so basically, jin woo had been working hard since way young, and before that they werent well off either, so he straight up never played games himself. pretty sure thats whats up there
@crashtither6816 This comment isn't really replying to my post in any direct way, but i guess im glad you aren't really spoiling? Saying that the reason is different than we'd think is actually already a spoiler, though.
2:51 i think that second awakening was so strong it affected the people watching the show and dropped their iq by like 40% 1. Jinwoo was always working, his family poor, never had time to play games, while his sister who can't work has all the time in the world to game 2. The screen wasn't even touchscreen. He was asking how to open the inbox cuz CLICKING ON THE ICON sure as hell wouldn't work (turns out he had to say the specific words since it's voice activated
0:47 It's not left for interpretation though. It has been mentioned many times that double awakening is super rare and what our protagonist has is unheard of. Yeah sure you can still think there might be other players but as far as the story goes it has been quite consistent in portraying that he is the only one levelling up.
I am pretty sure where this season of the anime is going to end story wise and I swear to God, if they don't announce the second season this year I will wreck things.
@@chazhartwayne6493 it'll have a second cour like bleach and spy family cus looking at the first teaser trailer you can see cour 2 jin woo which you will not catch in cour 1
I think they'll do a S1 part 2 because they have had so much delay. They finished season 1 from last year so all they probably need to do is touch up some stuff then rest up and go again. Hopefully
solo leveling is like reading a fanfiction of your favorite anime where the mc gets op fast and kicks all the annoying characters asses or trolls them.
@@Knives7777 imo thats the real reason its so popular even though its so generic. but the thing is its generic for fanfiction stories. guy gets system and reincarnates into anime world and becomes op fast rinse and repeat. the thing is that formula is addicting to read. not the system specifically but the going into an anime world thats already been made. solo leveling is just the first to have that theme and get an anime out of it. a returners magic should be special also has an anime but has nowhere near the same vibe solo leveling does.
jdog i dunno if u read the manwha, i did. as of right now, he is mid b-rank, and not OP at all. the reason people like the manwha so much is because you see sung’s power increase over time. i think it was like chapter 100 or maybe after where sung becomes an S-rank. compared to other power fantasies, sung increases in power slow. it’s obviously a power fantasy, so ofc he is powerful as hell, but the fights are still so good at the end.
Bet on everything you change your mind from 9 to 10 after ep 7 or when this story starts hitting deep. The story is deep but not confusing its smooth lol

Hummmm, A-1 would need to up their game to ufotable levels, and also do the ENTIRE thing, including the epilogue side stories (and even teasing with adapting the sequel). So far, I don't think so. I LOVE Solo Leveling, huge fan, but it's just a power fantasy done extremely well. I'm a novel and manhwa reader, and I think that to reach even Top 50 it would need even better animation, and improving the weaker points of the story, like the complete lack of attention to other characters besides Jinwoo. Yes, the anime is doing that so far, but they would need to keep it up.
@@SenseiAgot i agree on so many of your points. i dont think ufotable is THaaaaaaaat good at their anime but still they have some really good ones like demon slayer. the power fantasy part of it is just 60 percent of him levelling up and getting cool rewards and theres not much world building. A-1 is doing a good job on adapting especially on how weak the manhwa does things ( still love it tho wont lie) and the manhwa isnt even the original release as the LN is and thats what a-1 is using so i have no idea if thats the reaosn why the story is slightly better than the manhwa because i dont read LN only read cool images with text 😎
I think it’ll peak at one punch man type of hype. There’s not much character development in this to contend with more well written stories. One punch is all about the craziness of Saitama. This is all about the craziness of jinwoo. If we could’ve seen how Saitama got so strong, this is what it would feel like, in my opinion. The big difference being the lack of comedy. The seriousness is why this feels more epic but people are def going to start having conversations about how strong he is versus other characters when it’s all said and done.
The DARK ARIA song was made by Sawano Hiroyuki. He's also the producer of the Attack on Titan soundtrack, for all seasons. He's my favorite music producer, and we all ate a FEAST with another one of his bangers.
0:09 AYOO? WHAT? Joohee is a B-rank healer so she is pretty strong. The problem is when she awakened she was a normal college girl who got thrown into a world where limbs are getting chopped off and people getting Eaten all the time it was too much for her. So she was doing Low-rank D and E dungeons so she doesn't have to see that shit because those dungeons are SAFE RIGHT? RIGHT?... ENTER CARTENON TEMPLE... you cant blame her dawg now she tripple Traumatized. Daggers are from Wallmart bruh chill homie is on a budget
Without diving to far into spoiler territory, behind the scenes there are far more powerful opponents. As Jin guessed the creator of the dungeon wants him alive and is trying to make him strong. As for the specifics you should read the manhwa or wait for it to be animated. The story isn't particularly revolutionary but it does lead to a grand scheme of sorts, the art is what really made it stand out, and in this case A1 feels like they are doing a bang up job. The VA and Music is also amazing and is icing on the cake.
the proper term for business pants are called slacks because they grant the least protection as loosely woven. khakis however are stronger but they aren't tough like jeans
The Korean word in the title gets translated in a lot of works as "Solo" but can more literally be translated as "I alone can..." So, the title itself answers the question. Only he can level. It is a unique ability.
You should definitely read the manhwa, because it’s like amazing, but if you want to learn the story at the pace of the anime go for it, oh, and trust me it gets deep.
Jin Woo is a Savage. He is on of the most OP characters, but he is Awesome. This comic and this show get better as they go and he Levels up. It's awesome how after he reawakens no one knows how powerful he is until they fuck around and find out.
As someone who’s read the manhwa at least like 5 times fully now It’s so good to see it finally animated and the world seeing the masterpiece this story is.
U brought up a really good point at the very beginning ab them leaving stuff up for interpretation… I’m pretty good(some would say annoyingly good) at predicting the plot of a show or movie, but during solo leveling I had like 3 different ways the story could go and none of them were right.
If you thought this was epic, wait until you see what's next and its near cuz that blows this out of the water. The ep 6 moment wasn't even remembered by many in the manhwa cuz it was overshadowed by the scenes later to come
Whole time bro was literally there to HOLD THE MINING EQUIPMENT. Like he’s literally holding it on his back when they are talking about going back to get the mining equipment. I was like hold up hold hold uppppp
you are in for a very amazing story you said you didnt know if it was gonna be consistantly a super deep story it IS wait till the mid to late arks shit is a 1 of 1 manhwa and hopefully is fleshed out as well as the manhwa>>>
Y’all sub to the podcast @senpaisayspodcast I appreciate it!
“niggas look down on me, but i’m the one looking up”. casually drops one of the hardest quotes i needed to hear bro thank u

