This was phenomenal. They absolutely nailed the statue’s evil grin and the fear he gave. I’m glad that they’re also keeping it as brutal and bloody as the manhwa. Hearing Jin Woo’s inner dialogue at the end was crazy, his va absolutely crushed it.
I have to agree, his anger towards the others for leaving and being weaker than he was was absolutely insane, the va did an amazing job. The statue’s grin had me so shocked, I kept seeing comments about how the first episode should’ve ended with it and now I see why!!!😨
His anger wasn't towards the others it was mostly about himself because he said "At least only me have to die" as the other's run out. And then he calls out the hypocrisy in himself and others they said they have a family while crying and abandoned the rest. And then he stayed behind willingly and it hit him he was a hypocrite he felt the same way they felt he wanted to live as well he is no hero he didn't protect any1 and was gona die for nothing u even have a monologue explaining all of it while Jin is screaming in the back ground getting massacreed ny the statues he calls himself a hypocrite for acting like a hero when he wanted to live as well but it was to late now he also called every1 else selfish for abandoning him and only thinking about themselves talking about their families and justifying their selfishness. My man Jin stays tru to what he said in that moment the entire series. Its about him and his family first anything else comes second. It don't matter that jin is the good guy. He isn't the typical ill give u a second chance and let u live kind of MC. There are ppl who tried to take away from him in the manwah....and lets say...He deals with them Like an actual Based MC would after hearing that monologue@@skyicy7383
His last name is Sung and international fans usually call him by his full name, Sung Jin-woo, or by his first name, Jin-woo. Or Sung Drip-woo. 😂 This wait is gonna be grueling. I wish they dropped all the eps at once like Netflix does.
It's been leaked online that the first season is split into two cours (3-month long periods), so ep 12 will come out at the end of March and A-1 Pictures will take at least a three month-long break. Then eps 13-24 will hopefully air from July to September. So your daughter will have to wait at least 8 months for the whole first season to come out. :S @@Desaundrea
I know, I'm dying to see the rest of the first season unfold lol. I guess the upside to weekly releases is that we have something to look forward to on Saturdays instead of binging 12 eps over a day and then dying inside until July lmao.@kyrrrrrr
Sung drip-woo. I was honestly shocked at how detailed and how close it resembled the actual panel from the manhwa I was skeptical but I’m sure they will nail the action scenes and resemble the manhwa art
“if this anime didn’t have any hype around it, it still would’ve done good“ couldn’t have said it any better these first 2 episodes have been phenomenal
THE PLAYER IS HERE. The anime did so much justice to the manhwa, perfect adaption so far. This manhwa is a beautiful collection of hype and badass moments with cool fights. Looking forward to the next reactions Edit: Steph figured pretty much the entire leveling idea
They absolutely nailed the evil grin from the statue and the fear it gave off plus Drip Woos inner monologue from the VA was fucking amazing as a manwha/LN reader they are nailing it so far
Funny how you said "ah, he is fine" right after seeing he had lost "only" a leg during the second commandment, clueless of what would happen at the end , great reaction guys
Awakened people who goes into dungeon are called "hunter" (they don't have game-like UI, they don't level up, etc.), but there he was offered to be a "player".
I always love your reactions. When this show released the first ep, I was anticipating your reactions (cause your TOG one was amazing). And I know you'll love this, I'm glad you did! So excited for ep 3! You'll love his journey for sure.
They made it more brutal compared to Manhwa, and I hope it stays like that until the end. I'm really curious on how brutal they're going to make it when Kargalgan (Tusk) plays with an A-Rank hunter like a fking ragdoll.
You two will love it. It was a webtoon that was adapted into a manga and now anime. BELIEVE THE HYPE! The story line is incredible and the characters are amazing. Be careful of spoilers 😁
