Mi Opinión de Solo Leveling/My Opinion of Solo Leveling [ESP/ENG]@yasmarit85d
Hola queridos amigos de @TheAnimeRealm, saludos y feliz día, en esta oportunidad vengo a dar mi opinión de un anime que sin duda a dado que hablar, en verdad me tenía intrigada para verlo y tarde un tiempo en hacerlo, bueno lo tenía en mi lista pero no le había dado la oportunidad, hasta que entre ver varias opiniones y con el opening de su segunda temporada que debo decir que me engancho, dije que tenía que verlo antes que los demás de mi lista, y ps si debo decir que valió la pena, se trata de Solo Leveling.
Haciendo una breve reseña para los que no lo han visto, este anime se basa en una historia en la cual se hacen presente los portales que contienen las mazmorras, donde habitan monstruos y los humanos para poder sobrevivir sufren lo que llaman el despertar, el cual le permite tener habilidades que les permita cazar a estos monstruos, es ahí cuando reciben en nombre de cazadores, que a su vez dependiendo del poder que tengan se dividen en diferentes rangos donde el más alto es el rango S y el más bajo el E, lo cual radica que se deben formar grupos para apoyarse y poder luchar con los monstruos de las mazmorras dependiendo de la categoría en el cual estén.
En este caso nuestro protagonista Jin-woo Sung es un cazador de rango E, el cual pese a que su categoría es la más baja decide incursionar en estas mazmorras, ya que en ellas no solo se cazan a los monstruos y se cierran, también te pagan por ello, es como un trabajo, arriesgado pero un trabajo en el cual le permite mantener a su familia por circunstancias que lo requieren que él lo haga, pese al miedo y salir lastimado en combate, Jin-woo no se rinde y sigue en ello, hasta que un día todo cambia y se consigue cara a cara a lo que sería la muerte, pero no todo es un final para él, sino al contrario, es simplemente el inicio de una nueva etapa en su vida, en el que la demostrará que cuan débil pese a que fue, no hay que rendirse para ser mejor.
Es una historia que, aunque vemos peleas de monstruos y lucha por superar las expectativas de tus habilidades, el protagonista nos motiva a que por más débil que puedas ser o que te determinen ello, nunca es suficiente, siempre hay que aspirar a más, a no rendirte, a saber, que si tomas una decisión arriesgada debes luchar hasta el final por lograrlo, la muerte ¿Quién no tiene miedo a la muerte? Pero es algo con lo que vivimos al nacer, y no por ello hay que tenerle miedo, hay que seguir y no dejar que eso te detenga, me encanta como la trama te hace sentir ello, te muestra como no debes dejar de superarte, de dar siempre algo más y apoyarte en lo que has conseguido.
Me encanto la animación, la historia, aunque he visto similares de mazmorras y monstruos, de subir de niveles, Solo leveling le da un toque diferente y cautivador que te engancha desde el primer capítulo, además de que los openings que les dejare por acá de la segunda temporada que fue el que me termino de converse jeje, es uno historia que no se puede dejar de apreciar, confesado que luego de verla me fui a la manga, ya que cuenta con dos temporadas, mientras viene la tercera hay que ver que sigue jeje, espero que los que no la han visto la disfruten tanto como yo.
Muchas gracias por leerlo. Espero sea de su agrado. Cualquier comentario con gusto estaré para responder y si quieren saber más de mi les dejo mis:

Hello dear friends of @TheAnimeRealm, greetings and happy day, on this occasion I come to give my opinion of an anime that has undoubtedly given me something to talk about, it really had me intrigued to see it and it took me a while to do so, well I had it on my list but I had not given it the opportunity, until between seeing several opinions and with the opening of its second season that I must say I was hooked, I said that I had to see it before the others on my list, and ps if I must say that it was worth it, It is about Solo Leveling.
Making a brief review for those who have not seen it, this anime is based on a story in which the portals containing the dungeons are present, where monsters inhabit and humans to survive suffer what they call the awakening, which allows them to have skills that allow them to hunt these monsters, That is when they receive the name of hunters, which in turn depending on the power they have are divided into different ranks where the highest is the S rank and the lowest is the E, which means that groups must be formed to support each other and to fight with the monsters of the dungeons depending on the category in which they are.
In this case our protagonist Jin-woo Sung is a hunter of rank E, which despite its category is the lowest decides to venture into these dungeons, because in them not only hunt monsters and close, also pay you for it, it's like a job, risky but a job in which allows him to support his family by circumstances that require him to do so, Despite the fear and getting hurt in combat, Jin-woo does not give up and keeps at it, until one day everything changes and he comes face to face with what would be death, but not everything is an end for him, but on the contrary, it is simply the beginning of a new stage in his life, in which he will show that as weak as he was, you do not have to give up to be better.
It is a story that, although we see monster fights and struggle to overcome the expectations of your abilities, the protagonist motivates us that no matter how weak you can be or that you determine it, it is never enough, you always have to aspire to more, to not give up, to know that if you take a risky decision you must fight to the end to achieve it, death Who is not afraid of death? But it's something we live with at birth, and that's not why you have to be afraid of it, you have to keep going and not let it stop you, I love how the plot makes you feel it, it shows you how you should never stop surpassing yourself, to always give something more and support yourself in what you have achieved.
I loved the animation, the story, although I've seen similar dungeons and monsters, leveling up, Solo leveling gives a different and captivating touch that hooks you from the first chapter, plus the openings that I will leave here of the second season that was the one that I ended up talking hehe, it is a story that you can not fail to appreciate, confessed that after seeing it I went to the sleeve, as it has two seasons, while the third season comes we must see what follows hehe, I hope that those who have not seen it enjoy it as much as me.
Thank you very much for reading it. I hope you like it. If you have any comments I'll be glad to answer and if you want to know more about me I leave my:
This year, 2026, I got off to a strong start in terms of anime, as I came across a production called Solo Leveling, an anime directed by Shunsuke Nakashige, based on the web novel and manhwa by Chugong, illustrated by Dubu. I didn't expect much from this anime, as I thought it would just be something to pass the time, but the reality was quite different. It's an animated series that stands out in many ways, with a compelling story and other aspects that are undoubtedly up to par. It even far exceeded my expectations. Below, I'll give you more details about the anime I mentioned.
The story of the anime Solo Leveling tells us about a modern world where there are hunters who fight against creatures (monsters) that want to destroy humanity. Hunters are divided into categories depending on their rank. That's where Jinwoo comes in, a young man with a very good heart, but ranked E, the weakest in the series. When he dies in a portal, he is abandoned and taken in by a system that turns him into an S-rank hunter with abilities that are unimaginable to others, even those who had abilities that, at least at first, could be compared to the protagonist's, but the reality is that he was on another level. Jinwoo used to see missions as a game, where he could improve his skills, obtain tools and objects, and thus improve with each mission, regardless of its difficulty.
I find this anime quite similar to other anime I've seen, such as SAO, because the anime looks like Jinwoo is in a game, even though his life is in danger. Another anime I find similar to One Punch-Man, because both central characters are almost impossible to defeat, although Jin is a little more human, a more realistic anime, because he does suffer certain damage. Jinwoo represents the idea that even the weakest can become the strongest if they persevere. A protagonist who, through sacrifice, achieved the unthinkable, becoming the best hunter in the animated series and saving humanity on multiple occasions. What I also love about the anime is the fact that Jinwoo always wants to help others; he doesn't just seek power for his own benefit.
Este año 2026 comencé muy fuerte en cuento a los animes se refiere, pues conseguí una producción llamado Solo Leveling, un anime dirigido por Shunsuke Nakashige, Basado en la novela web y manhwa de Chugong, ilustrado por Dubu. Este anime no espere tanto, pues creía que solo me funcionaría para pasar un rato, pero la realidad fue otra. Una serie animada que puede destacar muchos aspectos, una historia que convence y otros apartados que sin lugar a dudas están a la altura, incluso superó ampliamente mis expectativas. A continuación les voy a comentar más detalles del anime ya mencionado.
La historia del anime Solo Leveling nos habla sobre un mundo moderno donde hay cazadores que luchan contra las criaturas (Monstruos) que quería acabar con la humanidad. Los cazadores se dividen en categorías dependiendo su rango. Allí es donde aparece Jinwoo, un joven de muy buen corazón, pero de categoría E, de lo más débil que se encuentra en la serie. Cuando este muere en un portal, es abandonado, es tomando por un sistema que lo convierte en un cazador de rango S, con grandes habilidades que son imaginables para los demás personas, incluso para aquellos que tenían habilidades que al menos al principio se podría comparar con el protagonista, pero la realidad es que este estaba en otro nivel. Jinwoo solía ver las misiones como un juego, donde podía mejorar sus habilidades, obtener herramientas y objetos, con lo cual mejoraba en cada misión, sin importar la dificultad de la misma.
Este anime le encuentro bastante parecido a otros animes que he visto, como SAO, pues el anime se ve como que Jinwoo estuviese en un juego, aunque su vida estaba en peligro. Otro anime que le encuentro semejanza a One Punch-Man, pues ambos personajes centrales son casi imposibles de vencer, aunque Jin es un poco más humano, un anime más realista, pues este recibe ciertos daños. Jinwoo representa la idea de que incluso el más débil puede convertirse en el más fuerte si persevera. Un prota que con sacrificios logró lo impensado, lograr ser el mejor cazador de la serie animada, salvando a la humanidad en múltiples ocasiones. También lo que me encanta del anime es el hecho que Jinwoo siempre quiere ayudar a los demás, no solo busca el poder para sus propios beneficios.
Solo Leveling has had two seasons so far, broadcast by Crunchyroll, and is available in Spanish. A big announcement is expected this year, and personally, I hope it's a third season. Even if it's as good as the two I've seen, I want much more than three episodes. The first season is good. Our protagonist transforms from a weak-looking boy into someone completely different, with a more challenging personality and the aura of a strong hunter. The second season takes a big leap forward, with great episodes featuring spectacular scenes and adrenaline-pumping battles, but with dialog and stories that keep us hooked. This is among the best anime I've seen in recent times, and I hope the plot's conclusion lives up to expectations, as I usually find that great stories are almost always ruined. The first season of the anime consists of twelve episodes, and the second has one more, for a total of thirteen.
The animation for Solo Leveling was done by A-1 Pictures, who did a great job visually. The animation isn't perfect, it has its flaws, but overall I like the character designs, the color palette, how colorful the anime looks, and the effects during the battles. Visually, this anime stands out, or at least I think it's pretty good. Personally, I'm not usually very meticulous when it comes to details. The first season was more faithful to the novel, with fight scenes that were quite fluid, but the second season undoubtedly took a leap in quality, with epic battles, more dynamic fights, better shading, and other details that give the anime a touch of higher quality in the visual sense.
Solo Leveling ha tenido dos temporadas hasta el momento, transmitida por Crunchyroll, está el idioma español. Para este año se espera un gran anuncio que en lo personal quiero que sea una tercera temporada, que incluso de ser tan buena como las dos que he visto, quiero mucho más de tres entregas. La primera temporada es buena, nuestro protagonista pasa de la transformación de ser un chico noche, que se ve débil, a otro totalmente diferente, una personalidad más retadora, con un aura de un cazador fuerte. La segunda temporada da un gran salto, con grandes capítulos, donde hay escenas grandiosas, batallas que nos ponen a mil la adrenalina, pero con diálogos e historias que nos atrapan. Esta está entre los mejores animes que he visto en los últimos tiempos y espero un cierre de la trama que esté a la altura, pues normalmente considero que casi siempre arruinan las grandes historias. La primera temporada del anime consta de doce capítulos y la segunda posee uno más, es decir, trece.
La animación de Solo Leveling estuvo a cargo de A-1 Pictures, haciendo un gran trabajo en lo visual. La animación no es perfecta, tiene sus detalles, pero en general me gustan los diseños de los personajes, la paleta de colores, lo colorido que se ve el anime, los efectos que se ven durante las batallas. Visualmente, este anime destaca o al menos creo que está bastante bien. En lo personal no suele ser muy meticuloso cuando de detalles se trata. La primera temporada se puede decir que fue más fiel a la novela con escenas de peleas que se venía bastante fluidas, pero la segunda temporada sin lugar a dudas dio salto de calidad, con batallas épicas, peleas más dinámicas, mejores sombreados y otros detalles que le dan un toque de más calidad al anime en el sentido visual.
I love the anime's soundtrack, especially the opening theme, as well as the music that accompanies the tense moments and action scenes, which are quite numerous. This anime does not disappoint at all, with a good story that improves as the seasons progress and animation that also increases in quality with each season. Solo Leveling is an animated series that we can't miss. It will undoubtedly provide us with very entertaining moments and a very, very good plot. I eagerly await the third season of the anime and hope it doesn't disappoint me.
La banda sonora del anime me encanta, sobre todo el opening, además de las compasiones para los momentos de tensión y también para las escenas de acción que se puede decir que son bastante. Un anime que no decepciona para nada, una buena historia que mejora al pasar las temporadas, una animación que también sube de calidad con las temporadas. Solo Leveling es una serie animada que no nos podemos perder, sin lugar a dudas nos dará momentos muy entretenidos, con una trama muy, pero muy buena. Con ansias esperaré la tercera temporada del anime, espero que no me decepcione.
Gracias por su visita. Espero que les haya gustado.
Hasta una próxima oportunidad.

›Solo leveling S2: I did not wait for 2027 [ENG/ESP]@omokhafue213d
[ENG]
Alright alright, I know I said I wasn’t going to watch the second season till like 2027 and I know I went back on my words. In my defense, life got so weird and I was looking for literally anything to distract me. I had no anime recommendations whatsoever and I wasn’t feeling any new anime at the moment, so I just went for the second season. And yes, although I think solo leveling is over-hyped, I don’t deny the fact that it is a good anime.
Source
It’s been like three months since I watched this and I want to confess something. I binge-watched the entire thing. And when I say binge-watched, I mean I scarified my sleep and spent the entire night to start and finish the entire season two. And no, I am not capping. It’s a real life story. I regretted not sleeping during the day though.
The second season was very exciting, I enjoyed Jinwo’s growth and I loved the part his mum came back but I fear there must be a catch somewhere. And I was so close to continuing the manga and seeing what happens but I managed to put a leach on myself. Nuh uh, the fun is in the wait. Anyways you would not believe the smile I had on my face when all the S-rankers in that dungeon realized they were no-where near Jinwo’s level. I was ready for blood-shed not gonna lie. I wanted some of them to die, but I didn’t want Baek Yoonho and Cha Hae-in to die, so a small price to pay for salvation I guess.
Source
And there were also some suspicious scenes that I chose not to address cause I am still busy figuring it out without going on Reddit. And also, the demons, the last episode in season 2. I am so glad we finally get an insight on that, the demon that somehow helped or saved Jinwo. I am still struggling against this restraint I put on myself against checking the manga. I want to see the show, and watch everything in it. I love reading mangas, I love it so much but this one—I want to watch.
Anyways this is just me telling you guys what I think about the second season. And oh, how could I forget the fight scenes? The amazing fight scenes that had my heart in my throat and pulse racing? They were amazing, I like like liked! But Jinwo’s chin though, it’s getting too sharp. Someone tell the animators to quit on the sharpening, please.
Source
And for some reasons, i was always skipping the conversations and moving towards the fight scenes. That’s literally one of the things and I think the only thing carrying this anime—The fight scenes. The conversations, confrontations, they’re all as boring as they can be. I don’t even remember a single dialogue in the season two I watched. I was constantly just skipping to fight scenes. And there’s no…humor in solo leveling. Even if there was, it was so little I did not detect it. But asides all this, it is good.
Anyways, thanks for reading. I am back to the fam. Hopefully, I’ll be here constantly 😼

Bueno, bueno, sé que dije que no vería la segunda temporada hasta más o menos 2027 y sé que me retracté. En mi defensa, la vida se volvió muy extraña y buscaba literalmente cualquier cosa para distraerme. No tenía ninguna recomendación de anime y no me apetecía ningún anime nuevo en ese momento, así que simplemente me decidí por la segunda temporada. Y sí, aunque creo que Solo Leveling está sobrevalorado, no niego que es un buen anime. Fuente
Han pasado como tres meses desde que vi esto y quiero confesar algo. Me lo vi entero de un tirón. Y cuando digo que me lo vi entero de un tirón, me refiero a que sacrifiqué mi sueño y pasé toda la noche para empezar y terminar la segunda temporada. Y no, no estoy haciendo un maratón. Es una historia real. Aunque me arrepentí de no haber dormido durante el día.
La segunda temporada fue muy emocionante; disfruté del crecimiento de Jinwo y me encantó la parte del regreso de su madre, pero me temo que debe haber alguna trampa. Estaba a punto de continuar el manga y ver qué pasaba, pero me aproveché de una sanguijuela. No, la diversión está en la espera. En fin, no creerías la sonrisa que se me dibujó cuando todos los de rango S en esa mazmorra se dieron cuenta de que no estaban ni cerca del nivel de Jinwo. Estaba listo para el derramamiento de sangre, no voy a mentir. Quería que algunos murieran, pero no quería que Baek Yoonho y Cha Hae-in murieran, así que supongo que fue un pequeño precio a pagar por la salvación. Fuente
También había algunas escenas sospechosas que preferí no mencionar porque todavía estoy ocupado tratando de entenderlas sin tener que recurrir a Reddit. Y también, los demonios, el último episodio de la segunda temporada. Me alegra mucho que finalmente tengamos una idea de eso, del demonio que de alguna manera ayudó o salvó a Jinwo. Todavía lucho contra esta restricción que me impuse para no leer el manga. Quiero ver la serie y ver todo lo que contiene. Me encanta leer mangas, me encanta, pero este… quiero verlo.
Bueno, esto es solo mi opinión sobre la segunda temporada. Y ah, ¿cómo podría olvidar las escenas de lucha? ¿Esas increíbles escenas de lucha que me dejaron con el corazón en la garganta y el pulso acelerado? ¡Fueron increíbles, me encantaron! Pero la barbilla de Jinwo se está volviendo demasiado afilada. Que alguien les diga a los animadores que dejen de afilarla, por favor.
Fuente
Y por alguna razón, siempre me saltaba las conversaciones y me enfocaba en las escenas de lucha. Eso es literalmente una de las cosas, y creo que la única, que mantiene este anime: las escenas de lucha. Las conversaciones, los enfrentamientos, son de lo más aburridos. Ni siquiera recuerdo un solo diálogo de la segunda temporada que vi. Pasaba constantemente a las escenas de lucha. Y no hay… humor en subir de nivel en solitario. Incluso si lo hubiera, era tan poco que no lo noté. Pero dejando todo esto de lado, es bueno.
En fin, gracias por leer. He vuelto a la familia. Espero estar aquí constantemente 😼
These past few years Anime are in the top spots everywhere and in terms of everything. People are watching more anime, people are buying more Manga, people are visiting more related Festivals and ofc people are buying more and more anime-related merch.
The companies aren't stupid and that's the reason why you see anime-related stuff everywhere. Comic shops that were selling only comics, are now selling manga as well. Cinemas are now playing anime movies. In every shop that sells toys and stuff, you will also find anime merch as simple as Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
The film industry outside of Japan that considered anime a second-rate kind of thing is now creating live-action anime, has anime on their platforms and even well-known actors are taking part in them. Thus, for all of us who liked anime since we were kids, we are living the dream!
Now in case you don't know, i have both watching anime since i was a kid and i also started collecting Funko Pops around 2 years ago. An anime that made a lot of people crazy and also led some new people into the anime world is Solo Leveling.
As someone who has read Korean Manga since before it was a thing, at a time when Korean Manga were considered B-rate, which i completely disagree i have stumbled upon Solo Leveling and read it. Btw, the original source is a novel. Anyway, if you ask me, it's mediocre and not my cup of tea. I don't really like OP character since basically the beginning but there are others that like that kind of thing so who am i to judge?
Recently, Funko Pop announced an exclusive Sung Jinwoo Funko Pop, the one in the picture at the beginning of my post. Even though Funko has limited and exclusive pops, the numbered pops are, let's say, the most rare ones. So this one has 9500 in total around the world.
Then the company decides how many of them will be sent to USA and Europe and does something pretty cool. They give a certain number of these numbered pops to different stores in different countries. The stores then follow different methods, with the most usual one being announcing that they will sell the said Funko Pop on a specific date, first-come, first-served.
That way, people are getting more in the "hunt" for their collectibles, a new memory is created and they get a chance to acquire a rare piece. Note that another cool thing is that the price is retail price around 20$ or 20 euros, which is way too cool if you ask me and you will understand why if you keep reading.
So this funko pop came to my country as well in one store and the procedure was as stated above. Even though some other 9500 pop have been in my country, Sung Jinwoo was a huge success. It had the most people waiting in line. Typically, at least in my country, you may see a line of 5-10 people and later on, some more might come but they won't wait in a line.
This time, it was like 100 people waiting in line, which is huge as we are talking about specific merch for a specific anime! Ofc it was sold out and during the next days, you could find this pop on other platforms from people who were selling it for 60-100 euros! Let's see what the future holds for us!
Are you into anime funko pops?Are you into Solo Leveling?
Hello everyone, my anime fanatic friends, I hope you're doing great today, this time I want to share a new review with you, I'm going to talk a little about the second season of Solo Leveling... I know, I know, you just whisper on the internet that you like it and a battalion of people come out to tell you that it's overrated, but let's be honest... sometimes you just want something that works, something that knows what it is and delivers, and believe me, Solo Leveling delivers everything... I understand why it's breaking records, they say it broke records on Crunchyroll and has viewership numbers that overshadow even the biggest ones, it has that something that hooks you... I remember when I started the first season, and yes, the first episode was brutal, super dark, almost shocking, it definitely hooked me right away. But the rest of S1, although it was good, didn't seem to maintain that same intensity for me... it felt solid, it was enjoyable, but it didn't keep me up at night, then S2 started... and what a level!
It seems like the series itself has leveled up, just like our friend Sung Jinwoo... it's almost poetic, the series literally gets more pro along with the protagonist, improving and becoming more addictive with almost every chapter, S2 was a total addiction for me... in fact, luckily I caught it already started, so I was able to binge-watch several chapters in one go, because the way they end... what a way to cut! They leave you just when things get craziest, there screaming at the screen asking for more... and that's the main hook, the series promises you one key thing: seeing Sung Jinwoo looking incredible while he smashes enemies to pieces in spectacular fights, and it delivers on that promise, the animation is simply beautiful, A-1 Pictures really showed off, the fights are super fluid, dynamic, full of flashy lights and attacks that, boom!, you feel.
You feel the impact, it's pure visual spectacle, and sometimes, that's just what you want. Is the story super innovative? Well... the truth is, no, it's pretty straightforward: the classic weak protagonist who suddenly gains a unique power and becomes OP... we've seen a thousand stories like that, but the execution here is so, so good... it's polished, it has style and it knows exactly how to keep you hooked.
Hola a todos, amigos fanáticos del anime, espero que hoy estén genial, en esta ocasión, les quiero compartir una nueva reseña, les voy a hablar un poco de la segunda temporada de Solo Leveling.. ya sé, ya sé, tú apenas susurras en internet que te gusta y te sale un batallón de gente a decirte que está sobrevalorada, pero siendo sinceros... a veces uno solo quiere algo que funcione, algo que sepa lo que es y lo cumpla, y créanme, Solo Leveling lo cumple con todo.. es que entiendo por qué la está rompiendo, dicen que batió récords en Crunchyroll y tiene números de audiencia que le hacen sombra hasta a los más grandes, tiene ese algo que te engancha.. recuerdo cuando empecé la primera temporada, y sí, el primer capítulo fue brutal, súper oscuro, casi chocante, definitivamente me enganchó al toque. Pero el resto de la T1, aunque estuvo buena, como que no mantuvo esa misma intensidad para mí.. se sintió sólida, se disfrutaba, pero tampoco me quitaba el sueño, entonces arrancó la T2... y qué nivel!
Parece que la serie misma subió de nivel, igualito que nuestro amigo Sung Jinwoo.. es casi poético, la serie literalmente se pone más pro junto al protagonista, mejorando y volviéndose más adictiva casi con cada capítulo, la T2 fue una adicción total para mí.. de hecho, por suerte la agarré ya empezada, así que pude mandarme una maratón de varios capítulos de una, porque la forma en que terminan... ¡qué manera de cortar! Te dejan justo cuando la cosa se pone más loca, ahí gritándole a la pantalla pidiendo más.. y ese es el gancho principal, la serie te promete una cosa clave: ver a Sung Jinwoo luciendo increíble mientras hace pedazos a los enemigos en peleas espectaculares, y cumple esa promesa, la animación es simplemente una belleza, A-1 Pictures realmente se lució, las peleas son súper fluidas, dinámicas, llenas de luces flashy y ataques que ¡pum!, se sienten.
Sientes el impacto, es puro espectáculo visual, y a veces, eso es justo lo que uno quiere. ¿Que si la historia es súper innovadora? Pues... la verdad, no, es bastante directa: el clásico prota débil que de la nada consigue un poder único y se vuelve OP.. ya hemos visto mil historias así, pero la ejecución aquí es tan, tan buena.. está pulida, tiene estilo y sabe perfecto cómo mantenerte enganchado.
Now, let's talk about Jinwoo himself, the guy starts out as, literally, the 'Weakest Hunter in the World', he got beaten up all the time! Watching his whole journey, how he rises in rank, is truly enjoyable, but it's not just because of the power levels, the guy as a protagonist, honestly, is well-liked... he's not one of those super loud or annoying ones, he has his motives very clear and strong: at first it's all about finding a cure for his sick mother, and that makes him super close, it gives him a solid foundation, he has his doubts, his ambitions, those moments where he looks vulnerable even though on the outside he becomes more and more serious, colder... and when it's his turn to fight... that's when you really feel the adrenaline, he transforms completely! How he analyzes fights, how he uses his powers, those intense looks he gives, the killer phrases he lets out... you get excited with him, he has that calm charisma, but with an air of danger that never stops growing... Season 2 gave us truly epic moments! Do you remember that fight against the Ice Elf in the snow? That whole part of the Red Portal was totally crazy! Not only did the fight look spectacular, but there were also those clues that there was like a higher force, pulling the strings, sending monsters with specific orders...
Then came the whole Demon Castle arc: climbing 100 floors, nothing more, nothing less, the fight against the Demon King Baran, and ending it with that brutal punch after the beating he was receiving? Pure hype, my people, but the big moment, THE big moment that I'm sure everyone is still talking about, has to be the fight against Beru, the Ant King, on Jeju Island... that whole sequence was incredibly intense... that fight was, easily, the best the series has given us so far, it wasn't just a fight and that's it; it showed Jinwoo's strategy, his speed, his enormous power, and there it was clear that he is on another level, he went from being the 'strong hunter' to being a fully-fledged 'monster'... and how good that battle looked... visually crazy!
Ahora, hablemos del mismísimo Jinwoo, el pana empieza siendo, literal, el 'Cazador más Débil del Mundo', ¡le daban unas palizas a cada rato! Ver todo su viaje, cómo va subiendo de rango, la verdad es que da gusto, pero no es solo por los niveles de poder, el tipo como prota, la verdad, cae bien.. no es de esos súper ruidosos o molestos, tiene sus motivos bien claros y fuertes: al principio todo es por encontrarle la cura a su mamá que está enferma, y eso lo hace súper cercano, le da como una base sólida, tiene sus dudas, sus ambiciones, esos momentos donde se ve vulnerable aunque por fuera se ponga cada vez más serio, más frío.. y cuando le toca pelear.. ahí sí que se siente la adrenalina, ¡se transforma por completo! Cómo analiza las peleas, cómo usa sus poderes, esas miradas intensas que pone, las frases matadoras que suelta.. e emocionas con él, tiene ese carisma tranquilo, pero con un aire de peligro que no para de crecer.. la T2 nos regaló momentos ¡épicos de verdad! ¿Se acuerdan de esa pelea contra el Elfo de Hielo en la nieve? Toda esa parte del Portal Rojo fue ¡una locura total! No solo la pelea se veía espectacular, sino que ahí nos soltaron esas pistas de que hay como una fuerza mayor, moviendo los hilos, mandando monstruos con órdenes específicas..
Después vino todo el arco del Castillo Demoníaco: ¡subir 100 pisos, nada más y nada menos, la pelea contra el Rey Demonio Baran, ¿y terminarla con ese puñetazo brutal después de la paliza que le estaban dando? Puro hype, mi gente, pero el momentazo, EL momentazo del que seguro todo el mundo sigue hablando, tiene que ser la pelea contra Beru, el Rey Hormiga, en la Isla Jeju.. toda esa secuencia fue intensísima.. esa pelea fue, fácil, la mejor que nos ha dado la serie hasta ahora, no fue solo una pelea y ya; mostró la estrategia de Jinwoo, su velocidad, su poder descomunal, y ahí sí quedó claro que está a otro nivel, paso de ser el 'cazador fuerte' a ser un 'monstruo' hecho y derecho.. y lo bien que se vio esa batalla.. una locura visual!
But be careful, it’s not all about fighting and leveling up. The series actually surprised me with some really emotional moments this season that gave it a really cool balance. The strongest, obviously, was when Jinwoo finally gets the elixir and cures his mom… after everything he’s been through, all the risks he took, the times he almost didn’t tell… seeing him finally achieve that… his reaction was perfect, this guy who doesn’t even blink when facing horrible monsters, there he was, shaking and crying with pure relief and joy. Speaking of the army, can we talk about how incredibly cool! the Shadow Army is? Seeing how it’s growing, especially with “generals” like Igris (I wish we’d seen more of him this season), the tank Iron, the mage Tusk (now powered up!), and of course, the absolute beast that is Beru, who even talks! It gives such a unique and brutal touch to Jinwoo's power set, seeing him order them around, strategize with them, even pass them items... it's like watching someone playing with the most broken necromancer build in history, Beru joining feels like his forces got a massive level boost!
Pero ojo, que no todo es pura pelea y subir de nivel, la serie la verdad me sorprendió con unos momentos bien emotivos esta temporada que le dieron un balance súper chévere, el más fuerte, obvio, fue cuando Jinwoo por fin consigue el elixir y cura a su mamá.. después de todo lo que pasó, todos los riesgos que corrió, las veces que casi no la cuenta... verlo por fin lograr eso.. su reacción fue perfecta, este tipo que ni parpadea enfrentando monstruos horribles, ahí estaba, temblando y llorando de puro alivio y alegría. Hablando del ejército, ¿podemos hablar de lo ¡increíblemente genial! que es el Ejército de las Sombras? Ver cómo va creciendo, especialmente con los "generales" como Igris (ojalá lo hubiéramos visto más esta temporada), el tanque Iron, el mago Tusk (¡ahora repotenciado!), y por supuesto, la bestia total que es Beru, ¡que hasta habla! Le da un toque tan único y brutal al set de poderes de Jinwoo, verlo darles órdenes, armar estrategias con ellos, hasta pasarles ítems... es como ver a alguien jugando con la build de nigromante más rota de la historia, que Beru se uniera se siente como que sus fuerzas pegaron un subidón de nivel ¡masivo!
Now, is the series perfect? Neeel, it's not perfect... my main complaint, or what bothered me the most, is the pace at which Jinwoo becomes so strong, so quickly... I mean, the other S-Rank hunters are already in a bad position, they were presented as the best, and Jinwoo flew over them in this S2! It leaves you wondering how anyone else is going to be able to keep up or contribute anything important in the future... well, Cha Hae-In, who seems like she's going to put in the effort... also, while Jinwoo does develop, many of the secondary characters feel kind of flat... sometimes they are introduced and boom!, they are quickly abandoned (yes, I'm talking to you, Japanese S-Ranks!). As others have said, the story itself is simple, and maybe it does take a lot of ideas from other clichés or series that we already know, but for me, how much I enjoyed it and how well done it is trumps those little things! And that ending! Phew, people! They left us totally hooked with some really interesting stuff, and on top of that, those two spooky humanoid figures talking about a "hunt" starting and spotting Jinwoo's dad?
It gives you the creeps! It leaves everything ready for Season 3 (which has to come NOW, please!, although rumors say it won't be available until 2026... sigh). So, in short... despite some criticisms about how simple it is or the pacing, I loved Solo Leveling Season 2! It delivered exactly what I wanted: incredible action, a super-engaging power trip, impressive animation, and even some emotional moments that really hit me and that I didn't expect. It's pure uncut hype, brilliantly executed... it knows its strengths and squeezes the most out of them. For sheer fun and spectacle, it's easily one of the series I've enjoyed the most lately. My rating? I have to give it a solid 9/10. I'm giving it a few points for the sometimes crazy power-up and the missing supporting characters, but it adds a ton for the incredible action, Jinwoo's journey, the emotional moments, and just for being ridiculously fun and addictive! If you just want to have a good time with some brutal fights and a super-badass protagonist, don't miss it. What did you think? And well... that's all for today. We'll see you in the next reviews, take care! Bye!
Ahora, ¿que si la serie es perfecta? Neeel, perfecta no es.. mi queja principal, o lo que más me hizo ruido, es el ritmo con el que Jinwoo se vuelve tan fuerte, tan rápido.. o sea, los otros cazadores Rango S ya casi que quedan muy mal parados, los presentaron como lo máximo, ¡y Jinwoo les pasó por encima volando en esta T2! Te deja pensando cómo alguien más va a poder seguirle el paso o aportar algo importante en el futuro... bueno, Cha Hae-In, que parece que sí le va a echar ganas.. además, mientras Jinwoo sí se desarrolla, muchos de los personajes secundarios se sienten medio planos... a veces los presentan y ¡pum!, los dejan botados rapidito (¡sí, les hablo a ustedes, Rango S japoneses!). Como ya han dicho otros, la historia en sí es simple, y quizás sí toma muchas ideas de otros clichés o series que ya conocemos, pero para mí, lo mucho que la disfruté y lo bien hecha que está le gana a esas cositas! ¡Y ese final! ¡Uff, mi gente! Nos dejaron picadísimos con unas cosas bien interesantes, y encima esas dos figuras humanoides medio tétricas hablando de que empieza una "cacería" y detectando al papá de Jinwoo? ¡Uff, te deja con escalofríos
Deja todo listo para la T3 (¡que tiene que llegar YA, por favor!, aunque los rumores dicen que hasta 2026... suspira). Así que, en resumen.. a pesar de algunas críticas que sí tienen sentido sobre lo simple o el ritmo, ¡me encantó Solo Leveling T2! Cumplió justo lo que quería: acción increíble, un viaje de poder súper atrapante, animación impresionante y hasta unos momentos emotivos que pegaron fuerte y que no me esperaba, es puro hype sin cortar, ejecutado brillantemente.. conoce sus puntos fuertes y le saca todo el jugo, por pura diversión y espectáculo, es fácil una de las series que más he disfrutado últimamente. ¿Mi calificación? Tengo que darle un sólido 9/10. Le bajo algún puntito por esa subida de poder a veces muy loca y los secundarios que les faltó, pero ¡suma un montón por hacer una increíble acción, el viaje de Jinwoo, los momentos emotivos y, simplemente, por ser ridículamente divertida y adictiva! Si solo quieren pasarla bien con unas peleas brutales y un prota mega badass no se la pueden perder. ¿Qué pensaron ustedes? Y bueno.. esto es todo por hoy, nos veremos en las próximas reseñas, cuidense mucho! Byebye!

