By far the best visual ending we've had in a while. The resolution switches are so good, but the real life objects appearing is such an amazing reference to the actual plot of playing a "real world" game.
Hiromu Oshiro directed this ending, same guy who did the War of Underworld ED’s and Re:Zero ED 4. I can tell it’s him just by looking at the Ed visuals lol
@@ulrichk3677 Arguably speaking, also a fact. The anime has yet to show much it wasn't already advertised as (not faulting it btw, just saying it intentionally is a slow burner), so a thriller like ending for a primarily action show IS indeed the biggest surprise, lol
I love the fact that the opening is so straightforward and the ending is so cryptic. To me, this reflects how the story is mainly perceived as an action-filled power fantasy without much focus on characters and developments, whereas the real story is subtle and filled with mystery and character nuances. Example to the latter, one of my favorite lines from Episode 12 is when Jinwoo apologized to the 11 shadow soldiers he released.
@@Ali.6r They are actually adding some scenes from light novel and web novel with some anime only scene like hunter association 's president explained the solo leveling world.
Probably the only time when I liked the ending more than the opening, and it’s not because the opening is bad (it definitely isn’t, the opening is good as well), it’s just that the ending is that incredible. Great job to whoever did the visuals and the music.
CONTEXT: Its Jin-woos old self which he lost the moment he died, And is stuck in this place in his sub-conscious, tho he keep getting stronger irl, but his old self is restrained in this static world, but he tries to leave this room, while all the scenes if u see connect to each other, like the tv scenes are from when he is in the room at the start then he gets out. Gradually realising that someone is watching, that person whos looking at the surveillance footages could be the system trying to keep his old self away from him. Then he realises the only way to free himself is to literally free HIMSELF from this place. He proceeds to set fire to the place realising he has a limited time, He runs through the hallways finding that "Door" which the moment he opens and looks through (The blue eye scene at the start) he vanishes, while opening the door (The last scene). And hence this maddening loop continues... As in the end the song says "Maada Tarinai.." "Its not enough.." Well this is how i perceive the ending.
How I interpret it is Jinwoo starts at the top of the elevator, having just been admitted into this new reality separate from what is known to the hunters by accepting the system and formally becoming a player in the struggle between Rulers and Monarchs for control of the universe. The institute he seems to be in is the system, which has now bound him. He starts opening doors and unlocking the lockers shown which are symbolic of him leveling up and the various watershed moments in his power progression, uncovering more and more of Ashborn's power, possessions, and past as he descends rapidly down the elevator to where Ashborn awaits him, having watched silently all this time. The tree I believe represents the Earth as it burns from the conflict between the Rulers and Monarchs, even at the hands to Ashborn himself who joined the Monarchs on their assault on humanity. There are three characters here. Jinwoo as he descends closer and closer to Ashborn. Ashborn, in Jinwoo's form, on the chair watching him and awaiting him at the bottom of his journey. And finally the man watching Jinwoo from the dozens of television screens who I believe is the Architect of the system, the one overseeing everything and ultimately the one in control in Ashborn's relative absence until his screens are blue-d/red-ed out as Jinwoo and Ashborn becoming closer and closer until the Architect is pushed out forever, absorbed and defeated as his observer chair is left empty at the end. As for the song, I think it's not from Jinwoo's perspective, but both of their perspectives. I won't go into much depth, but there's various lines about revolution, awakening power within themselves, and bemoaning their weakness and inferiority. For Jinwoo, the relation is obvious. He was the weakest hunter, fighting back against the circumstances dealt against him, and awakening the power of the system to overcome his limits. But the lyrics are even more obvious for Ashborn. He is the revolutionist; he stood alone against the Rulers when they rebelled and he stood alone again against the Rulers and Monarchs as if in protest of their aims. He also literally awakens the power sealed within him by the Absolute Being, turning from the Greatest Fragment of Brilliant Light into the Shadow Monarch. Yet, despite being the greatest and strongest amongst them (baring Antares who is stronger than him in single combat), Ashborn is the most helpless as he could only stand by as the Rulers killed the Absolute Being. The best line for him and Jinwoo I believe is this: "革命よ私を探せ 雷鳴よ私を醒ませ" or _"Revolution, find me. Thunder, awaken me."_
Jin-woo is alone, going around looking for something. He's being driven around, deeper and deeper, until he's broken down to nothing, he's just mindless. That is, until he gets that spark of something, then he goes insane chasing after it.
@@usethebushsimmyhurry9014 yeah but they’re not /actively/ guiding or interacting with Jin-woo so he is still effectively alone. i wont say much more for anime onlys
I'm sooo happy they're doing the manwha and ln justice. I truly hope SL inspires more people to go into manwha and in turn we get more manwha turned into anime!! Absolutely need ORV as an anime after this. Made by the same author if anyone is interested, great read
I disagree. I prefer the OP musically over the ending. Openings are suppose to get you hyped up, this isn't the music for that. It's better for the ending.
My interpretation: the elevator scene is him losing sanity as a result of all of this out of control levelling. In one scene in the elevator he looks like he’s feeling pain, but in another he’s just laughing and going crazy. This is what the pursuit of endless power can do to people. Consider that the animators symbolized levelling UP as an elevator going DOWN. This is kinda like the saying “spiralling down into madness”. In other scenes, it looks like he’s trying to “find himself” in this “building”. I see the many floors and rooms as new powers to unlock. Once he hits a level (floor) he can explore that level and see what boosts/skills he wants (going door to door; also the locker room scene might be his reawakening). Notice how eery and scary it is in this building. This mirrors the levelling up experience for him in the show which is very lonely and scary. Why is it lonely and scary? Well he is pretty much the only one he knows with this ability and so now he can’t relate as well to others. Anyway, also notice how some halls here are pitch black - this seems to symbolize how sometimes he has no idea what lies ahead on these levels/floors. For example, in one of the scenes, the TV is actually randomly in a hall instead of his “hospital bed room”. I’m pretty sure the TV represents those notification/menu windows that pop up randomly for him as he beats enemies or unlocks skills here and there. Now in a different scene it looks like someone else may be watching him (the room with multiple screens) just like how in the show his progress seems part of someone’s preordained plan. That said, it could also still be him, just a different part of himself watching himself, seeing all the levels as a whole. In the scene when he leaves that room, maybe it’s because he was searching for his original self on the security cameras and found it for a brief second, so he goes out and runs to find it. It also might be that the entity watching him notices that he’s trying to find his original self and the entity doesn’t like that, so he goes out to stop it. At the end, the inner original part of himself in the hospital bed room seems to both fear that someone else is watching him, but he also seems to want his new powerful self to become grounded and remember who he was originally - i.e. to find his original self and visit him in this room. But when the door opens it looks like he has failed. The handle moves and DOES open a door, but it’s not the original self door, meaning the powerful self just found a new power, instead of remembering his roots. RIP. The tree is idk, seems like maybe a future event would explain it. Otherwise I’d just interpret it as his power becoming so great he is also even using it to take life away. Fire is usually very hard to control as well and spreads like hell. If you enjoyed this plz give it a thumbs up, thx
@@nerose274I think that's the best part abt personal interpretations, even if they don't make sense in the canon lore they're so interesting that they could be their own story
I've listened to this so many times, it's actually insane how good it is. The unique visuals, the beautiful singing, the addicting melody, everything is done so well.
The vocals are amazing and the visuals have a lot to do with sung’s loneliness and being so far from everyone else and his desperate fight to become stronger I love it
The ending is soooo correctly done, especially when you know the story. This is an amazing foreshadowing combined with an amazing musical accompaniment.
*Spoilers* Basically the Shadow monarch or Ashborn has been watching Jin woo since the beginning. There were different people who were chosen by Ashborn but one thing they had in common is they always died. When Ashborn saw Jin woo surviving death again and again he decides to give him a leveling system. So the person watching the monitors and opening the door is ashborn :)
Why do people always gotta spoil in the comments? I don't care that you put up a warning, it's still wrong as people who have read the story already know this information so all you're doing is ruining it for anime onlys. I would be mad if I didn't read the full story many years ago.
@@S.P.Q.R.117 some people love spoilers to know what they look forward to. Not everyone gets their experience ruined by spoilers, because some only get more excited for the story to unfold.
Such a mesmerizing ending. The entire idea of combining the animated style with real life objects, in tandem with the song give me such a weird, but pleasant feeling. Got hooked from the first watch. I keep replaying this after every episode.
Sad to see the season end so soon. This anime was worth dodging all those manhwa spoilers :,D The only spoiler I encountered was seeing the smiling statue on a thumbnail, that one was painful honestly. Definitely wouldve been an even more epic experience seeing it for the first time in the anime.

