    Koreans stand out again, and they do so with something outside of regular Japanese anime.

    This is very well done, it is true that they skip several things that the manhwa, but as the anime does not seek to be a monogatari because it will not bore you with large amounts of text and therefore seeks to be very subtle, and succeeds. He achieves it to such an extent that the manhwa becomes very respected in all chapters is simply impressive how they can transmit the charisma of the protagonists of the printed to the screen.

    In short, the beginning of the story is not the most captivating, if not, the development of it is passing the chapters of the Manhwa, it is impressive how the MIR studio can encourage such good and fluid fights, I am very surprised by the quality of the environments, the characters, the emphasis on important things, and the dubbing in Japanese leaves nothing to be desired is simply good, I hope it is the same quality with the animation of Solo Leveling because if the Koreans continue like this, they will conquer.

    Spot on with the WEBTOON!

    I love this! I had started reading the WEBTOON long back but lost track of it along the way(it's got a lot of episodes!) I was surprised to see this on Netflix and immediately clicked on it. 3rd episode down and I absolutely adore this series and how it deals with real issues and the superficiality of people. The songs and the characters are well made and have great backstories. I'm looking forward to see how they continue the series as the WEBTOON has about 400 plus episodes and is still ongoing

    Bullying is definitely not an easy topic to discuss and showcase in a series. So I'm glad that the essence of the WEBTOON is adapted so well here.

    An adaptation that gets you in the feels

    When I first started reading Lookism, I couldn't believe I liked it. It was so childish. But it's not the content of what the story is about. It's the characters and their lives that make you want to find out what happens.

    Lookism is a kind of redefining of male bonding and it's really good too. Characters care about each other, the "losers" aren't set aside as side characters and everyone's story has meaning.

    Lookism can be a little dark at times but it's a story that is heartwarming and redemptive in almost all situations.

    Life can be hard to navigate and the characters struggle honestly to find their identity and care about each other in ways that are meaningful.

    Plus this story just has everything. Love, fights, music, family, intense moments and silly moments. It will make you laugh and may even make you cry.

    Great story and OST so far!

    I don't understand the 1 star ratings - have you even watched the series? It just came out lol Regardless, I really enjoyed it - animation is well done, voice acting and singing was also really good.

    Bullying is not an easy theme to narrate, although I believe Lookism did a good job. One may think it's a bit exaggerated, but it is like that... especially when you are targeted due to your looks.

    The "twist" is also quite interesting, without spoiling anything... I'm curious about how they are going to explain it. Perhaps reading the webtoon will respond to these questions... Hopefully a second season will be released!

    As a fan of the original webtoon... I love it!

    Lookism manages to tackle difficult social situations with a lovable array of characters. It follows the concept of "Lookism" (The judgment of others based on looks alone), and everything that surrounds the term. I loved the webtoon, and held high hopes for the animation. I'm happy to report that I absolutely adore Lookism in this format! It's like it was made to be animated! The OST is fantastic, and it helped bring a lot of the scenes I loved to life. I've been telling everyone I know to watch it, since it needs to get a season 2! Please everyone give a lot of love to this show, I promise it deserves it!