Greetings, friends of The Anime Realm! I’m happy to be with you once again to share another personal review of one of the most popular stories in recent times, Solo Leveling season 2.
Let's remember that this is a story based on a Korean web novel written by Chugong and later adapted into manhwa and anime. As I mentioned in my previous review of season 1, this fantasy, action, and supernatural anime introduces us to the young Sung Jinwoo, a low-ranking hunter with limited physical strength who tries to survive in a world where some humans possess special abilities and whose main mission is to fight monsters that emerge from interdimensional portals known as dungeons.
¡Saludos, amigos de The Anime Realm! Me alegra estar una vez más con ustedes para compartir otra reseña personal sobre una de las historias más populares en los últimos tiempos, se trata de Solo Leveling temporada 2.
Recordemos que esta es una historia basada en una novela web coreana escrita por Chugong y posteriormente adaptada al manhwa y al anime. Como mencioné en la pasada reseña de la temporada 1, este anime de los géneros de fantasía, acción y sobrenatural nos presenta al joven Sung Jinwoo, un cazador de bajo rango y limitada fuerza física que trata de sobrevivir en un mundo en el que algunos humanos poseen habilidades especiales y que tienen como principal misión luchar contra monstruos que surgen en portales inter dimensionales conocidos como mazmorras.
Specifically, the second season takes place chronologically right after the events of the first, where we see how Sung Jin-woo gains new skills and powers, now known as the Shadow Monarch. It should be noted that he keeps these powers a secret.
Among many things, one that caught my attention was the fact that Sung Jinwoo was able to complete the demanding challenge of the Demon Castle and thus finally obtain the potion to restore his mother's health, returning the family to apparent normality. This is also why the protagonist initially refuses to participate in the special operation on Jeju Island to face the army of mutant ants, although, as we know, he finally decides to participate and impressively demonstrate his power, thus managing to turn a difficult situation into a victory.
Another aspect that I still hope to see further developed is everything related to Sung Jin-woo's father and the resolution of many questions that the story still presents us with but which are a fundamental and interesting part of the series' plot.
En específico la segunda temporada transcurre cronológicamente justo después de los acontecimientos de la primera, allí vemos cómo Sung Jin-woo obtiene nuevos destrezas y poderes, siendo ahora conocido como el Monarca de las Sombras. Cabe resaltar que él mantiene en secreto estos poderes.
Entre tantas cosas una de las que más llamó mi atención fue el hecho de que Sung Jinwoo pudo completar el demandante reto del Castillo del Demonio y así obtener finalmente la poción para recuperar la salud de su madre, regresando a la familia a una aparente normalidad, es también por eso que el protagonista se niega en un principio a participar en la operación especial de la isla de Jeju para enfrentar al ejercito de hormigas mutantes, aunque como sabemos él finalmente decide participar y manifestar su poder de forma impresionante y así logró transformar una difícil situación en una victoria.
Otro aspecto que aun espero ver en mayor desarrollo es todo lo relacionado con el padre de Sung Jin-woo y despejar muchas interrogantes que aun nos presenta la historia pero que son parte fundamental e interesante del argumento de la serie.
This season, we see Sung Jinwoo rapidly rising through the ranks, gaining powerful new shadows that he can summon whenever necessary, giving him incredible abilities and leaving us eager to see how his character will develop in future seasons.
I eagerly await the third season to continue watching the events of this extraordinary story full of action and fantasy. Thank you for joining me here, see you soon with another review. See you later!
En esta temporada podemos ver cómo Sung Jinwoo va ascendiendo cada vez más de nivel de manera vertiginosa, siendo capaz de apoderarse de nuevas y poderosas sombras las cuales puede invocar cuando sea necesario, lo que lo convierte en un ser con increíbles capacidades y a la vez nos deja con la expectativa de cómo continuará el desarrollo de su personaje en las temporadas futuras.
Espero con ansias la tercera temporada para seguir viendo las incidencias de esta extraordinaria historia llena de acción y fantasía. Gracias por acompañarme hasta acá, nos vemos pronto con otra reseña. ¡Hasta luego!

I want to start by avoiding any misunderstanding. I liked and still like Solo Leveling. I finished watching it a few months ago and am waiting for the next season, which is supposed to come out next year.
Quiero empezar evitando todo tipo de malentendido. A mí me gustó y me gusta Solo Leveling. Hace pocos meses terminé de verla y ando esperando la próxima temporada. Que supuestamente saldría el año que viene.
The thing is, there's something that bothers me quite a bit. Something that, if they had avoided, I would like the series even more.
La cuestión es que hay algo que me inquieta bastante. Algo que si hubieran evitado, la serie me gustaría incluso más.
Solo Leveling is a spectacular series for several reasons. Mainly, because of its high dose of action. Its fights and battles are very well put together and animated. It's a real pleasure to watch these kinds of scenes.
Solo Leveling es una serie espectacular, por varias razones. Principalmente, por su alta dosis de acción. Sus peleas y batallas están muy bien armadas y animadas. Es un verdadero placer ver este tipo de escenas.
I also think the enemy designs are very good. I find them creative and original. Especially Igris. So far, he's my favorite shadow.
También considero que el diseño de enemigos es muy bueno. Me parecen creativos y originales. Sobre todo Igris. Que hasta ahora, es mi sombra favorita.
To get to the point, what ended up disappointing me a little about this series was its main character. It pains me to say this because at first I really liked Sung Jin-woo, I empathized with him a lot.
Yendo al grano, lo que me terminó desencantado un poco de esta serie fue su protagonista. Me duele decir esto porque al principio Sung Jin-woo me caía muy bien, llegué a empatizar mucho con él.
The problem lies in how poorly the character development was handled. At the beginning, we were shown a shy, insecure, and weak Sung Jin-woo. After a couple of chapters, we are shown that he has become the complete opposite. He becomes brave, strong, and calm.
El problema radica en lo mal que llevaron el desarrollo de personaje. Al inicio se nos mostraba un Sung Jin-woo tímido, inseguro y débil. Luego de un par de capítulos se nos muestra que se convirtió en todo lo contrario. Se vuelve valiente, fuerte y calmo.
What I didn't like was, first of all, the extreme change and, secondly, that it happened in such a short time. Literally, this made me disconnect from the protagonist. It got to the point where I got tired of that “I can do anything” personality. I ended up getting fed up with the fact that he had to be perfect all the time.
Lo que a mí precisamente no me gustó fue en primer lugar el cambio tan extremo y segundo, que se diera en tan poco tiempo. Literalmente, esto hizo que me desconectara del protagonista. Llegó a un punto donde me cansó esa personalidad de “todo lo puedo”. Me terminó hartando el hecho de que tenga que ser perfecto todo el tiempo.
This may seem like a minor point, and I may be being a bit picky, but I feel like they dehumanized the protagonist a lot. After he was able to cure his mother, I couldn't empathize with Sung Jinwoo anymore.
Probablemente, esto les parezca algo sin importancia y yo esté siendo un poco quisquilloso, pero siento que deshumanizaron mucho al protagonista. Luego de que haya podido curar a su madre, no pude empatizar más con Sung Jinwoo.
In my opinion, Sung Jinwoo's evolution should have been slower, more gradual, and somewhat justified. Give me a coherent reason for the protagonist to become cold, expressionless, and calm. It makes no sense for him to become like that after doing a couple of sit-ups and killing a couple of bugs.
En mi opinión, la evolución de Sung Jinwoo debió ser más lenta, escalonada y con algo justificación. Dame un motivo coherente para que el protagonista se volviera frío, inexpresivo y calmado. No tiene sentido que se volviera así luego de un par de abdominales y de matar un par de bichos.
You're going to hate me for saying this, but I think they completely ruined the character. They threw away all the great potential he had.
Me van a odiar por decir esto, pero pienso que directamente arruinaron el personaje. Tiraron a la basura el gran potencial que tenía.
That doesn't mean I don't like leveling. It's just that if they had improved this aspect, I would like it even more. Personally, I'm going to continue watching it without thinking too much about it. I guess this isn't a deep series with character development. Not all anime can be Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Esto no quita que solo leveling guste. Simplemente que si hubieran mejorado esta cuestión, me gustaría incluso más. En lo personal, voy a continuar viéndola sin pensar demasiado. Supongo que esta no es una serie profunda y con desarrollo de personal. No todos los animes puede ser Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Thank you very much for reading my review. It is a pleasure to share with you. I look forward to posting in this community in the future. I send you all a big hug and hope you are having a good day.🎞️🎬

So.... let me just tell you how I ended up watching Solo Leveling the three night ago , I had a night shift at my work place , and honestly, that day shift was one of those quiet ones where nothing much was really happening, you know those kinds of nights when you are expected to be busy, but everything is just unusually calm.... Yeah, that was it, so, instead of just staring at the clock or scrolling endlessly through my phone , I decided to make good use of my time and finally watch Solo Leveling , and let me just say it was the best decision ever.
From the very first episode, I was hooked , the way the anime starts off, introducing Sung Jin-Woo, who they literally call the weakest hunter alive , made me shake my head, like, I could actually feel the embarrassment he was carrying, Imagine going into battles where everyone else is strong, and you’re just the one dragging everyone behind and at some point, I even asked myself, “omo would I still be showing up if I was this weak?” But then again, that’s what made this whole story relatable, he was not some overpowered character from the start, he was just a guy trying to survive in a world that didn’t rate him at all.
And While I was watching, I liked how the dungeons and monsters were animated, they gave off this very dark and creepy vibe that did keep me alert, even though I was supposed to be “working.” there was this one scene that made me pause and look around like, “What if these monsters just popped up here?”lol ..... That’s how immersed I was, the mix of fear and suspense had me glued to my screen, forgetting that time was moving at all.
What really got me though was when Jin-Woo had that near-death experience in the dungeon gate that has turned red while they were in , that was the turning point, my heart was literally pounding, and I was like, “Guy, are you going to die in episode one?!” But then the whole “System” thing appeared, and he got that power where he could level up like a game character,at that point, I knew this anime was going to be something different,I mean the idea of leveling up endlessly, becoming stronger after every fight, and unlocking new abilities, ah, it was just so satisfying to watch.
Another thing I noticed while watching at work was how smooth the pacing was,You know some anime take forever to build up, dragging scenes that make you yawn, but Solo Leveling didn’t waste my time , every scene felt like it had a purpose, and the animation? It was top notch, They really put in effort to make the fights look intense, I even had to adjust the brightness of my phone because the dark tones were pulling me in so much.
At some point, I caught myself smiling like an idiot, and I had to quickly compose myself before my colleagues thought I was losing it, That’s how much I was enjoying it, there’s something about seeing an underdog rise that just hits differently, the way Jin-Woo transformed from being weak to gradually becoming strong gave me this rush of motivation like, “If this guy can pull through, maybe I can too.”
By the time I got deeper into the episodes, I completely forgot I was on shift, the workplace was quiet, the clock was ticking slowly, and here I was, lost in a world of hunters, dungeons, and monsters.it really made that night shift one of the best I’ve had in a while because I didn’t even feel the usual boredom or sleepiness that comes with working at night.
So yeah, my first watch of Solo Leveling wasn’t just about enjoying a good anime, it was also about making the most of a slow night, the storyline, the character growth, the action, it all blended perfectly to keep me entertained while everyone else around me was either busy with little tasks or dozing off, and now, I can confidently say Solo Leveling deserves all the hype it’s been getting.

This story begins with some students who are instantly transported to a different world. Where a goddess named Vicius asks for their help. It turns out that every so often the demonic realm is revealed and they need heroes to confront it. This would be possible thanks to the different powers given to them when they arrive in this reality.
Esta historia comienza con unos alumnos que son transportados instantáneamente a un mundo diferente. Donde una diosa llamada Vicius les pide ayuda. Resulta cada cierto tiempo el reino demoníaco se revela y necesitan de héroes para hacerle frente. Esto sería posible gracias a los distintos poderes que se les otorgaron al llegar a esta realidad.
We star Touka Mimor, a quiet and outcast boy. As he turned out to be the hero with the lowest level, he was expelled and sent to some waste ruins with the excuse of being a burden for the rest. Before leaving, Mimor curses Vicius and promises revenge against her and against the companions who betrayed him.
Protagonizamos a Touka Mimor, un chico tranquilo y marginado. Que como resultó ser el héroe con el nivel más bajo fue expulsado y enviado a unas ruinas de desechos con la excusa de ser una carga para el resto. Mimor antes de irse maldice a Vicius y promete venganza contra ella y contra los compañeros que lo traicionaron.
I have to say that I loved the beginning. The protagonist was so mistreated and underestimated by most of the characters that it made me want him to become tremendously broken like Solo Leveling. They were very good at creating the perfect scenario for us to empathize with the protagonist. And for us to want him to get his revenge.
Tengo que decir que el inicio me encantó. El protagonista fue tan maltratado y subestimado por la mayoría de personajes que me provocó una ganas tremendas de que se vuelva tremendamente roto como si fuera Solo Leveling. Fueron muy buenos creando el escenario perfecto para que empaticemos con el protagonista. Y para que deseemos que consiga su venganza.
I'm not sure, but I dare say that this series was created for those who were left wanting to see more Solo Leveling. Since it has several similarities with it. For example, they use the same method to categorize the Heroes. The strongest ones are class S and the weakest ones are class E. In addition, they all have a built-in leveling system to increase their stats. Now that I think about it, it wouldn't seem strange to me that they would be sued for plagiarism 🤣.
No estoy seguro, pero me atrevo a decir que esta serie fue creada para aquellos que se quedaron con las ganas de ver más Solo Leveling. Ya que tiene varias similitudes con ella. Por ejemplo, utilizan el mismo método para categorizar a los Héroes. Los más fuertes son clase S y los más débiles E. Sumado a que todos tienen incorporado un sistema de niveles para subir sus estadísticas. Ahora que lo pienso, no me parecería raro que se lleven una demanda por plagio 🤣
From what I saw so far, I'd say its lowest point is its animation. They abused the CGI too much. On several occasions it looks bad and awful. I lost count of the times where the main character looks like a cardboard figure. I'm not usually very picky about this aspect, but the animation is so bad that it breaks with the plot. I guess there wasn't much budget to create this series.
Por lo que vi hasta ahora, diría que su punto más bajo es su animación. Abusaron demasiado del CGI. En varias ocasiones queda mal y espantoso. Perdí la cuenta de las veces donde el protagonista parece una figura de cartón. No suelo ser muy exigente con este aspecto, pero llaga a ser tan mala la animación que rompe con la trama. Supongo que no hubo demasiado presupuesto para crear esta serie.
Another low point was the excessive sexualization. Really, it gets to be ordinary and very annoying. Some of it I can tolerate and understand, but here they went way overboard. For example, there's a scene where a girl is all covered up because she's hiding, the only part that's uncovered is her cleavage with gigantic boobs! Seriously, it's really disgusting. And it's not an isolated case, there are many more examples. Personally, I feel this takes away a lot of seriousness from the series.
Otro punto bajo fue la excesiva sexualización. Realmente, llega a ser ordinario y muy molesto. Un poco lo puedo tolerar y entender, pero aquí se pasaron mucho. Por ejemplo, hay una escena donde una chica está toda tapada porque se está escondiendo. ¡LA ÚNICA PARTE QUE ESTÁ DESCUBIERTA ES EL ESCOTE CON UNAS TETAS GIGANTES! En serio, es muy desagradable. Y no es un caso aislado, hay muchos más ejemplos. En lo personal, siento que esto le quita mucha seriedad a la serie.
In conclusion, for me the series is regular. It had a good start, but then it went down a bit in level. I'm going to keep watching it, since it only has 12 episodes, but without too much optimism. To be honest, you're not missing much. I would only recommend it to those who are big fans of Solo Leveling style series.
En conclusión, para mí la serie es regular. Tuvo un bien inicio, pero luego bajó un poco de nivel. Voy a seguir viéndola, ya que solo tiene 12 capítulos, pero sin demasiado optimismo. Siendo sincero, no se están perdiendo de mucho. Solo se la recomendaría a aquellos que son muy fan de las series estilo Solo Leveling.

Hello, friends of The Anime Realm! It’s a pleasure to be with you once again to share a review of one of the anime that has revolutionized the action genre in recent times, Solo Leveling, specifically its first season.
This story based on a Korean web novel written by Chugong and later adapted to manhwa and anime, presents us with a plot that unfolds between fantasy, action and the supernatural. There we meet a teenager named Sung Jinwoo, a hunter of low rank and little physical strength who tries to survive in a world where some humans possess special abilities and must fight against monsters that emerge in inter-dimensional portals known as dungeons, all this in order to protect humanity.
¡Hola, amigos de The Anime Realm! Un placer estar una vez más con ustedes para compartir una reseña sobre uno de los animes que más ha revolucionado el género de acción en los últimos tiempos, se trata de Solo Leveling, específicamente su primera temporada.
Esta historia basada en una novela web coreana escrita por Chugong y posteriormente adaptada al manhwa y al anime, nos presenta una trama que se desenvuelve entre la fantasía, la acción y lo sobrenatural. Allí nos encontramos a un adolescente llamado Sung Jinwoo, un cazador de bajo rango y poca fuerza física que trata de sobrevivir en un mundo en el que algunos humanos poseen habilidades especiales y que deben luchar contra monstruos que surgen en portales inter dimensionales conocidos como mazmorras, todo esto con el fin de proteger a la humanidad.
If we focus on the first season I can say that my impression of the series did not meet all those great expectations I had, because it had been recommended to me on numerous occasions and I can even say that I had been pressured enough to see it, however now that I'm watching the second season the picture looks much better and the immense hype that has had the series is justified much more.
Going back to the review of the first season, after seeing the protagonist barely survive an incredibly powerful type of dungeon and that an enigmatic program called the System chooses him exclusively as its player, giving him the ability to continuously level up, several questions began to haunt my head: How did the inter-dimensional portals come about, who is the creator of the mysterious program known as the System, why does the System choose precisely the weak young Sung Jinwoo, among others? I guess as the story unfolds and the seasons progress these questions will be revealed.
Si nos enfocamos en la primera temporada puedo decir que mi impresión de la serie no cubrió con todas esas grandes expectativas que tenía, debido a que me la habían recomendado en numerosas oportunidades y hasta puedo decir que me habían presionada bastante para que la viera, sin embrago ahora que ya estoy viendo su segunda temporada el panorama pinta mucho mejor y ese inmenso hype que ha tenido la serie se justifica mucho más.
Retomando la reseña de la primera temporada, después ver al protagonista apenas sobrevivir a un tipo de mazmorra increíblemente poderosa y que un enigmático programa llamado el Sistema lo elige exclusivamente a él como su jugador, dándole la capacidad de subir continuamente de nivel, varias preguntas empezaron a rondar mi cabeza: ¿Cómo surgieron los portales inter dimensionales?, ¿Quién es el creador del misterioso programa conocido como el Sistema?, ¿Por qué el Sistema elige precisamente al débil joven Sung Jinwoo?, entre otras. Supongo que a medida que la historia se vaya desarrollando y las temporadas avancen estas incógnitas se irán desvelando.
In particular, I’m very interested in the part of the plot in which Sung Jinwoo struggles to get an antidote to cure his mother of a rare disease that arose precisely since the appearance of the dungeons and that has her prostrated in a deep sleep that seems to have no end. I’m very struck by how the protagonist will manage to find a solution to this situation that for him must be painful and desperate and therefore represents a great personal motivation in the development of the story.
When I saw the results of the Crunchyroll Awards 2025 and when I learned that the voting was to take into account only the first season of this series, I was left with my doubts about whether Solo Leveling deserved the award for best anime of the year, above other anime of the caliber of Frieren and Dan Da Dan. Now, from what I have seen so far, I consider that the second season does have what it takes, but I understand that it will be taken into account for next year's awards.
En lo particular me interesa mucho la parte de la trama en la que Sung Jinwoo lucha por conseguir un antídoto para sanar a su madre de una rara enfermedad que surgió precisamente desde la aparición de las mazmorras y que la tiene postrada en un sueño profundo que parece no tener fin. Me llama mucho la atención cómo el protagonista se las arreglará para darle solución a esta situación que para él ha de ser dolorosa y desesperante y por lo tanto representa una gran motivación personal en el desarrollo de la historia.
Cuando vi los resultados de las premiaciones de los Crunchyroll Awards 2025 y al enterarme de que la votación debía tomar en cuenta solo la primera temporada de esta serie, quedé con mis dudas sobre si Solo Leveling merecía el premio al mejor anime del año, por encima de otros animes del calibre de Frieren y Dan Da Dan. Ahora bien, por lo que he visto hasta ahora considero que la segunda temporada sí que tiene lo necesario, sin embrago tengo entendido que esta se tomaría en cuanta para las premiaciones del próximo año.

›Anime Review: Solo Leveling~From Underestimated Weakling to Shadow Monarch@seunruth362d
Permit me to say this but this is one of the most interesting anime I've watched so far.
People have been telling me about Soul Levelling. Well, actually I'm not the kind of person that pressure affects.
I wasn't in a hungry to watch the movie, I kept doing my stuff😁
Now, how did I decide to watch it? It all started on a slow weekend scroll, Netflix and Crunchyroll packed with anime trailers and memes. Then I stumbled on Solo Leveling, tagged as the highest-rated anime in Crunchyroll history and “Anime of the Year.” Big claims—but what grabbed me was the breakfast clip: A defenseless hunter suddenly bursting with power, shadows swirling, dark and electric.
Actually what pulled me into this anime was the dark powers around it. Never could I have guessed I'll be so captivated. I really love good movies.
The story is set in a world where monsters are attacking and people with supernatural powers, called hunters, are protecting humanity. In walks the weakest among them all, Sung Jin-Woo. He is the only E-rank hunter, practically powerless, with maintenance quests being the only way he manages to survive.
All this is reversed when he successfully comes out of a deadly double dungeon. He is not killed, but is turned into a participant of some kind of unknown System. He is suddenly able to level up, become stronger and have shadow powers. Since then, he has changed, not only to defend his mother and sister but to fight monsters that are well beyond the power of mortals. His quest is escalating in order to become the Shadow Monarch, a god-like creature on the boundary of human abilities
When I heard that very first dungeon theme, I was getting goosebumps. In more than 25 episodes I was swept along on a tidal wave of tension and triumph, laughter and loss. I was amused by the stumbling first steps of leadership on the part of Jin-Woo.
I cheered when he finally punched through walls. And some scenes like his reunion with his mother tore my heart. One Reddit fan said:
“This moment… was a moment of victory… not weakness. I think this moment made him more human.”
That single moment, his tears landed harder than dozens of battles.
According to one critic, A-1 did not simply animate it; they made it come to life to the point where the still manhwa art was transformed into a powerful, glorious showpiece
And it does. According to Reddit enthusiasts, its ambiance and its impact are unquestionable, despite the fact that CGI antagonists say it is style rather than content.
But honestly? I would prefer breathtaking animation with cool vibe any day
It was not the monsters that amazed me the most, it was the development of Jin-Woo.
He begins as an unconfident, demeaned, burdened family man. But the more powerful he is, the more complex he is. He is hungry to guard, yet might cost something. His humanity is being eroded by every win. One blog pointed out how voice actor Aleks Le brought more emotional character to Jin-Woo than the manhwa did, particularly in dangerous situations such as his first kill.
Even minor characters such as Cha Hae-In and Yoo Jinho are full of personality. Gun-hee, the president of the association, does not sound as a mere bureaucrat with voice work adding layers to his character.
There are a lot of things portrayed in this movie such as example
Power and Responsibility: A lot of shows address this, but Solo Leveling escalates it to such personal levels. Each and every floor, each battle alters Jin-Woo. That twinkle in his eye as the System refers to him as the Shadow Monarch? It is terrifying and breathtaking at the same time.
Family as Motivator: At the beginning of the story, Jin-Woo is fighting for mom and sister, plain and pure motive. No glory, no glory, but love. The time when they find their lives back? It is a sense of gratification.
Man vs. God: He becomes god-like. But the more powerful he is, the further away he is. He is even afraid to lose himself. Reddit wrote about how Jin-Woo confesses that his humanity is slipping away . The series is emotionally supported by that battle, human vs monarch.
As episode 25 rolled to an end I sat in silence for a long time.
I thought about the price of power. Jin-Woo’s tears felt earned because they revealed someone who cared—who feared slipping away from love.
I found some of myself in him. The segment that aspires to get to the next level. The segment that desires to defend. And the other side that fears to lose control.
Solo Leveling helped me realize that strength is more than that which you are fighting against- and even more importantly, who you are trying to defend. It brought to my mind that power may flower, but not strangle what it is to be human.
Season 3 will be released in January 2026, and the story remains to be further developed (up to four seasons overall).
In the future, there will be even greater shadows of war, more events in the world, perhaps even moral flips.
I cannot wait. Not only to the battles, but to the emotional stakes which remain fresh.

