@@Delboy_1999 exactly. If they continued the story with the atmosphere of the first arc it would've been fine, but no, they had to make the MC too overpowered for his own good.

Idk man, the beginning was good, everything after was just a shitshow.

A-1 is the one studio that's actually hit or miss, when it's a hit, the animation is just great. The misses tend to be just adaptation of generic light novels and such.
Oh I mean. A-1 studio or the producers never said anything about basing the anime from the manhwa. That's just dumb since the manhwa itself was a passion project from the goat RIP. Or at least it started as one.
Sung Jinwoo the GOAT!! Honestly never thought I’d see this animated but here we are. Something about these Korean Manhwa Shonen type stories are just so elite, next up we got The Boxer coming soon, and we NEED Mercenary Enrollment animated sometime in the near future
@@josephaliyu1443 yup, announced an anime for it last year, i believe it’s coming out sometime this year. That and Seasons of Blossom, slice of life webtoon.
@@josephaliyu1443 That and Gosu are getting animated by Korean studios Xtorm and N respectively. I think there's also a trailer for terror man somewhere on TH-cam.
They did do a Korean dub, which I personally want to watch to hear the difference. I'm just glad they kept the names cause it took awhile to get used to the names since it's from the korean Manwha/LN so re-learning names would've driven me mad lol also, CHA BAE-IN!!!
We finally get see the goat Sung Drip Woo get animated. This first episode was very well adapted and did a great job summing up how this world works. Buckle your seatbelts, because this is going to be an epic ride!
It would've been crazy if the thieves who stole the purse went like "Jeez, lady.. All of that for a bag!??" and the blonde girl responds: "Its not just a bag.. Its prada!"
There are 6 main action animators for this series, out of 6 only 3 participated in the first 2 episodes. Main animators do a lot of work, for example Kosuke Kato was a main animator for JJK he animated in 5 episodes even on a bad schedule. Solo Leveling had a very good production time. There's also very big game animators participating in ep5, 7,8
Holy Crap! I was wondering almost two hours ago if they'd react to this series. You guys may be in for a treat if these series is as good as the hype says it is.
Whats crazy is that they seem to be adapting the Light novel cause the jeju island raid from 3 years ago in the beginning didnt happen in the webtoon those character get introduced later on. I just finished rereading it and yall are in for true PEAK
That kind of cliffhanger makes me wish the first episode was 48 minutes. Can't wait for the next episode already even if I already know what's coming up.
Its also interesting how they changed someof the characters interaction. Like Song Chiyul the leader for the raid was the actual one who insisted on continuing instead of being the voice of reason.
@@AnObviousDonutthis is following the light novel which is the original canon. The manhwa cut out a lot of scenes and stuff due to the illustrators poor health so they didn’t want to drag it out hence why the anime has a lot of extra scenes. Those extra scenes were scenes from the novel that the manhwa cut out.
Really good first episode. If A-1 can keep the authenticity on this level, it's going to be fantastic. Watching made me want to start re-reading the manhwa right now! lol
We all know that an anime series is gonna be good when the first episode starts off with everyone having a little too much fun before everything turns on it's head
The art style and power fantasy is what carries this series, so don't go expecting any groundbreaking plots to happen. MC is weak in the beginning, then chances upon some lucky shit, then proceeds to punk the established powers in the world. Then do some obligatory JP shade, make the top dogs look like fodder, then MC swoops in to save the day. Don't get me wrong, I still love this series for being one of my firsts starting manhwas (also light novel as well). But I grew from that time, so I can say now that Solo Leveling is actually, for all this time, MID.
This was such a good first episode 😭 explained everything right away and clearly. Then the end scene you can felt the intensity and the fear in the room, also can feel the characters fear. Gave horror movie vibes
I finished the Manhwa for 2 days binge reading. This series is f*cking great. I never expect to read manhwa for 2 days. RIP to the artist. He didn’t even get to see his work getting animated.
