Synopsis

Humanity was caught at a precipice a decade ago when the first gates—portals linked with other dimensions that harbor monsters immune to conventional weaponry—emerged around the world. Alongside the appearance of the gates, various humans were transformed into hunters and bestowed superhuman abilities. Responsible for entering the gates and clearing the dungeons within, many hunters chose to form guilds to secure their livelihoods.

Sung Jin-Woo is an E-rank hunter dubbed as the weakest hunter of all mankind. While exploring a supposedly safe dungeon, he and his party encounter an unusual tunnel leading to a deeper area. Enticed by the prospect of treasure, the group presses forward, only to be confronted with horrors beyond their imagination. Miraculously, Jin-Woo survives the incident and soon finds that he now has access to an interface visible only to him. This mysterious system promises him the power he has long dreamed of—but everything comes at a price.

I want to clarify that I'm not a big fan of battle shonen, but I still decided to give Solo leveling a shot because the ost is by Sawano. And I think this reason is solid enough to spend 4 hours of my life on it and go out of my comfort zone. Unfortunately, this is what Solo leveling's story never does.

The premise and the world is similar to Gate: there is a modern world and then one day a portal appears connecting our world to a fantasy one, but the fantasy world here never reaches the same depth like it did in Gate, and ... I can't believe I just used "depth" to describe Gate. It's not even a world to begin with, but rather a group of separated dungeons, which disappear after your beat their local bosses. In the attempt to balance out the technological gap, the modern weaponry doesn't work on the other side and it doesn't work because doesn't work. Solo leveling just wants to be an RPG whenever it wishes without thinking of some semblance of coherency. At least Gate had balls to show the superiority of the modern world's army in contrast to the medieval kingdoms.

The main protagonist is no better, he's the weakest among the weakest but during one of his dungeon crawls he receives the ability to level up, learns that others boss him around because he is weak, and now he decides to get stronger to boss them around; yada yada yada, you know how it goes. His character arc reminds me of another rising guy, but this time he doesn't have a shield. Nevertheless, there was a thing in this used-to-be-original-30-years-ago plot that caught my attention. These dungeons are basically under no one's jurisdiction, because frequently occurring deaths in them aren't even investigated and the witnesses are never detained for interrogation. And given the high mortality rate, my theory is that Korean mafia uses dungeons to dispatch people and leave no evidence: their body will disappear with the dungeon after all. And this would be more realistic and original way to use this setting, because people would likely do sketchy things inside the dungeons like cooking meth, or casinos, or inside trading, or making fun of BTS fans instead of playing IRL D&D.

Since animation is handled by A1, I had high expectations. From my understanding the show was animated by the same team who did SAO alicization and if this is the case, they have gotten significantly better. The animation and visuals are now consistent to the point where I couldn't know the cg elements from 2D. Alicization had many cool moments but the main flaw was cg enemy crowds, which were without doubt absolutely terrible. Sawano's craft this time is definitely far away from his best works, but that's just a sad state of anime OSTs where Sawano has no one to compete with but himself.

I could write something about the side characters as well, but even though I've just finished Solo leveling it feels like it has been 2 years, and this perfectly summarizes the quality of the writing. In conclusion, I expected good animation, Sawano's music, and a forgettable story and I got good animation, Sawano's music, and a forgettable story, so I wasn't disappointed. It's also poetic that the same studio that did Sword art online, which became a flag-bearer for dozens of generic shows, are now doing Solo leveling, which is an inspiration for dozens of generic manhwa.

Mixed Feelings

Okay, so this is a result of when an anime has been globally overhyped? I watched this whole anime in a day & I was having a very high expectation from it because many anime pages on IG shared the episode scores, the hyped everyone was making, people even got pissed off by the ep7.5 recap, I thought, "wow, is this anime really that good!?" But then this whole hype thing is only a disappointment.

Basically, MC was born as the weakest hunter, after encountering with the "system/God", he has the ability to level up himself through daily quests, fighting monster. There're character development going through ...

The MC is basically an overpowered protagnist that is the only one that can keep leveling up. It's guilty pleasure to root for the weakest mercenary and see him rise to the top. Except that the plot, character depth, development and side characters are very bare bones.

The art and animation is good, and VA for the MC is great. Fight scenes are nice but nothing out of this world or unique. The pacing is poor, and some episodes just goes by without adding any value to the series. Even with an already thread-bare plot and character depth, for some reason the animation studio decided ...
