Same here! It's starting off very promising and i'm one of you guys that didn't got me THAT hype from ep 1. Later with Igris and all made it more enjoyable and starting to understand the hype around it. From what I saw from the pre-screeing clips for ep 2 the fights are gonna look EVEN better/cleaner. Plus the lastest trailer showed that clearly the budget went into season 2 more since we gonna have alot more action going on from here on out. The story is the other thing that I'm curious about because 2nd half of s1 was mainly set up for what's to come in s2. I'm excited overall let's see what they COOKING for us!
Exactly, and and Wolf Assasin is a title that increases his dmg against beast-type enemies, that's why he changed to it when fighting with the ice bears (I don't think the beast-typing was that much implied in season 1).
It says above his title what bonuses he gets. His "One Who Overcame Adversity" title is 1% bonus to all stats but his "Wolf Assasin" title gives him +40% damage to animal-type monsters.
@@SteveClark_1 If you freeze-framed Jinwoo switching titles, it did show the extra damage feature of Wolf Assassin. But I acknowledge it was a "blink and you'll miss it" thing. And I agree that the source covered the details in a lot more detail.
@@r0kusim sure there are anime only people who are pausing to read every time but if the anime doesnt seem to be going into that much detail about jinwoos abilities it probably wont matter much in the future or theyll do a flashback
Hey Boldcast, just a shout-out to ya'all; as a fan, it might not be pleasant to hear criticism, but I am here cause I recall your channel particularly having sharp commentary regarding this show. I hope to hear your honest takes on it from here on as well. Cheers to an amazing season ahead cause ep 1 just shows all the green lights for a banger this time around, too, for me.
(I'm a manhwa reader but obv no spoilers) Season 1 was definitely a lot of setup to get to where we're at now. Season 2 should be pretty enjoyable now that we're getting more into the story and mysteries. I'm really loving the animation and everything for Season 2 so far (I watched the Solo Leveling movie which had the first 2 episodes of Season 2).
@@SteveClark_1 So I agree with what Boldcast mentioned that Season 1 had so many instances where they switched to some random exposition/side story in the middle of important plot - I hated that cause it took away from the main story. I believe the anime is following the Light Novel which prob makes it a little different than the manhwa. Regardless, I find the manhwa way more enjoyable - it was just such a great read that I ended up just binging majority of it in a few days.
@@liam1902 i agree but i do think the anime is adapting from the manhwa not the light novel i could be wrong tho. but i think readers should just let the anime be its own thing its not going to be a scene for scene copy of the novel or manhwa the fast pacing probably works better for a show format. but i wouldnt recommend this to anyone to be their first experience of solo leveling its easily the worst version of the 3 in my opinion.
@@frostyt6458 most anime adaptations do that, they just need to trim the corners to fit into episodes. thats why the story is almost always worse in anime compared to its source material because its trying to tell the same story with missing parts and the side characters feel shallow and not built up enough because its always their thoughts and conversations that get cut out coming into anime.
Yeah, it was totally unnessecary to put in that scenes in timing when the action starting to reach it's peak for newly made up scenes, thats right. But what i think is a bit untrue is that his behavior is "cheesy". Because most anime protagonists are either trying to act cool to impress or because they are on a overconfident run, aggressive provocation etc. But he acts like a real ADULT WOULD because he IS ONE. If you remember, Jin Woo is 24 years old and not a 16-18 years old high schooler trying to act like a hero he always dreamed of like in Fantasy or Isekai series. He knows the words responsibility as such and tries also to calm down the group psychologically. If you think about how episode 2 ended, he experienced that people get in panic easily, running maybe into their death at worst scenario. If he would be cheesy, he would act like a Jin Hoo or tries to say lines to make the person itself feel better through their own positive characteristics.
Exactly! How is it cheesy to say "Listen, I got you into this mess so I'll do all I can to get you out, but you have to stop asking questions."? He's reassuring them, making them feel calmer while at the same time making a deal with them so he's free to use all his power without worrying about his secret being exposed, I see no cheese or fluff in that interaction, it accomplishes so much, so quickly.
3:57 btw, Kim Chul doesn’t have a cheek scar at all in both the Manwha and LN as he’s actually a newbie A-rank who just finished his elite training and the red gate is his first mission.
@ not really, Kim Chul is literally the only one who wears armor in the group because that’s what the group provided him with after his elite-training same goes for the Manwha as well.
@@PixieDustAndFire What do you mean, the giant fridge with horns wielding a car door and a tanker's anchor "blends in" with the scrawny dudes in leader? You can't even see the scar unless you zoom into that helmet no one else's using.
