Great episode.This is the turning point for Jin-woo.From the Hunted he turned into a "Hunter".

The fight with the Spider Boss was really intense and gives you adrenaline rush.


And Jin-woo kills all the goons ruthlessly.Really enjoyed his character development,he really changed from the way he was in the past.


Really loved seeing more Cha hae in the episode,also the contrast and parallel between her and Jin-woo's scenes were interesting.


The soundtrack was pretty good in this episode.This series is really shaping to be the best in the season and possibly in the year.Eagerly waiting for the next episode.

@Sand_bag Animation or art? Cause I genuinely don't think any studio would've been able to replicate the manhwa's art. And I don't think we'd get much better animation from any other studio either (maybe Ufotable?).

bones would've been a great choice if they animated it like kekkai sensen, watch it if you didn't.

Such a bad animation. Hits have no impact whatsoever.
For example: when the MC smashed the last guy into the ground, the whole screen should have shaken, big boom sound FX, etc. Let the viewer know the strength difference.

Quite pathetic, considering the series is all about fighting, plus the enormous hype around it, and this is the best they can do.

I'm pretty sure you can't murder someone in self defence, and they were absolutely going to kill...

The fake melodrama over killing was just painful to watch, and no amount of effort from the VA is going to rescue the show from its shitty dialogue

As for the spider fight, well that was a whole load of fake out and asspull, all boiling down to running around like an idiot for a few minutes then stabbing it in the eyes. Nice...

There were two instances where the momentum got completely destroyed by showing some unrelated plotlines. The senior training that one dude and some girls discussing past quests and talking about their bosses. I get that this adds to the worldbuilding and is probably set-up for later episodes, but this were not the right moments to place scenes like that. I was impatiently waiting to return what was important right now.

But other than that, I loved everything that was happening in the dungeon. It almost feels like someone is watching Sung through a higher dimension and adds quests according to his circumstances.

The first episode that was actually good, mainly for two reasons: the drawing style now looks like the manhwa, and the action is cooler with some interesting music. Thank God that the anime finally shows some promise 6 episodes in... I was starting to lose hope it looked so mid.

The editing is still shit though, I don't understand why they cut away to totally random scenes mid-fight. It's jarring, especially when the tonal shift is too large. Let the fight scenes breathe FFS.

The Real Hunt Fucking Begins!


The annoying cliffhangers are really back, same energy and faithful to the manhwa. The buildup was well-done.

The animation and that fight between Jinwoo and the Giant Arachnid was incredible. Jinwoo probably wouldn't have survived from that boss if he had already used the status recovery award from the daily quest earlier.

After Jinwoo soloing the dungeon boss, The squad came back to steal Jinwoo and Jinho's items, but they didn't expected the two to be still alive.
For the player's safety, the system now tells the player Jinwoo to hunt the squad that wants to kill himself.

You get to see the power scaling between Sung Jinwoo's current power compared to the rest of the hunters, it shows that he is really leveling up and not just an hallucination of the system.

Looking forward for more episodes! Thanks for the meal.

Where did it end? Because you said there is an annoying cliffhanger and I don’t want to watch if it’s that annoying lol

spoiler alert there was no cliffhanger

Idk why but the fighting scenes aren't as impactful as the webtoon panels. I think the moves don't feel like there's much power behind it? But I really like the insert song though

I thought killing the dungeon boss was satisfying but by the anime gods, I'm glad I was so wrong! I was about to sleep after watching this but killing the pretentious red shirts that's not even worth a very little footnote was so exciting (heck I should get his reward skill too!) and got my blood pumping that I won't be able to sleep right away. I wish he made him suffer a bit longer like break all the bones on all his limbs so he can't move around then let him bleed freely and slowly, oh so very slowly.

I hope this D-rank dude don't tattle about it and keep it is a secret for a very long while so we can have lots of fun surprising the shit out of other shady motherf**kers parading as adventurers.

first of all the animation did justice to the manhwa cause it was fucking awesome.
and the VA of jinwoo my man killed it his voice was insane.
now for the plot,
Coming from a guy who have read the manhwa
the fight between jinwoo and the spider boss was underwhelming.
There were so many cool moments they could've adapted from the manhwa.
In the manhwa the first first time jinwoo attacks the spider was so fucking cool he was like a wave of blue light and the dash part was so much better in the manhwa.
But the part where jinwoo was killing the other hunters was 100 times better than the manhwa. When he was killing them in the manhwa it was like for there was no value for a human life, i know they were trying to kill him but this would be the first time jinwoo will be taking another humans life and for a good hearted character like him this would have been quite devastating the manhwa missed this part completely.
But the anime captured it precisely, here he knows he is taking another humans life and this is wrong but he has to do it and sawano's music OH MY FUCKING GOD! the depth that song added to that sequence was fucking mind blowing it was like the song was there for showing us that yes jinwoo is becoming strong but he is also losing his grip to his humanity
that was fucking awesome.
all in all the episode more was 7/10
very exited to see the next one
there is a insane fight coming in the next episode and it better look good or the anime will lose it's popularity and end up bening a mid adaptation

Holy moly, that was some epic audiovisual experience!

A-1 Pictures have been killin’ this and I really don’t understand why some people complain about that. Not everything has to be MAPPA or Ufotable level, if this were adapted by a less competent studio, I suppose people would appreciate this more…

Anyways, that aside, the system really be pushing our MC to his mental and physical limits. Beating the spider was his own decision but for the system to suddenly order him to kill all 6 members of the fad group? That’s kinda twisted, but in a good way for us viewers at least, lol.

Younger brother seems someone important, I wonder if he’ll trace the records and come after the two soon. I feel like that’s what the human v human fight in the Op was all about? One extra scene of the three females in the coffee shop. Looks like the superstar from last episode is a force to be reckoned with!

I’m glad I gave the umbrella, that’s some way to end the episode on the MC’s note. I’ve heard they tried to make this episode seem like he’s doing this more out of heroic deed while the manwha covered this in a lot more mature and neutral tone. Now, I haven’t read the source material, but if that’s true, I kind of hope it was more of that.

You gotta be in denial to think this adaptation is good, I guess this was the 2nd best episode so far but that doesn't redeem its snails pace, if you read the manga it would make sense this is a fast paced story not some slower than one piece trash which this adaptation is coming out to be it's just boring af to watch. The worst part is the manhwa looks better than the anime, if the 10 minute fight scene with good music was all it took to trick you into thinking this was an incredible episode idk what to say, an anime is meant to add to the story not make a sub par one with some good music and a voice over.

Bones are busy and Ufoatable as well. And tbh I would prefer A1 more than MAPPA right now