He was saved because the last blue flame blew off before he was gonna get crushed. If all of them stayed until all the blue flames blew off they all would've got the same power as Jin Woo..
its like a lot of manhwas where the mc gets like side quest to become like an overpowered main character with really strong magic, Or something like becoming a leader in a gang by doing quest that will get you higher among people, also like you said isekaid animes where they are reborn and they can view their stats and become stronger by doing quest, like sao he didn't get isekaid but he was able to be a player and level up his skills. I'm not the type to read but i think ill be getting the first 7 volumes, There's a lot to expect from this anime and i hope we can all enjoy it together.
Many Korean Manhwa have a game theme, here are some examples/recommendations: Hardcore Leveling Warrior +99 Reinforced Wooden Stick Omniscient Reader (made by the same people who made Solo Leveling) Just A Goblin
I feel like the other hunters are basically NPCs, characters with a fixed level, and by becoming a player, Sung will be able to level up and gain experience
it will explain in next episode how other hunters sometimes evolve too...just keep watching😅but ofc only mc can lv. up his status...others different type of evolve😅and yes they will explain why he is given this abilities after so many season😅
The reason solo levelingg got so much hype is because solo leveling actually had a pretty big fan base way before it got animated although i am happy cuz this anime brought more of the spot light to the story now you got new people binge reading the source material i am happy
The composer of the opening is Hiroyuki Sawano if you want to look him up! You will be able to tell when something is composed by him because his style is really unique, to the point that most of his works sounds the same... but it's still good.
You guys miss the part where it said "it was an altar" which would mean some kind of sacrifice was needed. Meaning to prove your faith. So there’s more chance of you dying if you stayed bcuz the guards were closing in that could only mean one thing in my opinion. Also idk if you saw the detail when that women left, the door closed a little.
After that attack on titan "rumbling" the legend says that in the last minutes it was actually eren that sung saw in the corner and that motivated him to fight : Tatakawanakereba katenai. Tatakae! Tatakaun da yo!
Yooo this comment is killing me 😂😂😂 cause yesterday when I watched it with my bro we were like “he dead if you don’t move like bleach characters or other blink movement characters you ain’t surviving” 😂😂 but your comment wins cause soooo truee 😂
The trap in the final stage was that the door only stayed open if at least one person was at the alter, so if they all ran when the door opened it would have closed and they probably would have died.
when they were left with 3 people in the circle, the thing is there are not enough eyes to keep on the statues, so gonna gonna take the chance to leave.
Hiroyuki Sawano will take on tasks related to music and ost.. it's not strange that the ost we hear on Solo Leveling makes we goosebumps!!!! Now we got Aot version ❤
Then last scenes with the notification is supposed to be this fast a some will be shown on the next episode. It's here mostly to create confusion on the watcher and have a cliffhanger for the next episode :)
We the boys just called him jinwoo, cuz there is so many similarities of the name sung + song 😂 (the captain are named song while jinwoo first name are sung)
This was phenomenal. They absolutely nailed the statue’s evil grin and the fear he gave. I’m glad that they’re also keeping it as brutal and bloody as the manhwa. Hearing Jin Woo’s inner dialogue at the end was crazy, his va absolutely crushed it.
VA absolutely WENT OFF! And I’ve been told he’s never had a lead role before???
I have to agree, his anger towards the others for leaving and being weaker than he was was absolutely insane, the va did an amazing job. The statue’s grin had me so shocked, I kept seeing comments about how the first episode should’ve ended with it and now I see why!!!😨
is the thing about the va coughing blood after this true?
@@gregerysstuntdouble2992 I’m not sure. I’ve heard the same but haven’t seen a source behind it.

