They say this is the best manhwa out there; So I expect from this episode to the end, the best.
I'm happy 'cause A-1 Pictures is handling such a big project, and I will support it.
Solo Leveling, here we go.

A decent start to the adaptation to be honest.
A1 studios doing good justice for to animation and art style but expecting a little more.

Didnt expect to see Hae cha-in so early (but damn that scene was so well done and her design is just chefs kiss best girl for real), she was supposed to be shown much later so i am wondering how will the future adaptation go with each episode. So will wait off with the early judgement.

Hope to see it pick up sooner since its only 12 episodes this season.

Kinda average tbh, it feels like some basic RPG game, also A-1 animation is a bit weak, let's hope it gets better later, 4.5/10.

Garbage premise. Stupid setup. Garbage MC. Worthless waste of my time to watch some cheap edgelord wannabe show. Lost IQ points trying to figure out the stupidity of this writer's world. Dropped.

@TontonHippo He's right, the first episode of Solo Leveling was terrible, then you know from which pulpit you judge other people's tastes, which Darwin's game you gave an 8 despite it being a rubbish anime and Aot final season part 2 you dropped it at the 4th episode but you still gave it an 8 without even finishing it... you're a clown 🤡

Solo leveling is one of my favorite manhwa, so when I heard about the anime adaptation, I was really excited for other people to see this masterpiece. I'm really looking forward to reliving the story now that it's finally here.

The episode started wonderfully, it was great.

the scenes and landscapes are incredible, combined with the soundtrack it's perfect. The characters are well animated and developed, even the monsters. the blood is not exaggerated, having its colors. I found both characters interesting, I will learn more about them through the episodes.

It was one of the best opening episodes I've seen so far as it gave me some world building, a variety of characters, horror and thrilling vibes. Definitely 10/10. But I think releasing 2nd EP along with the 1st EP would've been a better choice.

Not gonna lie, the only thing it does is look above average. And every anime does that if one throws enough money at it. Absolutely not sold yet, might've as well been every Isekai ever. Guess I will see within 3 episodes if there is something else that keeps me staying, otherwise this goes the way of Kami no Tou and God of Highschool, aka as overrated korean stuff that is 'fresh and new and nonjapanese'. Actually, something like Vending Machine had me more hyped at this point. But I'll keep my mind open, this HAS to have something that makes it worthwhile. I hope. Probably. Please?
@Play2X sorry to inform u but it wont have anything special. The only that kept it going was manhwa artstyle, not the PLOT. It has the most generic plot ever. People who are hyping it are mostly manhwa readers who liked the coloring and artstyle of it which is opposite of manga black and white. This had me also liking the initial part of manhwa, a little edgy but good. Then came the plateau, where everything just seemed to be repetitive and BS and that’s where I dropped and realized that this had nothing special in the beginning in terms of PLOT.

The animation was good, but the way they showed the scenes was SHIT, When they were in the dungeon, scene just changed to some useless info, that just killed the atmosphere, then when jin woo looked at the eyes of the statue, a fucking back story appeared. they should have copy the scenes from the manhwa. When I was reading the manhwa, I felt the creepiness when they entered the dungeon, but in the anime, I didn't feel the scary atmosphere, as they kept changing the scenes. Because of the useless scenes they showed, we didn't get to see
it should end at when jin woo got his
. This just killed the atmosphere as they will show this in episode 2.

The first episode is exactly how I imagined it to be.

I read the manhwa a while back and seeing it finally get adapted is crazy to me. I hope it can get far with its 12 episodes or if not, have a second season.

This is your average "mid ++" show that won't shine but won't flop either, the first episode was decent, the animation had nothing spectacular, the story has nothing spectacular, the OST felt robbed from SnK (probably a related composer or something), so overall it's better than most of the anime of this season, but still "mid ++".

Also, the hype over it before the anime even started was completely unjustified, even if the Manhwa was well received.

@pedrillo1828 It's hyped up not for its story but for its characters especially Jin-Woo. Not to mention that manhwa art work is god tier and there are lots of hyped moments.

Watching Solo Leveling as an anime was always a dream, however funny it may sound. This being made by one of the well known studios is one more box tick, so there’s really much to hope about going into the adaptation. Though they changed the names from korean to japanese, which sounds quite cringe. Will be using korean names, as it’s the only “proper” way.

Been a long time since I last read this, and heck if it’s the first chapter, then it’s all more long, so I’m not sure if that’s how it started, but here we started with a flashback to a raid on
. If it’s really anime original then damn, that’s some way to set things up. Anyways, not too long and we were briefed with the workings of this series.

Hunters, their ranks, gates, and how monsters come out of those gates. And then came our protag, Sung Jin-Woo, looking all thin and bleak, taking insults about how much of a weakling he is to any team he’s in behind his back, but hey like any other korean work, there’s a girl who’s kind to him lol. Still back to the story, and just like any other day, there opened a gate and the hunters like ever went in to hunt the monster and take the loot.

Though hey, they did a mistake, without knowing the danger this dungeon could’ve posed they went in realllllly in… to the boss room, no less. And then came the tragedy… which was the trigger to start it all. Shit has already hit the fan.

Loved the first episode. A-1 did justice. Opening without the visuals sounded good, I mean it was expected but still.

Though hey, I’m pretty sure Cha Hae-In didn’t make an appearance this early lol. Just hope the studio doesn’t do any weird changes going forward.
Their names sound Korean to me I didn't realise they changed it or maybe its bc I'm watching it in vostfr (French subtitles)