The A ranker took the clear road path. Jinwoo walk trough the dark woods. On the surface the road seems safer because your not threading through trees but there is no cover for you to hide in and the elves can snipe at them from cover. Jinwoo's woods path is filled with bears but because its bear territory. The elves couldnt set up ambushes freely
i absolutely agree with ur thoughts on bluelock and also tokyo revengers and i get ur assessment of season 1 but will say right around where the show starts s2 is where i started to get addicted to Solo leveling
Bro I really love how you analyze things you are very synchronized and perfect together 👍 you are 💯 right about th 1 season the cut scenes are misplaced, but you really need to focus in the informations and the emotions to understand the characters better you forgot many things 😅 he is not cheesy he just feel responsible for them because they are like his past self especially the girl she is his sister best friend too and you forgot that he is changing ☠️ the true story begin now plz don't try to compare all the stories! not every story is berserk or vagabond or fma or OP don't jump to conclusion fast be passion bro 🧐👌
I just feel like this episode was paced SOOOOOO FUCKIN WELL like i didn’t feel pushed or like the story is going too fast to force the action to happen asap well layered
Basically in the manhwa from this point onwards till that ant arc it's impossible to stop urself from putting down, i binged the entire first 100 chapters in a single night, it's sooo damn fun with new type of enemies, lore and sung jin woo's evolution as a character. Also 1 thing about solo leveling is the only reason it got popular and has these many fans is because of the insane artwork they put out on a weekly basis every panel is sooo beautiful to look at so majority of the solo leveling fans only like the series because of the "aura" of the main character and the aesthetics and best way to enjoy the show is to tune off ur brain and have fun.
Solo Leveling is Dragon Ball of manhwa. You be like this plot is simple and be critical about bunch of shit but the way it's written just makes you don't care. I know manhwa with better plot and things like that but i never re-read another manhwa as much as Solo Leveling. Also plot get thicker later on and it's not even that bad i just like this pure power-fantasy that's well written and i enjoy it.
There was only 1 cutaway scene in Season 1 I had issue with. That was the one in I think episode 6. Basically right before Jin Woo kills the 5 dudes who were planning to kill him. Right before that happens, it cuts away to three girls (in the Manhwa they play zero importance to anything, just nameless background characters with slightly more detailed designs). And they discuss false-rankers in a coffee shop. That entire cutaway scene was pointless and kind of killed the suspense that was being built up inside the dungeon. All the other cutaway scenes to different characters explaining stuff, or setting things up, I had no issue with.
I know other people have brought up the fact that "Wolf Assassin" is a title, but just to add a bit more context. My MMO days have been gone for a bit, but iirc even though in Western MMORPGs you'd have titles, it was mostly in Eastern ones where the titles actually gave bonuses. In case it might have come off as something new the story is trying to introduce or make unique. ((Like if someone who wasn't used to video games saw him pull stuff out of his inventory and got frustrated like "How many powers does this guy have?!". Where as with context it seems more like a no-brainer.))
Just curious, what shows are you planning to watch this season? I kinda selfishly want you guys to pick up apothecary dairies since season 2 is starting this season. I know you might already have a jam packed schedule, but I hope you guys will give it a try whenever you do have the time!! Also can't wait for the Haikyuu and Look Back movie whenever that's coming up! I haven't really kept up with you guys for a while now since the shows you're watching I haven't really kept up with or watched. So I hope you guys watch some of the shows I've watched/am watching so I can finally have some rant buddies to listen to!
@BOLDcast oh that's great to hear! Can't wait! Sakamoto Days seems like the popular and promising show for this season, I'll have to look out for it too!
You asked at one point if Jinwoo gained xp while his shadows fight. While I guess it's a minor spoiler, it's just mechanics so I don't mind answering. Yes, both Jinwoo and his shadows gain xp as theyy fight. Big-picture wise, the story is a power fantasy, so both Jinwoo and his pose have to get stronger.⬅ I understand why you were distracted by the many cutaways in Season 1. It didn't bother me that much, but I sometimes found it distracting, wanting to get back to the exciting stuff which had been what was happening. Yet after the first season I decided to read the original 8 novels (which was the original source; the manhwa was an excellent adaptation). Once you have a knowledge of the whole story, those cutaways make more sense. Now I'm glad they did it that way.
One thing that I can say about the filler scenes of the side characters SJW hasn't met yet--one of the main complaints that people had about the manhwa was that it only developed SJW and the people he interacted with, so all the other characters, while they have potential to be interesting, felt really flat in comparison. I think the anime is trying to combat that by introducing them earlier and showing scenes of them throughout what they're going through, even if it doesn't interact with the main plot since it doesn't make sense for them to interact with SJW yet.
