You Aren't E-Rank, Are You?

Season 2 of Solo Leveling kicks off with the highly anticipated Red Gate Arc, setting the stage for an action-packed season rumored to conclude with the epic Jeju Island Arc.

The very first episode delivers an excellent balance of action and gore, providing a thrilling glimpse of the chaos and massacres that lie ahead. The animation is smooth, visually stunning, and truly elevates the experience.

What stood out the most for me in this episode was the incredible character development of our protagonist, Sung Jin-Woo. Once known as "the weakest hunter in the world," with an unremarkable and timid personality, he has transformed into a confident, powerful, and undeniably charismatic figure. His evolution from the humble beginnings of Episode 1 to now is remarkable. Sung Jin-Woo is no longer overlooked; he's admired by both his peers and the audience. Officers now humorously tell him to "stand back and give the newcomers a chance," while his newfound charm begins to captivate everyone around him.

This episode is undoubtedly better than S1E1. The pacing of the episode was spot on-I didn't even realize how quickly 24-25 minutes flew by. It's a fantastic start to the season, and this episode undoubtedly deserves a solid 10/10.

What to to say other than perfection , the level design of the characters , the ost , the fight choreography , the vibe , everything was perfectly adapted , after all the wait , I can say it , it was worth it , solo leveling deserved this anime and I hope to see this masterpiece of adaptation give it the popularity it deserves , we are only at the first episode and it's breaking all ot precedents records , really missed this much of a hype for something , I really can't wait to see more of it , hoping for it to continue as it started and hoping for even more , thank you A-1 pictures for this .

Wow.. this first episode of the second season was an absolute blast, with things quickly going from calm to intense, thrilling and actionpacked!

The episode starts of slow... but oh boy does that change! The story quickly develops with some unexpected and welcome development! It gives you the feeling that this season is gonna be a wild journey as a lot of things were set up in season one, and this season could just take things further!

I am still in love with Jinwoo's development and its nice to see the outcome of season lne come into play! We can see that everyone is paying more and more attention to him!

Animation was somehow an improvement from season one, which is incredible when the first season was incredibly animated too!

Opening and ending... straight up fire!!

This was such a stunning way to make a first impression and tease the viewers about what is to come. My goat sung jinwoo is looking as hot as ever and I honestly cannot stand having to wait a whole week just for a mere 20 minutes of this masterpiece. I highly suggest watching the first season now to quickly catch up with the second one as it releases week by week. As a manwha reader I know for sure that the next episodes are going to be just as enjoyable as this first one. I have been left utterly speechless by this anime and manwha series. Truly impeccable in my eyes.

P.s. SUNG DRIP WOO the GOAT.

Similar start as Season 1: Team enters a portal for an easy task/ mission, but the portal/dungeon keeps some surprises and shows up as an extremely difficult and lethal mission.

So far, solid start, but formulaic and not that suspenseful, because we know, it's the first episode of this second season and the main protagonist will survive this mission and level up again.

I'm a big fan of the mangas and the show. I'm glad about the second season and am hooked.

But: The episode is ok, but not a 10/10 or 9/10. That would mean, it's a (nearly) perfect episode and it's not getting better. It's a solid, fast paced episode with known tropes.

Relax and enjoy.