His dad disappeared while he was still a teenager inside a dungeon, so yeah, he's not familiar with videogames.
well the reason its in video game style is completely different than what you guys think, but i won't spoil ;)
@@crashtither6816 yeah, don't spoil it, because that's precisely the mistery of the story.
@@crashtither6816 tbh i read the manhwa but i forgot the answer to why it was i dont remember it being that important

JUHEE IS THE TRUTH!!! She was there for our boy when he was the KING OF SCRUBS!!!
24:15 I'm sorry but i laughed so hard when you said that you can see where the show is going😂😂😂 omg y'all are NOT READY and I'm loving it
They don't have any idea. Jin Woo is cold asf, this whole show and Jin Woo gonna get crazy. Love it!
@@garylyons6457 But the ending is so fucking bad that i wish they make a new one or just dont adapt it.
arise brudda
@@sh0ck3d24 Yeah true... They need to work on that ending
@@sh0ck3d24 I really liked the ending. A bit too rushed but the idea was great imo and it made sense, also the epilogue gave a very nice conclusion.
Y'ALL NOT READY FOR THE GRAND MARSHALL!
They ain't prepared for best girl igris
They are not ready for the architect fight
They're not ready for Jeju arc and Beru🗿
THEY AINT READY FOR FUCKING SHIT

🤓☝ - this you?
@@littlebigcubing6062what you're saying is an indirect way of confirming that there are no other players, wtf
@@oscarardon6197it's kinda obvious, the show is called solo leveling SOLO leveling
@@Zero-ve1ey I know, I'm caught up on the story
They blasted him he got up and they still thought they had that "with the power of friendship" ahh bandits
Yup lol
The pacing is better in the manhwa, but I’m so glad it’s getting animated. It’s like watching the story level up from platforms.
It's both manwha and LN so the story is a little longer with more detail

In the source material he knew dongsuk was gonna betray him and was excited for it bc it meant more xp
3:50 bro i almost spit my water when that showed up 💀💀
Fr bro 😂
As someone who read the manwha 3 years ago it gets so much more complex you don't even know😭
15:30 "He's Hot"😭
You Goated w these reviews bro keep going!
The fact he got to keep his hair and Saitama didn't is wild😭

The anime is both LN and manwha so it gets deeper
I've never read a manhwa or manga before.....until Solo Leveling

sung-drip-woo is stunning at the end of ep7 the fits r coming
Super fun video bro!
It’s nice seeing ppl enjoy it.. from someone that read the manhwa when it was still releasing .. this will only get better
"he so weak that if he walked on the beach he probably wouldnt even make in imprint in the sand" is crazy
the proper term for business pants are called slacks because they grant the least protection as loosely woven. khakis however are stronger but they aren't tough like jeans
You got no business bring this hilarious😂 100/10 vid
y’all are not ready for the Je Ju Island arc
3:50 NAHHH THAT SHIT HAD ME DEAD

Damn, him saying it isn't gonna get complicated is crazy. My man has no idea lmao
16:42 to my understanding the full recovery was a bonus from doing dailies that he hadn’t cashed in yet.
Oh heck nah. That Muay Thai you did 😂. Gotta put that bag higher
I know we were gonna switch it some time this week I’m to tall for it 🤣

Its so funny, because Jinwoos manna stat was on 7 before, so it DID increase xD
I’m just mad it’s only gonna be 12 episodes. Hopefully they don’t mess up the pacing
I've this before and I'll say it against, you voice is so chill and calming you're such a breath of fresh air.
*"this, is my solo leveling"*
😂😂😂😂
22:00 - 22:31 is the best. Hwang Dongsuk is the goat for real, name wise.
Cour. 2 Animation is gonna get this man in a Animatiogasm😭
Sung Jin Woo is the coldest main character of all time
Can't wait for next episode
12:49 why is nobody talking about these subtitles😭😭😭

Yeah but what's that drop at the 20:50 mark
Love that beat
Sung Jin woo watchu gonna do😂😂😂😂
This will probably be anime of the year unless jjk miraculously comes out this year 😭🙏🏽
Good shit bro 😂 subscribed
Good commentary, funny vibe, you just earned a sub
