I've watched the Manhwa until the end. The animation on this anime looks pretty good!

Okay start so far. I kind of feel sorry for those who voted to not go further, MC's vote got them killed.

Even if the MC is the weakest rank, shouldn't he be stronger than a normal un-ranked human though? Couldn't he use his enhanced powers, despite being the weakest, to get a leg up on Earth? I also didn't like the cop out that technology can't be used, just because small arms are ineffective, they could use things like tear gas, flashbangs, drones for scouting, vehicles, and such. Seems like they're trying to keep a clear separate of magical equipment and modern technology.

Fantastic. But not xD Way too obvious baka MC chose to get his fellow party members killed at the moment he voted to explore that cave. Nice nice

I don´t read the manwha so I am not fanboy. As someone who is only watching the anime I didn´t like this start.

There are certain ways to start a new anime, and Solo Leveling started of with a banger. Amazing first episode, it looks promising the episodes to come.

As someone who has read BOTH the original web-novel and the manhwa, I am in no hurry to watch Solo Levelling, time moves on and before I know it, the whole season is already out. lol, I should've at the very least watched the last ep of this short 1-cour season when it came out. Welp... I digress.

It's quite strange how the first part of the ep is a scene from the previous Jeju island raid, though it's in no way bad, there are many anime-original scenes just like this. The same with Cha Hae-In, my eyes were wide open when I saw her THIS EARLY ON. If there is anything negative, this would be it. I found the circumstances around her original appearance to be much more amusing.

So far they did well to present Sung Jin-Woo as the 'weakest hunter'. Oh man, this is really nostalgic.

Utterly predictable. That's all I can say about this first episode. Almost every character in the beginning cast has death flags as soon as the group votes to go into a mysterious and dangerous dungeon. Personally, I don't care for shows that treat characters like expendable NPCs. To absolutely nobody's surprise, they end up trapped in a death trap. Color me shocked. It's like watching Attack on Titan all over again; it seems like a show about stupid people dying in stupid ways for stupid reasons.

I can't help but roll my eyes at the utterly pointless bloodshed this show revels in for 'shock' value.

This somehow gives me SAO vibes with all the dungeon clearing and stuff. Also weird how the dude rather risks his life for little rewards instead of just searching for a normal job.

God damn, I remember reading this when it started. A-1 did this well!
- Lmao, the dub version has Jin-woo sounding like deku
- I completely forgot there’s brutality in this series, I was very surprised when the statue chopped that guy up
- The sound design and Choreography both go very hard.
- From memory, episode 2 will be amazing
- Ending song was pretty good!

I watched this on a whim after seeing it listed on Crunchyroll. I read a few chapters of the light novel like a year or two ago and didn't like it at all; it was really hard for me to follow, and it was written very strangely (maybe English translation/localization faults). Figured, I would try it again with the anime since it seems pretty popular, and this episode was alright. It was a bit slow and detached for a bit, but stuff really picked up at the end. The worldbuilding is pretty interesting too. I'll have to keep watching, because there is real promise here.

A pretty well made anime. I watched the whole first series and it wasn't bad. It's just terribly overhyped. The main idea of ​​this anime is nothing new, they put two ideologies that are commonly found in second rate anime into a pile. Overall, however, it is very ill-conceived. Attention spoiler of the first part! The story takes place in the world of the 21st century, full of modern technology. Conventional weapons made from common materials do not work against monsters. Weapons made from material obtained from monsters have the only effect. So what kind of weapons do I use this material for? Rifle, submachine gun, machine gun? NO, of course I will make a sword. There is nothing more stupid. Animation, sound, action and especially the story are done very nicely. Unfortunately, the whole basic idea of ​​this anime world is complete garbage!

I picked up this series randomly. I am 5 minutes in. I can't help but wonder, is this supposed to be a gag or similar comedy?

