OP and ED are banger too!
Criticism:
It started really well, but they keep cutting in between fights to show irrelevant scenes. The whole season has been like that. There are some scenes where it really did help, but mostly it is just killing the momentum of the fights. This show is really good, because it's a f**king power fantasy and the fights go hard. They are killing the mood and tone set by the scenario (fight), by trying to add drama/scenes, which is irrelevant to the current fight. They literally took away the enjoyment, which the Manhwa gave, which is him leveling up with no other interruptions mid fight. Alright, I hate this when people say it, but I'm saying it. MANGA(MANHWA) IS BETTER.
OK! The last episode is ok. The Arise scene worked well and additional scenes again like they added that scene about his sister, that did nothing, but trying to kill the mood again! 🤦🏻♂️
Now, I know novel came first, so may be it follows the novel. But, I'm watching it with only reading the manhwa, so this is just my opinion. Also, don't like them hyping up the Jeju Island arc already. For me personally, it's the best arc of solo leveling, but we didn't expect it to go that hard. We didn't get any foreshadowing at all. But let's see how they do it in future seasons.
Production quality/Animation - 8.5
First half - 8
Hype/Enjoyment - 7 (Anime killed all the mood/hype in most fights)
Overall Rating - 7
