Really good episode of Solo Leveling, probably my favorite one. They absolutely snapped with the battle. For those that are wondering where the last few episode reactions are, I talk about it in the intro of this video! Thanks to yall, I was able to set my expectations to just expect some crazy action in this story.
The extra characters weren’t really given any character development in the manwha. A lot of these scenes they cut too are anime originals and it’s very obvious they only put that in there to increase the episode time.
Cant be said loud enough. Staying in video game terms since Jin Woo is playing one: He is about to finish the tutorial. Sadly that also means we will only be teased about Jin Woo's "Arise" (dont think that spoils anything and ill leave it at that) a little bit. And hopefully they earn enough money to adapt more because we havent even seen a glimpse of Jin Woo's power as he didnt even finish the tutorial... and with what follows the animation will be key.
This fight between Sung Jin Woo and Igris is the most anticipated fight for this series by far. I remember reading this fight back then when Solo leveling had 90 chapters. Igris is by far the first thing that comes to mind whenever I think about this series.
for me the most anticipated fight is actually with that ant, if your reading this dont spoil, but the event that happends in this current is also one of the most anticipated
So you are saying this is the best fight of the entire manhwa? everything will get worse from here? this fight was very good but it's not legendary, at least in the anime, not even top 10 best anime fights in history
The reason why there not too crazy with the characters right now is because 80% of these characters weren’t REALLY supposed to be even introduced until the end of S2. That’s why there Trying to build them up now. They’re going to get a whole lot Better later on.
@@muhdikmal3287yeah. the major complaints about the Manwha is that the characters weren’t flushed out enough and got introduced way too late. Not only is the anime adapting the light novel (original) but they are also adding a ton of anime only scenes to better the characters AND the story
@@moomooha234that cut was to show the time. It was 11 pm at that time remember Jin-woo hasn't completed his daily quest yet and he has to complete it before 12
The fact that Igris was holding back 💀 Igris went full Broly mode in this episode... The best episode so far in solo leveling in 2024 season 1, Igris vs Jin tops. 🔥 A1 gave solo leveling the love it DESERVED, season 2 will 100% get 50x better and fights.
You can say it gets even better, but saying "50x better" sets anime only's expectations insanely high. I remember a manga reader for MHA said the Overhaul arc was as good as Yorknew from Hunter X Hunter a year before it got animated. My enjoyment of the arc would have been much higher if that one manga reader didn't set the bar THAT high lol
8:53 You have to "thank" the webtoon readers for the side character interruptions. They were the ones complaining about SL not having enough "side character development" and that's why A-1 decided to include these side characters moments in the anime. The Webtoon didn't have that, in the webtoon it's straight action without interruption
I like the cuts, makes it feel more 3 dimensional because in the manwha, I couldn't care less about the plot/other characters. Now, there's at least a little bit to work off of. I could see how it would be annoying if you're really looking forward to the action though, but this anime has more than enough action to make up for it imo.
@@moomooha234 The reason why I love the Solo Leveling webtoon is because the story is scentered around Sung Jin Woo and his unique power to be the only one who levels up. In my opinion the webtoon showed the right amount of side character development. The Solo Leveling story doesn't need side characters with deep backgrounds and character development. They just need to show enough information for people to get the idea about those side characters but since they're not the main focus of the story, they don't need some complex backstory and ambitions. I strongly believe that the Solo Leveling story is perfect the way it is in terms of "side characters".
@@ShadowSparksX I read most of the manhwa, and it's pretty good, but I was starting to get disengaged near the end because I didn't really care what happened next. But maybe that's just the effect of a boring plot. In an animated format, I feel like there's more information being conveyed. In the jinho scene with his father and brother, you could hear his voice and his subtle behaviors that you can't pick up in a webtoon format. But most of this is personal preference. I like getting to see people other than jinwoo. In most animes the MC gets like 60% attention and 40% are on the other charcters. In the webtoon I would say it's more like a 95% 5% split. And the anime adaptation is maybe 85-90% jinwoo, so I feel like there's a bigger benefit from more screentime of the side characters. Also I like how they're keeping Jeju Island in the back of your mind and that adds to the gravitas of the situation on the island. The webtoon feels more forced and less natural imo. Plus the interruptions weren't too jarring for me since it's similar to how most anime is. Although, I do concede that it relieves the build of hype and that doesn't make it peak as hard as shows like Demon Slayer that have periods of 10-20 minutes of action. But perhaps it's better that we get interruptions in the first cour as opposed to when things start to ramp up further.