funniest part! 14:14
"The blue flame is gonna go out and he's gonna end up surviving, WATCH!"
Jin-woo gets impaled.
Or when the shield drops "na he's the MC, he's fine"
Technically, he did survive after the last blue flame goes out. How else was he given the opportunity to accept the role of a player?
@@rurouniji disliked your comment did you see that
@@jah_idklol
@@rurounij i know. but he didn't know that for sure at the time. the timing is just so funny for me hahahaha.
The journey from "Dudeeee it blew off his legs" to "Wait his body is blown only legs are left" was phenomenal.
in the edit community we will call that "he blew off his legs but in invert"
His last name is Sung and international fans usually call him by his full name, Sung Jin-woo, or by his first name, Jin-woo. Or Sung Drip-woo. 😂 This wait is gonna be grueling. I wish they dropped all the eps at once like Netflix does.
Netflix also drop only one per week, so no dice there
My daughter said the same. She won’t watch it until all episodes for season 1 are uploaded.
Strange, they used to do binge releases like for Squid Game. They only release weekly for all of their titles now?@@raynasmite1531

Agree
It's gonna be hard or impossible to animate multiple monsters and shadow soldiers moving at the same time tho
@@ousmaailayoub5727it will be hard but i really hope they take there time cuz this story has so much potential
3:40 bro was so confident in his legs that his legs were the only part of him left 😅
Absolute comedy lmao
"god" was like aite
"You seem to be proud of these legs" -Sauceke Uchiha
@@thelegacyofgaming2928who did Sasuke tell it to? Been a long time since I’ve watched Naruto content 🤔🤔.
7:23 "babe, we would have been dead with our hands up" caugh me off guard 😂😂😂😂
These episodes be soo good now we gotta wait another week damn 😂
No you dont the Manghwa is fully colored.
@@Onepiecefan95we wanna see it animated tho😂
@@Onepiecefan95 bro i read it 6 years ago, i want to watch anime now
@@Onepiecefan95bruh
“if this anime didn’t have any hype around it, it still would’ve done good“ couldn’t have said it any better these first 2 episodes have been phenomenal
The statue scene with the musicc was EPIC !!!, especially when the singing angel kicked in, i had shivers
First dude got packed up like Crash Bandicoot hitting a Nitro box 😭
"WOAH!"
I was waiting for you guys to post this im hype to see your reaction Solo leveling is just getting started you have no idea how Good this is ❤
Honestly I would of been dead from when that thing stood up, heart attack would of took me to the after life due to pure fear 😂😂
I've waited five years for this anime and it's delivering for sure!!!!!!!
8:28 The soundtrack synchronize with the activation of statues was such genius move
"dude it blew off his legs"
"wait" (visible confusion)
"it blew off his entire body"
THE PLAYER IS HERE. The anime did so much justice to the manhwa, perfect adaption so far. This manhwa is a beautiful collection of hype and badass moments with cool fights. Looking forward to the next reactions
Edit: Steph figured pretty much the entire leveling idea
4:41 Huge reference to Dina Fritz (Smiley Titan).
They absolutely nailed the evil grin from the statue and the fear it gave off plus Drip Woos inner monologue from the VA was fucking amazing as a manwha/LN reader they are nailing it so far

Great reaction guys yes that opening and the OST is fire for this anime. I just started reading the light novel.
I always love your reactions. When this show released the first ep, I was anticipating your reactions (cause your TOG one was amazing). And I know you'll love this, I'm glad you did! So excited for ep 3! You'll love his journey for sure.
I can't wait to hear sung jin woo say "Arise"
That'll break the Internet on god 😂
That happens next episode ? This season or later ? sounds like some heat
OKIRU.....
@@exnozgaming5657it happens around episode 7 or 9 of this season
already heard it from a game trailer, tbh it couldve been worse
Mel was spot on with the Outro hinting the whole "Solo Leveling thing" keep the nice predictions coming🔥
Your reaction was so enjoyable and probably the best
I am so glad they kept all the bloody parts as it was, it's gonna be a banger for sure
They made it more brutal compared to Manhwa, and I hope it stays like that until the end. I'm really curious on how brutal they're going to make it when Kargalgan (Tusk) plays with an A-Rank hunter like a fking ragdoll.

Thank you for posting the Solo leveling reaction video! 🔥😊
He was saved because the last blue flame blew off before he was gonna get crushed. If all of them stayed until all the blue flames blew off they all would've got the same power as Jin Woo..
Wishing Mel a speedy recovery 🙏🏽.
Feeling relieved about the quality so far. I hope it maintains the high production value it deserves.
The episode was: RUMBLING, RUMBLING, IT'S COMING, RUMBLING. BEWAAAAAAARE!
the main character reminds me of Arisu from alice in borderland
Jin Woo is the goat.
(Btw that’s what he’s usually called. Jin Woo)
They definitely stole that smile from the smiling titan 😅
They were right about the sacrifice part. When the door opens someone had to sacrifice themselves so that the orders can leave
its like a lot of manhwas where the mc gets like side quest to become like an overpowered main character with really strong magic, Or something like becoming a leader in a gang by doing quest that will get you higher among people, also like you said isekaid animes where they are reborn and they can view their stats and become stronger by doing quest, like sao he didn't get isekaid but he was able to be a player and level up his skills.