It starts with 3 years ago.... why?????? There was no Now so no need for the 3 years ago. On top, 10 year ago the gates.... ok... so... as in 10 years from the events that happened 3 years ago? Actually, why was said event from 3 years ago even neecesary to be 3 years ago? I just don't understand the whole ideea, is this supposed to be a joke? 3 years ago, 10 years ago, 3 years late present date... up, sound like a joke.

Oh and on top, the red Ants jump all up in air like they are somehow mentally challanged... yep, definitly look like a comedy. And mr muscle man... did he Seriously stayed and waited like a statue, not doing anything, absolutly nothing, until one of his buddy called his name? No wonder the mage woman and other where not showen between the survival.

Haaaa, f sake==))) Man I can't stop=))) Can you imagen, whatever nation it is, waste TONS of money to send the navy to just sit around, not doing anything, insted of sending soldier and more to set up barricates, so that the mages, arches, and more, are not "ready to eat". Can you imagen how much of a joke this 1st 5 minute looks to me when it begins with the navy not setting up anything, absolutly nothing, to prevent the ants from moving freely. Like why do they need to even defead the Ants if there is no one there? Ahhh some villages... so why isen't the navy evacuating them? Why no drones or other scouting tehnology? why no snipers to hit the ants in order to distract their atention (aka decoy) and use a vehicle to keep distance while the hunters kill the distracted ants=)))

Can you imagen, having so many hunters mobilised, and all just wait there to "engage" the enemies like "true warios" insted of climbing the ruined buildings to get distance, to separare the ants so they can get rid of them one by one.


Anyways.... let me continute the episode and hopefully it's just a pathetic start....

Interesting start to this one, and I like the premise of mixing modern life with medieval monster killing! Let's see how our E-rank protagonist will get through this!

I felt that this episode was rather lackluster. Which is saying something since this is the pilot episode, the episode that should be fighting the hardest for my attention.
The story (so far) is very stereotypical and basic. That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. It's just boring.
When watching, it felt like the world lore was just kind of shoved in there without much thought.
I have no opinion on any of the characters, as I need to see more of their personalities first.
On to episode 2!

Sung Jin Woo is a weak E Rank Hunter. Joo Hee is a B Rank Healer.

In a D Rank dungeon, they face statues as enemies.

His poverty makes him take risky jobs. His survival instincts has helped him save his party at the moment. But how many will leave alive in the end.

Well kind of late to the party, heard season 2 was coming around the corner and wanted to finally check it out..first episode in, honestly I'm mixed. Animation is nice, while not as action packed as I thought a first episode would be..defiently an interesting set up..sadly the story and world isn't giving me anything really. Feels like it doing a whole "it's a world of famous (insert hero or dungeon masters) here" type story. However can't lie.. while sung does have some generic traits to him like he only joined for personal reasons..I am interested but let's hope I keep on like this.

but why creatures like goblins or others cannot be damaged by bullets.. makes no sense even if you say "magic"

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Heard a ton about the manhwa. The anime looks promising but nothing really special. A low ranked warrior will climb the ranks and get stronger and become world class. The first episode gives classic shounen vibes with no other aspect. I'm not saying it is bad but I'll definitely not be looking out for anything special from this anime. Also the animation is good.

Sung has a pitiful and sympathetic backstory although it is very typical.

They have somehow ventured into a high ranked dungeon and the boss is slaughtering them all. I'm pretty sure the B ranked healer girl will die.

Also just a hunch but the way to stop this massacre them is probably what they were reading from the tablet. Bow down and pray to it so that it'll let you leave the dungeon.

Excited for what's to come but not placing my bets too high.

I guess. Very archetypical. This first episode was made a la Oshi no Ko to instantly grip casual viewers and deliver a shock, but to me it feels ineffective. The videogame terms like "boss" are painstaking, the third episode is literally named "its like a videogame" for fucks sake. I can see this shaping up to be a very run-of-the mill underdog story. Have many questions, I'll await to see how the show answers them.