@@ShadowSparksX nah they shafted the side characters pretty hard later on, i literally don't care about anyone aside from Jinwoo, even cha hae in and Jinho aint really on my mind most of the time, i mean if them being just barely developed is perfect to you then i guess it is perfect lol
Bro you need to read more manga if you think the story was good enough without side characters, it was legit just a boring constant fighting power fantasy with the most basic boring characters and decent art
@HorrorISPassion for reall.. finished the manhwa.. but it just nothing special the more and more u read it. i ended up skipping all the fights caused i know the result already ....
I like his videos for the most part but I have to admit, as a fellow New Yorker, he can be difficult to watch. He embodies almost every negative stereotype that exists for a New Yorker. I'm not sure how much is him just playing it up because he knows it'll bring views and how much is ACTUALLY him but he can be real rough to watch at times...
It's so funny how anime onlies will think that the first 12 episodes are like "the first arc", but the contents of EP 12 literally spell THE BEGINNING. You know, and everyone else will know too, soon..
Nick's criticism is fair since even in the Manwha, Jin Wuu was the only actual character while the others were cardboard cutouts. I appreciate that the anime is trying to improve them, but let's be real here, they're just there to hype the MC.
That was my biggest critism. Jinwoo 'solos' so much in the manhwa that he had basically no relationship to people even by the time he gets registered as an S rank. I was happy to see the effort put into fleshing out the 'cardboard cutouts' as you say, but I'm not sure they're using the best methods since they keep interrupting big Jinwoo moments to cut away to them.
yes its fair, in a vacuum. BUT.......hes also been hyping Ninja Kamui, which compared to solo leveling, might as well have a story written by ChatGPT. Plus its not something that should be deterring him from watching the show, since its not what anyone watches or reads it for lol. Like when watching Demon Slayer, just turn your brain off and enjoy lol.
I still liked the characters well enough. I'm only sad they barely got to show what they're capable of, but they were likable enough. Or maybe it doesn't take much for me to like a character. I'm already glad when they're not annoying af like most anime characters. I'm also a bit sad people talk about the side characters this way without including the... you know... because in my eyes they are the actual side characters
@@zap7737 Yeah Ninja Kamui really is garbage from a lot of standpoints. Pretty much the only redeeming quality is the action sequences, and that cannot carry an IP to the pinnacle by itself.
I'm fine with that. Solo Levelling is like the inverse of JJK in terms of how integral the protagonist is to the plot throughout the episodes. Jin Woo is actually performing his role well as the main character, unlike Itadori (yes I'm judging Itadori too harshly perhaps and based on two seasons unlike Solo Leveling's one season, but I am immensely disappointed at how flat the main character for JJK is compared to its more interesting side characters. Though to me I prefer Solo Leveling's way of slowly building up the plot and and easier-to-follow power scaling)
@@Sawa1698Laugh all you want weirdo, this is a series that made Manhwa popular world wide and redefined a lot of tropes for action series, so it objectively is a masterpiece, trying do deny it means you have no idea of what you're talking about.
Had goosebumps the whole episode 🙈and these is just the beginning 😋after these 2 episodes his drip, sauce and jinho will be surprised how strong his boss will become 💪
The characterization that leaves you disappointed has been added to what the manwha had, which was mostly the action you crave. But the original novels had a lot more about the characters than the manwha does at this point. The anime producers felt an anime adaption would be too shallow if it were solid action, so they are filling us in to information that readers of the original novel source know. It's not 1:1, but the manwha left a lot out, and I'm glad the anime is adding it back in. And keeping the awesome action and vivid style and frames from the manwh.a⬅ So you'll have to live with light touches of characterization and world building. They'll all coalesce into awesomeness once their roles become narratively vital. You won't be left wondering, where the F did these guys come from? The world is much bigger than Jin-woo and what he personally experiences.
