First you complain about how mappa's animator have an overload of work and then when a studio need more time and instead of not releasing an episode drop a recap y'all complain about it. I also don't like recaps, but they are humans and they need their time to work.
@brash10 That's right, break-weaks are necessary for studios, and the other option would be just releasing [nothing].


And if it is an anime that occupies a fixed spot on open or cable TV (?), it is even more necessary.

For whom is this?
They could have just skipped a week. The plot of Solo Leveling is simple, and we fans are not so foolish to forget it....

Why'd I have to get into this show the week before a recap episode? 🤣 I literally just watched the first 7 episodes in a sitting a few days ago.

A recap after just 7 episodes? Sigh.

I dont fucking know what this new fucking trend of doing a recap of a fucking 6 ep I mean what are you going to remind me about the time that he almost shit his pants or the time he jerked off so hard he almost died.
I dont see a reason to take a brake is it because of the animation that made the manhwa look good or the music that makes my ears suffer every time i hear it

"Jinwoo recaps the events of the story so far, from his humble beginnings as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind to his newfound power and renewed purpose"

And we got the infamous recap episode, seems this anime is checking all points of trying their lowest and breaking expectations I didn't even thought i would have.
I saw there's still no thread for this episode so here we go, as you probably guessed from title, synopsis or my quirky comment above, this episode is just a series of flashbacks and recalls from previous episodes, the plot doesn't really progress and the episode seems pretty (totally, 100%) skippable. In my opinion, they picked the worst moment possible to take a break, previous episode was the one that fairly should've build the most hype so far, and they slaughtered that hype with this break, but i guess it is what it is. Personally i would've prefered if they just didnt aired anything and announce a week before they're behind the scheldue or something than doing a recap right now..

Tho what were your thoughts about this episode?

the scheduling of anime has been getting progressively worse nowadays in general, seasons becoming smaller, full of delays, recaps, mid-season breaks etc, its nowhere near the golden era of the 2000s where the mainstream could get hundreds of episodes on weekly basis like bleach, naruto and one piece, because studios now have much less capabilities to do that, which is also why no anime manages to have the same impact as those large classic ones used to have

not all animes have recaps lol, that's more of a sign of horrible/lazy management, most animes nowdays don't have this bs

Don't see a reason for a re-cap episode for an anime with only twelve episodes to begin with. I get that it's a huge win for Korean creators, but the amount of hype seems tremendously misplaced.

If I wanted to fucking recap id just rewatch eps 1-7. Prob production issues or giving animators a break tbh

I read somewhere Taito Ban got Covid so it had to be delayed :(

The thing about recaps are that they are NEVER EVER used when they need to be... A second season airing years after the first season? Or even months later for that matter really, No recap of anything anywhere, ah but 7episodes into an anime? RECAP IT UP. Not that Solo Leveling is doing a recap episode for any other reason but that they are taking a week break.

I am never a fan of recap episodes.

There is no real way to do them "correctly"


Outside of just not creating them at all.

Why do we need a recap episode? If the studio needs a week off, just take it, don't insult us with this garbage.

Jin Woo looks weak at first! First he defeated the goblins,then defeated the giant snaked! He looked so different after that! He doesn’t want the mercy from the humans who make threats to his life and kill them all!