To be honest, the light novel story seems pretty generic except it is reverse isekai. The only thing I stuck to reading the whole manga it because they make Sung Jin-Woo looks badass as f*ck.@@Flaqqitoo
There are so many more Manwha's that I would love to see be made into an animation, but Solo Leveling was definitely in the top 10 lol... I might have a problem
@ 2:25 "When the healer has high DPS for no reason" reminds me of a DPS healer named NoHealz. He refused to heal and it pissed people off. He always chewed them out about not knowing their class by telling them what skills they should have used to survive. Then he'd remind them that his name is NoHealz and they should have added an actual healer to squad. Lots of funny moments in squad with him. And he was right about using skills.
i am so fuckin hyped for this series finally getting animated, and A1 Pictures absolutely KILLED it on this first ep. if this quality stays consistent or better through S1 its gonna explode in popularity also the fact that they STARTED the Episode with the S-Rank Break on Jeju Island got me pumped
First timer, badass intro lol. Also As someone who read it and waiting years for the animation,it warms my soul to see so many people hyped for solo leveling
Shweta is gonna have to wait a couple episodes for him to become "delicious looking" but I can't wait for her reaction😂 Honestly IF they put the budget and attention in the right places, they might pull a Gojo and have people THIRSTY
The way solo leveling was my gateway into action game-based manhwas. I couldn't put into words how much obsessed I become in this kind of stories after reading solo leveling lmao. This story is also the reason why I first started reading ligjt novels because I couldn't wait for the weekly updates anymore 😭
i’m so excited for this series and y’all’s interpretations of everything! I also wanted to recommend a anime called “Given” It has a lot of different elements to it but my favorite part was definitely all the music. Thanks for all the content!
WOW! I'm so happy you guys are reacting to this show! I've heard great things about this anime! This reaction was the best so far ..! 😁👍( also 6:44 I'd liked "altered beast" game , its was fun.)
Y'all don't even understand the excitement and overwhelming joy I feel after just waiting and praying and hoping I get to see the words of the novel my lil dorky Otaku 12 years old self use to read all hubbled up in a corner with my phone, the one I've followed for EIGHT YEARS FINALLY be seen on the big screen with fire animation to boot.😆 And that's on top of getting to see my fav. group react to it🥰I'm so happy I'm literally tearing up rn😭 ✨2024 IS STARTING OFF WITH A BANG AND I LOVE IT✨😩💃🥰
This made me wanna read the manhwa, so I decided to start yesterday, and I'm currently at chapter 112 and it really shocked me to discover that the last 110 chapters was only season 1. It felt like I watched about 3 seasons of the anime, it's crazy.
For Sheera they did not say they awaken as a e rank they in fact said the opposite they can only awaken to a rank you can keep ranking after that so if your a e rank your stuck (except for special cases)
At this point, the MC is just like the ppl who take mining jobs to survive. Huge risks because there seems to be no better alternative. Also, the island in the beginning is Jeju Island. A real tourist place near South Korea. E-rank is basically the same as regular ppl. One of the big premises of this story, is that once you awaken, you cannot level up for stats like most stories. Even though the commercial translation is "Solo Levelling", the title actually translates as "I alone Level Up". Meaning, he is the only one that can.
Grade 9, sitting in class picking up a new story, now I’m a few days out till 20 watching my favourite reactors go through what i went through… life’s good
I enjoyed the first ep, and the manhwa was recommended to me by friends in the past. Noticed some anime reactors (FreshestAnime & Re:Animated) also read the manhwa, so I decided to check it out, and binged 180 chapters in a few days. Didn't finish the side stories yet, but I know the plot, power scaling, and everyone's names, etc. Didn't read the light novel, and probably won't, unless I feel like it, at the end of this season. The art is amazing. I hope that style translates somehow to animation. Very dark panels w/ bright neon, highlighting eyes and weapons. It reminded me of Goblin Slayer's art a bit. Also, Gojo's eyes from JJK. The only downside is now I'll have to wait a long time to see some of those awesome panels animated. It's an easy read. There's not much text at all, it's mostly action. I recommend reading the manhwa. I rotated a monitor vertically, and tapped "page down," to read through it efficiently. It seems like each ep will cover 5 chapters or so. There's gonna be 12 eps total in this first season. I was hoping for 24 eps. If I'm being optimistic, then the first season should cover about 60 chapters total, so I have an idea of where the story will pause.
I've been waiting to see this animated. And yeah they did animate the fuck out of it. Holy crap. And thank you for clearing up how he looked in later chapters and not the first episode.
Great first episode!