Yeah and u find people going to trash talk blindly against a1 studio for no reason. They're trying they're best to find s reason to define the adaption trash
when i saw the next episode was called "Arise", my heart skipped a beat. It's been a year or two since i read the manhwa, but that single word is like the herald of peak and as for all the characters you don't have a reason to care about now, they'll be more intwined with the protagonist within, i'd guess, the next 3 episodes or so. it'll also introduce another one i love to bits, we love Beru in this household
Trust me jumping to other characters is gonna help tons to understand the future of the show, as someone who has read the manwha they are doing a great job protaining everything!
When he said that i instantly remember that solo leveling just keeps getting better throughout the whole series at least in terms of giving chills to the audience. Power fantasy series has a problem that it's get repetitive afterwards and solo leveling is not a exception but Solo Leveling always manages to give you the satisfaction that you want even you know what's going to happen
@@SungJinwoo_. Yes I agree...I still feel the same excitement whenever I re read the manhwa...its artwork is just amazing...the anime is doing really good... But the future fight sequences need to be more well animated which is not very easy task for projects like solo leveling... However still hoping for the best
@@RukshanaBegum-yt1nb After seeing this episode i hope they keep up the quality like they're doing up until now. Now i get it why they were holding back in the animation quality in some fight because in 2nd cour they will have to spend a massive amount of budget to animate those arc's and it's risky because fans expectations are way too much but i hope they will at least do us justice like they did in this episode even if they can't do better than this
The transition that shows other characters actually gives the idea of the time difference between inside dungeon to outside of the dungeon its pretty good details i guess
A1 studios went above and beyond i remember the manwha was hype af picture perfect i think we all were anxious to see how well this would be animated and A1 did not dissapoint in fact the opp also that VA was on some next level and the OST was beutifull
Not the power up but the iq of how to defeat Igris cuz he got some free time And why the villan give him the free time ? Just bcz he was not ordered to kill him
He litterally caught Igris lacking He baired him into thinking he was done, that is prob why he could catch that blade slash (also specific gloves to negate damage), no need to go full power on dead meat, then he stabbed him on the eye off guard. Besides Igris was holding back overall
Yall taking this way too seriously lmao. If u couldn't tell, I'm joking but it is kind of funny since this sort of thing does happen in solo leveling a lot.
Don't care what the haters think bro, keep doing you, you're an amazing reactor. There's a reason why you're close to 1MIL subs. I appreciate the content man 🔥
Nick saying I don't care about these side characters my mind instantly replied you'll soon just keep watching these 12 episodes are literally just the beginning of story
Nick, for the record, WE LOVE YOUR HONEST REACTIONS. Any fandom has haters so we can't help it, but I hope you'll overcome them haters. Nevermind them as long you enjoy what you do!
Uframetable CGI impact lmao Then Its gonna be CGI Leveling also Fate animation Team?? what is bro yapping about Solo Leveling Studio is also did Fate, Its Fate Strange Fake, Fate Apocrypha, Fate Grand Order Babylonia and Fate Grand Order PV
The best i swear 💜 Igris is awesome, i recently read the manga after i watched the first 6 episode of Solo Leveling, and it sucked me in. I needed to know everything. Sung is absolutely my favourite right now. 💜💜💜🔥
I love how Igris reminded me of how Gold Saints used to battle back in Knights of the Zodiac good days. I also struggle with the lack of depth/exploration of other characters in this anime, the animation and action scenes are top notch though.
It's crazy that A1 is actually doing a way better job developing these side characters compared to the manhwa, in the manhwa every single other character has essentially 0 screen time in these episodes, and when they do appear later on they feel like fodder. Honestly, I applaud them for trying
I believe that you aren't able to connect with other characters yet is because they haven't been interacting with Jinwoo (MC) yet. Every anime in which people care about other characters is when those characters start interacting with the main character. So it's understandable. You will start liking them in cour 2.
there's nothing in in cour 2 also. new characters and they died instantly, MC keep whooping god tier enemy with ez, strong enemy keep coming. bruh why not the monarch attack the humanity at the first place. with that power they can whoop jinwoo a$$ with ezz
FOR SURE currently The BEST ANIMATIONS OF 2024.......this EPISODE was INSANE!!! The Animations in the fight was like one of the BEST ANIMATIONS I HAVE SEEN TILL NOW! 10/10... A-1 Studios whose name idts many people have heard...is competing with MAPPA,TOEI and UFOTABLE level ANIMATIONS quality which is AMAZING! Really EXCITED to see HOW FAR CAN THIS SERIES Go!?
