@M1kasaYu1 If you read solo leveling you will understand why its not popular in japan. by next season when they cover jeju arc it is where the theme get sensitive as the series turn very nationalistic by making japanese characters as enemies and weak. a-1 might be changing a lot of stuff in season 3 guaranteed to avoid being targeted.
| @Gilgamesh-71 nah the Japanese S-Ranks are portrayed as stronger than their Korean counterparts. |

| Great first episode, especially the Igris scene. I'm so glad A-1 is the studio adapting SL, the show is in good hands. Promising start, can't wait for the next episode |
| If you win, you live, if you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win. |
| I dislike Solo Leveling's material far more than Tower of God's but in terms of adaptation levels, this episode alone looked a million times better than all of Tower of God season 2 in all aspects. Season 1 was very popular and it is an Aniplex, A-1 Pictures show so it's not a surprise but just watching this after finishing the other show from the previous season really shows a stark difference there. There's more mindless action, more Sawano songs which sound the exact same as thousands made before, and Jin-woo's bland personality becoming more and more OP in the process in a different setting. It's more Solo Leveling and it's confident about what it is, whether people are able to really enjoy this or not. |
| They did a great job of improving the visuals. Apparently the artists were also 'leveling' between seasons. |
| Wtf is "Come out?" Whatever happened to good ol' 'Arise'? Or even 'Erect'? Still, the scenes looked dope as hell though, especially considering the drip. Makes what happened to ToG feel all the more bad to me. Also, I just can't look at Jinah the same way after all those Sister Leveling dubs. |

| A great first episode back into Solo levelling, Honestly im only here for the mc and the fights the story itself isn't really that interesting but it's well thought out and does what its meant to perfectly. Great first episode into s2 |
| there were lot's of fillers this episode, and very little info was given, apart from the portal and the arrival of the antagonist, and the boss of the portal. It's a bit of a disappointing start and too many questions that could've been answered but they just put fillers. 3/5 |

| Peak is back! I was hoping for a 2-episode special...a little disappointed for getting my hopes up, but just having this back has already got the ball rolling. Although I only wasn't really a big fan of the OP song featuring Felix of Stray Kids...it just sounds too...different? I don't know, it just sounds too deep. Not sure how to express it, but I rather have it all LiSA or another vocalist that's more in-line with matches those deep tones. Going to miss Krage singing the ED theme, but a new season means new songs. |
| Amazing start to the season |
| I was worried that this would start slowly with a long unnecessary recap or something. But thankfully this is already firing on all cylinders, because that was a great first episode. Seeing the soldiers and Ignis in action for the first time under Jin was awesome to see. Knowing that Ignis is likely still stronger than Jin is interesting, but at least he has someone as strong as he is as a backup if he needs it. The only negative is the fact I have to wait a week for the next episode. |
| Oh no in anime Igris isn't carrying that bear head and walking to SJW with visible blood trail, the only nitpick I have so far x) I don't know why but I thought the pacing in anime would be slower [It is hard to convey Manhwa to Anime pacing] but with that episode I am not surprised of trailers and opening showing the Kargalgan and Demon Castle, I guess they'll try speed up for Jeju since they do that from last season, I wish Beru gonna be in this season. So next episode will Iron and Baruka [don't look those up as you might get spoilered]. @nvxiis They were portrayed like that cause of sparrings, but Jeju island and later Japan Crisis made a different view, not surprised of hearing that SL ain't popular in Japan. [I guess in Canada it should have been worse, those whom read up to the finale knows what I mean] |

| Masterpiece of a first episode. That song with the Igris fight, the opening, THE ENDING, how badass Himwoo was throughout the whole episode, didn't expect that VA for Hwang, which is one of my favorites, and the fact that we're already talking about Jeju's ants. Can't wait for the upcoming episodes! |
| As always, solo being amazing The animation is good, the anime itself is not too slow and gets straight to the point, which can sometimes be a bad thing, but I can't say, for now doing this is the best option (in my opinion) so that you can go faster things are unnecessary, but when it's an arc that really needs time, then fitting in with the time is the best option (Not rushing so fast in a specific arc in this case) That's all, perfect start of the anime |
| Expects to be there a month, dies in the first hour. Wow A-ranks are stupid. |
| I know everyone has already gushed over it but, as a manga reader (I'm not one,) that Igris fight must have been so awesome. Just the sound of him walking through the snow in that full plate mail to kill the bear. Then, it's basically just one attack, *incapacitated*, and then he's actually so damn confident that he just casually walks around her before coming back with the stare. That animation just sold "impending doom" like practically no other. |

@CLaNLoRrD A1 picture actually makes a lot of very questionable choices about the adaptation, especially the director seems to fail to capture the true essence of Solo leveling, it would have been better if another studio or another staff took care of it
| @Leon888 To me it doesn't seem like Solo Leveling suffers from the "bad adaption syndrome" like God of Highschool, Noblesse, Tower of God etc. Sure they skipped some dialogues and scenes, or rearranged them, but it's a really well made adaption so far. Plus the animation, music, art style, voice acting, sound design is all on point. The pacing feels good as well. |
| If you win, you live, if you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win. |
| This episode retained pretty much the same qualities and flaws from season 1, but at least it's a solid anime. I just wonder how those guys didn't die from eating that bear meat. |

| @ManoCustaff You mean bear meat in general? There's nothing wrong with that, I've had it. You just have to cook it through, and to be honest, even if you don't, the chances of actually catching trichinosis are pretty damn low. |