Many Korean Manhwa have a game theme, here are some examples/recommendations:
Hardcore Leveling Warrior
+99 Reinforced Wooden Stick
Omniscient Reader (made by the same people who made Solo Leveling)
Just A Goblin

The music composer for solo leveling osts is the same guy that worked on AOT, which is why there’s such a similarity in the background music
Bro got extra spice levelled up at the end like KFC fried chicken wings 😂
i told u id be here for the whole series, lets gooo this ep was insane
Sung Drip-woo is about to go wild 🛐
this gonna get much more fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The reason solo levelingg got so much hype is because solo leveling actually had a pretty big fan base way before it got animated although i am happy cuz this anime brought more of the spot light to the story now you got new people binge reading the source material i am happy
Another peak episode 🔥🔥
The artist for Solo leveling is Jang Sung-Rak he passed away 2 years ago due to health issues.
i like you guys' reaction, you guys are not judging the show already because it's too early. You guys are just curious and invested in it.
MY “RED KNIGHT” IN THE OPENING 😭🙏
And LETS GO. It’s actually making me feel the same hype I got every week when I first read this series 😭🙏
The music in this anime sounds like the rumbling is about to happen at any moments is amazing.
The music is done by the same guy who did AOT
That's how you smile when the last discount item you got it 😂😂😂😂😂
The composer of the opening is Hiroyuki Sawano if you want to look him up! You will be able to tell when something is composed by him because his style is really unique, to the point that most of his works sounds the same... but it's still good.
Brilliant episode. Absolutely brilliant.
This definitely has the potential to be one of the greatest
7:42 its SUNG, not SUN btw haha.
Sung Jin-woo.
You guys miss the part where it said "it was an altar" which would mean some kind of sacrifice was needed. Meaning to prove your faith.

The secret quest "The Courage of the Weak".
ARISE!!! My fellow Solo Levelers.
After that attack on titan "rumbling" the legend says that in the last minutes it was actually eren that sung saw in the corner and that motivated him to fight : Tatakawanakereba katenai. Tatakae! Tatakaun da yo!
man i'm excited for this anime
The Group from the Intro is a famous K-Pop ( Korean -Pop ) named Tomorrow x Together, their also did a Black Clover OP already, they are awesome
So many of us are gonna die in the mind games in that freaking dungeon. Jin Woo is smart
Bro run so fast he forgot his legs bro 💀💀😂
He will be a player of the system. This is 🔥
This is not a game , but he will get powers in real life as a game system tells him what to do and gives him some quests
Solo Leveling is same studio with Sword Art Online ❤
The cocept of Solo Leveling is a unique concept you will see in the next episode
3:37 "If the cameraman can see you, you are not fast enough."

Yooo this comment is killing me 😂😂😂 cause yesterday when I watched it with my bro we were like “he dead if you don’t move like bleach characters or other blink movement characters you ain’t surviving” 😂😂 but your comment wins cause soooo truee 😂
Gotta love Son and Joey, my favorite solo leveling characters
Btw txt is one of the biggest K-pop groups atm
The VA actually coughed BLOOD after this episode
He lost a leg from the shield statue.. He narrowly escaped this god's stomp while crawling without one leg
The trap in the final stage was that the door only stayed open if at least one person was at the alter, so if they all ran when the door opened it would have closed and they probably would have died.
Y'all are not ready for peak
MC reminds me of Arisu from Alice in Borderland
*SOLO LEVELING PEAK‼️*
This is heat. Coming from a manwa reader i couldn't be happier!
subbed for solo leveling reactions
TXT (Tomorrow x Together) is one of the more popular kpop boy bands.
when they were left with 3 people in the circle, the thing is there are not enough eyes to keep on the statues, so gonna gonna take the chance to leave.
Hiroyuki Sawano will take on tasks related to music and ost.. it's not strange that the ost we hear on Solo Leveling makes we goosebumps!!!! Now we got Aot version ❤
"Bae we would of been dead" 😂😂😂😂
Amazing episode. I got chills.
the manhwa of Solo Leveling is insanely the best i've seen
Btw don’t worry about more censoring scene on the future episode, cuz it mostly monster killing instead of human
4:41 That smile gives me flashbacks of the Smiling Titan in Attack on Titan season 1. 😱
Let the Drip woo saga begin
Player = a vessel for one of the angels.
the praise song is epic though
Then last scenes with the notification is supposed to be this fast a some will be shown on the next episode. It's here mostly to create confusion on the watcher and have a cliffhanger for the next episode :)
Well to be fair the community usually calls him Jinwoo, not Sung
Sung is his last name Jinwoo is his name
We the boys just called him jinwoo, cuz there is so many similarities of the name sung + song 😂 (the captain are named song while jinwoo first name are sung)
the birth of the next shadow monarch
Yes the Iconic smile
Word of year 2024..."ARISE"
Loved the manwha loving the anime! Can’t wait to see the reactions going forward!
10:36
The manhwa introduce MC'S mom until Jin Woo obtain powerful potion. So I don't think the anime should introduce his mom too soon.
3:36 Steph 😂
Legendary smile 🤣🤣