9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
A1 has way better animation in SAO. Hope they follow SAO level animation in next seasons
nahhh igris and arise is the PEAK of solo leveling, after this just repetitive jinwo whooping god tier monster. nothing interesting with S tier character, new character died instanly (like why u need those new character in the first place) story wisee just mid after mid

They're trying they're best to find s reason to define the adaption trash
Don't worry. It doesn't fall off. Enjoy and stay healthy to live longer. I'm starting soon. It's worth 😅
it doesnt fall off, it just keeps getting better
when i saw the next episode was called "Arise", my heart skipped a beat. It's been a year or two since i read the manhwa, but that single word is like the herald of peak
and as for all the characters you don't have a reason to care about now, they'll be more intwined with the protagonist within, i'd guess, the next 3 episodes or so. it'll also introduce another one i love to bits, we love Beru in this household
13:26 when he realised 🔥🔥
can't wait for the shadow monarch
Been dying to hear those words - " ARISE "
Trust me jumping to other characters is gonna help tons to understand the future of the show, as someone who has read the manwha they are doing a great job protaining everything!
15:00 "Jagoombas" 🤣
Goosebumps came when i saw 'ARISE'
i can tell you that exactly when you said "i dont care about these people", the characters in the scene, you will loooooove them
He said it could be the pinnacle of solo levelling😂😂😂😂... He doesn't have any idea just what's coming
When he said that i instantly remember that solo leveling just keeps getting better throughout the whole series at least in terms of giving chills to the audience. Power fantasy series has a problem that it's get repetitive afterwards and solo leveling is not a exception but Solo Leveling always manages to give you the satisfaction that you want even you know what's going to happen
@@SungJinwoo_. Yes I agree...I still feel the same excitement whenever I re read the manhwa...its artwork is just amazing...the anime is doing really good... But the future fight sequences need to be more well animated which is not very easy task for projects like solo leveling... However still hoping for the best
@@RukshanaBegum-yt1nb After seeing this episode i hope they keep up the quality like they're doing up until now. Now i get it why they were holding back in the animation quality in some fight because in 2nd cour they will have to spend a massive amount of budget to animate those arc's and it's risky because fans expectations are way too much but i hope they will at least do us justice like they did in this episode even if they can't do better than this
The transition that shows other characters actually gives the idea of the time difference between inside dungeon to outside of the dungeon its pretty good details i guess
Fun fact igris holding back😂
Jinwoo have same plot armor
He let him won 😆
Fr. He didn't wanna beat his leige 😂
@@GenuisSocietyNo83Hertayeah he said that in chapter 186
@@iamshadow5340yeah he said that in side story
Igris would've easily won if he used his sword throughout the fight. Jinwoo did state he got lucky.
A1 studios went above and beyond i remember the manwha was hype af picture perfect i think we all were anxious to see how well this would be animated and A1 did not dissapoint in fact the opp also that VA was on some next level and the OST was beutifull
Fun fact: It IS Hiroyuki Sawano-sensei that did the OSTs.
I love that nick's saying he doesn't care about the side characters here when we all know he's gonna cry when this one specific side character dies 😂😂
The villians when they have been kicking jin woos ass for the past 10 minutes but he gets a powerup just by shouting 😮😮🤯😱😱😱
Not the power up but the iq of how to defeat Igris cuz he got some free time
And why the villan give him the free time ? Just bcz he was not ordered to kill him
stay mad he didnt get a power up lmao he baited igris into thinking that was the end
He litterally caught Igris lacking
He baired him into thinking he was done, that is prob why he could catch that blade slash (also specific gloves to negate damage), no need to go full power on dead meat, then he stabbed him on the eye off guard.
Besides Igris was holding back overall
And in the other fights where the villan was stronger he aimed for weak spots and used BIQ and Hax, so what you talking abt
Yall taking this way too seriously lmao. If u couldn't tell, I'm joking but it is kind of funny since this sort of thing does happen in solo leveling a lot.
bro took all his words back immediately
My boy igris is here!
i havent been hooked on a anime this much since AOT, as soon as the episode finishes i check up on reviews LOL
Trust me this is nowhere near the pinnacle infact this is where it started to catch my interest...It only begins to go up from here
Don't care what the haters think bro, keep doing you, you're an amazing reactor. There's a reason why you're close to 1MIL subs. I appreciate the content man 🔥
It’s gets so much crazier after this. I literally have to read the Manhwa again to get my anticipation on cool down fr.