I love this ed not because of the song or the lore, but it’s the background animation, it’s So realistic that i some scene are recorded from IRL, and also one more reason it’s because i love how the spot are actually gave me the backroom vibe lol.
@@ZEROX619XX Only the animators knows. The only reason would be a anime only arc and the visuals are hinting at it. The second reason would be that he was unconscious, so it could be a dream?
Or maybe all of this is meant to be an abstract symbolic representation of jin's life up to the moment he died in the dungeon the anime ending doesn't need to use visuals or scenes from the actual Anime for their opening or ending, that would just be limiting for no reason.
I found this retro static TV ending wandering in empty hallways through uncertain doors and lockers Soo much more impressive than the opening it's Soo stylish, thoughtprovoking and it hit hard after episode 2's ending! It reminds of *Psycho-Pass!!* 11:15pm
The ending is def more creative but the op, in terms of visuals, is what the actual anime should have gotten. Eps1-2 is nowhere near either of these two.
The context of the MV is based on the following phrase in the Manhwa. WARNING, Heavy Spoilers ahead!! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "You, who was always weak, always closest to death, and yet evaded death again and again. I watched you. Even in the opposition of the Architect, I picked you. I shall say it once more. I am the record of your struggles, the evidence of your resistance, and the reward of your pain."
Definitely a great ending with subtle hints towards the plot and even towards the end of the series. Looking back at his life and more. Definitely excited to see how they do the rest of the season but very hype
It has totally set the vibe/feel for the anime so far (that's how you know its incredible) and is amazing on its own as well. Not to mention the visuals, especially lighting the match.
it’s a mix of cgi, 2d and real life. like for instance, the match you see, and the telephone, those are real life objects that were put through blender, and the whole entire background is cgi along with the tree burning, while jinwoo alone is 2d, along with the guy in the chair watching him. i absolutely love the visuals, and love to mixing of different dimensions, it’s so cool
I absolutely ADORE this ending. The visuals have such a specific vibe that makes me so happy to see. This is probably my favourite ending, rivaling Link Click. I hope in another universe I'm friends with whoever had the idea for this.
krage x TK wasn't a combination I thought would work for an ending, but I'll take it. Also, is it me or am I getting War of Underworld ending vibes? (and I mean both of them)