1:47 He is in a parent/guardian meeting, did they not do those when you were at school? Why are you confused or think he should be confused, he IS her guardian XD 1:59 Why would she be asking questions about her or Jinwoo's mum? 7:56, his not stupid for not recognising that Jinwoo is a high ranker, no matter how you look or act, if you're E rank you're weak. How physically strong you look does not match your rank, if it did, majority of buff men would be high ranks and all of the skinny smaller men, and majority of women would be low ranks, but thats not the case. The S ranks brother who was killed by Jinwoo was very built, yet he was only a C rank, he'd get easily killed by most people in this team, apart from the e rank and the c ranks, all the B ranks, even though they looked like fodder in this, could have EASILY beaten him. So unless he sees Jinwoo doesn't something a E rank couldn't do, he has no reason to suspect otherwise. Jinwoo's body changed due to other reasons, its not as simple as "he is a high rank so his taller and more built" if it was, we would not be seeing any of the women in high ranks, who don't look taller or buffer than average but they don't, they look like a normal hight and build for women. I do like your commentary overall though. For example I don't see it as cheesy Jinwoo is 24 years old, not a teenager, so him patting her head is him comforting him and being responsible adult, for a 17 year old girl, a minor. His not pretending to be cool.
It's great because in Ep. 10 of S1, a lot of people were wondering if Song Yi had a crush on our boy Jinwoo... so we got this start. I mean, fuuuck, I might have crush on him after this ep lol.
Not every show can have a crazy story or a lot of depth like attack on titan. Some shows are just about hype fights. My problem with Solo Leveling is it WAS poised to have a really interesting story and they totally botched it (I've read the manwha but I'm speaking about after episode maybe ~10 in the anime). As far as your guys' issues with Hells paradise or blue lock im really not sure. Maybe you guys just wanna rewatch aot and fma brotherhood each week or something..
When I started reading Solo Leveling, I expected it to be great, not necessarily in all aspects, maybe in one, maybe in multiple. And it had great action, great art style, and great style for characters, monsters, and backgrounds. It's an okay power system, an okay story, with cool characters. Easily understandable why it is so popular. Is it my favorite manhwa? No. But I did enjoy it, and that's what I wanted and expected the most from it: to enjoy it. For those that want great manhwa with great story, great writing, and a bit darker story, here are some recommendations: Sweet Home(10/10)[my favorite] Horizon(10/10) Shotgun Boy(8/10)[connected to Sweet Home] Bastard(9.5/10)
Solo leveling is a power fantasy it doesn't shy with how it portray it they even embrace it and ramp it up more Its not a show to watch for the story or Worldbuilding but for the MC power progression This series literally spawn more copycat than sword art online spawning isekai 🤣
Yup, though I feel like that’s a Manwha thing as the yetis wouldn’t really make sense as the Manwha make it clear that the Ice Elves is the more dominant species in that red gate. Though I feel like the yetis is a Manwha original stuff and the LN probably make it clear that Chul team was attacked by the Ice Elves.
I can heavily relate to Jin Woo, helping his sick mother, protecting his little sister, stepping up because of an absent father, just need to work on my glow up 😅. The English dub is better though. Aleks Lee Eng actor for Jin Wok literally bled out of his mouth, you should listen to a few clips of the dub on your own time. 🙏🏻
Will check the dub but I just am attached to Taito Ban. His range is incredible. I like when Eng VAs go off script to fill dead air though so I hope that's a thing lol.
@@metroenthusiasat07 we're gonna rip through uploads this coming week, hopefully mostly finish the season, then we can start some other stuff Shidou is insane btw his goal was on some hisoka shit
It's just "I'm strong!" The content is thin The only interesting show that started this season so far is "Medalist" The only other one I can look forward to is "Sakamoto DAYS"
@@SteveClark_1 The first episode of "sakamoto days" will air in a week. There have been no criticisms so far. I'm not worried because it's produced by MAPPA. I think the song played at the end of episode 1, "Medalist," will be the opening theme for episode 2, and it feels like a really good song with a lot of energy. There aren't many failures in the figure skating works, so I'm looking forward to it. It's a shame that the work "ORB On the Movements of the Earth" hasn't been seen much. Is it because it deals with religion that people overseas are shying away from it?
This has to be some ai bot typing this right? Mappa is not doing sakamoto days and yes it has alot of criticism online about how a series solely about good choreographed fighting looks like it wont have great animation. And ive read medalist the trailers for that are shoddy as well with all the CG
@@SteveClark_1 "Medalist" is distributed on Japanese terrestrial TV and Disney, and all episodes of season 1 have already been completed, and it seems that all that remains is to be broadcast. The first episode is a thorough one, with a brief explanation of the basic techniques of figure skating. The content of "Solo Leveling" is a copy of other works, and its limitations are apparent. In Japan, there have been many anime with the strongest protagonists for a long time. There have been a ton of works in which the strongest protagonists become the strongest, such as "The Irregular at Magic High School" and "I Want to Become the Strongest in the Shadows!". A-1 Pictures, the Japanese animation company that produces "Solo Leveling", has high quality at the beginning, but it becomes like a picture-story show from the middle. It is common for this company to include a summary around episode 5-6, take a break, and then fall apart. Another drawback of "Solo Leveling" is that the dialogue is boring.
