“Let’s See How Far I Can Go”
I don’t know how I feel about Solo Leveling – having had 7 episodes the plot seems pretty on par with the manhwa, and yet somehow it manages to be kinda stale? I don’t know you tell me. This time around we see Sung try and outlimit the limit of the system by doing 200 push-ups and 20 km of running. By doing so the system rewards him with a loot box, this time he gets a key to the palace of hell- where he meets a puppy called Cerberus. It’s kinda tough but he manages because he is the Solo Leveler! Of course, he was gonna win there was no doubt about it. Even though it was a pretty good fight – I feel like it was nothing out of the ordinary. I seriously can’t believe this series I was hyped for is kinda letting me down. It’s weird because I keep comparing Solo Leveling to JJK in the type of animation they should be having – but then there’s this other series I’m enamored with right now. Shangri-la Frontier which for me is sort of the surprise of last season with 25 episodes I could have still easily been reviewing that and just the last episode was so great with so powerful animation that I’m over here watching Solo being like this animation kinda mid.
Sigh – well, what can you do but ramble about it on the internet I guess? Not like the Japanese directors are looking at MAL and being like what do Westerners think of this? Even though this series was sort of made with the idea that anime is a global medium, that’s why all of the system text boxes are in English. That’s why a super popular K-pop group does the intro and so on and so forth. I seriously hope Solo Leveling finds a second wind in something like Toonami when it gets a proper dub.
Something I did forget to mention last week is that the VA for Sung is carrying this show! He is doing a superb job at conveying the more emotional and nuanced moments of the show, congrats to him, it’s seriously throwing it out of the park. And like a proper match of league where your team is bad – he is pushing that bot lane and missing out on all the team fights because he is what – solo leveling, lol.
I have very little to say about this episode so short review this week – the Cerberus animation was okay I guess – nothing to write on RC about. For now that’s it hope you have a nice day.