Or maybe all of this is meant to be an abstract symbolic representation of jin's life up to the moment he died in the dungeon the anime ending doesn't need to use visuals or scenes from the actual Anime for their opening or ending, that would just be limiting for no reason.
This ending song is a million times better than the opening song.
I love this ending so much
The voice, the music, the animation... everything is perfect
I found this retro static TV ending wandering in empty hallways through uncertain doors and lockers Soo much more impressive than the opening it's Soo stylish, thoughtprovoking and it hit hard after episode 2's ending! It reminds of *Psycho-Pass!!* 11:15pm
The ending is def more creative but the op, in terms of visuals, is what the actual anime should have gotten. Eps1-2 is nowhere near either of these two.
this ending is so underrated
This series is going to be INSANE!
Oh yes you are in for a ride
Who else almost cries when they hear this…? Almost…
I get goosebumps
I get both, the singing is so beautiful as are the visuals, a treat to the senses
I have no idea why this feels so intense when it's just a ending but damn it's insane
i really love this ending more than the op. it represents jin woo alone going around looking for something then he found a light and chase after it
Foreshadows are insane 😭
Even as an manwha reader It tooks me 5 month to understand it 😭
Pure goosebumps, that was beautiful
Such a TK song, i love it (he produced it)
Love this Ending because of the Sheer amount of interpretations people have.
I love the visuals for this ending. Well done. ❤🎉
The context of the MV is based on the following phrase in the Manhwa.

