I mostly watch regular tv-shows and dont write many reviews, but this anime is so amazing i have to make an expection: Far better start as season 1. This episode has everything: mystery, new enemies/monsters and ACTION! For me its almost on the level of S1E2!

Jin-Woo is back for good and so much powerful and confident as at the beginning of last season. Its worth to watch this episode for the last 5 minutes only. I dont want to reveal to much, but: the shadow army will finally get something to do and this warriors really fabricate some iconic scenes.

And animation is even better than season 1 which was already high level. Can't wait to see what happens next in Red Gate Part 2...

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!!

I have to give a huge hat tip to the author and manga and anime creators to help bring this amazing jaw dropping story to life. We bow to all of you deeply.

I have been following this story since season 1 episode 1 and boy it hasn't disappointed me not once but smash every expectation for every episode. But now that Season 2 has started even more so. Thank you for bring this story to life. Keep up this great work.

"Solo Leveling" Season 2 Episode 1, "You Aren't E-Rank, Are You?", wastes no time throwing viewers back into the action-packed world of Sung Jin-woo. The episode seamlessly picks up from the season 1 finale, showcasing Jin-woo's newfound power and the challenges that come with it.

The animation is a significant upgrade from the first season, with fluid and dynamic fight sequences that truly capture the intensity of the action. The character designs are more detailed, and the overall visual presentation is a feast for the eyes.

The episode masterfully sets the stage for the season, introducing new threats and reintroducing familiar faces with renewed stakes. The encounter with the Ice Elves hints at the scale of the challenges Jin-woo and his allies will face, while the return of certain characters promises exciting confrontations.

For fans of the original webtoon, the episode faithfully adapts the source material while adding its own unique flourishes. The pacing is excellent, and the episode leaves viewers eager for more.

While the episode is largely successful, some viewers may find the dialogue a bit stilted at times. Additionally, the focus on action might overshadow character development in the early stages of the season.