Can’t wait for episode 12, the episode I have been waiting for YEARS
This channel is inspiring, thanks for encouraging me to start my own channel!!!!
The blue knight 🙂... He doesn't know what he just said😊😂
This shit is fire 🔥🔥🔥 I'm so hyped
Igris raised the definition of brutal to a new height.
9:30 Just wanted to say, if someone did try that to these two....even if they stood still they wouldn't even get a paper cut's worth of damage!
15:27 "its like an attack on titan ost is this hiryuki sawano?" yes it is lmao
Us manwha fans of Solo leveling will defend it to the day we die because we had the same reaction you did to that fight
"i bet this was the peak of solo levelling" oh brother just 1 more episode, just 1 more
Nick saying I don't care about these side characters my mind instantly replied you'll soon just keep watching these 12 episodes are literally just the beginning of story
Nick, for the record, WE LOVE YOUR HONEST REACTIONS. Any fandom has haters so we can't help it, but I hope you'll overcome them haters. Nevermind them as long you enjoy what you do!
we need the fate animation team to hope on for season 2
Ufotable🙏🏼 A-1 pictures did an AMAZING job on this but Ufotable is also a good studio. Just hope Bones or Mappa doesn’t get a hold of it 😂😭
There will be too much CGI thrn
You want CGI BERU? Than yes
Uframetable CGI impact lmao
Then Its gonna be CGI Leveling
also Fate animation Team?? what is bro yapping about
Solo Leveling Studio is also did Fate, Its Fate Strange Fake, Fate Apocrypha, Fate Grand Order Babylonia and Fate Grand Order PV
IM TALKING ABOUT A-1 STUDIO [ THEY MADE FATE GRAND ORDER ]
Bro isn't ready. This is quite literally the beginning.
The best i swear 💜 Igris is awesome, i recently read the manga after i watched the first 6 episode of Solo Leveling, and it sucked me in. I needed to know everything. Sung is absolutely my favourite right now. 💜💜💜🔥
I love how Igris reminded me of how Gold Saints used to battle back in Knights of the Zodiac good days. I also struggle with the lack of depth/exploration of other characters in this anime, the animation and action scenes are top notch though.
Mah boi igris let you win remember that woo woo 😂
-my daily quest ahhh who else forget to do dailies 😆
“the greatest animation in the series”
bro was so close yet so far ☠️
It's crazy that A1 is actually doing a way better job developing these side characters compared to the manhwa, in the manhwa every single other character has essentially 0 screen time in these episodes, and when they do appear later on they feel like fodder. Honestly, I applaud them for trying
this episode was absolutely insane... 😭😭😭😭🔥🔥 it had me goin crazyy 😭🙏
I believe that you aren't able to connect with other characters yet is because they haven't been interacting with Jinwoo (MC) yet. Every anime in which people care about other characters is when those characters start interacting with the main character. So it's understandable. You will start liking them in cour 2.
there's nothing in in cour 2 also. new characters and they died instantly, MC keep whooping god tier enemy with ez, strong enemy keep coming. bruh why not the monarch attack the humanity at the first place. with that power they can whoop jinwoo a$$ with ezz
these 12 episodes are literally the prologue the real manhwa started cooking after igris fight
No sé nada de inglés pero me gusta tu reacción
This is the actual beginning of the show.
FOR SURE currently The BEST ANIMATIONS OF 2024.......this EPISODE was INSANE!!!
The Animations in the fight was like one of the BEST ANIMATIONS I HAVE SEEN TILL NOW!
10/10...
A-1 Studios whose name idts many people have heard...is competing with MAPPA,TOEI and UFOTABLE level ANIMATIONS quality which is AMAZING!
Really EXCITED to see HOW FAR CAN THIS SERIES Go!?
A1 has way better animation in SAO. Hope they follow SAO level animation in next seasons
This is where Solo Leveling begins.This is not even close to its peak XD
Straight 🔥
You will care about them later. When the characters start having their times.
is only getting better form here
nahhh igris and arise is the PEAK of solo leveling, after this just repetitive jinwo whooping god tier monster. nothing interesting with S tier character, new character died instanly (like why u need those new character in the first place) story wisee just mid after mid