Today's anime is Solo Leveling, and I will be reviewing it for you guys. This anime is well-known in 2024 and 2025 because it reached great heights. Well, I mean the anime fans really liked it very much, and so did I. After watching this anime, my expectations have become higher. As a new anime watcher, this anime is exceptional to me. I really enjoyed every episode of season 1. I didn't get the time to start season 2, but hopefully, I can start watching it very soon. Season 1 is really amazing; I could not believe that I have watched something this incredible. I have heard people saying there are plenty of stories similar to the same concept, but I believe this is one of the best.
The English dub is so good; I could feel the intense moments just as I do with Japanese dubbed series. I feel they really did a good job with the English version. I have rarely seen animes with good English dubs. In the trailer, we see elements like dimensions and a section of hunters fighting against monsters, and our protagonist is known as the weakest hunter. I liked the spirit of the protagonist, which attracted me to watch this anime. I planned to watch it in English dub because I prefer English dubs the most when there are good voice actors.
Creator: Chu-gong
Release date: January 7, 2024
Episodes: 12
Genre: Shonen, Isekai, Power Fantasy, action-fantasy
A world where hunters exist; they are the only humans who has the magical abilities. With this ability, they must battle dangerous monsters from other dimensions to protect the human race. In this world, our protagonist is Sung Jinwoo, who is known as a weak hunter. He struggles for his family's survival as he's the only provider. One day, luckily, he survives a powerful double dungeon that almost wiped out his entire team.
It is shown that a strange program called the System chooses him as its sole player. This system gives him the super rare ability to level up in strength, which can go beyond any limits that have not been revealed yet. Then our protagonist sets out on a journey as he starts to fight against all kinds of enemies; it could be a human or a monster. He does all this for his family and in order to find out the secrets of the dungeons, along with the true source of his powers.
This anime has jaw-dropping action sequences and a really good amount of deep character growth. Every episode flows smoothly; there's intense combat and so much of emotional depth. I liked the fact that the story never drags, and it never felt rushed because everything is perfectly placed to keep viewers on edge. It’s the kind of anime that you can watch without realizing the time. The animation quality is breathtaking. Every fighting scene is very detailed. The movements look very realistic and powerful; this is not just good animation, but it’s something on the next level.
I don't know if you have read the manhwa or not, but this anime delivers peak entertainment. I did not read the manhwa and have seen that many people prefer it, but as I don't read, the anime is the best version for me. Anyway, I love dark fantasies and remarkable protagonists with cool action; if you like those things too, then Solo Leveling is a must-watch anime for you. Jinwoo's character is incredibly well-written. His transformation is satisfying, and I can relate to the character. Well, I would definitely recommend watching this anime.
Can you imagine having access to your favorite video game as yourself without having to use an avatar? That was the impression that the series Solo Leveling left on me after watching its two full seasons. I mean, I couldn't stop thinking about that situation, which is why one of the things that impacted me the most was its first episode in the first season. It was different from other anime I've seen, and believe me, I've seen too many and none compare. The fact that they present this brilliant main idea, where you can see an entire universe as if it were a futuristic, or rather, alien, video game, was cool to me.
¿Te imaginas tener acceso a tu video juego favorito siendo tú mismo sin tener que usar un avatar? Esta fue la impresión que me dejó plasmada la serie Solo Leveling luego de ver sus 2 temporadas completas. Es decir, no podía dejar de pensar en esa situación, por lo que una de las cosas que más me impactó fue su primer episodio en la primera temporada. Fue totalmente diferente a otros animés que he visto, y créanme que he visto demasiados y ninguno se le compara. El hecho de que planteen esta idea principal tan genial donde puedes ver un universo entero como si fuera un video juego futurista o mejor dicho, alienígena, me resultó genial.
Another aspect I must highlight is the fight scenes. Each one of them was masterful. I also couldn't help but feel some nostalgia when I saw the evil smile of that giant statue that I can't get out of my head to this day, and that reminded me a bit of the Machiavellian smile of the giants in Attack on Titan. It was a macabre, terrifying, and extremely stressful scene for me; the truth is that at a certain point, I didn't know what was going to happen there. On the other hand, Jinwoo's evolution from Season 1 to the drastic change in Season 2, I still don't understand why it happened, and also why he can continue leveling up when the others have already reached their maximum. Did an expansion with those portals come out with him? (🤣 I know it was a bad joke 🤣).
Otro aspecto que debo resaltar son las escenas de las peleas. Todas y cada una de ellas estuvieron magistrales. Además no pude evitar sentir algo de nostalgia al verle la sonrisa perversa de esa estatua gigante que no logro sacar de mi cabeza hasta el día de hoy y que me recordó un poco a la sonrisa maquiavélica de los gigantes de Atack on Titans. Fue una escena macabra, terrorífica y sumamente estresante para mí, la verdad es que en cierto punto no sabía lo que iba a ocurrir allí. Por otro lado, la evolución de Jinwoo de la temporada 1 al cambio drástico de la temporada 2, sigo sin entender a qué se debió y también por qué puede seguir subiendo de nivel cuando ya los demás llegaron a su punto máximo, ¿es que acaso con él salió una expansión con esos portales? (🤣 lo sé fue un mal chiste 🤣).
Here, the series shows that no matter your size or how physically strong you appear, what counts in the end is strategy, like a game of chess. Sometimes you have to sacrifice fundamental elements or pieces to ensure victory, and that's what was shown to us throughout 25 episodes. Jinwoo's change was not only seen on a physical level but also an intellectual and human level, because at a certain point, he put aside his essence to obtain more power. His personality change was so great that it reminded me too much of the atrocious acts where he not only quenched his thirst for more power but also manipulated other players in his favor, adding extra benefits in unexpected ways. That's why I see this protagonist more as a villain than a hero, and I intend to maintain my opinion until proven otherwise in the following seasons.
Acá la serie demuestra que no importa el tamaño que tengas ni la fuerza física que aparentas tener, lo que vale al final de todo es la estrategia, como un juego de ajedrez. A veces debes sacrificar elementos o piezas fundamentales para asegurar la victoria y eso fue lo que nos demostraron a lo largo de 25 episodios. El cambio de Jinwoo no sólo se vio a nivel físico sino también intelectual y humano, porque en cierto punto dejó de lado su esencia para obtener más poder. Tanto fue su cambio de personalidad que me recordó demasiado a los actos atroces donde no sólo saciaba su sed de obtener más poder sino que manipuló a otros jugadores a su favor, agregando beneficios extras de manera inesperada. Es por eso que a este protagonista lo veo más como un villano que como un héroe y pienso mantener mi opinión hasta que se demuestre lo contrario en las siguientes temporadas.
I can't end my post without adding that the last episode of the second season was epic. I'm eager for the third season to come out, and the episode where Jinwoo managed to deliver the health potion to his mother was memorable. To conclude, I can say that this series pushes the protagonist to his limits, with highs and lows, or drastic changes in his personality that make the viewer doubt whether he's bipolar or whether, by gaining so much power, he's left his humanity behind forever. I've had many doubts since the second season, and my expectations are sky-high for the third. In the meantime, I'm going to settle for the Kimetsu no Yaiba movie, which is about to be released while I wait.
No puedo terminar mi post sin agregar que el último episodio de la segunda temporada fue épico. Estoy ansioso de que salga la tercera temporada y el capítulo donde Jinwoo logró entregarle la poción de salud a su madre fue memorable. Para concluir puedo decir que esta serie lleva al protagonista a sus límites, con picos altos y bajos o cambios drásticos en su forma de ser donde pone a dudar al espectador si será que es bipolar o por obtener tanto poder dejó atrás su humanidad para siempre? Tengo muchas dudas desde la segunda temporada y mis expectativas están altísimas para la tercera. Mientras tanto voy a conformarme con la película de Kimetsu no Yaiba que está por estrenarse mientras espero.
Finally, I saw Solo Leveling! I don't know if I really put off watching it, especially with the popularity and the good comments it has received and the truth is, there is a lot of reason in them; it is a somewhat generic plot, but captivating and highly entertaining, so much so that I digested the two seasons in two days, that is to say, one for each day. Adding that, the protagonist, his way of acting is interesting, so, here I leave you my points of view.
Ore dake Level Up na Ken (Japanese name) was released in 2024, with a first part of 12 episodes; ending that first season with a second part in 2025 with 13 more episodes, that is, a total of 25 episodes so far, we can find this story, which is an adaptation of the homonymous webtoon. Its creator is Marin and in its animated version, its director was Shunsuke Nakashige, under the animation studio A-1 Pictures, is of action and fantasy genre.
The story takes place in a world that was invaded by one portals ten years ago, which connect the world of humans with the world of monsters, after the invasion of these creatures and that human weapons did not work with it, did that awakened in certain individuals supernatural abilities, called “hunters”, which are divided into rank, from the least to the greatest power, classified into E, D, C, B, A and S, being the highest, however there is a higher level, which are the national hunters.
Anyway, the plot focuses on Sung Jin-Woo, who is a hunter E and nicknamed the weakest weapon of mankind, getting mostly seriously injured during raids to the dungeons, that is, inside the portals; motivated to help his family, even if not strong enough and risking his life, he does not hesitate to go into danger. Everything changes, when they encounter a double dungeon, as it would contain traps and creatures really at a very high level, killing most of the team in which he was going.
Jin-Woo, being on the verge of imminent death, is saved by a game screen, awakening to what would be known as the “System”. What will this mean and why will it give him the power to raise his level each time? Will he be able to save and protect his family? What will this mysterious dungeon be?
To be honest, it is not such an innovative plot, it is the typical protagonist who has no power at the beginning and ends up being the strongest of all, however, I consider that the strong point of solo leveling is the constant action that we are given repeatedly, visually it is spectacular, it makes it addictive battle scenes, the skills that are shown and how it is going up in level. It really made me very exciting that I ended up reading the manwha, well, I started reading from chapter 107, so I didn't drink the whole story.
Even though, I ended up liking it, I also have to admit the flaws that the plot has and it's repetitive of the situations, Jin-Woo defeating the enemy and leveling up, some more complicated than others, but in the end it becomes the same and they don't seek to wave much more in the secondary characters, you even end up forgetting the other hunters that you thought they had more importance in the story, because they become like a filler, I don't know if I'm explaining myself well. Let's be clear, it lacked potential and to be more creative, it was like “look at how I gain power”; even so, I feel that the personality of the protagonist is something that is not seen in many anime and that is interesting, even more when little by little you discover the secrets behind his powers, so you can leave aside those negative points and enjoy pleasantly a highly entertaining anime.
As for the animation and the design of the characters, I liked them, it has enough quality, especially the battle scenes, visually I felt them exciting; the music was very consistent, at least in this first season divided in two that they have done, especially the opening of the second part, where Lisa and Felix starring an excellent entrance, although, yes, although I felt that visually the opening lacked more drama, more because of how powerful the song sounds, which I love and I keep listening to it. Something I must mention is that there is a phrase and a saying that came to my mind every time I saw the main character: “What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger” and “He who is afraid to die, don't be born”.
9/10 Story │ 10/10 Animation │ 10/10 Sound │ 10/10 Character design │ 9/10 Overall.
I can't give it a full 10, because of the flaws it has, but that doesn't take away from how exciting it is and how addictive it becomes (yes, I'm contradictory). It's not for a general audience, because of its bloody and explicit scenes.

Thank you for reading my post. I hope you liked it. I will be attentive to answer your comments. You can visit my blog, follow my content and social networks.
¡Por fin, vi Solo Leveling! No sé realmente postergué el tanto verla, más con la popularidad y los buenos comentarios que ha recibido y la verdad, hay mucha razón en ellos; es una trama un poco genérica, pero cautivadora y sumamente entretenida, tanto que me digerí las dos temporadas en dos días, es decir, una por cada día. Agregando que, el protagonista, resulta interesante su manera de actuar, así que, aquí les dejo mis puntos de vista.
Ore dake Level Up na Ken (nombre en japones) fue estrenado en el 2024, con una primera parte de 12 episodios; finalizando esa primera temporada con una segunda parte en el 2025 con 13 episodios más, es decir, un total de 25 episodios hasta el momento, podemos encontrar de esta historia, el cual es una adaptación del webtoon homónimo. Su creador es Marin y en su versión animada, su director fue Shunsuke Nakashige, bajo el estudio de animación A-1 Pictures, es de genero acción y fantasía.
La historia se desarrolla en un mundo que fue invadido por uno portales diez años atrás, que conectan el mundo de los humanos con el de unos monstruos, tras la invasión de estas criaturas y que las armas humanas no funcionaban con ello, hizo que despertara en ciertos individuos habilidades sobrenaturales, llamados “cazadores”; mismos que se dividen en rango, desde el menos al mayor poder, clasificándose en E, D, C, B, A y S, siendo el más alto, sin embargo existe un nivel superior, que son los cazadores nacionales.
En fin, la trama se centra en Sung Jin-Woo, quién es un cazador E y apodado el arma más débil de la humanidad, saliendo mayormente herido de gravedad durante las incursiones a las mazmorras, es decir, dentro de los portales; motivado por ayudar a su familia, aun si la fuerza suficiente y arriesgando su vida, no duda en ir adentro del peligro. Todo cambia, cuando se encuentran con una doble mazmorra, pues contendría trampas y criaturas realmente en un nivel muy alto, matando a la mayoría del equipo en el que iba.
Jin-Woo al estar al borde de una muerte inminente, es salvado por una pantalla de juego, despertando a lo que se conocería el “Sistema” ¿Qué significará esto y porque le otorgará el poder de elevar su nivel cada vez? ¿Será capaz de salvar y proteger a su familia? ¿Qué será esa misteriosa mazmorra?
Siendo sincera, no es una trama tan innovadora, es el típico protagonista que no tiene ningún poder al inicio y termina siendo el más fuerte de todo, sin embargo, considero que el punto fuerte de solo leveling es la acción constante que nos dan en reiteradas veces, visualmente es espectacular, lo vuelve adictivo las escenas de batallas, las habilidades que se van mostrando y como el mismo va subiendo de nivel. Realmente se me hizo muy emocionante que me terminé leyendo el manwha, bueno, comencé a leer desde el capítulo 107, así que tampoco me pasé en beberme toda la historia.
A pesar de que, me termino gustando, también tengo que admitir las fallas que tiene la trama y es repetitivo de las situaciones, Jin-Woo derrotando el enemigo y subiendo de nivel, algunos más complicados que otros, pero al final se vuelve lo mismo y no buscan ondear mucho más en los personajes secundarios, incluso terminas por olvidar a los demás cazadores que creías que tenían como más importancia en la historia, pues se vuelven como un relleno, no sé si me explico bien. Vamos a estar claro, le falto potencial y ser más creativos, era como “mira como subo de poder”; aun así, siento que la personalidad del protagonista es algo que no se ve en muchos animes y que resulta interesante, más aún cuando poco a poco se va descubriendo los secretos detrás de sus poderes, por ello se puede dejar de un lado esos puntos negativos y disfrutar gratamente de un anime sumamente entretenido.
En cuanto a la animación y el diseño de los personajes, me gustaron, tiene bastante calidad, sobre todo las escenas de batallas, uffs visualmente las sentí emocionantes; la música estuvo muy acorde, por lo menos en esta primera temporada dividida en dos que han hecho, sobre todo el opening de la segunda parte, donde Lisa y Felix protagonizando una excelente entrada, aunque, si, aunque sentí que visualmente al opening le faltó más dramatismo, más por lo poderosa que suena la canción, que me encanta y la sigo escuchando. Algo que debo acotar y es que hay una frase y un refrán que se me venia a la mente cada vez que veía al protagonista y son estas: “Lo que no te mata, te hace más fuerte” y “El que tenga miedo a morir, que no nazca”.
9/10 Historia │ 10/10 Animación │ 10/10 Sonido │ 10/10 Diseño de personajes │ 9/10 General
No puedo darle un 10 completo, por las fallas que tiene, pero eso no quita lo emocionante que es y lo adictiva que se vuelve (sí, soy contradictoria). Eso sí, no es para un público general, por sus escenas sangrientas y bien explicitas.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I finished both seasons of Solo Leveling in one week. In my defense, I have to say that this series is very addictive.
Me da un poco de vergüenza admitir que terminé las dos temporadas de Solo Leveling en una semana. En mi defensa, tengo que decir que esta serie es muy adictiva.
This post will be a direct continuation of the one I did a few days ago. Where I will give my final conclusions about everything I saw so far.
Este post será una continuación directa al que hice unos días atrás. Donde voy a dar mis conclusiones finales sobre todo lo que vi hasta ahora.
In short, I really enjoyed watching this series and find it to be very entertaining. Now I can understand why there are so many people who like Solo Leveling. Although I also have to say that it is no masterpiece and for me, it has some serious flaws.
Resumidamente, disfruté mucho al ver esta serie y considero que es muy entretenida. Ahora puedo entender por qué hay tanta gente que le gusta Solo Leveling. Aunque también tengo que decir que no es ninguna obra maestra y para mí, tiene algunos errores graves.
What disappointed me a lot was what they did with Sung Jinwoo. From the first episode, I loved him as the main character and he managed to move me. What I didn't like is that he had such an abrupt and sudden change from one chapter to another.
Lo que me decepcionó mucho fue lo que hicieron con Sung Jinwoo. Desde el primer capítulo, me encantó como protagonista y logró conmoverme. Lo que no me gustó es que haya tenido un cambio tan brusco y repentino de un capítulo a otro.
Literally, from one moment to the next he becomes tall, muscular, serious, mysterious and no longer afraid. It was so sudden that it seems like there was a change of protagonist. Because they didn't even make an effort to build him up or develop him, they just took him where they wanted him to go. Honestly, I would have liked to see a more progressive and meaningful change. Not simply replacing one body and personality with another.
Literalmente, de un momento a otro se vuelve alto, musculoso, serio, misterioso y deja de tener miedo. Fue tan repentino que llega a parecer que directamente hubo un cambio de protagonista. Porque ni se esforzaron en hacer una construcción o un desarrollo, simplemente lo llevaron a donde quisieron. Honestamente, me hubiera gustado ver un cambio más progresivo y con algo de sentido. No simplemente, remplazar un cuerpo y una personalidad por otra.
One thing I feared was that Sung Jinwoo's unique ability to improve without limits would make him stupidly strong at one point. That happened and much sooner than I expected. By the end of the second season he's so powerful that he makes S class look like E. In this sense I also figured it was going to be something more progressive. For example, that in the first season he goes from E class to C class and in the second season he goes from C class to A class.
Algo que me temía es que la habilidad única de Sung Jinwoo de mejorar sin límites hiciera que en un punto esté estúpidamente fuerte. Eso ocurrió y mucho antes de lo que esperaba. Al final de la segunda temporada es tan poderoso que hace ver a los clase S como si fueran E. En este sentido también me imagine que iba a ser algo más progresivo. Por ejemplo, que en la primera temporada pase de la clase E a C y que en la segunda pase de la clase C a A.
This is a problem because it renders all the other characters useless and useless. In the end it feels like Sung Jinwoo can handle it all by himself. Which reminds me of Saitama from One Punch Man. A hero who is far above the others in his story and can defeat everyone with relative ease.
Esto es un problema porque deja a todos los demás personajes inútiles e inservibles. A lo último se siente que Sung Jinwoo puede con todo él solo. Lo que me hace acordar a Saitama de One Punch Man. Un héroe que está muy por encima de los demás en su historia y que puede derrotar a todos con relativa facilidad.
I have no idea what's going to happen in the following seasons and I don't want to find out through manhwa, but I have a bad feeling. I suspect that from now on, there will be a lot of repetition of the same formula. A situation that appeared to be totally overpowered, ends up getting out of control by some overly powerful being and Sung Jinwoo shows up to save the day. I hope I'm wrong because this will make the series monotonous and a bit tedious to watch.
No tengo la más remota idea de lo que va a pasar en las siguientes temporadas y no quiero averiguarlo a través del manhwa, pero tengo un mal presentimiento. Sospecho que de ahora en más, se repetirá mucho la misma fórmula. Una situación que aparentaba estar totalmente dominada, se termina descontrolando por algún ser demasiado poderoso y aparece Sung Jinwoo para salvar el día. Espero equivocarme porque esto volverá a la serie monótona y un poco tediosa de ver.
Leaving aside the negative, its strongest point, by far, is its audiovisual aspect. Its animation and soundtrack are excellent. The fights are so well constructed and animated that they give you an erection. I could even say that they are the best I saw in anime. For this reason I think Solo Leveling becomes so addictive.
Dejando de lado lo negativo, su punto más fuerte, por amplia diferencia, es lo audiovisual. Su animación y su banda sonora son excelentes. Destacando las peleas, que están tan bien construidas y animas que te provoca una erección. Hasta podría decir que son las mejores que vi en el anime. Por esta razón creo que Solo Leveling llega a ser tan adictivo.
In addition to the magnificent design of monsters and demons. Some of them left me with my mouth open because of how impressive they were. Highlighting Baran, the demon king. Who was on the 100th floor of the demon castle. That so far is my favorite.
Sumado al magnífico diseño de monstruos y demonios. Que algunos me dejaban con la boca abierta de lo impresionante. Destacando a Baran, el rey demonio. Que se encontraba en el piso 100 del castillo de los demonios. Que hasta ahora es mi favorito.
In conclusion, I liked Solo Leveling and I will be watching for the next seasons. On the other hand, I feel it was overrated. Yes it's good, but I don't know if it's good enough to win the best anime of the year award. Now I understand all the controversy around it.
En conclusión, me gustó Solo Leveling y voy a estar pendiente a las próximas temporadas. Por otra parte, siento que se sobrevaloró. Si está buena, pero no sé si al punto de ganar el premio al mejor anime del año. Ahora comprendo toda la polémica que se armó al rededor de esto.
In closing, I give Solo Leveling a rating of 7.5/10. Score based on Solo in what came out so far. With future seasons this could go up or down.
Para terminar, a Solo Leveling le doy una calificación de 7,5/10. Resultado basado en Solo en lo que salió hasta ahora. Con las futuras temporadas esto podría subir o bajar.
Thank you very much for reading my review. It is a pleasure to share with you. I look forward to posting in this community in the future. I send you all a big hug and hope you are having a good day.🎞️🎬
Muchas gracias por leer mi reseña. Es un placer compartir con ustedes. Espero poder publicar en esta comunidad en un futuro. Les mando un fuerte abrazo a todos y espero que estén teniendo un buen día. 🎞️🎬

›Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadow | Nattosheru Review [ENG/SPA]@nattosenpai401d
Hello, anime fans. This time I will tell you about the most popular anime up to the moment this post was published. An anime series of a work that no one expected to "break the internet", as many have come to claim. Even winning an award as the "Best Anime of the Year" recently, this work of Korean origin became one of the most entertaining action and fantasy anime I have seen so far. It's not the first time I've talked about this anime, but the second season aired earlier this year was so great that I couldn't pass it up just yet. Based on the web novel of the same name written by Chugong, Solo Leveling is an anime adaptation produced by the famous studio A-1 Pictures (same studio that animated other popular series like Sword Art Online, Nier: Automata Ver. 1.1a and MASHLE). You've probably already done it, but I invite you to get to know one of the best produced anime currently available.
SPANISH VERSION
Hola, fanáticos del anime. En esta ocasión les hablaré del anime más popular hasta el momento de publicado este post. Una serie animada de una obra que nadie esperaba que “rompería el internet”, como muchos han llegado a afirmar. Ganándose incluso un premio como el “Mejor Anime del Año” recientemente, esta obra de origen coreano llegó a ser de los animes de acción y fantasía más entretenidos que he visto hasta ahora. No es la primera vez que hablo de este anime, pero la segunda temporada emitida a principios de este año estuvo tan genial que no podía dejarlo pasar por alto nomás. Basada en la novela web homónima escrita por Chugong, Solo Leveling es una adaptación animada producida por el famoso estudio A-1 Pictures (mismo estudio que animó otras series populares como Sword Art Online, Nier: Automata Ver. 1.1a y MASHLE). Seguramente lo has hecho ya, pero te invito a conocer uno de los animes mejores producidos que existen actualmente.
This second season begins following the end of the first season, with our protagonist Sung Jinwoo as the "Monarch of the Shadow". He gets this new title after gaining the power to resurrect the monsters he defeats and make them part of his army in the form of shadows. With so much power, he is now unrecognizable compared to how he started out, so much so that even his own younger sister Jin-ah can't even recognize him. Jinwoo accompanies her to school as her representative for a meeting. There he meets a classmate of his sister's who wants to be a hunter and her teachers try to convince her not to pursue this dangerous job. Sung agrees to talk to her to convince her, but instead he invites her to accompany him to a C-ranked dungeon with a team of hunters led by an A-ranked hunter. However, what many thought would be an ordinary and quick dungeon to conquer suddenly becomes a challenge even for the team leader himself. Of course, this for Jinwoo is just a warm-up.
SPANISH VERSION
Trama
Esta segunda temporada empieza seguido del final de la primera temporada, con nuestro protagonista Sung Jinwoo como el “Monarca de las Sombras”. Este nuevo título lo obtiene después de conseguir el poder de hacer resurgir a los monstruos que derrota y volverlos parte de su ejército con forma de sombras. Con tanto poder, ahora es irreconocible a comparación con cómo empezó, tanto así que hasta su propia hermana menor Jin-ah siquiera lo llega a reconocer. Jinwoo la acompaña a la escuela como su representante para una reunión. Ahí conoce a una compañera de su hermana que desea ser cazadora y sus profesores la intentan convencer de que no siga con ese peligroso trabajo. Sung accede en hablar con ella para convencerla, pero en cambio lo que hace es invitarla a que lo acompañe a una mazmorra de rango C con un equipo de cazadores liderado por uno de rango A. Sin embargo, lo que muchos pensaban que sería una mazmorra común y rápida de conquistar, de repente se convierte en un desafío incluso para el mismo líder del equipo. Claro, esto para Jinwoo es solo puro calentamiento.
Trailer & Review
Next, I will leave you the trailer of the second season:
I think I speak for everyone when I say that starting 2025 with this new season of Solo Leveling was one of the best things you can experience in this huge industry. And there is nothing better than watching a very well produced anime with an animation that literally leaves you with your mouth open. A complete audiovisual spectacle full of perfectly animated choreographies, excellent visual effects, impressive explosions, demonstrations of totally absurd powers and battles that leave you literally breathless. All this and more is what this series has to give. However, as it usually happens with most anime that become so popular overnight, Solo Leveling is one of those works that lacks a lot of depth in terms of its characters and originality in terms of its story. This, clearly, has caused it to receive negative reviews from its audience.
To get right into this, I think it's superfluous to go back to what many know what this anime is about. It's practically the typical protagonist who starts out as a weakling, the weakest of them all, but is suddenly given a certain power that helps him become stronger and stronger until he becomes practically invincible. That, in a nutshell, is the exact description of what Sung Jinwoo is. As for the story, it's practically "the hero's way", facing various strong enemies, defeating them after a great battle and then gaining more power as he levels up (being the only one who can do it, that's why it's called "Solo Leveling" then). Beyond this there is not much to talk about, the truth, since its story is so superficial and simple to know that all our attention is taken by the audiovisual spectacle that shows us from beginning to end. That is why what we will see most in this new season are battles and non-stop action, as well as an incalculable demonstration of power by the protagonist, of course.
SPANISH VERSION
Creo que hablo por todos cuando digo que empezar el 2025 con esta nueva temporada de Solo Leveling fue de lo mejor que se puede experimentar dentro de esta enorme industria. Y es que no hay nada mejor que ver un anime muy bien producido y con una animación que te deja literalmente con la boca abierta. Un completo espectáculo audiovisual repleto de coreografías perfectamente animadas, excelentes efectos visuales, explosiones impresionantes, demostraciones de poderes totalmente absurdos y batallas que te dejan literalmente sin aliento. Todo esto y más es lo que tiene esta serie para dar. Sin embargo, como sucede normalmente con la mayoría de animes que se vuelven tan populares de un día para el otro, Solo Leveling es de esas obras que carecen mucho de profundidad en cuanto a sus personajes y originalidad en cuanto a su historia. Esto, claramente, ha hecho que reciba críticas negativas de su público.
Para entrar de lleno en esto, creo que está de más volver a hablar de lo que muchos saben de qué trata este anime. Prácticamente es el típico protagonista que empieza siendo un débil, el más débil de todos, pero que de repente se le otorga cierto poder que lo ayuda a ser cada vez más y más fuerte hasta que se vuelve prácticamente invencible. Eso, en resumidas cuentas, es la descripción exacta de lo que es Sung Jinwoo. En cuanto a la historia es prácticamente “el camino del héroe”, enfrentándose a diversos enemigos fuertes, venciéndolos luego de una gran batalla para luego obtener más poder a su vez que sube de nivel (siendo él el único que puede hacerlo, por eso se llama “Solo Leveling” pues). Más allá de esto no hay mucho de qué hablar, la verdad, ya que su historia es tan superficial y sencilla de conocer que toda nuestra atención se la lleva el espectáculo audiovisual que nos muestra de principio a fin. Es por eso que lo que más veremos en esta nueva temporada son batallas y acción sin parar, además de una demostración incalculable de poder por parte del protagonista, por supuesto.
And it's not that I'm complaining about this, because when it comes to entertainment you can't always go for something well-crafted and at the same time original and thought-provoking. Most people prefer to look for something that is entertaining more than anything else. That's why many popular anime lack protagonists with deep character developments or stories that leave you with your heart in your hand. It's a surprise to come across this within the action or fantasy genre these days (as is the case with My Hero Academia which delivers on giving very good characters and a story that grabs you because of how authentic it is, but I'm talking about a work from almost a decade ago). The common thing is to get the typical work that replicates "The hero's way", only with another name and a different vision, plus one or another detail without more. Sometimes it seems that they don't even try to do something original on their own and just try to satisfy the audience by giving them what they want: action, strong characters, incredible battles and fanservice, even.
That's why it doesn't surprise me to see Solo Leveling win an award as "Best Anime of the Year" recently with works like Frieren, Dungeon Meshi or Chi. But in an industry where numbers make the difference, you can't expect original and worthwhile works to make it with so much hype and demand for generic and quickly consumable content. It's a low blow, myself included, as I was also one of those who at first preferred to watch something shorter, quicker and easier to understand and entertain me. Now, with an unstoppable amount of new products, new works and new series constantly being produced and broadcasted, it is normal that quality is increasingly overshadowed by quantity. On the other hand, I also consider the fact that no matter how inauthentic and complex it may be, a work should not be considered bad either. Sometimes you just want to tell a story that is entertaining and that fulfills everything you are looking for in a certain area. Like a romantic comedy or a fantasy story, they always manage to cover the superficial and thus succeed and that's it.
SPANISH VERSION
Y no es que me queje de esto, ya que en cuanto a entretenimiento no siempre se puede optar por algo bien elaborado y a la vez original y que te deje reflexionando. La mayoría de la gente prefiere buscar algo que sea entretenido, más que nada. Es por eso que muchos animes populares carecen de protagonistas con desarrollos de personajes profundos o historias que te dejen con el corazón en la mano. Es una sorpresa encontrarse con esto dentro del género de acción o de fantasía actualmente (como es el caso de My Hero Academia que cumple con dar muy buenos personajes y una historia que te atrapa por lo auténtica que es, pero estoy hablando de una obra de hace casi una década atrás). Lo común es conseguir la típica obra que replica “el camino del héroe”, sólo que con otro nombre y con una visión diferente, además de uno que otro detalle sin más. A veces parece que ni siquiera se esmeran en hacer algo original por su propia cuenta y solo buscan satisfacer al público dándoles lo que quieren: acción, personajes fuertes, batallas increíbles y fanservice, inclusive.
Es por esto que no me sorprende ver que Solo Leveling se haya llevado un premio como “El Mejor Anime del Año” recientemente teniendo obras como Frieren, Dungeon Meshi o Chi inclusive. Pero en una industria en la que los números marcan la diferencia no se puede esperar que obras originales y que valen la pena ser reconocidas lo logren con tanta farándula y demanda de contenido genérico y rápidamente consumible. Es un golpe bajo, incluyéndome ya que yo al principio era también de los que prefería ver algo más corto, más rápido y más fácil de entender y entretenerme. Ahora, con una cantidad incontenible de nuevos productos, nuevas obras y nuevas series produciéndose y emitiéndose constantemente es normal que la calidad cada vez se vea más opacada por la cantidad. Por otro lado, considero también el hecho de que por muy poco auténtico y complejo que sea, tampoco hay que considerar una obra como mala. A veces solo se busca contar una historia que sea entretenida y que cumpla con todo lo que se busca en cierto área nomás. Como una comedia romántica o una historia de fantasía siempre consiguen cubrir lo superficial y así tener éxito y ya.
In this case, Solo Leveling delivers by giving us a story in which the typical fantasy of hunters and dungeons with monsters are mixed together, with an unprecedented level of action. The way this modern world works and how they try to protect themselves from a threat that is expected to loom manages to grab us a bit. But what ends up making us stay watching it until the end are the different adventures Sung Jinwoo has in every dungeon he enters or mission he takes. This season, more so than the last, delivers on giving us a spectacle of unparalleled action and battles, one after another, after another. With very few plot twists, but many incredible moments, powerful enemies and moments that make you fill with emotion until the end. What we get to see in these 13 season episodes is undoubtedly an epic sequence that is far above what any other action anime can offer nowadays.
But beyond this don't expect anything, as I already mentioned. It has no comedy, no drama, or any other additive to better condense the pure and hard action that this anime has. While other series like Sakamoto Days comply with being both entertaining and funny, with characters you can easily empathize with; Solo Leveling complies with just giving us a protagonist that gets stronger and stronger in each chapter. The same happens with the enemies we see in this new season, which only manage to grab our attention in just one or two chapters until they are defeated by Jinwoo, who after each battle becomes more and more invincible. Yes, it's like a copy of One Punch Man, although Saitama has better developed enemies than this South Korean copy, truth be told. And I repeat, I don't say all this to qualify this work as bad or uninteresting, I just make clear my opinion as someone who has already seen many "Shōnen" and action anime since I was little, practically.
SPANISH VERSION
En este caso, Solo Leveling cumple con darnos una historia en la que la fantasía típica de cazadores y mazmorras con monstruos se mezclan entre sí, con un nivel de acción sin precedentes. La manera en la que este mundo moderno funciona y cómo intentan protegerse de una amenaza que es de esperarse que se avecine consigue atraparnos un poco. Pero lo que termina haciendo que nos quedemos viéndolo hasta el final son las diferentes aventuras que tiene Sung Jinwoo en cada mazmorra que entra o en cada misión que toma. Esta temporada, más que en la anterior, cumple con darnos un espectáculo de acción y batallas sin par, una tras otra, tras otra. Con muy pocos giros de guión, pero muchos momentos increíbles, enemigos poderosos y momentos que te hacen llenar de emoción hasta el final. Lo que llegamos a ver en estos 13 episodios de temporada es sin duda una secuencia de epicidad que está muy por encima de lo que puede ofrecer cualquier otro anime de acción actualmente.
Pero más allá de esto no esperen nada, como ya les mencioné. No tiene comedia, ni drama, ni ningún otro aditivo para condensar mejor la acción pura y dura que tiene este anime. Mientras otras series como Sakamoto Days cumplen con ser tanto entretenidos como a la vez divertidos, con personajes con los que puedes empatizar fácilmente; Solo Leveling cumple nomás con darnos a un protagonista que se vuelve cada vez más y más fuerte en cada capítulo. Lo mismo sucede con los enemigos que vemos en esta nueva temporada, los cuales solo consiguen acaparar la atención nomás en uno o dos capítulos hasta que son derrotados por Jinwoo, quien luego de cada batalla se vuelve más y más invencible. Si, es como una copia de One Punch Man, aunque Saitama tiene enemigos mejores desarrollados que esta copia surcoreana, la vedad. Y repito, no digo todo esto para calificar esta obra como mala o poco interesante, solo dejo claro mi opinión como alguien que ya ha visto muchos animes “Shōnen” y de acción desde que era pequeño, prácticamente.
Last but not least, let's talk about the audiovisual and technical aspects of Solo Leveling. In this I can only give my best impressions thanks to the excellent work done by A-1 Pictures, as always. The animation, the character designs, the incredible fluidity, the visual details, the drawing style, the visual effects, the movements, the choreographies and the high level battles are just some of the excellently done things we can see in this anime. I think it is no exaggeration when I say that what we will find in this season is one of the best you will be able to enjoy in terms of animation nowadays. The same goes for the sound effects and the soundtrack it has, most of all the background music in battle scenes that manage to elevate everything to the next level. And with this we must add the Opening and Ending, which manage to give us an equally fascinating show with catchy rhythms, as expected. I can say that the only good thing this anime has to offer is its audiovisual aspect. Recommended for any action fan who wants to entertain themselves and take their brains out for a while.
Personally, I give it a rating of 8.5/10 as far as the action/fantasy genre is concerned.
SPANISH VERSION
Por último, pero no menos importante, hablemos del apartado audiovisual y técnico que tiene Solo Leveling. En esto solo puedo dar mis mejores impresiones gracias al excelente trabajo que realizó A-1 Pictures, como siempre. La animación, los diseños de los personajes, la increíble fluidez, los detalles visuales, el estilo de dibujo, los efectos visuales, los movimientos, las coreografías y las batallas de alto nivel son solo algunas de las cosas excelentemente hechas que podemos ver en este anime. Creo que no es exageración cuando digo que lo que encontraremos en esta temporada es de lo mejor que podrán disfrutar en cuanto a animación se refiere actualmente. Lo mismo sucede con los efectos de sonido y la banda sonora que tiene, más que nada la musicalización de fondo en escenas de batallas que consiguen elevar todo a un siguiente nivel. Y con esto hay que agregar lo del Opening y Ending, los cuales logran darnos un espectáculo igual de fascinante con ritmos pegadizos, como era de esperarse. Puedo decir que lo único bueno que tiene para ofrecer este anime es su aspecto audiovisual nomás. Recomendada para todo fan de la acción que quiera entretenerse y descontar su cerebro por un buen rato.
Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 8.5/10 en lo que respecta al género de acción y fantasía.
Tell me, have you already seen this anime, what did you think? You can leave me your answer in the comments.
Dime, ¿ya has visto este anime? ¿Qué te ha parecido? Puedes dejarme tu respuesta en los comentarios.
Hello, everyone! I think this is my first time in this community (as far as I can remember), and I'm very excited to start creating content and reviews about one of my favorite topics: anime. Although it may not seem like it, one of the things I've always loved, as a good millennial, is watching anime. And I don't want to explain why or how I got started, because it would be a very long story. But it's worth mentioning that, like many things I had disconnected from for a while and have now brought back into my life, I also wanted this type of entertainment to be part of my life again.
Spanish
¡Hola a todos! Creo que es mi primera vez en esta comunidad (que yo recuerde) y estoy muy emocionada por empezar a hacer contenido y reviews acerca de uno de los temas que más me encanta: Anime. Aunque no lo parezca, una de las cosas que siempre me ha encantado, como buena milenial, es ver anime. Y no quisiera dar una explicación de por qué o por dónde empecé, porque sería una historia muy larga. Pero si es propicio mencionar, que como muchas cosas con las que me había desconectado un tiempo, y que han vuelto a mi vida, he querido también que vuelva a hacer parte de mi vida este tipo de entretenimiento.
The last time I watched anything was when I finished season 3 of Shingeki no Kyojin (you can start doing the math). After that, I tried to catch up on One Piece, but I didn't get past chapter 910. So, for the past couple of weeks or so, I've been diving back into this world. The first thing I did was start watching Shingeki no Kyojin again, from the first episode. And then, to continue, I started frantically searching for something new, something that didn't have so many seasons and that would keep me hooked. So I found @jauregui98, who gave me a pretty substantial list of things to watch, topped by the review I'm bringing you today: Solo Leveling. So I'll tell you how it went.
Spanish
La última vez que vi algo fue cuando finalicé la 3.ª temporada de Shingeki no Kyojin (ya empiecen a sacar cuentas), Luego de eso intenté ponerme al día con One Piece, pero no avancé nada más allá del capítulo 910. Así que desde hace un par de semanas, aproximadamente, me metí de cabeza en este mundo nuevamente. Lo primero que hice fue empezar a ver nuevamente, desde el primer capítulo, Shingeki no Kyojin. Y luego, para continuar, empecé a buscar como loca algo nuevo, que no tuviera tantas temporadas y que me dejara enganchada. Así que ubiqué a @jauregui98, quien me dio una lista bastante sustanciosa de cosas por ver, que estaba encabezada por la reseña que les traigo el día de hoy: Solo Leveling. Así que les comentaré que tal me fue.
There is a group of hunters in the world with powers that awaken at a certain point in their lives. Depending on the type of power and strength, they are categorized into ranks: S, A, B, C, D, and E. These ranks never change throughout their lives, and the higher the rank, the higher their status. These hunters are responsible for eliminating monsters that threaten to destroy the world. These monsters appear through portals that lead to dungeons. When you defeat them, you close the dungeon and can also claim materials that you can exchange or sell. Our protagonist is Sung Jinwoo, an E-rank hunter. He is so powerless that he is considered the most useless weapon. He is good for nothing but getting in the way. This changes when he enters a secondary dungeon where almost everyone dies, and he emerges not only victorious, but with a very rare upgrade: he can level up.
Solo Leveling is a South Korean Shonen adapted from a Webtoon. It has two full seasons, and they say the next one will premiere in 2027, so for now I'm staying where I am. I got so hooked on this that I watched both seasons in just three days. I needed this injection of animation and different entertainment to open my mind a little more and grow my creativity. I know there are mixed opinions about this anime, especially since it just won Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Awards. I haven't seen all the nominees yet, but I do have a few things to say about this one.
Spanish
En el mundo existen un grupo de cazadores con poderes que despiertan en un determinado momento de su vida. Dependiendo del tipo de poder y de fuerza, son categorizados con un rango; S, A, B, C, D y E, estos rangos ni cambian nunca en su vida, y mientras más alto sea el rango, mayor estatus tendrán. Estos cazadores tienen la responsabilidad de eliminar unos monstruos que amenazan con acabar el mundo, aparecen mediante unos portales que dan ingreso a unas mazmorras. Al derrotarlos, cierras la mazmorra y además, puedes reclamar materiales que puedes intercambiar o vender. Nuestro protagonista es Sung Jinwoo es un cazador rango E, es tan poco poderoso que incluso lo consideran el arma más inútil. No sirve para nada más que para estorbar. Esto cambia cuando ingresa a una mazmorra secundaria en el que mueren casi todos y él sale no solo victorioso, sino con una actualización muy rara: puede subir de nivel.
Solo Leveling es un Shonen surcoreano adaptado de un Webtoon. Tiene dos temporadas completas, y dicen que la próxima se estrena en 2027, así que por ahora me quedo donde estoy. Me enganché tan fuerte con esto que me vi las 2 temporadas en solo 3 días. Necesitaba esta inyección de animación y entretenimiento diferente para abrir un poco más mi mente y hacer crecer la creatividad. Sé que hay opiniones encontradas con respecto a este anime, sobre todo porque acaba de ganar a Anime del Año en los Crunchyroll Awards. Aún no he visto todas las nominadas, pero de esta sí tengo algunas cosas para decir.
I really liked it because if we understand the plot, it's like we're playing an RPG. The whole idea of organizing a group to go to a dungeon to fight monsters and win rewards isn't very innovative. But at this point in the series, it's just two different game modes in a single story. The S to E tiers and the leveling up.
However, if there's one thing I didn't like, or that shocked me a little, it was that Jinwoo leveled up very quickly, making him basically unbeatable, which bothered me a little. Because we must be clear that although we like to see the characters evolve, we also like to see how hard this evolution is for them. How they work, suffer, and at some point even think that they are going to be destroyed. A What's impressive here is that the level of animation and the pace of the series is so incredible that you don't give any of this much thought until the season ends.
Spanish
Me gustó muchísimo, porque si entendemos la trama es como si estuviéramos jugando un RPG. Todo el tema de organizar un grupo para ir a una mazmorra a combatir unos monstruos y ganar recompensas no es algo muy innovador. Pero hasta este punto en el que quedo la serie, solo se trata de dos modalidades diferentes de juego en una sola historia. La de los tiers de S a E, y los de subir de nivel.
Sin embargo, si hay algo que no me gustó, o que me causó como un poco de choque y fue que Jinwoo subía muy rápido de nivel, haciéndolo básicamente insuperable, lo que me hizo un poco de ruido, porque debemos estar claros que aunque nos gusta que los personajes evolucionen, también nos gusta ver como les cuesta esta evolución, que trabajen, que la sufran y que en algún momento hasta pensemos que lo van a destruir. Lo impresionante acá es que el nivel de animación y el ritmo de la serie es tan bestial, que no le das importancia a nada de esto hasta que termine la temporada.
From my point of view, I think it was a good decision to start with Solo Leveling. In fact, at one point I was very concerned that I had started with something excellent and that I wouldn't like anything else as much. Fortunately, I can say that this is not the case, as I am already watching other anime that I am loving.
For now, since there's still a long way to go before the third season, I can continue watching a good deal of other anime from the last four years that I haven't seen much of. I would love it if you could leave me recommendations in the comments. Right now, I'm watching “The Apothecary's Diaries” and “Frieren.” The first one is currently airing, and I'm halfway through Frieren. Thank you all for reading, and I'll continue to share more discoveries with you.
Spanish
Desde mi punto de vista, creo que fue un acierto empezar con Solo Leveling. De hecho, en un momento estaba muy preocupada de que haya empezado por algo excelente y que ninguna otra me guste tanto. Por fortuna, puedo decir que jo está pasando, que ya estoy viendo otros animes que me tienen encantada.
Por ahora, como aún falta mucho para la tercera temporada, puedo seguir viendo muchos otros animes de estos últimos cuatro años que estuve sin ver casi nada. Me encantaría si pudieran dejarme recomendaciones en los comentarios, en estos momentos estoy viendo “Los diarios de la boticaria” y “Frieren”. La primera está en emisión, y voy por la mitad de Frieren. Gracias a todos por leerme y seguiré compartiendo más descubrimientos con ustedes.
I've been hearing a lot about this series for several months now. From praise, positive reviews and good words. It was even mentioned and recommended to me by a colleague at the gym.
Hace varios meses que vengo escuchando bastante sobre esta serie. Desde elogios, críticas positivas y buenas palabras. Hasta me la llegó a mencionar y recomendar un compañero del gimnasio.
For a while I had it on my to-watch list. Until I decided to give it a chance when I found out that Crunchyroll gave it the title of best anime of 2025.
Por un tiempo la tuve en mi lista de pendientes. Hasta que decidí darle una oportunidad cuando me enteré de que Crunchyroll le dio el título de mejor anime del 2025.
Before giving my opinions and impressions, I will make a brief introduction. Solo Leveling takes us to a world where a couple of decades ago, portals appear that lead to dungeons full of monsters.
Antes de dar mis opiniones e impresiones, voy a hacer una breve introducción. Solo Leveling nos trasporta a un mundo donde desde hace un par de décadas, aparecen unos portales que conducen a mazmorras llenas de monstruos.
At the same time, with the appearance of these portals, some people awakened certain magical abilities to fight against this evil and defend the human race. Depending on the power, they are classified in the rank S, A, B, C, D or E. Being the S where the strongest go and the E where the weakest go.
Paralelamente, con la aparición de estos portales, algunas personas despertaron ciertas habilidades mágicas para luchar contra este mal y defender la raza humana. Dependiendo el poder, son catalogados en el rango S, A, B, C, D o E. Siendo el S donde van los más fuertes y el E donde van los más débiles.
In this story we star as Sung Jinwoo, an extremely weak hunter of rank E. So fragile is he that he was even referred to as “the weakest weapon”.
En esta historia protagonizamos a Sung Jinwoo, un cazador extremadamente débil de rango E. Tan frágil es que lo llegaron a denominar como “el arma más débil”.
Based on what I saw so far, what I liked the most was the main character. I feel it was very well written and designed to make it easy for us to empathize with him. It hadn't even been 10 minutes and I was already attached. I wanted him to succeed in everything.
Basándome en lo que vi hasta ahora, lo que más me gustó fue el protagonista. Siento que fue muy bien escrito y diseñado para que se nos haga fácil empatizar con él. No habían pasado ni 10 minutos y yo ya me había encariñado. Quería que tuviera éxito en todo.
His kind, calm, brave and cunning personality captivated me. In addition, I found it very noble that he will fight alone to be able to pay for his mother's medical treatment and his sister's studies. This has much more merit being an extremely weak hunter who is constantly in danger of death. I hope this character earns the sky as the chapters go by.
Su personalidad amable, tranquila, valiente y astuta, me cautivo. Sumado a que me pareció muy noble el hecho de que luchará solo para poder pagar el tratamiento médico de la madre y los estudios de la hermana. Esto tiene mucho más mérito al ser un cazador extremadamente débil que está constantemente en peligro de muerte. Espero que este personaje se gane el cielo con el pasar de los capítulos.
What surprised me was that it was so bloody, raw and violent. I wasn't expecting it to be like Dragon Ball Super, but not this gory either. 😅 In the 3 chapters I watched, several limbs were lost, one ended up broken in half and the main character was tortured. I clarify that I'm not complaining about this, I'm not someone sensitive. I prefer it a thousand times than the cardboard violence of the last Dragon Ball. I only highlight it because it caught my attention.
Lo que me sorprendió es que fuera tan sangriento, crudo y violento. No esperaba que fuera como Dragón Ball Súper, pero tampoco así de sangriento. 😅 En los 3 capítulos que vi, se perdieron varias extremidades, uno terminó partido por la mitad y el protagonista fue torturado. Aclaro que no me quejo de esto, no soy alguien sensible. Prefiero mil veces que sea así a la violencia de cartón de lo último de Dragón Ball. Solo lo resalto porque me llamó la atención.
The plot is extremely interesting. Not only because of the mysteries that revolve around these portals and dungeons. Also because of the need to find out how the protagonist has his character development and how it will strengthen over the course of the series.
La trama es sumamente interesante. No solo por los misterios que giran al rededor de estos portales y mazmorras. También por la necesidad de averiguar como el protagonista tiene su desarrollo de personaje y como se fortalecerá con el trascurso de la serie.
At this point, I can understand why so many people like Solo Leveling. It's a series that grabs you instantly because of its quality and characters. I don't know if it's good enough to have been awarded the title of best anime of the year, but without a doubt, it's very good.
A esta altura, puedo entender por qué a tanta gente le gusta Solo Leveling. Es una serie que te atrapa al instante por su calidad y personajes. No sé si es tan buena como para haber sido premiada con el título del mejor anime del año, pero sin dudas, es muy buena.
Personally, I recommend it. It is totally worth it. And for my part, I'm going to keep watching it and enjoying it. I'm going to take advantage of this freezing weather in my country to make myself a hot infusion and continue with Solo Leveling 😁.
En lo personal, la recomiendo. Vale totalmente la pena. Y por mi parte, voy a seguir viéndola y disfrutándola. Voy a aprovechar este clima helado en mi país para hacerme una infusión caliente y seguir con Solo Leveling 😁
Thank you very much for reading my review. It is a pleasure to share with you. I look forward to posting in this community in the future. I send you all a big hug and hope you are having a good day.🎞️🎬
Muchas gracias por leer mi reseña. Es un placer compartir con ustedes. Espero poder publicar en esta comunidad en un futuro. Les mando un fuerte abrazo a todos y espero que estén teniendo un buen día. 🎞️🎬

›Sakamoto Days Review: Better Than Solo Leveling?@papamogambo431d
Hello everyone, I am Joy. Today I saw a new anime called Sakamoto Days. This anime is better than Solo Leveling and I am not saying this in joking. I will talk about this anime completely, so let’s start our today’s anime review.
Story Overview
Talking about the basic plot of this anime, the name of our main character in it is Sakamoto. He is the world’s biggest hitman. The whole world is afraid of him and one day he gets married, has children and gets out of the underworld world.
They say that the world of the underworld does not let a man go. People from the underworld come to defeat Sakamoto, but Sakamoto can neither kill them nor beat them because if he does so, his wife will divorce him.
And let me tell you, Sakamoto loves his wife very much. Asss Sakamoto brother, asss I also love your wife (just joking).
Now Sakamoto has to protect his family and also stay away from those people. How he does all this, you guys will have to see it in the anime.
There are a total of five episodes of this anime so far, in which we were told about the basic story in episode one.
Here, at the end of episode number one, there is a scene where Sakamoto shows his gun collection. That scene is very cute. If that scene does not give you goosebumps, then my name is not Mythical.
Nothing much happened in episode number two and three. You may find them a bit boring. But episode number four and five were very cute. Their comedy is delivered very well.
And the way there is a mixture of action in this anime, it is very cute.
If I talking about the action of this anime, which is very awesome. Seriously, very cute. Where I wanted to say that Sakamoto's action lines up very well with its comedy. And nowhere does it seem that this anime is going more towards action or more towards comedy.
The mixture going on between these two is very cute and you will also enjoy watching it a lot.
The best part of it is—action scenes, where our Sakamoto transforms from a fat-ass guy to a badass guy. And that thing is, you guys are going to like it very much and you may find it very cool.
Personally, I liked that thing very much. Personally, I liked Sakamoto Days very much and I would put it slightly above Solo Leveling.
Because I enjoyed watching it more as compared to Solo Leveling. I am not saying that its animation is better than Solo Leveling. In any case, it will be behind Solo Leveling, but I personally enjoyed watching Sakamoto Days as compared to Solo Leveling.
Well, this was my opinion. And when I went to Twitter to know people's opinion, I saw - its animation is fine. Brother, comedy anime have this type of animation and these people have delivered quite well in that too.
Its animation is much better. Many people who have only seen Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, want every anime to have the same animation quality.
That's why I think the hits that Sakamoto Days is getting because of the animation are very bad.
The one of the best things I found in Sakamoto Days is its direction. Its direction.
But still I will make this point – here Nakamoto stopped the bullet with the help of a chewing gum. And when the audience saw this, the audience got hyped up – "What a thing he did!"
And if the same thing had happened in a movie, there would have been an uproar by now that how did this happen? How can they even do this?
But now, you cannot criticize this same on this basis.
But I wanted to show you guys how hypocrite the audience is.
This was my quick review of Sakamoto Days. If you like these review, please let me know in the comments. And if you've already seen it, let me know.

›Zero to Hero: The Rise of Sung Jin-Woo@papamogambo434d
Solo Leveling fans, get ready, Character is going to be seen, after just one word uttered from whose mouth even the dead wake up.
Yes, I’m talking about Sung Jin-Woo. This is the character who gave a different level of recognition to Korean Manga.
Today, we will talk about the character of Sung Jin-Woo. The way author Chugong has written the character of Sung Jin-Woo—not like Japanese manga, in which there are some philosophical lines, which the reader has to use his brain a bit to understand—but in the case of Solo Leveling, it is not needed at all.
This is the writing style, or should I say, the beauty of author Chugong’s writing that everyone can feel the character of Sung Jin-Woo.
This is the story of a character when there was a time when no one had any expectations from him. He was a burden. And this journey starts from there and reaches the level when this character becomes everyone's expectations.
The situation in which Sung Jin-Woo's character was - earlier he was the weakest hunter in the world. No one knows about his father, his mother is ill, admitted in the hospital, his sister is very young.
I know, you can tell by looking at this that she is not very young, but if you look at the responsibilities of the house, she is very young in that situation. And who was handling all this in this situation? Sung Jin-Woo.
If we look at the beginning episodes, you will notice that he was trying to handle all these things - and that too when he is the weakest hunter in this world.
For him, even killing a goblin was a big thing. He could kill it with great difficulty. In this situation, 99% people used to ignore him. On the other hand, the 1% people—or say 0.01%—took pity on him and cared for him a little.
However, I like this girl a lot, the way Sung Jin-Woo's character was at that time—the world's weakest hunter—she liked him in that condition itself. She used to heal him etc.
But then, when he comes back to life after death, he gets the system. The guy was at zero level. But then he progresses by working hard, gradually levels up.
Actually this system wanted him to become strong. And Sung Jin-Woo gradually becomes strong.
These lines of Sung in season one:"I'll fill this world with fear. If you weren't expecting me to murder my enemy..."
It is a very impactful line, which is applicable in that world as well as our world.
Sung Jin-Woo's growth from zero to a high level, where he becomes an overpowered character, represents the fact that when you or I work hard to achieve something, to achieve our goal, and put in our all, then gradually the skills that develop within us related to the thing for which we are working so hard – this represents that thing.
And, we get that result too.
There are many people who don't watch Solo Leveling, or don't watch it seriously, and they really think that Sung Jin-Woo is an overpowered character, who became very overpowered after getting the system.
While this scene is not like that at all.
This guy keeps progressing by working hard from level zero. And after working very hard, he became so powerful.
Many strong opponents come in front of him. And there are also opponents who were much more powerful than him at that time.
When this guy realizes that this person in front of him is much more powerful than me, he runs away from there.
Because he has understood that if I go into this situation, I will die again. And he doesn't have to die again.
The guy comes back and works hard again, levels up, and then goes and clears the stage.
This shows that Sung Jin-Woo's character is not a stupid character. He knows how to make his decisions after thinking carefully.
To be honest, most of the time, his opponent is much more powerful than him in that situation.
Remember the snake opponent in season one? He was more powerful than Sung Jin-Woo in that situation.
But Sung Jin-Woo fights and wins against him, which shows us that this character is not a weak-minded character.
He is a strong-minded character.
The reason why Sung Jin-Woo is the main character of this series is that he was born with a strong mindset. Even though he was the weakest hunter, he still carries the burden of so many responsibilities.
I remember when I was reading his manga, in that situation, when he gradually levels up and becomes very powerful.
And he beats up such hunters who were living for their own benefit, according to their own wishes. They had the power to destroy some countries, and they were running everything according to their will.
And, despite being so powerful, Sung Jin-Woo does not do that.
This guy chooses to protect others because he knows what it means to be weak. Being the weakest hunter taught him that when a person is weak, no one expects anything from him.
People's mindset is such that the weakest, helpless, poor character does not have the right to live.
But 99% of the characters in that world are living for their own benefit. All this does not matter to them.
What matters to them is how they can live their life, how they can have fun.
And if you are one of the most powerful, then everything you say will be accepted.
Sung Jin-Woo's character also defines this thing: nobody cares how hard you have worked, how much effort you have put in to reach that position.
When you are a powerful person, everyone will have expectations from you.