"You, who was always weak, always closest to death, and yet evaded death again and again. I watched you. Even in the opposition of the Architect, I picked you. I shall say it once more. I am the record of your struggles, the evidence of your resistance, and the reward of your pain."

Reminds me Of Sword Art Online Alicization Endings
Same studio. A1 Pictures always has the best endings.

This is Giving Me Major Backrooms Vibes
Same
LOL

level !
1:03 Level - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Really nice song and I love the visuals
the outro has its own story to it
Definitely a great ending with subtle hints towards the plot and even towards the end of the series. Looking back at his life and more. Definitely excited to see how they do the rest of the season but very hype
It has totally set the vibe/feel for the anime so far (that's how you know its incredible) and is amazing on its own as well. Not to mention the visuals, especially lighting the match.
this is the first anime ending i have seen the best so far
By far one of the best anime’s I’ve seen so far cause there are only 4 episodes
The liminal vibes in this outro are just golden
TK really cooked with the music
i wanna see a whole anime based on this ending
This endings spoils the whole story..XDD
yeah same. but psychological thriller anime, not game thingy
@@rawraw-u6g the same thing I said before.
@@rawraw-u6g yeah
I hope this anime becomes the current generation s SAO, like a good starting point for new anime fans
What type of animation style would this be?? I love the way it looks, very eerie and psychological thriller
it’s a mix of cgi, 2d and real life. like for instance, the match you see, and the telephone, those are real life objects that were put through blender, and the whole entire background is cgi along with the tree burning, while jinwoo alone is 2d, along with the guy in the chair watching him.
i absolutely love the visuals, and love to mixing of different dimensions, it’s so cool
honestly, i prefer this original look of sung jin woo more, and i really miss it lol
I absolutely ADORE this ending. The visuals have such a specific vibe that makes me so happy to see. This is probably my favourite ending, rivaling Link Click. I hope in another universe I'm friends with whoever had the idea for this.
krage x TK wasn't a combination I thought would work for an ending, but I'll take it. Also, is it me or am I getting War of Underworld ending vibes? (and I mean both of them)
cuz same studio
Same director
Bro that TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA In The Starting Is My Favorite Part (Love This Anime Hope Season 2 Comes Soon)
The meaning of it is him soloing just like backroom and the penality zone is lvl! run for your life!
I think the ending represent sung being a player who does whatever the system wants and feels unescapable
And represents its creador """Jin woo"""
I always saw it as the system is opening the door for him to reach heights, no choice but to either accept it or stay where he is and waste away
@@Ryakkusu spoiler: he can't
@@nerose274 spoiler: he does. he made it obey him
@@baponrs9826 I know,but actually he can't
Not until he *Eats* the system
This is absolutely beautiful.

the worst part about this is when the song ends
🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I swear if they put this song in a fight i'm gonna pass out
As the 1,000th comment, I’d like to say that I’ve watched this 50+ times now.
The best visual ending for an anime 🔥🔥🔥
0:58 best part
build up upto that part is crazy
Best ending I have ever seen ngl
Same
Best animation visuals
Does anybody else get reminded of the openings and endings of early and mid 2000s anime when they watch this?
It's definitely a crime if someone skipping this ending.
better than the opening
Best anime ending i've ever seen
