    It is hilarious how so many fans complain about it going slowly. I am not bothered at all. Giving the world more depths draws you in more. I give it a 6.5 because the dialog in the limo was just a bit too exposition-y, it did not seem like a conversation two real people would have.

      I personally don't mind a slow pace if it's done well, which I think it is in Solo Leveling. My only issue really is we are only getting 13 episodes now with one being a filler and the others come sometime later.
      I am just not a fan of this split season stuff.

    I'd give the most recent episode a solid 8.5/10 (writing before watching past the past episodes rating card).
    For starters I really like how they've emphasized that while Sung Jingwoo is at least trying to keep a low profile, everyone who knows him sees that something has happened. In particular I liked how Sing had questioned about his leg that had gotten chopped, only for Jinwoo to answer in half that he had awoken in the hospital with it intact. My father also commented it seems that after the incident, Jinwoo actually has a different voice than he did before, and everyone in the remade party acknowledges that he's no longer the soft boy that he once was.
    I think my favorite part of the episode was when he was leaving the house, and he comments that he's going out to take on a gate, only for his sister to call him out since those used to be life or death situations, and that he acknowledged it as easily as if he was running out for groceries. He may be actively trying to hide his strength from others, but he's been failing miserably with everyone who had met him before the DD incident.
    I'm sure that this is going to get clarified, but I definitely feel that the prisoners that are going to be taking part in the upcoming raid are less there as means to fill the 8 slots they need for the permit (especially since they've got a b-rank hunter overseeing them) as much as they are an excuse for the Hunter Association to see first hand if there was any interpersonal reasons why Sung would have survived a near total party wipeout twice in quick succession. The fact that everyone who responded to the call for the raid group was part of the original DD crew really makes it clear that the Hunter Association got those people specifically to participate, but that's just my hunch.

    Its good and I like that they're trying to flesh out the world and characters, but its a bit hit and miss. I especially dislike the retreading of information like the car exposition scene, but I like that they get into explaining the guilds a bit more. If the car scene was actually worded and coloured more to reflect Jin-ho's dad and gave us more insight into him as a character instead of a stilted exposition machine it would be way better; like the talk about Jeje between the guild masters was!
    On the whole I like what they're trying to do but right now the dialogue just feels too stilted and cliche half the time, but its got its moments of actually good writing I am appreciating the other half so pretty good over all!

    A lot of people seem to think Cha running is silly, since she can't really get much better from it, unlike Sung, as it is stated in the anime, but they fail to realize that she isn't doing it to become stronger. It is simply something she enjoys doing.
    No, it wont help her doing raids, but I personally love that she has a hobby that doesn't have an influence on hunting.
    It shows off her hobby that we know for a fact she used to do before becoming awakened. In a way it is no different from Kim still practicing sword fighting despite not being able to use it in the dungeon. He is doing it because he enjoys doing it not to better himself in the dungeons, and the same can be said for the Cha

    • @spidermander4008

      Well I think a common misconception in this anime is that they don’t need to train to become stronger. It’s as if you put a fat lazy s-rank against a highly trained in shape A-Rank. There’s a high probability the A-rank will win just from being in better shape. As the case with the old swordsman from the first episode. His skill with a sword makes up for his lack of power.

  • @yknr3771
    @yknr3771 3 місяці тому +3

    episode get's a 9/10 in my eyes. it was superb.
    the only reason for the docked points was that Cha Hae-in wasn't shown studying under mr. Song. their master/student relationship is very important characterization for both of them. it shows Cha Hae-in's diligence and insecurity, and also builds the reader's respect for mr. Song. two things which are very needed at this point in the story. since we see more of Hunter Cha soon-ish iirc, and having a grasp of her character outside of the dungeon is very important for a character with very muted tells imo (it's as if she is in a shell). I had a hard time figuring out how I would implement that setup tho. since we also needed a view into Jinho's world and it's goings on, since that cinnamon roll will be seen quite often. I think since we saw mr. Baek, that showing Byung-gu being pestered by Yoojin construction would be ideal.
    but swaping Cha Hae-in into mr. Song's dojo, and placing Byung-gu in the scene where she was running is the only change I would make. thus this episode is very deserving of a 9/10. I'd give it a 9.5/10 if decimals were allowed.
    (of note, I understand why they showed her running, but that's not important characterization until the epilogue of the story, so it feels a bit early...)

I loved seeing anime exclusive scenes such as when the leader from one of the guilds visited the other, and the attempted hiring of an S rank, nice to have a bit of tension and worldbuilding for what's to come. I hope that the next part is going to get animated well - not a person to give spoilers but hope the animators do some solo leveling as well with the fights haha.