I knew this season was going to be good, ever since I read the manhwa everything goes from good to better and I was absolutely hooked to Jin-woo's story, but was it that good? More than that, it was amazing✨ When they announced the second season of the anime, my excitement knew no bounds, and with justified reasons.
Mind you, I'm team marathon. I'm not one to wait every week with anxiety and longing. I let the episodes pile up and then I dive headlong into the feast, being extremely cautious of possible spoilers. So that's what I did: I waited with “patience”... and it was worth every second. If the first season took my breath away, this second one outdid itself on every level. It is visually stunning, emotionally powerful and narratively addictive.
I already reviewed the first season, so I couldn't wait any longer to share one crazed fan's absolute excitement about this sequel. Small spoiler: it was simply epic💖
Sabía que esta temporada iba a ser buena, desde que leí el manhwa todo va de bien a mejor y quedé absolutamente enganchada a la historia de Jin-woo, pero ¿fue tan buena? Más que eso, fue increíble✨ Cuando anunciaron la segunda temporada del anime, mi emoción no conocía límites, y con justificadas razones.
Eso sí, soy team maratón. Conmigo no va lo de esperar cada semana con ansiedad y anhelo. Yo dejo que los episodios se me acumulen y luego me lanzo de cabeza al festín, siendo extremadamente precavida por los posibles spoilers. Así que eso hice: esperé con “paciencia”… y valió cada segundo. Si la primera temporada me dejó sin aliento, esta segunda se superó a sí misma en todos los niveles. Es visualmente impactante, emocionalmente poderosa y narrativamente adictiva.
Ya reseñé la primera temporada, así que no podía esperar más para compartir la emoción absoluta de una fan enloquecida acerca de esta segunda parte. Pequeño spoiler: fue simplemente épica💖
If you haven't seen Solo Leveling yet, what are you waiting for?
Imagine that our world is being threatened by monsters from other dimensions, and humans are having a magic awakening to hunt down said monsters. Then the one known as the “weakest hunter of all”—yes, the one no one looked twice at—suddenly becomes the most powerful player on the board. Thus began the story of Jin-woo, a protagonist who went from zero to legend, and who, as the name says, never stops leveling up, never stops evolving.
There is not only action here (which yes, there is plenty of it), there is also strategy, emotion and a brutal exploration of what it means to have power. Jin-woo is no longer trying to survive, he is now making a difference among the hunters. You can tell there's a gap between him and the others, but you can also see the heart he puts into every decision: for his family, his teammates, his past... it's there, beating strong behind every epic battle.
If you haven't started the series, do yourself a favor and start. Solo Leveling isn't just cool fights and giant monsters (although all that is a 10/10), it's also a story of self-improvement that hooks you from the very first episode. And if you're already watching it, then you know exactly what I'm talking about😇
Si todavía no te has visto Solo Leveling, ¿qué estás esperando?
Imagina que nuestro mundo está siendo amenazado por monstruos de otras dimensiones, y los humanos están teniendo un despertar de magia para cazar a dichos monstruos. Entonces el conocido como el "cazador más débil de todos" —sí, ese al que nadie miraba dos veces— de pronto se convierte en el jugador más poderoso del tablero. Así fue como comenzó la historia de Jin-woo, un protagonista que pasó de cero a leyenda, y que, como el nombre lo dice, nunca deja de subir de nivel, de evolucionar.
Aquí no solo hay acción (que sí, hay muchísima), también hay estrategia, emoción y una exploración brutal de lo que significa tener poder. Jin-woo ya no está tratando sobrevivir, ahora está marcando una diferencia entre los cazadores. Se nota que existe una brecha entre él y los demás, pero también es notorio el corazón que le pone a cada decisión: por su familia, compañeros, su pasado… allí está, latiendo fuerte detrás de cada batalla épica.
Si nos has comenzado la serie, hazte un favor y empieza.Solo Leveling no es solo peleas cool y monstruos gigantes (aunque todo eso es un 10/10), también es una historia de superación personal que engancha desde el primer capítulo. Y si ya la estás viendo, entonces sabes exactamente de qué te estoy hablando😇
If the first season left us breathless, this second season said, “You want more? Take more power, more fights, and more visual perfection.” The animation is insane💥 Sometimes it doesn't look like anime, it looks like a movie with unlimited budget, extra time, and a lot of love. The fights are a work of art, full of detail, fluidity, and that rhythm that makes you don't even want to blink for fear of missing something.
The narrative pacing also shines, as there is no filler at all. There is no time to get bored. If a scene can be summarized, they summarize it for you; if they need to explain a past detail, they do it directly; and, if it has to be epic, it is epic from the first second. This season goes straight to the point, without losing intensity, and that is appreciated😌
¿Qué subió de nivel? (Literalmente)
Si la primera temporada nos dejó sin aliento, esta segunda dijo: "¿quieren más? Toma más poder, más peleas, y más perfección visual". La animación es una locura💥 A veces no parece anime, parece una película con presupuesto ilimitado, tiempo extra y mucho cariño. Las peleas son una obra de arte, llenas de detalle, fluidez, y ese ritmo que hace que no quieras ni parpadear por miedo a perderte algo.
El ritmo narrativo también brilla, dado que no hay ningún momento de relleno. No hay tiempo para aburrirse. Si una escena se puede resumir, te la resumen; si necesitan explicar un detalle pasado, lo hacen directamente; y, si tiene que ser épica, lo es desde el primer segundo. Esta temporada va directo al grano, sin perder intensidad, y eso se agradece😌
And the soundtrack? Fantastic. Giving an extra touch of emotion to specific scenes.
And let's talk about Jin-woo. My boy is no longer here to be underestimated. If in the first season we saw him evolve, now he simply asserts himself. He not only recognizes his power, he uses it with the determination of someone who knows who he is, and it shows in every cool stare and every accurate strike. The difference between him and the other hunters is palpable, almost uncomfortable.
I was looking forward to the last chapters of this season, about Jeju Island. For me, it's one of the best scenes of the manhwa, it's where he can finally show the others and the world all his power, where he becomes a hero. And where one of my favorite characters appears, Beru🩷 Which, by the way, here you can't expect a story where all the characters have their moment of glory, they are friends and help each other, nah, this story is a bit more individualistic and self-centered, having Jin-woo as the center of everything. But does it bother me? No, I'm happy every time he appears on screen.
¿Y el soundtrack? Fantástico. Otorgándole un toque extra de emoción a escenas específicas.
Y hablemos de Jin-woo. Mi chico ya no está aquí para ser subestimado. Si en la primera temporada lo vimos evolucionar, ahora simplemente se impone. No solo reconoce su poder, lo usa con la determinación de alguien que sabe quién es, y eso se nota en cada mirada fría y cada golpe certero. La diferencia entre él y los demás cazadores es palpable, casi incómoda.
Esperaba con ansias los últimos capítulos de esta temporada, acerca de la Isla Jeju. Para mí, es una de las mejores escenas del manhwa, es donde finalmente puede demostrarle a los demás y al mundo todo su poder, donde se convierte en un héroe. Y donde aparece uno de mis personajes favoritos, Beru🩷 Que, por cierto, aquí no se puede esperar una historia donde todos los personajes tienen su momento de gloria, son amigos y se ayudan mutuamente, nah, esta historia es un poco más individualista y egocéntrica, teniendo a Jin-woo como el centro de todo. ¿Pero me molesta? No, soy feliz cada vez que aparece en pantalla.
But, likewise, I'm going to mention the secondary characters that left a little mark on me. Given that although Jin-woo gets all the attention (and rightfully so), we can't help but talk about these supporting characters who do bring weight to the story. Cha Hae-In, the hunter with graceful movements like a ballerina, is a constant presence who stands out for her strength, intuition, sensitivity and a certain interest in Jin-woo👀.
There is also Choi Jong-In, the leader of the Hunters Guild, a character full of charisma, power and tactical intelligence that make him a born leader. And let's not forget Baek Yoon-Ho, leader of the White Tiger Guild, who has always shown his respect for Jin-woo, and whose look, more than competitive, is one of admiration. These three were not just there to fill in scenes, they also gave an extra touch to the world building.
Pero, de igual manera, voy a mencionar los personajes secundarios que dejaron una huellita en mí. Dado que aunque Jin-woo se lleva toda la atención (y con razón), no podemos dejar de hablar de estos personajes secundarios que sí aportan un peso a la historia. Cha Hae-In, la cazadora de movimientos elegantes como una bailarina, es una presencia constante que destaca por su fuerza, intuición, sensibilidad y cierto interés en Jin-woo👀
También está Choi Jong-In, el líder del Gremio Cazadores, un personaje lleno de carisma, poder e inteligencia táctica que lo convierten en un líder nato. Y no olvidemos a Baek Yoon-Ho, líder del Gremio Tigre Blanco, quien siempre ha demostrado su respeto por Jin-woo, y cuya mirada, más que competitiva, es de admiración. Estos tres no estuvieron solo para rellenar escenas, también le dieron un toque extra a la construcción de este mundo.
It's worth mentioning that a point I liked about this season is how Jin-woo stops being just a protagonist who overcame himself to become a figure that generates respect... and fear. He has a dark aura, a calculating mind and, at times, even cold to act; all this puts him in a grey area that makes him even more interesting. It's not just about saving the day, but fighting to protect his own and maintain control. That aloof look, his way of walking in the shadows, makes others feel intimidated. Some see him as a hero, others see him as guilty of certain human losses and, being honest, several times you have to wonder if his humanity will remain intact, or if the price of power is pushing him towards something darker, that even some monsters do not even consider him human.
That detail fills the story with intrigue, what's coming? how far will he go? I know, but I will not tell you🤭
Jin-Woo: ¿héroe, antihéroe… o algo más?
Cabe mencionar, que un punto que me gustó de esta temporada es como Jin-woo deja de ser simplemente un protagonista que se superó a sí mismo para convertirse en una figura que genera respeto… y miedo. Tiene un aura oscura, una mente calculadora y, a veces, hasta fría para actuar; todo esto lo colocan en una zona gris que lo hace aún más interesante. No se trata solo de salvar el día, sino pelear para proteger lo suyo y mantener el control. Esa mirada distante, su forma de caminar entre las sombras, hace que otros se sientan intimidados. Algunos lo ven como héroe, otros lo ven como culpable de ciertas pérdidas humanas y, siendo sincera, varias veces hay que preguntarse si su humanidad seguirá siendo intacta, o si el precio del poder lo está empujando hacia algo más oscuro, que incluso algunos monstruos ni lo consideran humano.
Ese detalle llena de intriga la historia, ¿qué se viene? ¿hasta dónde llegará? Yo lo sé, pero no les diré🤭
In short, this second season not only met expectations, it raised them to the top!✨ Out-of-this-world animation, memorable fights, character development and a narrative rhythm that never falters, all these factors consolidated this anime as one of the best of the season. No filler scenes, no unnecessary breaks, and almost every episode leaves you with your heart in your throat.
Jin-woo continues his solo level up (obviously, that's the name of the anime🤭), but not only in experience, but also in complexity. The world of this story is expanding more and more, and we know less and less, but it hints that what's to come is intense and deep. This season was darker and more addictive, and leaves you longing to see season three soon.
So if you're looking for a story with action, power, moral dilemmas, unforgettable characters and a protagonist that inspires respect and fear.... Solo Leveling is for you🔥 So come on, run to see it, before a portal appears in your house💫
En resumen, esta segunda temporada no solo cumplió con las expectativas, ¡las elevó a lo máximo!✨ Una animación de otro mundo, peleas memorables, desarrollo de personajes y un ritmo narrativo que nunca decae, todos esos factores consolidaron este anime como uno de los mejores de la temporada. Sin escenas de relleno, sin descansos innecesarios, y casi cada capítulo te deja con el corazón en la garganta.
Jin-woo sigue subiendo de nivel (obviamente, así se llama el anime🤭), pero no solo en experiencia, sino también en complejidad. El mundo de esta historia cada vez se expande más y sabemos menos, pero deja entrever que lo que viene es intenso y profundo. Esta temporada fue más oscuro y adictiva, y te deja con el anhelo de ver pronto la tercera.
Así que si estás buscando una historia con acción, poder, dilemas morales, personajes inolvidables y un protagonista que inspira respeto y miedo... Solo Leveling es para ti🔥 Así que vamos, corre a verla, antes de que aparezca un portal en tu casa💫

Hey there, Hive!✨
¡Hola, Hive!✨
Pues he estado algo ausente por acá debido a tener varias responsabilidades que cumplir que me quitan mucho tiempo. Pero habiendo terminado de ver la segunda temporada de Solo Leveling era obligatorio hacer mi reseña al respecto. Eso sí, como usualmente hago este post incluye spoilers, así que si aún no ves la temporada, ve corriendo porque está buenísima y luego vuelves por acá...
Well, I've been somewhat absent from here due to having several responsibilities that take up a lot of my time. But having just finished watching the second season of Solo Leveling, I had to write my review. Of course, as usual, this post includes spoilers, so if you haven't watched the season yet, go right ahead because it's great and then come back here...
Sinopsis | Synopsis
Solo Leveling 나 혼자만 레벨업, es un shōnen que ya tuvo su primera temporada de la cual hablé hace un tiempo en otro post. En esta njueva temporada continuamos viendo la historia de Sung Jinwoo, ahora cazador rango S que continúa haciéndose cada vez más fuerte, al punto de que cada persona que lo conoce queda completamente anonadada, incluso los cazadores más fuertes o las criaturas más poderosas.
Sabemos que Jinwoo hace todo esto por salvar a su madre, pero se mantiene la duda, ¿qué hace a este cazador diferente a los demás?...
Solo Leveling 나 혼자만 레벨업, is a shōnen that already had its first season which I talked about a while ago in another post. In this new season we continue to see the story of Sung Jinwoo, now an S-rank hunter who continues to grow stronger and stronger, to the point that everyone who meets him is completely stunned, even the strongest hunters or the most powerful creatures.
We know Jinwoo is doing all this to save his mother, but the question remains, what makes this hunter different from the others?...
En esta temporada el anime mantiene sólidos sus puntos fuertes, haciendo que siga igual de entretenido de ver o incluso más que en la temporada anterior, puesto que hay mucha más acción. Jinwoo deja ver su poder cada vez más, lo cual lo lleva a enfrentar más retos, uno más difícil que el otro.
El concepto de juego RPG obviamente se mantiene, y algo que resulta fascinante es que el protagonista parece que nunca dejará de subir de nivel. Una vez que crees que alcanzó su límite, termina volviéndose incluso más poderoso. Y aunque esto puede resultar absurdo porque básicamente nadie puede vencerlo en esta temporada, igual sigue siendo increíblemente entretenido. La verdad, ver este tipo de historia de vez en cuando me gusta mucho, porque a veces no quiero ver una historia compleja de progreso lento. A veces solo quiero acción que me divierta, y es el caso con esta serie. No te aburres en ningún momento porque en cada capítulo pasa algo interesante.
Además, ¿a quién no le gusta el héroe insuperable? A mí me encanta, y estoy segura de que a muchos también puesto que este tipo de personajes resulta admirable, porque refleja la historia de alguien que no se dejó vencer y continuó superándose a sí mismo constantemente. ¿Cliché? Sí, lo es, pero sigue siendo bueno y entretenido de ver.
This season, the anime maintains its strong points, making it just as entertaining to watch, if not more so than the previous season, as there's a lot more action. Jinwoo increasingly reveals his power, which leads him to face more challenges, each one more difficult than the last.
The RPG concept obviously remains, and something fascinating is that the protagonist seems to never stop leveling up. Once you think he's reached his limit, he ends up becoming even more powerful. And while this may seem absurd because basically no one can beat him this season, it's still incredibly entertaining. Honestly, I really like watching this kind of story from time to time because sometimes I don't want to watch a complex, slow-moving story. Sometimes I just want action that's fun, and that's the case with this series. You never get bored because something interesting happens in each episode.
Besides, who doesn't love an unbeatable hero? I love it, and I'm sure many others do too, since this type of character is admirable because it reflects the story of someone who refused to give up and constantly continued to surpass themselves. Cliché? Yes, it is, but it's still good and entertaining to watch.
Las peleas son fuertes y entretenidas, la animación se mantiene bastante consistente, hay nuevos personajes y se toma en cuenta todos los cambios que el nuevo poder de Jinwoo conlleva, no solamente para él sino también para el resto, puesto que tal como dirían por allí, un gran poder conlleva una gran responsabilidad.
Un aspecto que me encantó fue que pudimos ver muchas más emociones en el protagonista. En la primera temporada parece que el poder es inversamente proporcional a su humanidad, pero en ésta vemos que después de todo sigue teniendo sus sentimientos muy fuertes y muy humanos. Por allí vi a mucha gente comentando que cuando rompe a llorar en ese gran episodio es como salirse completamente de lo que habían construído para el personaje, y yo no podría estar más en desacuerdo. Literalmente el único propósito que ha tenido desde el principio era salvar a su madre, era lo único que quería lograr. El poder y la fama fue algo que vino como extra. Por ello cuando por fin ve a su madre sonreír y consolarlo, ¿cómo no va a reaccionar? Su llanto de alivio es completamente justificado, y nos da un personaje con mayor profundidad.
The fights are strong and entertaining, the animation remains fairly consistent, there are new characters, and all the changes that Jinwoo's new power brings are taken into account, not only for him but also for the rest, since, as some people say, with great power comes great responsibility.
One aspect I loved was that we got to see a lot more emotion from the protagonist. In the first season, it seemed like power was inversely proportional to his humanity, but in this one we see that, after all, he still has very strong and very human feelings. I saw a lot of people commenting that when he bursts into tears in that great episode, it's like a complete departure from what they had built for the character, and I couldn't disagree more. Literally his only purpose from the beginning was to save his mother; it was the only thing he wanted to achieve. Power and fame were something that came as a bonus. So when he finally sees his mother smile and comfort him, how could he not react? His tears of relief are completely justified, and it gives us a character with greater depth.
Pero ciertamente el anime no es perfecto, y así como mantiene sus puntos positivos también lo hace con los negativos. Hay demasiados personajes secundarios y literalmente ninguno tiene mucho desarrollo. Te explican un poco de quiénes son, un poco de su historia y listo, de vuelta a Jinwoo. Que obviamente eso inevitablemente pasará porque por algo es el protagonista, pero tener tanto personaje sin desarrollo solo hace que se sientan de relleno. Incluso eso se hace más notorio cuando en la pelea final prácticamente no hacen nada, todo lo resuleve Jinwoo sin la más mínima ayuda.
Entiendo que el punto es que él es el más fuerte de todos, pero si al menos uno de los otros personajes hubiera ayudado mínimamente se daría a entender que tienen aunque sea un poco de propósito. Recuerdo que en el último capítulo, cuando Cha Hae-in dice que necesita superarse para estar al nivel de Jinwoo y complementarlo solo pude echarme a reír... ¿De dónde salió tanto amor y admiración? Pues literalmente de ninguna parte. Ningún personaje secundario tiene un propósito real. Dicho sea de paso, también hay muchos plot holes
But the anime certainly isn't perfect, and just as it maintains its positive aspects, it also maintains its negative aspects. There are too many supporting characters, and literally none of them have much development. They explain a little about who they are, a bit of their backstory, and that's it, back to Jinwoo. Obviously, that's bound to happen because he's the protagonist for a reason, but having so many undeveloped characters just makes them feel like filler. This becomes even more noticeable when, in the final fight, they practically do nothing; Jinwoo resolves everything without the slightest help.
I understand the point is that he's the strongest of them all, but if at least one of the other characters had helped even a little, it would have made it clear that they have at least a little purpose. I remember in the last episode, when Cha Hae-in says she needs to improve herself to be on Jinwoo's level and complement him, I could only laugh... Where did so much love and admiration come from? Well, literally out of nowhere. Not a single supporting character has a real purpose. By the way, there are also many plot holes
Pero con todo y sus fallas, realmente Solo Leveling es un muy buen anime. Nunca deja de ser entretenido, siempre está ocurriendo algo relevante y no deja de sorprenderte con las hazañas de Jinwoo, y creo que ese es el punto. Esta historia simplemente trata del héroe de los héroes, de alguien increíblemente fuerte y que seguirá creciendo. ¿Por qué? Pues es algo que aún está por verse en el anime (no he leído el manhwa), pero lo cierto es que creo que muchos estaremos aquí muy al pendiente de las siguientes temporadas.
But beside all its flaws, Solo Leveling is actually a very good anime. It never stops being entertaining, there's always something relevant happening, and it never ceases to surprise you with Jinwoo's feats, and I think that's the point. This story is simply about the hero of heroes, someone incredibly strong who will continue to grow. Why? Well, that's something that remains to be seen in the anime (I haven't read the manhwa), but the truth is that I think many of us will be here, following very closely the next seasons.

Saludos mis queridos Otakus de @theanimerealm. No me aguanté y ya me vi la segunda temporada de Solo Leveling. Y ¿cómo no hacer una reseña luego de verla? Gracias a Dios ya había terminado porque la verdad es que de estar en emisión no hubiera podido aguantarme las ganas entre capítulo y capítulo. Advierto que este post puede contener algo de Spoiler. Así que empiezo.
Esta temporada en comparación con la anterior, para mí tuvo mucho con demasiado. Es decir, fue acción y drama desde el inicio hasta el final en cada capítulo, además que agregaron personajes que al final no los desarrollaron tanto, lo que me da a entender que vendrán muchas temporadas más y hay bastante tela que cortar.
En mi Post Anterior les comenté que la historia me resultó algo lenta, además de extraña por lo de la "otra dimensión", de dejar algunos huecos que por lo que pude notar en los comentarios que me dejaron, disgustó a unos cuantos fanáticos. Yo por mi parte y contra todo pronóstico, en cierto punto disfruté la primera temporada.
Sin embargo, en esta segunda parte, mis emociones estuvieron a flor de piel desde el inicio. Esto porque seguía con mis dudas de que el protagonista quisiera optar por Subir de Nivel sacrificando a los demás sin pensarlo tanto ya que es lo que me dieron a entender con el inicio de la serie del 2024.
Y aunque me llevé varias sorpresas con muertes inesperadas, Jinwoo, en definitiva me resultó un personaje complicado para descifrarlo. No tengo idea de qué hará, cómo lo hará ni cuándo lo hará, lo único que sé es que ganará en cada pelea con algún monstro que tenga, eso es seguro, sin importar lo poderoso que el enemigo sea, él lo derrotará.
Y aunque hubo más cosas que me gustaron en esta temporada, debo resaltar las que no para luego plasmar algunas hipótesis que tengo de lo que sucederá o lo que tengo de sospechas para continuación de la serie. Ahora bien, una de las cosas que no me agradó mucho es la poca participación de personajes secundarios que son bastante relevantes en la historia, como el padre de Jinwoo, sólo apareció en 2 capítulos sin nada que decir ni explicar, sólo indicando que es el papá de su hijo y ya.
¿Qué significan esos "errores" que se presentan mientras Jinwoo está dentro de una mazmorra? Estos detalles presentados en ciertos capítulos me recuerdan mucho a la película de The Matrix, llevándola a una versión animé de manera super extraña e incoherente, porque no explican nada y esto a la larga, cuando se tardan mucho en hacerlo, tiende a molestar, al menos en mi caso.
La verdad es que esperaba más desarrollo y participación o apariciones de los otros Cazadores que sólo ver a Jinwoo ganando con ventaja de sobra, como si fuera un Dios que puede hacer todo lo que le venga en gana sólo porque sí. Si bien es cierto, la vida no ha sido injusta sólo para él, hay otros personajes que se la han visto mal allí, entonces ¿qué lo hace a él tan especial?
Lo otro que me molestó muchísimo y de hecho insulté a Jinwoo ya finalizando la segunda temporada al ver de lo que era capaz de hacer y no hizo, lo que me sigue inspirando a cuestionar a este personaje una y otra vez, ¿será el villano o será el héroe? ¿Y qué si es el villano? A muchos nos encantó Death Note porque contó la historia bajo la perspectiva del malo, pero ¿por qué en esta serie no terminan de aclarar para qué bando trabaja el protagonista? Esto de verdad me va a los nervios.
Ahora, en cuanto a las hipótesis que tengo desde la primera temporada son las siguientes: Me parece que Jinwoo está atrapado en otra dimensión que en este caso sería la realidad real o donde se encuentra el diseñador del famoso sistema en el cual él está jugando. Y mientras más tiempo pase subiendo de nivel y ganando experiencia, su cuerpo está siendo drenado, por lo que a la final no creo que tenga buenas opciones ni salga victorioso en ese aspecto.
O tal vez su cuerpo está vagando en lo que nosotros llamamos El Limbo que según el desarrollo de la historia en esta serie, para ellos vendría a ser el plano del Sistema, no lo sé. Pero es que Jinwoo físicamente cambió tanto que su cuerpo debilucho, insisto debe estar en alguna parte alterna pasando factura por todo ese poder mágico que está usando.
Por mi parte quisiera saber también ¿qué pasó en esa mazmorra donde Jinwoo obtuvo sus poderes? ¿Por qué lo eligieron? ¿Qué le pasó a su papá? ¿Quiénes eran esos dos personajes que salieron al final? ¿Que se esconde entre el universo de las mazmorras y el que nos están haciendo creer que es real? Para mí, hay 3 secciones donde una está siendo omitida por completo y es el mundo del sistema, donde se controlan ambos mundos: el que supuestamente es la realidad y el de las mazmorras. Por ahora sólo me resta esperar a que salga el animé, porque no soy de las que leen el manga. De mi parte le otorgo a esta primera parte sus bien merecidas:

Greetings, my dear Otakus of @theanimerealm. I couldn't resist, and I've already watched the second season of Solo Leveling. And how could I not review it after watching it? Thank God it was already over because the truth is that if it had been on air, I wouldn't have been able to hold the desire between chapters. I warn that this post may contain some Spoilers. So I begin.
This season compared to the previous one, for me, it had a lot with too much. That is, it was action and drama from the beginning to the end in each chapter, plus they added characters that in the end they did not develop so much, which gives me to understand that there will be many more seasons to come and there is a lot to cut.
In my Previous Post I told you that I found the story a bit slow, as well as strange because of the “other dimension”, leaving some gaps that, from what I could notice in the comments I received, upset a few fans. I, for my part and against all odds, at a certain point I enjoyed the first season.
However, in this second part, my emotions were running high from the beginning. This is because I still had my doubts that the protagonist would want to choose to Level Up by sacrificing others without thinking so much about it since that is what I was given to understand with the beginning of the 2024 series.
And although I got several surprises with unexpected deaths, Jinwoo, in short, I found him a complicated character to decipher. I have no idea what he will do, how he will do it, or when he will do it; the only thing I know is that he will win in every fight with some monster he has, that's for sure. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he will defeat him.
And although there were more things that I liked in this season, I must highlight the things that I didn't like and then express some hypotheses that I have about what will happen or what I suspect for the continuation of the series. Now, one of the things that I didn't like is the little participation of secondary characters that are quite relevant in the story, like Jinwoo's father, he only appeared in 2 chapters without anything to say or explain, just indicating that he is the father of his son and that's it.
What do those “mistakes” that are presented while Jinwoo is inside a dungeon mean? These details presented in certain chapters remind me a lot of The Matrix movie, taking it to an anime version in a super strange and incoherent way, because they don't explain anything and this in the long run, when they take too long to do it, tends to annoy, at least in my case.
The truth is, I was expecting more development and participation or appearances from the other Hunters than just seeing Jinwoo winning with an advantage to spare, like he's a God who can do whatever he wants just because. While it's true that life hasn't been unfair to him alone, other characters have had it bad out there, so what makes him so special?
The other thing that bothered me a lot and I insulted Jinwoo already at the end of the second season when I saw what he was capable of doing and didn't do, which keeps inspiring me to question this character over and over again, will he be the villain or will he be the hero? So what if he is the villain? Many of us loved Death Note because it told the story from the bad guy's perspective, but why in this series don't they end up clarifying which side the main character works for? This gets on my nerves.
Now, the hypotheses I have from the first season are as follows: It seems to me that Jinwoo is trapped in another dimension, which in this case would be the real reality or where the designer of the famous system in which he is playing is located. And the more time he spends leveling up and gaining experience, his body is being drained, so in the end, I don't think he will have good options or come out victorious in that aspect.
Or maybe his body is wandering in what we call Limbo which according to the development of the story in this series, for them would come to be the System plane. I don't know. But is that Jinwoo physically changed so much that his weakened body, I insist, must be somewhere alternate taking its toll from all that magic power he's using?
For my part, I would also like to know what happened in that dungeon where Jinwoo got his powers. Why was he chosen? What happened to his dad? Who were those two characters that came out at the end? What is hidden between the dungeon universe and the one we are being led to believe is real? For me, there are 3 sections where one is being completely omitted, and that is the system world, where both worlds are controlled: the one that is supposed to be reality and the one of the dungeons. For now, I can only wait for the anime to come out because I'm not one to read the manga. For my part, I give this first part its well deserved:

Saludos mis queridos Otakus de @theanimerealm. Ni crean que los tengo olvidados. Hoy les vengo a dar mi opinión sobre la primera temporada de la tan aclamada serie del momento conocida como Solo Leveling. Y bueno de entrada sólo diré que no era lo que esperaba, sino mejor.
Esta serie definitivamente tiene una trama estilo montaña rusa. La verdad es que luego de los tres primeros capítulos tenía mis dudas entre seguirla viendo o pararla. Esto porque había varias cosas que me resultaban algo molestas y otras que me intrigaban.
Y bueno, en cada capítulo que pasaba yo simplemente me preguntaba ¿Por qué tanto Hype de esta serie?, ¿Qué es lo que ha gustado tanto?, porque fueron unos cuántos capítulos que no tenía ni idea de cómo iría la historia, sólo veía la evolución inmediata del personaje principal y su cambio drástico de personalidad a medida que aumentaba sus niveles, haciéndose más y más engreído.
Y es que la serie empezó muy bien, inesperadamente Gore para mi gusto y con el típico protagonista que desea hacerse más fuerte para proteger a la gente que ama. Se podría decir que era el típico tema genérico que siempre suele verse en las series de animé.
Pero ¿Qué pasaría si la serie fuera más allá de lo que acostumbras ver y no es la historia de un héroe sino la de un villano en ascenso, la que se cuenta? Yo nunca he visto una historia de este tipo, para mí, es única en su tipo y me chocó mucho ver el cambio drástico del protagonista. Hacerse tan poderoso en tan poco tiempo como por arte de magia. Pero lo que más me molestó fue su cambio de personalidad.
Es decir, ¿dónde está el chico tierno que se preocupaba por los demás? ¿A dónde se fue? porque este nuevo protagonista sin duda me resultó alguien completamente diferente. Ver tanta arrogancia y superioridad lo hicieron para mí alguien muy desagradable, la verdad es que no tolero las personas así.
Por otro lado, la serie tuvo otros aspectos que me gustaron mucho y me dieron "ese no sé qué" para querer terminar de verla. Una de ellas fue el diseño de los dibujos, los efectos de las peleas, las explosiones, la acción, todo estuvo excelente en ese aspecto, tanto que en varias ocasiones me recordó a las mazmorras de World of Warcraft y los grupos que formaba con otros jugadores para subir de nivel.
La historia también me gustó mucho, tanto que me hizo cuestionar el giro inesperado de la trama y preguntarme ¿Será que esta es la historia de un villano y no del clásico protagonista superhéroe?, lo que le dio un toque agregado y una razón más para seguirla viendo y averiguar qué sucedía exactamente.
El final de la primera temporada fue épico. Es decir, la serie empezó bien, estuvo rara pero con un no sé qué que te inspiraba a seguirla viendo para cerrar con broche de oro y recordarme a mi personaje favorito de World of Warcraft, que por lo que veo, no soy la única fan y eso explicaría el hype y la popularidad que alcanzó esta peculiar serie.
Así que no me queda más que seguirla viendo. El final de la primera temporada me hizo una fan más y me uno al grupo de personas que ha causado revuelo en las redes hablando de esta serie sin parar. Gracias a Dios no me he hecho spoiler hasta el momento y espero verla completa sin saber qué pasará. De mi parte le otorgo a esta primera parte sus bien merecidas:

