would lead to a much lower score.

The Beginning of season 2 is a disappointment as it has missed quite a few manga chapters so it does not follow season 1 properly they need to start over before they destroy the whole story

Jin Woo oversleeps on Jin Ah’s PTM. He’s dressed up in all formals, and his body is so muscular now, that he’s just too cool, completely different from the look in the first season first episode. His hair style is also cool. His voice sounds matured too, the VA must have a good range.

Hwang Dongsoo arrived in the country.

Seems like some monsters can fly.

Jin Woo takes Song Yi to a gate to make her give up. She calls him big brother respectfully. The gate turns out to be Red Gate.

Monsters inside the gate are the intelligent Ice Elves and Ice Bears. Kim Chul is an arrogant b*stard.

Baek Yoonho and Hwang Dongsoo wait at the sealed Red Gate.

Watched the movie, but damn, I did want to watch this episode again.

The art was amazing, the episode was quite accurate to the manhwa and the animation was smooth but the only flaw is that in some of the frame, there are some of the model of the character or a creauture a bit weird shape. But this episode was amazing

i liked it, i was wondering what his 'platoon' was going to be like. i can't equate his numbers of soldiers higher than that right now... but his knight leader is still a scary SOB! :O kinda like Overlord... that old game from years ago... i wonder if he can improve/change his soldiers over time? not just keep adding interesting 'kills' to his ranks, but train them and his existing soldiers? grind them up? farm somehow??

ahhh! so his lil sis' classmate is in the same pickle he was, this is going to be a peculiar problem... save the lady and guy and the HS girl by hunkering down (maybe inside that cave of ice bears he just cleared out?) and letting the gate explode and release all these monsters into Earth? especially when the "big boys" all got slaughtered by the elves... because other than hiding out, how would that group possibly survive except by exposing his secret?