    I'd say it's a solid 8/10. All the scenes served a purpose.
    - Baek and Choi's conversation fleshing them out as characters, delving a bit into the Jeju Island disaster and setting the board for the future attempt at getting it under control as well as showing how guilds interact with the general public. The way they cut the conversation was very well done, showing the important bit as Baek mulling Choi's proposition over.
    - Song's scene fleshed him out and prepared us for next episode.
    - Kim's scene was good too, especially combined with his demeanor when they all meet at the gate.
    - Cha Hae-in's scene was there, imo, mostly because they want to introduce her to us little by little so she doesn't come out of left field when she finally becomes relevant to the story, and they gave us a glimpse at how S ranks fit together in the hierarchy by showing how she interacts with Baek and Choi. Her scene was also the cut in their conversation, which was an extremely good pacing touch. Good scripting.

    Having read the manhwa a couple times, it was nice to see scenes added in the anime. I’ve always thought the side characters needed a little more shine and this is what we got, so I didn’t mind it at all even though there were no action scenes.

  • @forloveofthepage2361

    As someone who knows all the info, these episodes can be a bit slow, but I do love the extra care they put into the world building and side characters. More about the other characters was something I always wanted, but in a story called solo leveling, you kind of have to expect a mostly one character tale.

  • @osazen6558
    @osazen6558 3 місяці тому +2

    I would give this episode a 6/10 at least for now. I have no problems with the additional scenes fleshing out the world and characters. The car scene felt like too much exposition, but other than that it was fine.
    My main problem with the episode is that it just felt like padding to make sure that the season could end with an exciting episode without dragging out the upcoming episodes. The information an anime-only watcher gets about guilds and the characters like Cha Hae-in, Baek and Choi are not really relevant to what the anime will be focusing on for the rest of the episode or the next one. I feel like even if the individual parts of the episode are decent, some of it just feels like it should have been dispersed throughout other episodes where it would feel more relevant to what is happening around it.
    And now I will get to why I specified that my score is temporary. I won't mention specifics, but I might accidentally hint at what is going to happen, if so sorry. Unless the anime changes up the story at least from the manhwa (I'm guessing it is the same in the webnovel) it seems pretty clear to me where the anime will end with episode 12. And having a good idea about where the anime will end, some of the information in this episode won't be relevant until the next season. I can't remember if they had some of these scenes in the manhwa, but if they did, I would say these would be the types of things you should change based on the format of media. In a manhwa or webnovel where new chapters are regularly released, you can have some details that won't have significant importance for a few chapters, but the same doesn't work in a seasonal anime. A viewer that doesn't already have a good understanding of it, or dives more into explanations from outside sources probably won't remember information about things between seasons when it was never expanded upon when it was first explained. That is why I said for now, some of the information we got now just isn't important right now, so it will either make future episodes confusing for anime-only watchers or they will have to explain it again. Basically I feel like some of what they went over really doesn't make sense to have in this season of the anime, and only makes sense if you know what will happen later on in the story. However depending on how they do it in future episodes, it could work for a viewer if they bingewatch the show after season 2 has aired. So that is why I said for now, for those watching the episodes as they are airing or binging the show after season 1 is finished, it has some problems, but after season 2 is released it might work better.
    But obviously this is all just my opinion as someone who has read the manhwa, and I could be forgetting something important in the upcoming episodes. I might just have this viewpoint because I want the anime to work for both those that have read the webnovel/ manhwa and those who are experiencing it for the first time through the anime, and I obviously can't forget what I have read so I could see it from the perspective of a first time watcher.

      @nevisysbryd7450 3 місяці тому

      Yeah, while I appreciate the worldbuilding and character depth... there was barely anything added in the original scenes that we did not already know. We already know about the traitor's family, we could infer most of a calm-under-pressure, kind yet dangerously reckless old swordsman losing an arm, and we already knew most of the CEO's relationship to his son. The guilds specifics are not especially relevant yet, nor are most of the S-ranked hunters, and everything shown I expect we would have found out later, anyways. The only really new information that is relevant to any of the characters we have any real investment in is healer girl's strain with her parents. For an entire episode, especially after a two-week wait, that is a _lot_ of exposition that is irrelevant to audience buy-in, ie, filler.

    I Liked the scene of Cha Hae In running cause of her past, she used to be a Track-and-Field runner but stopped after an injury, she told Sung Jin Woo about it but we didn't get the scene in the manhwa, he just talked about it in the Epilogue.

    I appreciated the anime bringing up the island debacle from a few years ago, since I had already forgotten all about it. I suspect Sung will go there eventually, otherwise they likely wouldn't bother bringing it up again. You're right; there was some decent world-building going on in this episode, even if the plot was rather slow (which isn't always a bad thing).