This first ep is super promising for us, if they can balance things this well for the whole season we're in for a real treat!

For those that want great manhwa with great story, great writing, and a bit darker story, here are some recommendations:
Sweet Home(10/10)[my favorite]
Horizon(10/10)
Shotgun Boy(8/10)[connected to Sweet Home]
Bastard(9.5/10)
Solo leveling is a power fantasy it doesn't shy with how it portray it they even embrace it and ramp it up more
Its not a show to watch for the story or Worldbuilding but for the MC power progression
This series literally spawn more copycat than sword art online spawning isekai 🤣
The Manhwa is literally the best when it comes to quality of the drawings so ou can imagine the anticipation of the anime
Ayyye we’re back with more Jinwoo flexing and more A rank hunters F’ing around and finding out 😂
Did they cut the yetis?
Yup, though I feel like that’s a Manwha thing as the yetis wouldn’t really make sense as the Manwha make it clear that the Ice Elves is the more dominant species in that red gate. Though I feel like the yetis is a Manwha original stuff and the LN probably make it clear that Chul team was attacked by the Ice Elves.
dont worry, unlike blue lock, solo leveling has a lot of budget to spend
Not that difficult tbh. Season 1 was one of the most basic power fantasies that I've ever seen.
Solo-day❤
wait i just realized do she have heterochromia?
I can heavily relate to Jin Woo, helping his sick mother, protecting his little sister, stepping up because of an absent father, just need to work on my glow up 😅. The English dub is better though. Aleks Lee Eng actor for Jin Wok literally bled out of his mouth, you should listen to a few clips of the dub on your own time. 🙏🏻
Will check the dub but I just am attached to Taito Ban. His range is incredible. I like when Eng VAs go off script to fill dead air though so I hope that's a thing lol.
Ab subscription nahi lunga 😅
Yall dropped blue lock when it was at it peak yall r just hypocrites L

@ dont just upload them damn videos man 😭 this was a comment to trigger yall to upload the vids asap
@@metroenthusiasat07 we're gonna rip through uploads this coming week, hopefully mostly finish the season, then we can start some other stuff
Shidou is insane btw his goal was on some hisoka shit
@ yeaaa on bros goated frr
you guys should react to Sister Leveling.
Oh nah
It's just "I'm strong!"
The content is thin
The only interesting show that started this season so far is "Medalist"
The only other one I can look forward to is "Sakamoto DAYS"
did the animation for sakamoto days look good? Ive heard alot of complaints from trailers
@@SteveClark_1 The first episode of "sakamoto days" will air in a week. There have been no criticisms so far. I'm not worried because it's produced by MAPPA.
I think the song played at the end of episode 1, "Medalist," will be the opening theme for episode 2, and it feels like a really good song with a lot of energy. There aren't many failures in the figure skating works, so I'm looking forward to it.
It's a shame that the work "ORB On the Movements of the Earth" hasn't been seen much. Is it because it deals with religion that people overseas are shying away from it?
This has to be some ai bot typing this right? Mappa is not doing sakamoto days and yes it has alot of criticism online about how a series solely about good choreographed fighting looks like it wont have great animation. And ive read medalist the trailers for that are shoddy as well with all the CG
@@SteveClark_1 "Medalist" is distributed on Japanese terrestrial TV and Disney, and all episodes of season 1 have already been completed, and it seems that all that remains is to be broadcast.
The first episode is a thorough one, with a brief explanation of the basic techniques of figure skating.
The content of "Solo Leveling" is a copy of other works, and its limitations are apparent. In Japan, there have been many anime with the strongest protagonists for a long time.
There have been a ton of works in which the strongest protagonists become the strongest, such as "The Irregular at Magic High School" and "I Want to Become the Strongest in the Shadows!".
A-1 Pictures, the Japanese animation company that produces "Solo Leveling", has high quality at the beginning, but it becomes like a picture-story show from the middle. It is common for this company to include a summary around episode 5-6, take a break, and then fall apart.
Another drawback of "Solo Leveling" is that the dialogue is boring.
My guy what are you even talking about? You just typed misinformation earlier and now you arent even on topic with the conversation im so confused
Ill just watch a reaction instead of the show.. its kinda bland 😑
