I know you did this on purpose just to get attention to yourself and everything but can you just do all of us a favor and not put in a review ever again. It's people like you who make the anime fanbase the most toxic fanbase in the world and it's just sad really. Not liking something is your own opinion. I'm not gonna get mad at you for that. What really annoys me with people like you is just saying straight up lies to try to make yourself feel better because your favorite anime isn't the only good one in the world. So like i said before just be quiet and don't type anything again please and thank you.

I fully agree with you. Beneath the flashy well animated and entertaining fights lies a story that does not compare to masterpieces like Deadpool & Wollverine you rated 10/10 on your profile.

How could anyone like the show based on the popular mahnwa with its main selling point beeing flashy fights?

Disgraceful.

Without a doubt the ANIMATION studio should have just rewrote the story to contain Tolkien levels of worldbuilding!

As we all know the ANIMATION studio is responsible for the source material as its name suggests. And how dare they make the best off what they have?!

Good one you for giving its most liked episode 1/10.

We have all been waiting to see jin woo tears for his mother, this episode just make my heart melt , the music , the moon , the tears everything was perfect in this scene it couldn't have been done better , i m rewatching the scene again and again and each time my tears come back . This is was just perfect thank you to all people who worked in this episode you have all my respect, yet people will still complain to this episode saying there wasn't many action , just one thing for the haters just accept the fact that your fav anime isn't as good as you thought it was , solo levelling brings everything you can ask for . People who don't cry seeing this and keep giving it a poor rating are either people without heart or people who doesn't know the true love of a mother , a mother is all man weakness.

Just fighting, flashing lights, fast animation, etc... I get that this anime is all about that and for that reason writing will, most of the time, be a bit off.

However, episode 9 exceeded my expectations. I never thought I will find writing in Solo Leveling so well. I still don't get why this wasn't a conclusion of the anime, but I guess it just gotta live to the hype of great fights a bit more.

As for the dislike count on Crunshyroll, I really don't get that??? What did yall expect? The whole point of the show was this moment. What was the reason for disliking such a good episode? Did yall expect him to turn his mom into a shadow solider or sum?

Overall a great episode. When anime is only about fights it gets bad and boring at one point. This was a great stop point to show that Sung Jinwoo is still a human being and not an basic emotionless protagonist.

I hope solo leveling will get more of well writen episodes like this!