Greetings, my dear Otakus of @theanimerealm. Don't even think that I have forgotten you. Today, I'm here to give you my opinion about the first season of the highly acclaimed series of the moment known as Solo Leveling. Well, right off the bat, I'll just say that it was not what I expected, but it was better.
This series has a roller-coaster plot. The truth is that after the first three chapters, I had my doubts about continuing to watch it or stopping it. This is because there were several things that I found somewhat annoying and others that intrigued me.
And well, with each passing chapter I just wondered Why so much Hype for this series, what is it that has been so liked, because it was a few chapters that I had no idea how the story would go, I just saw the immediate evolution of the main character and his drastic change of personality as he increased his levels, becoming more and more cocky.
And the series started very well, unexpectedly Gore for my taste and with the typical protagonist who wants to become stronger to protect the people he loves. You could say that it was the typical generic theme that is always seen in anime series.
But what if the series went beyond what you're used to seeing, and it's not the story of a hero but that of a villain on the rise that's being told? I have never seen such a story; to me, it is one of a kind, and I was very shocked to see the drastic change of the protagonist. To become so powerful in such a short time as if by magic. But what bothered me the most was his personality change.
I mean, where is the tender boy who cared about others? Where did he go? This new protagonist certainly turned out to be someone completely different from me. Seeing so much arrogance and superiority made him, for me, someone very unpleasant; the truth is that I don't tolerate people like that.
On the other hand, the series had other aspects that I liked a lot and gave me “that I don't know what” to want to finish watching it. One of them was the design of the drawings, the effects of the fights, the explosions, the action, everything was excellent in that aspect, so much so that in several occasions it reminded me of the dungeons of World of Warcraft and the groups I formed with other players to level up.
I also really liked the story, so much so that it made me question the unexpected plot twist and wonder Could this be the story of a villain and not the classic superhero protagonist?, which gave it an added twist and one more reason to keep watching and find out what exactly was going on.
The end of the first season was epic. I mean, the series started well, it was weird but with a something that inspired you to keep watching it to close with a flourish and remind me of my favorite character from World of Warcraft, which I see, I'm not the only fan and that would explain the hype and popularity that reached this peculiar series.
So I have no choice but to keep watching it. The end of the first season made me one more fan, and I joined the group of people who have caused a stir in the networks talking about this series non-stop. Thank God I have not become a spoiler so far, and I hope to see it complete without knowing what will happen. For my part, I give this first season its well deserved:
On Saturday has come to an end one of the most impressive anime I've had the opportunity to watch, Solo Leveling after 13 episodes has concluded its second season. When I decided to watch this story last year I was shocked by the quality, in all departments, that it was able to offer in that first season making me think that it was going to be very difficult to match it. Fortunately I was wrong in a big way. What I saw in this second installment is a total madness, especially the last 3 chapters that are already ranked as the best anime in many years even reaching a 9.8 on IMDb.
El día sábado ha llegado a su fin uno de los anime más impresionantes que he tenido la oportunidad de ver, Solo Leveling después de 13 episodios ha concluido su segunda temporada. Cuando decido ver esta historia el año pasado quedé impactado por la calidad, en todos los departamentos, que fue capaz de ofrecer en esa primera temporada haciéndome pensar que iba a ser muy complicado igualarla. Afortunadamente me equivoqué en grande. Lo visto en esta segunda entrega es una locura total, sobretodo los últimos 3 capítulos que ya están rankeados como de lo mejor del anime en muchos años llegando incluso a un 9.8 en IMDb.
This anime has several remarkable things, I think the first one could be the vertical plot it has. Sung Jinwoo is not like the rest, he is not an ordinary hunter and his life, after the events of the first season, became a kind of game where he keeps leveling up making him one of the best “S” rank hunters in the world, if not the best. This makes that chapter after chapter one gets hooked watching how he overcomes himself carrying out mission after mission and the plot in question is him achieving a series of objectives to challenge his own limits.
Este anime tiene varias cosas destacables, creo que la primera pudiera ser la trama tan vertical que tiene. Sung Jinwoo no es como el resto, no es un cazador ordinario y es que su vida, después de los sucesos de la primera temporada, se convirtió en una especie de juego en donde él no para de subir de nivel convirtiéndolo en uno de los mejores cazadores rango "S" del mundo, por no decir que es el mejor. Esto hace que capitulo tras capitulo uno se enganche viendo como se supera llevando a cabo misión tras misión y es que la trama en cuestión es él logrando una serie de objetivos para desafiar sus propios límites.
In parallel we have the plot involving the other hunters and how that world is a real competition of egos. Each of them, belonging to different clans, are always looking to surpass the other, it is a kind of “healthy” rivalry but that makes the story on that side also very entertaining. Up to a certain point the weight of the plot was very emotional and is that Jinwoo did everything for his mother, to save her, but after having achieved it I think that in him remained a bit of ambition that will push him to do everything we see in this second season. In addition to all this we must say that the famous raid to the island to eliminate some killer ants also ends up developing taking all the attention of the last episodes.
En paralelo tenemos la trama que involucra a los demás cazadores y en cómo ese mundo es una verdadera competencia de egos. Cada uno de ellos, pertenecientes a diferentes clanes, siempre están en busca de superar al otro, es una especie de rivalidad "sana" pero que hace que la historia por ese lado también sea muy entretenida. Hasta cierto punto el peso de la trama era muy emotivo y es que Jinwoo hizo todo por su madre, por salvarla, pero después de haberlo conseguido creo que en él quedó un poco de ambición que lo empujará a hacer todo lo que vemos en esta segunda temporada. Además de todo esto hay que decir que la famosa incursión a la isla para eliminar a unas hormigas asesinas también se termina desarrollando llevándose toda la atención de los últimos episodios.
In conclusion is that the action in this season increases substantially, we see many more fights and combats at the same time that the drama decreases because as I said, Jinwoo's mom is safe. Speaking of those fights I feel that the strong point of this anime is its animation, it is very complicated to describe the quality of what we see, if I dare to say it, I consider that this is at the same level as Jujutsu Kaisen, even above. Only Leveling can dethrone great anime that are placed at the top. The fluidity, the level of detail, the use of slow motion, the gore and the violence that is present; everything comes together to make the final result an anime that is a 10/10.
En conclusión es que la acción en esta temporada aumenta sustancialmente, vemos muchas más peleas y combates al mismo tiempo que el drama disminuye porque como ya dije, la mamá de Jinwoo está a salvo. Hablando de esas peleas siento que el punto fuerte de este anime es su animación, es muy complicado describir la calidad de lo que vemos, si me animan a decirlo pues considero que esto está al mismo nivel que Jujutsu Kaisen, incluso por encima. Solo Leveling puede destronar a grandes animes que están ubicados en lo más alto. La fluidez, el nivel de detalle, el uso de la cámara lenta, el gore y la violencia que hay; todo se une para que el resultado final sea un anime que es un 10/10.
The way this season ended, obviously it is estimated that the third part will come, when? - There is the detail but we could think that at least for 2026. It was a very open ending where there were many questions, new characters, mysterious characters that did not end up appearing and the fact that Jinwoo is presented with another challenge that he will have to see how he will succeed. The second season was infinitely better than the first, to those who read me and still haven't seen any of this anime, don't think twice and go and enjoy what is perhaps one of the best anime of the last years.
Por la forma en como terminó esta temporada obviamente se estima que venga la tercera parte, cuando? - hay está el detalle pero se pudiera pensar que mínimo para el 2026. Fue un final sumamente abierto en donde quedaron muchas interrogantes, personajes nuevos, personajes misteriosos que no terminaron de aparecer y el hecho de que a Jinwoo se le presenta otro reto del que tendrá que ver como sale airoso. La segunda temporada fue infinitamente mejor que la primera, a aquellos que me leen y aún no ha visto nada de este anime pues no lo piensen más y vayan a disfrutar del que quizás sea uno de los mejores animes de los últimos años.

Well friends that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to all, see you next time!

Bueno amigos por hoy es todo, espero que les haya gustado.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos leemos en la próxima!
Today I bring you the last post of the month of March for the @theanimerealm community and I'm going to tell you about an anime that is being very popular and that its second season just ended this weekend: Solo Leveling.
Also known as "Ore dake Level up na ken" in Japanese, it is an anime based on the mahnwa Solo Leveling by South Korean author Chu-Gong and is being produced by A-1 Pictures.
In a world where portals to dungeons with monsters appeared, some people awakened special powers that allow them to fight against these monsters and protect humanity. These people are known as hunters, and they have the peculiarity that once awakened, they cannot improve their abilities or increase their power.
In these circumstances we meet Sung Jinwoo, a Rank E hunter, who even being the weakest in the world, does not give up on his missions and shows a constant determination to keep going. However, on a raid that should have been easy for his team, they end up trapped in a double dungeon where they are attacked by giant statues and Jinwoo is killed.... Or so it was supposed to happen, but he woke up in the hospital realizing that he received "the system", a video game-like interface that allows him to level up his skills and gradually improve.
In this second season we see Jinwoo continue his journey through The Tower of Hell where, upon completion, he will receive the ingredients needed to make the Elixir of Life, a medicine that will allow his mother to awaken from her 4-year long sleep, plus he faces the fearsome Ice Bears and Ice Elves.
I really liked that in this season they delved a bit more into the other S-Rank hunters, something that was long overdue from the first season and that was much better coming into the end of season arc with the 4th Jeju Island Incursion, where we got to see all of Korea's S-Rankers in action and saw what they are capable of.
The character design is great, the characters and their outfits look great. The animation was a 10/10 from start to finish. A-1 Pictures really did a great job with this anime. The characters, the scenery, the weapons and the battle sequences, which are very fluid and with excellent choreography, are the highlights.
The opening is one of my favorites of the season, although I must admit that I watched few anime of the season. The theme ReawakeR, performed by LiSa and Felix from Stray Kids, is a dynamic theme that, along with the images we see in the opening, serves as a preparation for what we will see in the series without giving us too many spoilers.
The closing theme, titled Un-Apex and performed by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, is so good that it could easily be another opening. The animation shows us images that allude to Sung Jinwoo's evolution since he got "the system" and I really like the contrast between his former self and his current one.
I don't give many details about what we saw in the season because I don't want to give you spoilers. I want you, if you dare to watch it, to live the experience as it should be.
This is an anime that, although it reuses elements already seen in other series such as humans awakening powers after magical "accidents" and video game elements, it does so in a unique way that sets it apart from other similar series.
The action is very good and the animation by A-1 Pictures is spectacular, rivaling that shown by MAPPA in Jujutsu Kaisen, which is saying quite a bit.

If you ask me for a rating, I would easily give this anime a 10/10, and although it had certain details criticized at the time by the community, to me they don't seem to be reason enough to detract from its score. In fact, I didn't mention them because, according to me, it's not worth it.
Now you tell me, have you seen Solo Leveling and what did you think? Leave me your opinion in the comments. And if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? You're missing out on one of the best anime of recent times.
Hoy les traigo la última publicación del mes de Marzo para la comunidad de @theanimerealm y voy a hablarles de un anime que esta siendo muy popular y que su segunda temporada acaba de terminar este fin de semana: Solo Leveling.
También conocido como "Ore dake Level up na ken" en japonés, es un anime basado en el mahnwa Solo Leveling del autor surcoreano Chu-Gong y que está siendo producido por A-1 Pictures.
En un mundo donde aparecieron portales hacia mazmorras con monstruos, algunas personas despertaron poderes especiales que les permiten luchar contra dichos monstruos y proteger a la humanidad. Estas personas son conocidas como cazadores, y tienen la peculiaridad de que una vez despertaron, no pueden mejorar sus habilidades ni aumentar su poder.
En estas circunstancias conocemos a Sung Jinwoo, un cazador de Rango E, que aún siendo el más débil del mundo, no se rinde en sus misiones y muestra una determinación constante a seguir adelante. Sin embargo, en una incursión que debía ser fácil para su equipo, terminan atrapados en una mazmorra doble donde son atacados por estatuas gigantes y Jinwoo es asesinado... O eso debía suceder, pero despertó en el hospital dándose cuenta que recibió "el sistema", una interfaz parecida a un videojuego que le permite subir de nivel sus habilidades y mejorar paulatinamente.
En esta segunda temporada vemos a Jinwoo continuar su camino a través de La Torre del Infierno donde, al completarla, recibirá los ingredientes necesarios para fabricar el Elixir de la Vida, un medicamento que le permitirá a su madre despertar de su largo sueño de 4 años, además de que se enfrenta a los temibles Osos y Elfos de Hielo.
Me gustó mucho que en esta temporada ahondaran un poco más en los otros cazadores de Rango S, algo que estaba pendiente desde la primera temporada y que fue mucho mejor al llegar al arco de final de temporada con la 4ta Incursión a la Isla Jeju, donde pudimos ver en acción a todos los Rango S de Corea y vimos de lo que son capaces de hacer.
El diseño de personajes es genial, los personajes y sus indumentarias se ven muy bien. La animación fue un 10/10 de principio a fin. De verdad que A-1 Pictures se lució con este anime. Los personajes, las escenografías, las armas y las secuencias de batallas, que son muy fluidas y con excelente coreografía, son lo más destacado.
El opening es de mis favoritos de la temporada, aunque debo admitir que vi pocos animes de la misma. El tema ReawakeR, interpretado por LiSa y Felix de Stray Kids, es un tema dinámico que, junto a las imágenes que vemos en la apertura, sirve como preparación a lo que veremos en la serie sin darnos muchos spoilers.
El tema de cierre, titulado Un-Apex e interpretado por TK de Ling Tosite Sigure, es tan bueno que fácilmente podría ser otro opening. La animación nos muestra imágenes que hacen alusión a la evolución de Sung Jinwoo desde que obtuvo "el sistema" y me gusta muchísimo el contraste entre su antiguo yo y el actual.
No doy muchos detalles sobre lo visto en la temporada porque no quiero darles spoilers. Quiero que, si se animan a verla, vivan la experiencia como se debe.
Este es un anime que, aunque reutiliza elementos ya vistos en otras series como el hecho de que los humanos despiertan poderes después de "accidentes" mágicos y elementos de videojuegos, lo hace de una manera única que marca la diferencia con respecto a las demás series similares.
La acción es muy buena y la animación de A-1 Pictures es espectacular, rivalizando con lo mostrado por MAPPA en Jujutsu Kaisen, que es bastante decir.

Si me preguntan por una calificación, yo a este anime fácilmente le daría un 10/10, y aunque tuvo ciertos detalles criticados en su momento por la comunidad, a mí no me parece que sean motivo suficiente para restarle puntuación. De hecho, no los mencioné porque, según yo, no merece la pena hacerlo.
Ahora tú dime, ¿Ya viste Solo Leveling? ¿Qué te pareció? Déjame tu opinión en los comentarios. Y si no lo has visto, ¿Qué esperas? Te estás perdiendo uno de los mejores animes de los últimos tiempos.
I hope I'm not wrong but I feel that this anime is not being talked about as it should be. When I saw it when it premiered last year I was really surprised by the quality of it to the point that the first season was a success and at the same time full of quality. A lot of impatience waiting a full year to see its continuation but it has finally arrived and I must say something: in the episodes so far, I consider that it is already surpassing the first season but by a very long stretch. Obviously this has been fueled by the way that season ended, making us think that the best was yet to come, which is indeed the case.
Espero no estar equivocado pero siento que no se está hablando como se debería de este anime. Cuando lo vi al momento de estrenarse el año pasado la verdad quedé muy sorprendido por la calidad del mismo al punto de que esa primera temporada fue un éxito al mismo tiempo que llena de calidad. Mucha impaciencia esperar un año completo para ver su continuación pero finalmente ha llegado y debo decir algo: en los episodios que van hasta ahora, considero que ya está superando a la primera temporada pero por un tramo bien largo. Obviamente esto ha sido alimentado por la forma en la que culminó aquella temporada haciéndonos pensar que lo mejor estaría por llegar cosa que en efecto es así.
Basically we have Sung Jinwoo, a human hunter with the lowest rank in existence who had a second awakening and is now one of the most powerful and fearsome. The interesting thing is that he doesn't do this because he likes it or because of some kind of interest in this world, he only moves for and for his mother who is sick. He needs to find three “ingredients” to form a kind of elixir in order to save her. Along the way, Sung becomes stronger and stronger, which attracts the attention of the other hunters and authorities, generating a very entertaining plot. This is the basics. Now, why do I say it has improved?
Basicamente tenemos a Sung Jinwoo, un cazador humano con el rango más bajo que existe que tuvo un segundo despertar y ahora es de los más poderosos y temibles. Lo interesante es que él no hace esto por que le guste o por algún tipo de interés dentro de este mundo, él solo se mueve por y para su madre quien está enferma. Necesita buscar tres "ingredientes" para formar una especie de elixir para así poder salvarla. En ese camino Sung se va volviendo cada vez más fuerte lo que hace que llame la atención de los otros cazadores y autoridades generando una trama bien entretenida. Esto es lo básico. Ahora, por qué digo que ha mejorado?
In relation to the first season we have seen a considerable increase in action, at least there is a fight in each chapter, but not just any fight, we are talking about a level of animation like very few anime have. To give you a context of the quality, episode 6 has been rated with a 9.8/10 by the people of IMDb and I can certainly say that this has been the best of the two seasons. The fluidity with which you show us those scenes, all the resources used: slow motion, 3D and above all the context that is always behind makes everything much more enjoyable. In fact, in that sixth chapter is where Sung really shows who he is and what he is capable of doing, something he has always tried to keep secret.
En relación a la primera temporada hemos visto un incremento considerable de la acción, por lo menos hay una pelea en cada capítulo, pero no cualquier pelea, estamos hablando de un nivel en la animación como muy pocos animes tienen. Para que tengan contexto de la calidad que hay el episodio 6 ha sido valorado con un 9.8/10 por la gente de IMDb y es que ciertamente puedo decir que ese ha sido el mejor a lo largo de las dos temporadas. La fluidez con la que nos muestras esas escenas, todos los recursos usados: la cámara lenta, el 3D y sobretodo el contexto que siempre hay detrás hace que todo sea mucho más disfrutable. De hecho, en ese sexto capítulo es donde Sung muestra realmente quien es y de lo que es capaz de hacer, cosa que siempre ha tratado de mantenerla en secreto.
The urgency is much more noticeable as it is not long before he gets what he is looking for, this is good for the plot because unlike the first one where Sung had already started the search back then he was not as strong as he is now. His abilities increase so he obviously becomes more reckless and with that the plot takes off. Although the highlight is everything related to these battles, the plot is also very cool; that competition to see who is the best among all the hunters, that “envy” in the environment, the surprise to really understand Sung's power makes everything add up.
Se nota mucho más la urgencia ya que falta poco para que él consiga lo que tanto está buscando, esto a la trama le viene bien porque a diferencia de la primera en donde ya Sung había comenzado la busqueda en aquel entonces no era tan fuerte como lo es ahora. Sus capacidades aumentan por lo que obviamente él se vuelve más temerario y con eso la trama agarra más vuelo. Aunque el plato fuerte sea todo lo relacionado a estas batallas también la trama fuera de eso está muy cool; esa competencia por ver quien es el mejor entre todos los cazadores, esa "envidia" que hay en el ambiente, la sorpresa al entender realmente el poder de Sung hace que todo sume.
There are 5 chapters left for the end where many things can happen, I think that what is coming will be better because they already showed a new problem, there is a new character out there that has not been talked about much but that I have a feeling will be key for what is left. I feel this anime is still very underrated, I easily put it on par with a gem like Jujutsu Kaisen. In summary what we have seen so far of the second season is far superior to the previous season, more depth in the characters and their relationships, much more level in the fights and action scenes which makes the overall story much more complete. A lot of hype for the rest, if you have not seen it, I recommend it without any doubt.
Faltan 5 capitulos para el final en donde pueden pasar muchas cosas, creo que lo que se viene será mejor porque ya asomaron un nuevo problema, hay un nuevo personaje por ahí suelto del que no se ha hablado mucho pero que presiento será clave para lo que queda. Este anime lo siento muy subvalorado todavía, fácilmente lo pongo a la par de una joya como Jujutsu Kaisen. En síntesis lo que hasta ahora hemos visto de segunda temporada es muy superior a la temporada anterior, más profundización en los personajes y sus relaciones, bastante más nivel en las peleas y escenas de acción lo que hace que la historia en general sea mucho más completa. Mucho hype por lo queda, si no la has visto pues te la recomiendo sin ninguna duda.
›Action Fantasy ~ Solo Leveling (Season 1) ~ Review@psyberkid540d
The popularity of anime is increasing every day. Here I will share an anime that is creating a stir in the anime world which is called Solo leveling. This is an anime written by South Korean writer Chugong. It was first released in 2024 and won the hearts of anime lovers worldwide.
Story Summary
This story is made around Hunters who fight against evil forces. Among them, the main character of the story is Sung Jin Woo, who is known as the weakest Hunter in the anime world. On a mission, he meets a mysterious force that changes his life forever. He possesses a power called the System and makes himself stronger day by day. The story is an inspiring journey of him becoming unstoppable from weak.
In this, he is forced to train the System and do many types of exercises so that he can send his level here. If he does not exercise, it goes with him, which is very scary, that is why he constantly does these exercises to increase his level and get rewards. In this way, he makes himself much stronger.
In this, he continues to complete many types of big missions. Then a rich hunter who was much less powerful in his own hunter but wanted to take his company to great heights contacted him and wanted to pay a lot of money, so Gino contacted him and started completing big missions. This continued to grow and at the same time he also got money to see his family.
The animation quality of the first season of Solo Leveling is undoubtedly extraordinary. Animation studio A-1 Pictures' battle scenes, especially Sung Jin Woo's every fight scene, are as detailed as they are vivid. The special effects show the magical power and the strength of the characters. The animation is presented in such a way that the audience can easily connect with every moment.
Overall the anime was very good and enjoyed watching it very much. The second season is here but I haven't watched it yet because if I watch it from the first, I will be very anxious to watch the second one in my mind. I will start watching after some episodes come out. And that's why I shared it with you.

Cuándo me recomendaron este anime la verdad es que esperaba ver simplemente el típico anime de acción, Y la verdad es que no me equivoqué pero esto significa que sea malo simplemente que el anime es lo que es un anime entretenido con bastantes dosis de comedia y de acción casi que por igual, algo que me encantó bastante de este anime es que ves el progreso del protagonista en cada episodio Y sí la personalidad tan chistosa o cómica Se va perdiendo según el va evolucionando.
When I was recommended this anime the truth is that I expected to see just the typical action anime, And the truth is that I was not wrong but this does not mean that it is bad just that the anime is what it is an entertaining anime with enough doses of comedy and action almost equally, something that I loved a lot of this anime is that you see the progress of the protagonist in each episode And yes so funny or comic personality is lost as it evolves.
La primera temporada te deja lo suficientemente satisfecha como para intentar ver la segunda temporada que por cierto se acaba de estrenar este mes de enero, la animación es bastante buena y sólida no se siente que en ningún momento haya algo mal dibujo, las peleas son bastante fluidas y concretas la historia en Cómo va avanzando te van creando más interrogantes lo suficientemente satisfactores como para seguir viendo el anime.
The first season leaves you satisfied enough to try to watch the second season, which by the way has just been released this January, the animation is quite good and solid, you do not feel that at any time there is something wrong drawing, the fights are quite fluid and concrete the story in how it progresses will create more questions enough satisfying to continue watching the anime.
›Action Comedy Fantasy~ Solo leveling - Review@infinitejourney548d
Hello everyone today I want to share with you my opinion and review of a well known famous anime series I think most people have seen the name of anime Solo leveling. It is a very popular anime these days. So, going to give full review of this anime.
Summery
A fantasy world exists where humans, hunters have magical powers. Some people from among these people join the Hunter Association to save the people from the monster so that they can fight this monster and save the mankind. There is a weak hunter named Song Jinwu. He is the weakest hunter in this anime. He is struggling to survive. One day, from a dungeon, extraordinary power came into Song Jinwu. After this incident he became one of the strongest hunters and then conquered the strongest dungeon.
Story
The story of solo leveling is really nice. At the beginning of this Enemy we see that some kind of monster has invaded the world. These dungeons appeared randomly in different places around the world. If not eradicated quickly, the monsters will destroy the people of the world. Then these dungeons began to appear all over the world. Some of the strongest people in the world's population gained the power they needed to fight these monsters and stop the dungeons. These people are called hunters and have different levels of power.
This enemy is the main character Sung Jinwoo.
Sung Jinwu is an E-Rank hunter who is known as the weakest hunter at the time. He joins the Hunter Association to earn some money to pay his sister's school fees and his mother's hospital bills. His friend's name is Lee Zaheer. His friend is a healer. Since Sung Jinwu is the weakest hunter, his friend is always on his heels. So that he can live. Because when Sung Jinwu goes to fight with a monster, the fight is so fierce that he suffers a lot, because of which his friends are always on the heels. in order to heal his wounds. He joins a raiding party with his friend B-Rank Healer Lee Juhee on a regular raid in a Drunk dungeon. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when the group discovers a hidden chamber deep within the gate.
That hidden chamber is a double dungeon. Inside which some extremely powerful statues kill most of Jinwu's party members. Jinwoo sacrifices himself to allow Juhee and Gun Chiul to escape. They would have died there if Song Jinwu hadn't given them a chance to escape. Jinwoo felt like time had stopped. Just then a mysterious message appears in front of him asking if he will accept a role as a "player". With no other options, Jinu selects "Yes".
Song Jinwu receives a mysterious key reward as a quest reward from his system. With this key he can enter a dungeon. Jinwoo quickly entered the dungeon without delaying long. In this dungeon he can see many kinds of monsters. And then he fights wolves, goblins and other monsters with his newfound powers. Then he slowly kills all the monsters. Jinwoo becomes confident in his abilities and learns new skills.
Sung Jinwoo joins Jinho. But Song Jinwoo had a condition that only he and Jinho would go on the expedition. So they started completing missions as two-man teams. So that they can legally enter a C-rank dungeon and clear that dungeon. They form a group of hunters. They will only stand outside the dungeon. So that they make their campaign legally acceptable. Song Jinwoo and Jinho continue to clear the dungeons by themselves. After they finished their work, Song Jinwu, head of the White Tiger Guild's second management office, tried to recruit them into the group. But Song Jinwu disobeyed them and they did not have money to hire Song Jinwu. So they leave.
Song Jinwu enters a mysterious new dungeon. Battle the Black Knight while going through the dungeon. But they were not so strong that Song Jinwu defeated them very easily. As Song Jinwu walked forward, he saw a large door and as he entered, Song Jinwu had to face a powerful Red Knight. That red knight is guarding an empty throne. Song Jinwu was often defeated while fighting him but his will to live reawakened him and he defeated him.A new quest begins on his system as Ginyu kills the boss. After that, Song Jinwu saw a shadow emerging from all the knights. At first he didn't understand but later he understood. The system then tells him to call all the knights Arise. When Song Jinwu calls all the knights Arise, all the knights come to life as shadows. Sung Jinwu then thought that he would awaken Igris, the boss of the knights, and called Igris Arise. But after the first two times he fails, he awakens Igris three times. From then on, Igris became the most powerful shadow in the Shadow Army, and Song Jinwu named it Igris.
Trailer
This trailer made it look very interesting from me. This anime looked very interesting and I want to watch it because everyone says it's a good one. The animation is also great, I think the next season will be even better than this.
Review
When this anime was first released. I thought it might not be good but then I started to see what happened to me. I enjoyed watching this anime so much that I watched this anime 4 to 5 times. I suggest you watch the first three episodes of this anime. I think you'll be addicted to episode number one. If you don't continue, you're missing a masterpiece. I like this anime last episode very amazing. I think when you watch this anime last episode. You will like this anime more and more interesting.
›Ore dake Level Up na Ken 「俺だけレベルアップな件 」 Solo Leveling (2024, 12 episodes)@onlyjob551d
Show begins as a hero's journey where tragic accident physically transformed main character into RPG game player/character, with Virtual Reality (VR) interface embedded into his physiology. So his "journey" is reduced to visiting portals and slaying monsters to earn points that he invest into his own abilities, being "superior" to ordinary non-player men. First few episodes are interesting only until they introduce "life is a computer game" concept, literally. After that it is boring, pointless and tedious, with absurd game elements like inventory (allowing player to pull previously bought weapons from nowhere), instant healing, etc. Absurd, mediocre and overrated show with absolutely nothing to praise.
Idea of life is a game was much better explored in "Sword Art Online" and "Gantz" shows, philosophically and story-wise, in much more plausible way.
I feel it's pretty odd to make a review about this manga when the 2nd season of it's prequel's anime is to start airing later today. Yet due to lack of material, planning and it just happens to be what I've been reading recently so here we are.
After the Solo Leveling manga ended on December 29th 2023, it had 3 more chapters which were hints of a sequel brewing. I, a huge fan of the work at that time was pumped about it.
Yet after a few months, I switching manga apps a few times and losing my catalogue of manga's, plus there were also other manga's and anime series that were coming up.
So I forgot about the well awaited sequel.
At least, until a week ago...
Solo Leveling: Ragnarok
***
### Plot
> Again, the Earth is under threat from the gods of other universes. Seeking to fill the void left by the Absolute Being, Itarim invade earth and it's hunters, trying to strengthen their ranks.
Sung Jinwoo has no choice but to send Beru, the shadow ant king, to awaken his son's powers and start him on the journey he once took.
Now Sung Suhoi must conquer the shadow dungeons and earn his place in the world of hunters as he investigates and battle a whole new evil.
If there's one thing the Solo Leveling manga did well, it created the most satisfying ending.
A perfect mix of fulfillment and longing, leaving enough material for a next generation prequel such as this.
The era of Sung Jinwoo is over, he has leveled up to the point of a god, an overpowered infact. So there's no need for the manga to focus on him anymore.
Instead we go over to his son, a spitting image, yet different in his own subtle way.
I started reading this manga three days ago and I've noticed a lot of differences between it and the original Solo Leveling...
And actually that is a given, for if Naruto and Boruto has thought me anything, its the fact that the next generation would be bound to have its differences.
Yet unlike the Naruto-Boruto incident, I don't find myself outright hating this manga because of it's differences.
Given a lot of things are annoying, like the dry end forced humor and the lack of plot depth, plus the idea that Suho is just a prodigy who's managing of winning fights and such in one go.
I need me a high end adrenaline packed humbling moment like how Jinwoo first met Igris.
Yet like I said this manga is just starting. So I guess I'll just sit tight and see if they'll improve, or if these things that are still just minor annoyances ends up in me hating on the whole fandom.
Hopefully not though...
In other news, Solo Leveling season 2 is starting today and for ye strictly anime watchers, I'm here to tell you that you're in for lovely fights that'll leave you at the edge of your seats.
At least if the animation studio doesn't fluff things up...

›Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- | OFFICIAL TRAILER (2024)@braxqlave1560d
As a huge fan of the webtoon and anime series . I have been waiting for what feels like an eternity for the next installment of Sung Jin - Woo is epic journey . The first season was incredible with its unique blend of action adventures and fantasy elements .
This trailer did not disappoint The animation looks sleek and polished the action scenes are intense and thrilling and the storyline seems to be taking a darker more sinister turn . I am loving every minute of it .
I am particularly excited to see how Jin - Woo is character evolves in this season . His growth a development are truly inspiring and I am eager to see what new challenges he will face in this season .
The introduction of new characters and plot twists has also piqued my interest . The trailer hints at a deeper conspiracy involving the shadows and I am curious to see how Jin - Woo and his allies will navigate this complex web of intrigue .
What are your thoughts on the trailer ? Are you as excited as I am ? Let's discuss our theories and predictions in the comments below .
Solo Leveling or Ore dake Level Up na Ken has been one of the best and most acclaimed anime of this year and with good reason and from these first lines I tell you that this is impressive from beginning to end. Being an adaptation of a South Korean literary work, this story comes to leave everyone who watches its chapters speechless. Released in January of this 2024 I'm running late the train but very happy to know that the second season arrives in January 2025 so I won't have to wait long to stay hooked to this addictive story. Supernatural story full of fantasy and action.
Solo Leveling o Ore dake Level Up na Ken ha sido uno de los mejores y más aclamados anime de este año y con mucha razón y es que desde estas primeras líneas les digo que esto es impresionante de principio a fin. Siendo una adaptación de una obra literaria surcoreana esta historia llega para dejar boquiabiertos a todo aquel que vea sus capítulos. Estrenado en enero de este 2024 estoy llegando tarde el tren pero muy feliz al saber que la segunda temporada llega en enero del 2025 así que no tendré que esperar mucho para seguir enganchado a esta historia tan adictiva. Historia sobrenatural llena de fantasía y acción.
We are located in a world where some humans are called “hunters”, people who had a kind of awakening and with it the arrival of magical powers and abilities to their lives. These hunters are divided into several ranks, S, A, B, B, C, D and E being the lowest. The thing is that in this world, for some time now and without really knowing why, some portals have been opened that lead to dungeons, homes of any kind of creatures that endanger the population. That's when these hunters go into action to eliminate these bugs and thus be able to close the portals.
Nos ubicamos en un mundo en donde algunos humanos son llamados "cazadores", personas que tuvieron una especie de despertar y con él la llegada de poderes mágicos y habilidades a sus vidas. Estos cazadores se dividen en varios rangos, S, A, B, C, D y el E siendo el más bajo. La cosa es que en este mundo, de un tiempo para acá y sin saber realmente el por qué, se han abierto unos portales que llevan a mazmorras, casas de cualquier especie de criaturas que ponen en peligro a la población. Es ahí cuando estos cazadores entran en acción para eliminar a estos bichos y así poder cerrar los portales.
This brings us to our protagonist Sung Jin-woo, an E-ranked hunter and who is nicknamed the weakest of them all being teased. The issue with Jinwoo is that he can't stop doing this because he needs the money (by doing the dungeons they get some stones that are worth a lot of money) so he has no choice but to keep exposing his life. One day our protagonist has a direct experience with death and something in him changes, his life is now governed as if it were a video game where he has to complete missions that will make him level up making him gradually stronger. As in everything, power and having better skills is addictive so Jinwoo will not rest until he becomes the best.
Esto nos lleva a nuestro protagonista Sung Jin-woo, un cazador de rango E y quien es apodado el más débil de todos siendo objeto de burlas. El tema con Jinwoo es que no puede dejar de hacer esto porque necesita el dinero (al hacer las mazmorras obtienen unas piedras que valen mucho dinero) por lo que no le queda otro remedio que seguir exponiendo su vida. Un buen día nuestro protagonista tiene una experiencia directa con la muerte y algo en él cambia, su vida ahora se rige como si fuera un videojuego en donde tiene que ir completando misiones que lo harán subir de nivel haciéndolo poco a poco más fuerte. Como en todo, el poder y tener mejores habilidades es algo adictivo por lo que Jinwoo no descansará hasta ser el mejor.
The first thing I want to talk about, as always, is the animation. This anime is produced by A-1 Pictures, one of the top studios out there, we have already talked about it here. Everything that has to do with the visuals is excellent, the CGI and the powerful cinematics makes it extremely enjoyable to watch. This anime has some of the best fight sequences I've ever seen, the fluidity and speed that you see in the scenes are not comparable to almost any other. At the same time it is something very graphic, we see a lot of blood, violence; the surprise I got watching this was huge.
De lo primero que quiero hablar, es como siempre, de la animación. Este anime es producido por A-1 Pictures, de los estudios más top que existen, ya hemos hablado de él por acá. Todo lo que tiene que ver con lo visual es excelso, el CGI y las poderosas cinemáticas que tiene hace que sea extremadamente disfrutable ver esto. Este anime tiene de las mejores secuencias de pelea que he visto, la fluidez y rapidez que se ven en las escenas no son comparables con casi ningún otro. Al mismo tiempo es algo muy gráfico, vemos muchas sangre, violencia; la sorpresa que me llevé viendo esto fue mayúscula.
The plot is always on the rise because Jinwoo never rests, it is impossible to fall asleep or get bored watching this anime. Every mission he has to do in addition to the dungeons are full of pure action, it's all very dizzying. We also see the more human side, as there are guilds formed by hunters there are bad people and corruption so we will also see that side of the story, Jinwoo's motives which are purely family and self-improvement give more depth to the plot (his mom is sick, his sister is in college) and are the engines that move him. But there is also some intrigue because it is not known what or who is behind the management of his powers and abilities since he sees things that no one else perceives him so that mystery is in the air.
La trama siempre va en ascenso porque Jinwoo no descansa, es imposible que te duermas o aburras viendo este anime. Cada misión que tiene que hacer además de las mazmorras están llenas de acción pura, es muy vertiginoso todo. También vemos la parte más humana, al haber gremios que son los formados por cazadores hay gente mala y corrupción por lo que también veremos ese lado de la historia, los motivos de Jinwoo los cuales son netamente familiares y de superación propia le dan más profundidad a la trama (su mamá está enferma, su hermana está en la universidad) y son los motores que lo mueven a él. Pero también hay algo de intriga porque no se sabe qué o quién está detrás del manejo de sus poderes y habilidades ya que él ve cosas que nadie más le percibe por lo que ese misterio está en el aire.
And as for the characters, Jinwoo is a young man who has always been underestimated by the low of his power which has made him get tired of that situation and has decided to accept this new thing that is happening in his life in order to no longer depend on anyone and to have control of his own life. In the end it is a theme of overcoming, perhaps some resentment for all that he lived and well this uses it to push himself even being on the verge of death. In this first season I didn't feel anyone else's protagonism, the rest are secondary but they don't need much either. It is a very complete and well done story despite this.
Y en cuanto a los personajes pues Jinwoo es un joven quien siempre ha sido menospreciado por lo bajo de su poder lo que ha hecho que se canse de esa situación y haya decidido aceptar esto nuevo que le está pasando en su vida para así no depender más nadie y tener el control de su propia vida. Al final es un tema de superación, quizás algo de resentimiento por todo lo que vivió y bueno esto lo usa para impulsarse aún estando al borde de la muerte. En esta primera temporada no sentí protagonismo de nadie más, el resto son secundarios pero tampoco hacen mucha falta. Es una historia muy completa y bien hecha a pesar de esto.
An incredible anime, highly recommended, a plot that catches a lot and above all the animation which is of supreme quality. A single season of 12 chapters and with the second one about to be released. Watch it, it's worth it. Here is the trailer.
Un anime increíble, altamente recomendado, una trama que atrapa muchísimo y sobretodo la animación la cual es de una calidad suprema. Una sola temporada de 12 capítulos y con la segunda a las puertas de su estreno. Veanlo, vale mucho la pena. Les dejo el tráiler.

Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.

Bueno mi gente por hoy es todo, espero que les haya gustado.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well today, dear community of The Anime Realm, this time I am going to share with you my review of the anime Solo Leveling. To tell you the truth, when I saw that this anime was going to be released, I had my doubts... one hears so many things before the premieres that it's hard not to have mixed expectations, I saw what the premise was and honestly it didn't call my attention. I felt it was going to be more of the same and I was not at all familiar with the source material, but seeing the expectations that others had and analyzing some trailers, I decided to give it a chance... and I was surprised in a good way. Talking about the visuals, which for me is what stands out the most in this series, I found it a feast for the eyes. They really did a great job with the animation... every scene, every movement, every battle is developed with great detail... The colors are vibrant and I found them to be quite close to the original manhwa... something that is not easy to achieve.
The action sequences are fluid and extremely exciting, they kept me glued to the screen at all times and the backgrounds.. are simply spectacular. You can tell they put a lot of love and effort into each frame... The story, well, although it doesn't reinvent nor is it something completely original, I feel that in a way it is well executed, the story introduces us to Jin-Woo, a hunter of rank E, the lowest, in a world where there are portals to dungeons full of monsters. Jin-Woo is very weak, but he has a lot of determination and motivation to keep going, despite the dangers of being a hunter, it's interesting to see his progress and how he overcomes obstacles little by little.
I think this is one of the main reasons why it has attracted so many viewers, the leveling system that the protagonist gets is interesting and adds an element of role-playing that makes you want to keep watching this evolve. Also, the way this system is integrated into the world was interesting to me, this certainly is what for me holds all the viewers back, being like a role playing game, I feel like every time the protagonist levels up, it gives you that certain satisfaction that you would get from leveling up your own character.
Hola a todos, espero que se encuentren muy bien en el día de hoy, querida comunidad de The Anime Realm, en esta ocasión les voy a compartir mi reseña sobre el anime Solo Leveling. La verdad, cuando vi que este anime se iba a estrenar, tenía mis dudas.. uno escucha tantas cosas antes de los estrenos que es difícil no tener expectativas mixtas, yo veía cual era la premisa y sinceramente no me llamaba la atención. Sentía que iba a ser más de lo mismo y no estaba para nada familiarizado con el material de origen, pero viendo las expectativas que tenían los demás y analizando algunos trailers, decidí darle una oportunidad.. y me sorprendió de buena manera. Hablando del apartado visual, que para mí es lo que más destaca en esta serie, me pareció un festín para los ojos. En verdad se lucieron con la animación.. cada escena, cada movimiento, cada batalla está desarrollada con mucho detalle.. Los colores son vibrantes y me parecieron bastante bien a la manhwa original.. algo que no es fácil de lograr.
Las secuencias de acción son fluidas y sumamente emocionantes, me mantuvieron pegado a la pantalla en todo momento y los fondos.. son simplemente espectaculares. Se nota que han puesto mucho amor y esfuerzo en cada frame.. La historia, bueno, aunque no reinventa ni es algo completamente original, siento que de cierta manera está bien ejecutada, la historia nos presenta a Jin-Woo, un cazador de rango E, el más bajo, en un mundo donde existen portales a mazmorras llenas de monstruos. Jin-Woo es muy débil, pero tiene mucha determinación y motivación para seguir adelante, a pesar de los peligros que conlleva ser un cazador, es interesante ver su progreso y cómo va superando obstáculos poco a poco..
Creo que esta es una de las principales razones por la que ha atraído a tantos espectadores, el sistema de nivelación que obtiene el protagonista es interesante y añade un elemento de juego de rol que hace que quieras seguir viendo cómo esto evoluciona. Además, la forma en la que se integra este sistema en el mundo me pareció interesante, esto sin duda es lo que para mí retiene a todos los espectadores, ya que al ser como un juego de rol, siento que cada vez que el protagonista sube de nivel, te da esa cierta satisfacción que obtendrías al subir de nivel a tu propio personaje.
The secondary characters, although they could be more developed, fulfill their role and provide some variety or support in the story, I especially like how the different reactions to the protagonist are shown as his strength grows. The pace of the series seemed good to me... each episode leaves you wanting more, and the way in which some mysteries of this world and the power of the protagonist are revealed keeps a lot of interest, although there are moments of classic explanations a little complex, I feel that they are well integrated into the plot and do not feel heavy. The soundtrack also seems excellent to me... the themes are catchy and fit perfectly to each scene, whether it's action, tension or emotional moments, the opening seemed to me a great theme, which is very consistent with the emotion in terms of the story, it goes together perfectly.
Now, I feel that there were also some flaws that did not convince me at all, sometimes I felt that the anime fell into classic clichés of the Isekai or fantasy genre, although it handles them a little better than some other narratives, if I was told with some grimace. There are also moments where the pace drops a bit, especially in the transition episodes between, let's say, important chapters... it feels a bit out of place, although clearly it's normal to feel this because after showing a lot of unbridled action, obviously, when you stop the car, you feel that change of pace. Another thing that caught my attention is how you handle the certain controversy there was with the names, I'm glad you always respected the original ones... It's refreshing to see a much different story than the classic Japanese works.
Los personajes secundarios, aunque podrían estar más desarrollados, cumplen con su función y aportan cierta variedad o apoyo en la historia, me gusta especialmente cómo se muestran las diferentes reacciones hacia el protagonista mientras va creciendo su fuerza. El ritmo de la serie me pareció bueno.. cada episodio te deja con ganas de más, y la forma en la que se van revelando algunos misterios de este mundo y el poder del protagonista mantiene mucho el interés, aunque hay momentos de clásicas explicaciones un poco complejas, siento que están bien integradas en la trama y no se sienten pesadas. La banda sonora también me parece excelente.. los temas son pegadizos y se ajustan perfectamente a cada escena, ya sea de acción, tensión o momentos emotivos, el opening me pareció un temazo, que está muy acorde con la emoción en cuanto a la historia, va junta perfectamente.
Ahora, siento que también hubo algunos fallos que no me convencieron del todo, a veces sentí que el anime cayó en clásicos clichés del género Isekai o de fantasía, aunque los maneja un poco mejor que algunas otras narrativas, si me dijeron con alguna mueca. También hay momentos en las que el ritmo decae un poco, especialmente en los episodios de transición entre, por decirte, capítulos importantes.. se siente un poco fuera de lugar, aunque claramente es normal sentir esto porque luego de mostrar mucha acción desenfrenada, obviamente, al parar el carro, sientes ese cambio de ritmo. Otra cosa que me llamó la atención es cómo se maneja la cierta controversia que hubo con los nombres, me alegra que siempre respetaran los originales.. Es refrescante ver una historia mucho más diferente a las clásicas obras japonesas.
Another thing I felt is that they didn't give enough importance or relevance to the female characters... they present us with some that could be strong, but they never end up embedding themselves in the story. And the female characters that we see in the main story, like the main character's sister or her childhood friend, fall into stereotypes that I didn't like at all... I hope this will improve considerably in the second season, since we are given small hints that there are quite powerful female characters... but well, I would have liked to see them in this season, it's a shame. Well, as I was saying, the main focus of this series is on Jin-Woo and his evolution... I think this is what is best achieved.
One of the things I liked the most is how expectations are managed, there are moments where you think you know what is going to happen and you end up surprised... this keeps the story a bit fresh in those specific episodes and they can get you excited. The world we are presented with gives for a lot of story, as I say, I have not seen the manhwa, but the little I have seen and the idea of the dungeons I think they give rise to a series of events or implications for society that are well thought out... a way to combine the fantastic with the “realistic”, so to speak, in a unique way and I hope it ends up exploring much better... it certainly leaves you wanting to know more.
I think it's an anime that manages to exceed many expectations, it takes familiar elements of the genre and executes them very masterfully.. it gives you an impressive visual experience and a story that may not be the most original of them all, but it sure manages to grab many. Obviously, it has flaws, but I think the good things win out over these flaws.
Otra cosa que sentí es que no le dieron la suficiente importancia o relevancia a los personajes femeninos.. nos presentan algunos que podrían ser fuertes, pero nunca se terminan de incrustar en la historia. Y los personajes femeninos que vemos dentro de la historia principal, como la hermana del protagonista o su amiga de la infancia, caen en estereotipos que no me terminaron de agradar del todo.. espero que esto mejore considerablemente en la segunda temporada, ya que se nos dan pequeñas pistas de que hay personajes femeninos bastante poderosos.. pero bueno, me fuera gustado verlas en esta temporada, es una lástima. Bueno, como les decía, el foco principal de esta serie está enfocado en Jin-Woo y su evolución.. creo que esto es lo que está mejor logrado.
Una de las cosas que más me gustaron es cómo se manejan las expectativas, hay momentos en los que crees que sabes lo que va a pasar y terminas sorprendido.. esto mantiene la historia un poco fresca en esos episodios específicos y pueden emocionarte. El mundo que nos presentan da para mucha historia, como les digo, no he visto el manhwa, pero lo poco que he visto y la idea de las mazmorras opino que dan pie a una serie de acontecimientos o implicaciones para la sociedad que están bien pensadas.. una manera de combinar lo fantástico con lo "realista", por así decirlo, de una manera única y que espero se termine de explorar mucho mejor.. sin duda te deja con ganas de saber más.
Creo que es un anime que logra superar muchas expectativas, toma elementos familiares del género y los ejecuta con mucha maestría.. te ofrece una experiencia visual impresionante y una historia que tal vez no sea la más original de todas, pero que seguro logra atrapar a muchos. Obviamente, tiene fallos, pero creo que las cosas buenas le ganan a estos fallos.
If I had to give this series a rating, I would give it an 8.5 out of 10... it is an anime that I would definitely recommend to fans of the fantasy and action genre who are looking for something exciting.... It surely manages to hook many viewers, I think the first episode is the best of all and keeps you wanting to know more and more until the end. I feel that this series can shine a light of its own in the saturated world of isekai or fantasy stories. It has that unique touch that, if done right, can go a long way, if you haven't seen it yet, do so... you're in for a story of self-improvement, incredible action and a fascinating world that you won't want to leave. And if you've already seen it, let me know what you thought, are you hooked or not convinced? Either way, I think we can all agree that, if this is how manhwa adaptations are going to continue to be, I hope there will be more and more... and well, that's all... I'll leave the opening below. And I'll see you in the next reviews. Take care of yourselves. Bye bye.
Si tuviera que darle una calificación a esta serie, le daría un 8.5 de 10.. es un anime que sin duda recomendaría a los fanáticos del género de fantasía y acción que buscan algo emocionante.. Seguramente logra enganchar a muchos espectadores, creo que el primer episodio es el mejor de todos y te mantiene queriendo saber más y más hasta el final. Siento que esta serie puede brillar con una luz propia en el saturado mundo de historias isekai o de fantasía. Tiene ese toque único que, si se hace bien, puede llegar muy lejos, si aún no lo han visto, háganlo.. se van a encontrar con una historia de superación personal, una acción increíble y un mundo fascinante que no van a querer dejar. Y si ya lo vieron, cuéntenme qué les pareció. ¿Están enganchados o no les ha terminado de convencer? Sea como sea, creo que todos podemos estar de acuerdo que, si así van a seguir siendo las adaptaciones de manhwas, espero que sigan habiendo más y más.. y bueno, eso sería todo.. les dejo el opening por aquí abajo. Y nos vemos en las próximas reseñas. Cuídense mucho. Bye bye.

›I'm Psyched For Solo Leveling Season 2@youloseagain667d
Solo Leveling was first published back in 2018 as a Webtoon series. Later it was adapted into an Anime series which was released in January 2024. Both releases created a storm and with so many eager watchers and readers, this reached a very wide audience.
With season 2 looking to be released towards the end of this year, I am way too excited for it.
Humanity was caught out over a decade ago when portals started opening up. These portals are known as 'Gates' which hunters try to finish to close them. These gates are linked to another dimension full of monsters who are immune to conventional weapons such as guns.
With the gates appearances this created the hunters, who were blessed with a range of superhuman abilities.
As you would imagine, groups of hunters sprung up and Guild's were formed. This allowed the hunters access to impressive items and money along with working with other higher ranked hunters.
The story starts with Sung Jin-Woo. He is an E-rank hunter, who are known as the weakest hunters in the world.
Jin-Woo joins a dungeon team that are exploring a dungeon that is meant to be very safe and easy to complete. On their journey they find a strange looking tunnel, with the hope of finding some more treasure, the group decide to press on.
This leads them to a room of horrors and unimaginable trauma for the whole team.
This was easily my favourite part of the whole series as it was brutal on a level I hadn't seen since the end of Tokyo Ghoul season 1.
Jin-Woo manages to survive and is able to access a level up system that only he can see. This is where the real fun begins. The system gives him impressive skills, but all this comes at a price!
I really hope season 2 drops soon, me and the missus can't wait to finish it!
I haven't read the Manhwa yet as I have started the Anime and want to finish that before I start reading it.
Hello anime lovers. Today I want to talk to you about one of the best anime series of the fantasy and action genre that have been broadcasted at the beginning of this year, besides being one of the most popular and controversial to date. A work that many will have already seen, heard or read before, but on this occasion I will give you my most sincere opinion of a work as expected as this one. Based on the web novel (Manhwa) written by Chugong, this animated adaptation was produced by the famous studio A-21 Pictures. Being the first anime adaptation of a famous Webtoon I have ever seen in my life, I must admit that it is a work worth watching and enjoying, although I still suggest you to stay until the end and know what I think about it. The anime can be found in full and available on the Crunchyroll platform.
SPANISH VERSION
Hola amantes del anime. El día de hoy les quiero hablar acerca de una de las mejores series animadas del género de fantasía y acción que se han emitido a principios de este año, además de ser de las más populares y polémicas de la fecha. Una obra que ya muchos habrán visto, escuchado o leído antes, pero que en esta ocasión les daré mi más sincera opinión de una obra tan esperada como esta. Basada en la novela web (Manhwa) escrita por Chugong, esta adaptación animada fue producida por el famoso estudio A-21 Pictures. Siendo la primera adaptación al anime de un Webtoon famoso que he visto en mi vida, debo admitir que es una obra que vale la pena ver y disfrutar, aunque igualmente te sugiero que te quedes hasta el final y conozcas lo que pienso al respecto. El anime lo puedes encontrar completo y disponible en la plataforma de Crunchyroll.
The anime takes us to a world where strange portals have suddenly appeared in certain areas that take those who approach to places called Dungeons where all kinds of dangerous monsters inhabit. Since then, certain humans with unique abilities called "Hunters" have appeared and are hired to explore these dungeons to protect humanity from unprecedented annihilation. This has become part of human survival, as well as a way of living and earning money, with organizations and groups of professional hunters. Among them all is our protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, who is an E-ranked hunter who is popularly known as "the Weakest Hunter", since in almost every exploration he has gone on he always ends up badly wounded or on the verge of death.
One day, in a common exploration with a group of hunters, our protagonist goes on an adventure to a new dungeon, which to everyone's bad luck ends up being an incredibly powerful double dungeon. In it, almost all the members die, leaving only a few, among whom is Sung Jinwoo, who is abandoned by four other survivors at his request to serve as a decoy. Faced with monsters in the form of giant statues of knights, possessed and invincible, our protagonist is decapitated, after suffering a terrible and humiliating beating that leaves him without an arm and a leg. Suddenly, when it seems that he is about to die, he suddenly wakes up in the hospital and learns that he has miraculously survived the dangerous double dungeon, as well as being intact and as if nothing had happened to him. Although, a voice in his mind sounds and calling himself "System" screens appear that only he can see with statistics and data, as if he were in a video game.

Trama
El anime nos traslada a un mundo donde de repente han aparecido extraños portales en ciertas zonas que trasladan a los que se acercan a unos lugares llamados Mazmorras donde habitan todo tipo de monstruos peligrosos. Desde entonces han aparecido ciertos humanos con habilidades únicas que llaman “Cazadores”, los cuales son contratados para explorar estas Mazmorras y así proteger a la humanidad de una aniquilación sin precedentes. Esto se ha vuelto parte de la supervivencia humana, además de convertirse en una forma de vivir y ganar dinero, con organizaciones y grupos de cazadores profesionales. Entre todos se encuentra nuestro protagonista, Sung Jinwoo, quien es un cazador de rango E que es popularmente conocido como “el Cazador más Débil”, ya que en casi todas las exploraciones en las que ha ido siempre termina muy mal herido o al borde de la muerte.
Un día, en una exploración común con un grupo de cazadores, nuestro protagonista va en la aventura de una nueva mazmorra, la cual para mala suerte de todos termina siendo una mazmorra doble increíblemente poderosa. En ella, casi todos los miembros mueren, quedando solo unos cuantos, entre los cuales está Sung Jinwoo, quien es abandonado por otros cuatro sobrevivientes a su petición para servir como señuelo. Frente a monstruos en forma de estatuas gigantes de caballeros, poseídos e invencibles, nuestro protagonista es decapitado, después de sufrir una terrible y humillante paliza que lo deja sin un brazo y sin una pierna. De pronto, cuando parece que está a punto de morir, despierta de repente en el hospital enterándose de que ha sobrevivido de manera milagrosa a la peligrosa mazmorra doble, además de estar intacto y como si nada le hubiera pasado. Aunque, una voz en su mente suena y llamándose “Sistema” aparecen pantallas que solo él puede ver con estadísticas y datos, como si estuviera en un videojuego.
Trailer & Review
Next, I will leave you the trailer of the anime:
It's funny how popular this anime became at the time, being one of the most anticipated animated adaptations of a popular Webtoon or Manhwa, as far as I know. But unfortunately the criticism it received when it aired and the way it was forgotten nowadays is something I personally don't see the point of. Yes, I admit that having seen it on air (as I did with all the anime I always bring you) it gave me that impression of being the typical fantasy story of the invincible hero who fights monsters and gets a "Harem". At the beginning the main character, as well as the supporting characters, gave me a feeling of being a simple copy of the typical protagonist. Nothing original, in the theme of the fantasy and action genre. But if we talk about the animation theme then I can give it a well-deserved 10/10 (only in the animation, I repeat), besides the way they always leave you with the excitement in the skies at the end of each chapter with incredible battles.
SPANISH VERSION
Es curioso lo popular que llegó a ser este anime en su momento, siendo una de las adaptaciones animadas más esperadas de un Webtoon o Manhwa popular, que yo sepa. Pero lamentablemente la crítica que recibió cuando se emitió y la forma en la que fue olvidada actualmente es algo que personalmente no le veo sentido. Si, admito que al haberla visto en emisión (como hice con todos los animes que les traigo siempre) me dió esa impresión de ser la típica historia de fantasía del héroe invencible que lucha con monstruos y consigue un “Harem”. Al principio el personaje principal, al igual que los secundarios, me dieron una sensación de ser una simple copia del típico protagonista de siempre. Nada original, en el tema del género de fantasía y de acción. Pero si hablamos del tema de animación entonces le puedo dar un merecido 10/10 (solo en la animación, repito), además de la forma en la que te dejan siempre con la emoción en los cielos al final de cada capítulo con batallas increíbles.
Let's start talking about the main character, Sung Jinwoo, who is presented from the beginning as the typical low-class hunter or adventurer, the weakest of all (cliché) who is confronted out of nowhere with a double invincible dungeon and who by miracle - or script, rather - survives, thus receiving an ability that makes him level up and get other skills, that is, he becomes "cheat" out of nowhere (also cliché). This one, having always been a weakling but never having given up, decides to take advantage of his second chance to level up and defeat more monsters while trying to go unnoticed without standing out so much, things he does not achieve since he always ends up saving someone's life from an enemy or a hunter or dangerous group (another cliché, really). As we can see, this protagonist is a simple cliché, in my opinion, who only stands out for working hard to level up and risk his life with every challenge and battle he has.
I won't say anything about the rest of the characters, as they are the typical secondary characters that are only there to fill in for all the generic action and fantasy anime. On the narrative side we also see a curious way of telling us a story with a single point of view (the protagonist's, obviously) where we can gradually learn how dungeons work in this modern world full of hunters. Although in the first chapters we notice a very slow start, personally, with our protagonist starting from scratch, practically, with getting to level up and how the "System" he has now helps him to fulfill missions or tasks to improve and become stronger; it is not until the middle or even at the end that we see the real action that everyone expects from this kind of anime. Other than that, the way our protagonist and the story unfolds can become interesting at first.
SPANISH VERSION
Empecemos hablando del protagonista, Sung Jinwoo, quien nos lo presenta desde el principio como el típico cazador o aventurero de clase baja, el más débil de todos (cliché) que se enfrenta de la nada con una mazmorra doble e invencible y que por milagro - o guión, mejor dicho - sobrevive recibiendo así una habilidad que lo hace subir de nivel y conseguir otras habilidades, o sea, se vuelve “chetado” de la nada (cliché también). Este, por haber sido siempre un debilucho pero nunca haberse rendido, decide aprovechar su segunda oportunidad para subir de nivel y conseguir vencer a más monstruos mientras intenta pasar desapercibido sin destacar tanto, cosas que no consigue ya que siempre termina salvándole la vida a alguien de un enemigo o un cazador o grupo peligroso (otro cliché, la verdad). Como vemos, este protagonista es un simple cliché, a mí parecer, que solo se destaca por trabajar duro en subir de nivel y arriesgar la vida con cada desafío y batalla que tiene.
De los demás personajes no diré nada ya que tampoco es que se tenga mucho de qué hablar al ser los típicos personajes secundarios que están solo para hacer relleno en todos los animes genéricos de acción y fantasía. En el lado narrativo vemos también una forma curiosa de contarnos una historia con un solo punto de vista (el del protagonista, obviamente) donde podemos conocer poco a poco cómo funcionan las mazmorras en este mundo moderno repleto de cazadores. Si bien en los primeros capítulos notamos un inicio muy lento, en lo personal, con nuestro protagonista empezando desde cero, prácticamente, con conseguir subir de nivel y cómo el “Sistema” que tiene ahora le ayuda a cumplir con misiones o tareas para mejorar y volverse más fuerte; no es sino a la mitad o incluso al final que vemos la acción de verdad que todo el mundo espera de este tipo de animes. Aparte de esto, la forma en la que nuestro protagonista y la historia se desarrolla puede llegar a ser interesante al principio.
On the other hand, when it comes to action, battles, fantasy and drama, this anime has everything that any fan of these things wants to see. With a very good high quality animation that shows us the excellent work that the famous studio A-21 Pictures can offer us, this story contains an excellent amount of battles with action sequences and a drawing and animation style that is quite catching. Along with this we can also enjoy good sound effects, some simulating a real life video game with dungeons and powerful monsters, and an excellently done soundtrack. Although, as I said before, the action starts a little late, this is worth it since it has very good battles at the end. All in all, an anime that obviously I don't consider it the best of its genre, but it does have everything you need to watch it.
Personally, I give it a 9/10 rating as far as the fantasy/action genre is concerned.
SPANISH VERSION
Por otro lado, cuando hablamos de acción, batallas, fantasía y drama, este anime tiene todo lo que cualquier fanático de estas cosas desea ver. Con una muy buena animación de alta calidad que nos muestra el excelente trabajo que nos puede llegar a ofrecer el famoso estudio A-21 Pictures, esta historia contiene una excelente cantidad de batallas con secuencias de acción y un estilo de dibujo y animación que atrapa bastante. Junto con esto también podemos disfrutar de buenos efectos de sonido, algunos simulando ser un videojuego en la vida real con mazmorras y monstruos poderosos, y una banda sonora excelentemente hecha. Si bien, como dije antes, la acción inicia un poco tarde, esto vale la pena ya que tiene muy buenas batallas al final. En fin, un anime que obviamente no lo considero el mejor de todos de su género, pero que sí tiene todo lo que se necesita para verlo.
Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 9/10 en lo que respecta al género de fantasía y acción.
Tell me, have you already seen this anime, what did you think? You can leave me your answer in the comments.

Hey there, Hive!✨
There has been a lot of talk about this anime, which really deserves all the good reputation it has gained. It has been a long time since I saw an animated story that had few to no flaws and of course, one that came from a relatively different format, that is, a Manhwa.
In this post I want to talk about the anime that I was able to watch in a marathon (something that is almost never possible for me) because, simply, giving out my opinion right away, it is incredible
Warning! This review has spoilers
Synopsis
The world as we knew it changed since the appearance of the portals, a strange phenomenon that brought with it terrible monsters that threatened the well-being of humanity. This in turn caused a change in certain people, since some humans "awakened" with magical abilities that allow them to fight these new enemies.
Thus, human society underwent a huge change, turning these special people into hunters and reestablishing the foundations of their governments and the economy around their noble work.
Sung Jinwoo is a young and inexperienced hunter who is also known as the weakest in the whole world. He tries to carry out his work and survive but the truth is that each time he is saved by miracle. In one of their resounding incursions into the dungeons, those places where the portals takes you, they discover an incredibly powerful enemy that kills most of the team and almost kills Jinwoo.
He is saved, but when he wakes up again he discovers that he must play the rules of a new game...
The inspiration for the world of this story is clearly RPG video games, where the player takes on a role in which he must complete certain missions, having of course skills exclusive to his role or class. In the story of Solo Leveling there are different classes, or in this case, guilds: mages, tanks, healers, etc., all with special powers that allow them to fight by playing a certain role.
Since each one has a different role, the raid teams are made up of hunters of different classes but also of different ranks, since they go from the lowest (rank E), as is the case of the protagonist at the beginning, to the highest (rank S). However, in this story it is not simply a copy of the RPG system, but they included details that are quite important for the plot to make sense.
Well, in this world, each hunter is assigned a guild and a rank according to his mana level, and once he does so he can never level up. This is completely different from what is usual in video games where as you improve you increase the level, but it is necessary to justify what makes the protagonist special, he can level up.
At first I thought that this would be the typical story of the hero's path, one more Naruto who goes from being a weakling to being the strongest of all, but another of the successful details of this story is that as he improves he loses emotions, that is, he loses his humanity, slowly becoming a simple tool of the System.
There they add a deeper psychological background that makes the character interesting. Certain questions arise when seeing how his progressive change becomes more and more noticeable, such as: "What happens if you lose your humanity? What would you be willing to give up to become stronger? What happens when you are stronger than everyone else? And above all, why would you want so much power?"...
There are also other aspects such as weakness, justice, nobility, resentment, trauma, which make the protagonist have a complex personality and his story is more than just "wanting to be the best." But those are details that are better to see for yourself.
I think that at the level of story and animation both are comparable, being able to do truly incredible and memorable things, perfectly crafted.
But in this case, I think that Solo Leveling stands out in the design and development of characters. The psychology behind the protagonist is deeper despite following the overused stereotype of the hero. I have not read the Manhwa so I do not know if this changes at some point (surely it does), however, as far as the anime goes Jinwoo is more of a realistic hero, the perfect example of what would happen if a person who does not stand out in absolutely anything suddenly acquires immeasurable power. It will not make a perfect transition, on the contrary, it would pose too many moral dilemmas.
In addition, obviously with strength came his physical changes, but even in the aesthetic design of the character they took care that the changes did not make him completely unrecognizable. He is still the same, only better. I think that in that development they were much better than those of many mangas, setting an example to follow in that because a change does not have to be exaggerated for it to be noticeable, and that the characters can have a deep background without being boring.
Something that they also did brilliantly was the endings of each episode. They always left you on a cliffhanger, a suspenseful ending that leaves you wondering what happened or will happen. This is a narrative resource that I think is infallible to maintain the interest of the viewer, which is why they are very likely to stay binge watching the series just out of curiosity, as was the case with me. This is a resource that should be used more often in this type of stories in anime.
Despite being an excellent story like everything in this world, it has certain details that could have been better. For me, the rest of the characters could have been given more relevance, especially the S-rank hunters. There are a lot of other stories that seem just as interesting as Jinwoo's, and while his protagonism cannot be taken away (it wouldn't make sense), a little more screen time could have been dedicated to explaining other stories that only made it clear that they have some relevance because they are there.
Also, the fact that Jinwoo doesn't stop leveling up can be counterproductive because he becomes a character like Satoru Gojo, for example, that is, a kind of untouchable God who is too superior to the rest, so at some point the battles could become predictable, boring and/or meaningless. I insist, I haven't read the Manhwa, but this can lead to those negative aspects if it is not worked on properly. They have to include some kind of weakness or even stop the constant leveling up.
Although I am aware that this is only the first season, they are creating the foundations for the most important part of the work, so we have to wait to see what they will do in the next season, which luckily has already been confirmed.
Overall, the flaws are minimal compared to everything this anime did right. It's interesting, entertaining, and different from what we're used to. It has an excellent development and a story with many details that show how well constructed it is.
So I totally recommend watching it, it's totally worth it and you surely love it.

¡Hola, Hive!✨
Mucho se ha hablado de este anime que realmente se merece toda la buena fama que ha adquirido. Desde hace bastante tiempo no veía una historia de animación que tuviera pocos o nulos defectos y por supuesto, que fuera una que proviniera de un formato relativamente distinto, es decir, un Manhwa.
En este post quiero hablar del anime que pude ver en maratón (cosa que casi nunca es posible para mí) porque simplemente, adelantando mi reseña de una vez, es increíble
¡Ojo! Esta reseña tiene spoilers
Sinopsis
El mundo como lo conocíamos cambió desde la aparición de los portales, un extraño fenómeno que trajo consigo monstruos terribles que amenazaban el bienestar de la humanidad. Esto a su vez provocó un cambió en ciertas personas, puesto que algunos humanos «despertaron» con habilidades mágicas que les permiten combatir a estos nuevos enemigos.
Así la sociedad humana tuvo un cambio enorme, convirtiendo a esas personas especiales en cazadores y estableciendo de nuevo las bases de sus gobiernos y la economía entorno a su noble labor.
Sung Jinwoo es un jóven e inexperto cazador que además es conocido como el más débil del mundo. Él intenta llevar a cabo su trabajo y sobrevivir pero lo cierto es que cada vez se salva de milagro. En una de sus estrepitosas incursiones en las mazmorras, esos sitios a donde llevan los portales, descubren un enemigo increíblemente poderoso que acaba con la mayoría del equipo y por muy poco no acaba con Jinwoo.
Se salva, pero al despertar otra vez descubre que debe jugar las reglas de un nuevo juego...
La inspiración del mundo de esta historia es claramente los videojuegos RPG, donde el jugador asume un rol por el cual debe cumplir determinadas misiones, teniendo por supuesto habilidades exclusivas de su rol o clase. En la historia de Solo Leveling hay diferentes clases, o en este caso, gremios: magos, tanques, sanadores, etc, todos con poderes especiales que les permite combatir haciendo determinado papel.
Al tener cada uno un rol diferente, los equipos de incursiones son conformados por cazadores de diferentes clases pero también de diferentes rangos, pues van de lo más bajo (rango E), como es el caso del protagonista en un principio, a lo más alto (rango S). Pero, en esta historia no es simplemente una copia del sistema RPG, sino que incluyeron detalles que para que pueda tener sentido la trama son bastante importantes.
Pues en este mundo, a cada cazador se le asignan su gremio y rango según su nivel de maná, y una vez hecho nunca podrá subir de nivel. Esto es completamente diferente a lo usual en los videojuegos donde a medida que mejoras aumentas el nivel, pero es necesario para justificar lo que hace especial al protagonista, él sí puede subir de nivel.
Al principio pensé que por esto sería la típica historia del camino del héroe, un Naruto más que pasa de ser un enclenque a ser el más fuerte de todos, pero otro de los detalles acertados de esta historia es que a medida que mejora va perdiendo emociones, es decir, pierde su humanidad, convirtiéndose lentamente es simplemente una herramienta del Sistema.
Allí agregan un trasfondo psicológico más profundo que hace interesante al personaje. Surgen ciertas preguntas al ver cómo su cambio progresivo se hace cada vez más notorio, como: «¿Qué pasa si pierdes tu humanidad? ¿Qué estarías dispuesto a dar para hacerte más fuerte? ¿Qué ocurre cuando eres más fuerte que todos los demás?, y sobretodo, ¿por qué desear tanto poder?»
También hay otros aspectos como la debilidad, justicia, nobleza, resentimiento, trauma, que hacen que el protagonista tenga una personalidad compleja y su historia sea más que solo «querer ser el mejor». Pero esos son detalles que son mejor ver por ti mismo.
Creo que a nivel de historia y animación ambos son equiparables, pudiendo hacer cosas verdaderamente increíbles y memorables, perfectamente elaborados.
Pero en este caso, considero que Solo Leveling destaca en el diseño y desarrollo de personajes. La psicología detrás del protagonista es más profunda a pesar de seguir el tan usado estereotipo del héroe. No he leído el Manhwa por lo que desconozco si esto en algún punto cambia (seguramente sí), sin embargo, hasta donde llevan el anime Jinwoo es un héroe más realista, el prefecto ejemplo de qué pasaría si una persona que no destaca en absolutamente nada de repente adquiere un poder inmensurable. No hará una transición perfecta, por el contrario, supondría demasiados dilemas morales.
Además evidentemente que con la fuerza venían sus cambios físicos, pero incluso en el diseño estético del personaje cuidaron que los cambios no lo hicieran completamente irreconocible. Sigue siendo el mismo, solo que mejor. Creo que en ese desarrollo sí fueron mucho mejores que los de muchos mangas, dando un ejemplo a seguir en que no tiene porque exagerarse un cambio para que sea notorio, y que los personajes pueden tener un trasfondo profundo sin ser aburridos.
Algo que también hicieron de forma genial fueron los finales de cada episodio. Siempre te dejaban en un cliffhanger, es decir, un final en suspenso que te deja con la intriga de saber qué sucedió o sucederá. Este es un recurso narrativo creo que infalible para mantener el interés del espectador, por lo que es muy propenso a quedarse viendo la serie en maratón solo por curiosidad, tal como fue en mi caso. Este es un recurso que debería utilizarse más a menudo en este tipo de historias en el anime.
A pesar de ser una historia excelente como todo en este mundo, tiene ciertos detalles que pudieron ser mejor. Para mí se les pudo dar mayor relevancia al resto de personajes, sobretodo a los cazadores de rango S. Hay un montón de otras historias que parecen igual de interesantes que la de Jinwoo que sí bien no se le puede quitar su protagonismo (no tendría sentido), sí se pudo dedicar un poco más de tiempo en pantalla a explicar otras historias de las que solo quedó claro que algo de relevancia tienen porque están allí.
También el hecho de que Jinwoo no pare de subir de nivel puede llegar a ser contraproducente pues se convertía en un personaje como por ejemplo Satoru Gojo, es decir, una especie de Dios intocable que es demasiado superior al resto por lo que en algún punto las batallas podrían tornarse predecibles, aburridas y/o sin sentido. Insisto, no he leído el Manhwa, pero esto puede derivar en esos aspectos negativos si no se trabaja adecuadamente. Tienen que incluir algún tipo de debilidad o incluso, frenar la subida de nivel constante.
Aunque estoy consciente de que es apenas la primera temporada, están creando los cimientos de lo más importante de la obra, así que toca esperar qué harán en la siguiente temporada que por suerte ya está confirmada.
En general, los defectos son mínimos en comparación a todo lo que este anime hizo bien. Es interesante, entretenido y diferente al resto de lo que ya estamos acostumbrados. Tiene un desarrollo excelente y una historia con muchos detalles que demuestran lo bien construída que está.
Así que te recomiendo completamente verlo, vale muchísimo la pena y es casi seguro que te va a encantar.

“The same experiences can affect us in different ways”
It's been a while since I've shared with you my opinion about an anime, and not because I haven't watched more (I finish one and start another😂), it's just that I hadn't had the disposition to sit down and write a good post about it, especially when the anime deserves a good review. And is that Solo Leveling earned all my admiration, from the manhwa to the anime I found it a masterpiece, and if you haven't given it a chance yet, I hope this is the sign you needed to do it and go directly to watch it when you finish reading this post.
“Las mismas experiencias pueden afectarnos de formas diferentes”
Ha pasado bastante tiempo que no les comparto mi opinión sobre un anime, y no porque no haya visto más (termino uno y comienzo otro😂), es solo que no había tenido la disposición de sentarme y redactar un buen post sobre el tema, especialmente cuando el anime merece una buena reseña. Y es que Solo Leveling se ganó toda mi admiración, desde el manhwa hasta el anime me pareció una obra maestra, y si aún no le has dado una oportunidad, espero que este sea la señal que necesitabas para hacerlo e ir directamente a verlo cuando termines de leer esta publicación.
What is it about?
With a 4.9/5 rating on Crunchyroll, the Solo Leveling anime was released earlier this year, perfect for fans of video games, action and fantasy.
This story tells us that decades ago energy portals (corridors between our world and other dimensions) began to appear, whose interior, known as dungeons, are inhabited by beings and monsters of different forms. This immense energy radiated by the portals awakened a strange power in some humans, who would have greater strength, speed, intelligence and vitality, who would later be called hunters. These hunters are classified in order according to the amount of their magical power, from the highest to the lowest are: S, A, B, C, D and E. Once this power is “awakened”, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to increase and improve their magic level. And, in the same way, dungeons are ranked in the same order according to their own magic power (and danger)
Every time a group of hunters enters a dungeon it is known as a raid, whose main objective is to defeat the dungeon boss to make the dungeon disappear. These monsters must be defeated quickly, since after seven days the portal could open completely and the monsters could reach our world.
¿De qué trata?
Con una calificación de 4.9/5 en Crunchyroll, a principios de este año se estrenó el anime de Solo Leveling, perfecto para los amantes de videojuegos, acción y fantasía.
Esta historia nos narra que hace décadas comenzaron a aparecer portales de energía (pasillos entre nuestro mundo y otras dimensiones), cuyo interior, conocido como mazmorras, habitan seres y monstruos de diferentes formas. Esta inmensa energía que irradian los portales hizo despertar un extraño poder en algunos humanos, los cuales tendrían mayor fuerza, velocidad, inteligencia y vitalidad, que luego serían llamados cazadores. Dichos cazadores son clasificados en orden según la cantidad de su poder mágico, de mayor a menos son: S, A, B, C, D y E. Una vez que se "despierta" este poder, no importa cuánto se esfuercen, no podrán aumentar y mejorar su nivel de magia. Y, de igual manera, las mazmorras se clasifican según ese mismo orden de acuerdo a su propio poder mágico (y peligro)
Cada vez que un grupo de cazadores entra a una mazmorra se le conoce como incursión, cuyo principal objetivo es derrotar al jefe de la mazmorra para hacerla desaparecer. Se debe vencer a estos monstruos rápidamente, dado que después de siete días el portal podría abrirse por completo y los monstruos llegar a nuestro mundo.
Is it a video game? Well, no. It's the life of Sung Jin-woo, the protagonist of this story. Known as «the weakest hunter», he is a level E who is always on the verge of death in his raids, he doesn't have much strength or speed compared to other hunters, he is only a little above an ordinary human. However, he keeps risking his life, because he needs the money from these raids (paid by a government organization) to pay for the medical treatment of his comatose mother.
One day, the team where Sung works finds a 'double dungeon', that is, they defeated all the monsters of a low rank dungeon, but further inside they found the entrance of a second dungeon. What they did not know is that this was not of the same rank, on the contrary, it would be one of the strongest ever recorded, with beings of the same level. It would later become known as the Cartenon Temple, a dungeon with its own rules, and terrors that none of them could imagine. What chance of getting out alive could lesser D and E rank hunters have? Not many, really. And, as mentioned in the first seconds of the first chapter, this is where our protagonist “dies”.
¿Es un videojuego? Pues, no. Es la vida de Sung Jin-woo, el protagonista de esta historia. Conocido como «el cazador más débil», es un nivel E que siempre está al borde de la muerte en sus incursiones, no tiene mucha fuerza o velocidad en comparación a otros cazadores, solo está un poco por arriba de un humano ordinario. Sin embargo, se mantiene arriesgando su vida, debido a que necesita el dinero de estas incursiones (pagadas por una organización del gobierno) para costear el tratamiento médico de su madre en coma.
Un día, el equipo donde trabaja Sung encuentra una ‘doble mazmorra’, es decir, derrotaron todos los monstruos de una mazmorra de bajo rango, pero más adentro encontraron la entrada de una segunda mazmorra. Lo que no sabían es que esta no era del mismo rango, al contrario, sería una de las más fuertes que han sido registradas, con seres del mismo nivel. Posteriormente, se conocería como el Templo Cartenon, una mazmorra con sus propias reglas, y terrores que ninguno de ellos podría imaginarse. ¿Qué oportunidades de salir con vida podrían tener cazadores menores de rango D y E? No muchas, la verdad. Y, como lo mencionan en los primeros segundos del primer capítulo, aquí "muere" nuestro protagonista.
After «surviving» that level S dungeon, for very curious reasons that I won't mention so as not to make you a bigger spoiler, Sung starts to see “notifications”; a system that only he can notice, where he receives daily quests, special quests, messages, rewards and punishments. He also has an inventory, stats, buying or selling magic artifacts, just like a regular role-playing video game. You can even see the stats of your skills, and improve them as you level up... alone (“solo leveling”). An ability that no other hunter has.
The course of the story unfolds as if the protagonist were living inside a video game. A system that only he can see, which helps him to improve, and become an exceptional hunter as he progresses through different challenges that the “system” will give him. The main objective of everything is the development of the “player”. For each mission he performs, he will receive points that he can divide among the different skills he possesses, and also obtain other rewards. However, it can become a bit tedious, because you receive points easily and quickly, you notice the preference as Dumbledore with Gryffindor, and you realize that the development of Sung is not in a natural rhythm, there is a lot of emphasis to level up.
Ahora, ¿qué tiene que ver con los videojuegos?
Luego de «sobrevivir» a esa mazmorra de nivel S, por razones muy curiosas que no mencionaré para no hacerles un mayor spoiler, Sung comienza a ver “notificaciones”; un sistema que solo él puede notar, donde recibe misiones diarias, misiones especiales, mensajes, recompensas y castigos. También tiene un inventario, estadísticas, compra o venta de artefactos mágicos, tal cual como un videojuego de rol común. Incluso puede ver los stats de sus habilidades, e ir mejorando a medida que suba de nivel… solo (“solo leveling”). Una habilidad que ningún otro cazador tiene.
El transcurso de la historia se desarrolla como si el protagonista estuviera viviendo dentro un videojuego. Un sistema que solo él puede ver, que lo ayuda a mejorar, y convertirse en un cazador excepcional a medida que va avanzando en diferentes desafíos que le dará dicho “sistema”. El principal objetivo de todo es el desarrollo del “jugador”. Por cada misión que realice recibirá puntos que puede dividir entre las diferentes habilidades que posee, y también obtener otras recompensas. Sin embargo, puede llegar a ser un poco tedioso, porque recibe puntos de manera fácil y rápida, se nota la preferencia como Dumbledore con Gryffindor, y te das cuenta de que el desarrollo de Sung no es en un ritmo natural, hay mucho énfasis a que suba de nivel.
Solo Leveling is a story that was recommended to me by several people, but before watching the anime I read the manhwa (it's a Korean story), and I was totally fascinated, I don't know how to explain how much I loved it. The drawing, the design of each element, is incredibly well crafted. I quickly connected with the plot and the protagonist. And, little by little, it became an obsession, at the end of each chapter I was eager to know more.
At no time does it feel heavy, there is no filler, there is always a constant development, and in each chapter there is something new that keeps you tense and in expectation of what will happen next. You recognize that the protagonist is going to get the victory in every battle, but it's still arranged to make your hair stand on end, and also, get you excited about what you're seeing. And, in my opinion, I think the producers of the anime managed to capture that magic of manhwa; I felt that excitement again in the anime.
Solo Leveling es una historia que me recomendaron varias personas, pero antes de ver el anime leí el manhwa (es una historia coreana), y quedé totalmente fascinada, no sé cómo explicarles lo mucho que me encantó. El dibujo, el diseño de cada elemento, está increíblemente bien elaborado. Me conecté rápidamente con la trama y el protagonista. Y, poco a poco, se fue convirtiendo en una obsesión, al finalizar cada capítulo tenía las ansias de saber más.
En ningún momento se siente pesado, no hay relleno, siempre se presenta un constante desarrollo, y en cada capítulo hay algo nuevo que te mantiene tenso y en la expectativa de qué va a suceder a continuación. Reconoces que el protagonista va a conseguir la victoria en cada batalla, pero igual está arreglado para ponerte los pelos de punta, y además, emocionarte por lo que vas viendo. Y, desde mi opinión, creo que los productores del anime lograron capturar esa magia del manhwa; esa emoción la volví a sentir en el anime.
One detail that I personally like is the beginning of everything. That initial arc is one of my favorites, not only because of the well-designed context and plot it represents, but also because it gets you right into the story. There's no recap of the past, or slow opening chapters to get you acquainted with the protagonist, no, right off the bat, it starts with everything. It doesn't sugarcoat the story for you. And that motivated me to keep reading and watching, it gave me the idea that this is how everything would be, it wouldn't waste time or go off the rails, that everything would be concise and precise, and I love that.
The action scenes in both the manhwa and the anime are brilliant. They are bloody, strong, uncensored, but also very clever. Also, Sung is not a kind of hero. He's not evil, his intentions are usually good, but he has a very distinct outlook on life, which gives his character gray tones. He is not a Naruto or a Luffy, where everything is either good or bad, here he is what he is, you will see how you judge him.
¿Qué detalles destacaron?
Un detalle que, personalmente, me gusta, es el inicio de todo. Ese arco inicial es uno de mis favoritos, no solo por el bien diseño del contexto y la trama que representa, sino que además te entra directamente a la historia. No hay una recapitulación del pasado, o unos lentos capítulos de inicio para que conozcas al protagonista, no, de una vez, comienza con todo. No te endulza la historia. Y eso me motivó a continuar leyendo y viendo, me dio la idea de que así sería todo, no perdería tiempo ni se iría por las ramas, que todo sería conciso y preciso, y eso me encanta.
Las escenas de acción, tanto en el manhwa como en el anime, son brillantes. Son sangrientas, fuertes, sin censura, pero también muy inteligentes. Además, Sung no es una clase de héroe. No es malo, sus intenciones normalmente son buenas, pero tiene una visión de la vida muy marcada, lo que le da sus tonos grises al personaje. No es un Naruto o un Luffy, donde todo es bueno o malo, aquí es lo que es, tú verás como lo juzgas.
I like that Sung Jin-woo always keeps developing himself. And yes, maybe that's what the anime is about, but it's that his personal development is meaningful, it's motivating, he never backs down no matter the obstacle, he was afraid of everything, but he was looking for a way to keep going and not die trying.
Also, the soundtrack is a 10/10. Too good. It's the ideal rhythm and melody for each scene, it helps you connect with the right feelings according to what's happening, and your heart beats to the same rhythm of everything. And, obviously, its opening is one of those you can't skip.
Me gusta que Sung Jin-woo siempre se mantiene desarrollándose. Y sí, quizás de eso se trata el anime, pero es que su desarrollo personal es significativo, es motivador, nunca se echa para atrás sin importar el obstáculo, él le tenía miedo a todo, pero buscaba la manera de continuar y no morir en el intento.
Además, la banda sonora es un 10/10. Demasiado buena. Es el ritmo y melodía ideal para cada escena, te ayuda a conectar con las sensaciones correctas según lo que está sucediendo, y tu corazón late al mismo ritmo de todo. Y, obviamente, su opening es de esos que no puedes saltar.
In the anime I didn't like the idea of advancing scenes, story plots, introducing moments ahead of time, generating confusion. Probably, they did it with the intention of not making it feel so fast, or that there was no external context in the anime, but that's just the way the original story is. The title is “Solo Leveling”, everything is mainly focused on the protagonist, and I like the rhythm of the manhwa better where each element is introduced in its due time.
Returning to what I just said, the fact that the story is exclusively about a protagonist, may be a bit boring for some. Because it is true that the secondary characters are interesting, but they are not given as much relevance, and they clearly have no development, at least very minimal compared to Sung.
And finally, there are moments that happen too fast. There is a lot of information to assimilate, and several times, you are not given enough time or narrative to understand it briefly. Sometimes I had to read things twice, or replay the scene, to understand what was happening. It takes a lot of patience.
¿Qué puede mejorarse?
En el anime no me gustó la idea de adelantar escenas, tramas de la historia, introduciendo momentos antes de tiempo, generando confusión. Probablemente, lo hicieron con la intensión de que no se sintiera tan rápido, o que no había un contexto externo en el anime, pero es que así es la historia original. El título es "Solo Leveling", todo está centrado principalmente en el protagonista, y me gusta más el ritmo del manhwa en donde cada elemento se va introduciendo en su debido momento.
Retomando lo que acabo de decir, el hecho de que la historia sea exclusivamente acerca de un protagonista, puede que para algunos sea un poco aburrida. Porque es cierto que los personajes secundarios son interesantes, pero no se les da tanta relevancia, y claramente no tienen un desarrollo, al menos muy mínimo en comparación Sung.
Y, para finalizar, hay momentos que suceden demasiado rápido. Hay mucha información que asimilar, y varias veces, no te dan el tiempo suficiente o la narrativa necesaria para comprenderlo brevemente. En ocasiones tuve que leer las cosas dos veces, o volver a repetir la escena, para entender lo que sucedía. Es necesario mucha paciencia.
Something I learned from Sung Jin-woo, who spent most of his points on increasing the strength skill, is that when you work on your intelligence, mental agility, you become more powerful (something he understood already at the end😂).
Speaking more seriously, there are many highlights in this anime, which makes you understand its excellent Crunchy score and why audiences love and recommend it. It's a story that, for me, was original. It has its tense moments, but also funny and even a little sweet. Likewise, it's 12 chapters that leave you wanting more, and that, without any doubt, I recommend you go watch it now, if you haven't already✨
See you later!🩷
Algo que aprendí de Sung Jin-woo, quién gastaba la mayor parte de sus puntos en aumentar la habilidad de fuerza, es que cuando trabajas tu inteligencia, agilidad mental, te vuelves más poderoso (algo que comprendió ya al final😂)
Hablando con más seriedad, hay muchas cosas destacables en este anime, que te hace comprender su excelente puntuación en Crunchy y el porqué el público lo ama y recomienda. Es una historia que, para mí, fue original. Tiene sus momentos tensos, pero también divertidos e incluso un poquito dulces. Son 12 capítulos que te dejan deseando más, y que, sin ninguna duda, te recomiendo que vayas a verlos ahora, si aún no lo has hecho✨

As an avid fan of anime and MMORPGs, Solo Leveling quickly caught my attention with its immersive storyline and intricate world-building. It's no wonder this series has garnered so much hype since its launch. Watching it felt like diving into an epic fantasy game reminiscent of World of Warcraft or Lineage, complete with quests, raids, and an array of characters from healers and necromancers to tanks.
Solo Leveling follows the journey of Sung Jin-Woo, a seemingly weak E-rank hunter in a world where portals to dungeons open, unleashing dangerous monsters into our world. Hunters, individuals with special powers, are humanity’s only line of defense. Initially, Jin-Woo is considered the weakest hunter, barely surviving in the treacherous dungeons. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters a mysterious quest system that only he can see.
This system allows Jin-Woo to level up and gain incredible powers, akin to a player progressing through a game. The anime does a fantastic job of portraying his transformation from a feeble hunter to an unstoppable force, capturing the essence of growth and determination. The storyline is gripping, with each episode leaving you eager for more.
One of the strengths of Solo Leveling is its diverse cast of characters, each contributing to the story in meaningful ways. Jin-Woo's character development is central to the narrative, but the supporting characters also shine.
The anime also introduces various character classes reminiscent of MMORPGs, such as healers, tanks, and necromancers. This element not only makes the battles more strategic but also gives a nostalgic nod to gamers familiar with these roles.
The animation quality of Solo Leveling is top-notch, with stunning visuals and fluid action sequences. The dungeons and monsters are intricately designed, enhancing the immersive experience. The fight scenes are particularly impressive, showcasing Jin-Woo’s evolving abilities in a visually captivating manner. The anime does justice to the high-octane action and the dark, atmospheric settings described in the manhwa.
Solo Leveling is based on manhwa (Korean webtoon) of the same name. The manhwa’s artwork is exceptional, with detailed illustrations and dynamic paneling that bring the story to life. It’s no surprise that fans of the manhwa were eagerly anticipating the anime adaptation. The story, written by Chugong and illustrated by Jang Sung-rak (also known as Dubu), is engaging and well-paced, making it easy to devour chapter after chapter. The manhwa’s success undoubtedly set high expectations for the anime, which, in my opinion, it has met brilliantly.
What makes Solo Leveling stand out as my favorite among recent anime releases is its unique blend of fantasy and gaming elements. The concept of leveling up and gaining powers through a quest system is a refreshing twist, setting it apart from other typical fantasy stories. The anime captures the thrill of progression and the excitement of uncovering new abilities, much like playing an MMORPG.
›Reseña completa: Solo Leveling anime@nahueldare3627773d
Hola a todos, ¿cómo están?
Como muchos sabrán, soy una persona que ama ver animes, especialmente del género de magia y fantasía, donde abundan los combates y también hay toques de comedia. A menudo, estos animes presentan protagonistas que se vuelven increíblemente poderosos de la noche a la mañana. "Solo Leveling" no es una excepción a este gusto, ya que en el primer capítulo vemos que el protagonista es clasificado como el cazador más débil, pero luego, en los episodios siguientes, debe ocultar su verdadera fuerza para evitar problemas políticos.
Para comprender un poco la historia, primero debo presentarles el mundo de esta fantástica obra de arte. En Corea (el país donde se centra la serie), han comenzado a aparecer portales que permiten la entrada de innumerables monstruos a nuestro mundo. Las armas de la humanidad no les causan ningún daño; han intentado dispararles, incendiarlos e incluso explotarlos, pero nada ha funcionado. Sin embargo, hay una excepción. Al aparecer los portales, algunas personas desarrollaron habilidades especiales de la nada. Algunos pueden usar magia, otros tienen habilidades excepcionales con la espada, y algunos pueden ocultarse y atacar desde las sombras. A este fenómeno se le llama "Despertar", y se dice que una vez que alguien despierta, sus habilidades no pueden crecer más. Los atributos que se les otorgan no mejorarán. A estas personas se les conoce como "Cazadores" y se clasifican según la fuerza de sus nuevas habilidades y su utilidad en el campo de batalla. La clasificación va desde el rango SS (el más alto) hasta el rango E (el más bajo). Y justo en ese punto se encuentra nuestro protagonista, apodado por otros cazadores como "el arma más débil de la humanidad".
Hasta aquí, hemos cubierto la explicación básica antes de sumergirnos en la historia del protagonista. Ahora, comenzaré con algunos spoilers en el post. A pesar de saber que es extremadamente débil, nuestro protagonista se aventura en todos los portales posibles para intentar "trabajar" y obtener cristales u objetos de las mazmorras que se encuentran dentro. Cuando aparece un portal, los seres humanos tienen 7 días para entrar, explorar la mazmorra y derrotar al monstruo líder antes de que los monstruos salgan al mundo. Si logran cumplir esta tarea, el portal se cierra y no se puede volver a ingresar. El protagonista se ve obligado a buscar objetos en las mazmorras después de la muerte de su padre y debido a que su madre padece una extraña enfermedad, aparentemente incurable, que contrajo desde el día en que se abrieron los primeros portales.
En los primeros capítulos, el protagonista se ve envuelto en una mazmorra que aparentaba ser de nivel bajo, pero al afrontarla, se dieron cuenta de que no tenía un final común, sino que había una puerta hacia otra mazmorra. Llamaron a eso "una mazmorra doble" e impulsados por la falta de dinero, el grupo decidió entrar a esta segunda parte. Apenas pasaron la puerta, se encontraron con estatuas gigantes y al llegar al centro de una gran sala, las puertas se cerraron. El líder del grupo encontró un cartel con un acertijo y el protagonista logró ver que la estatua que ocupaba un trono movió los ojos y en un instante, rayos salieron de los ojos de la estatua y cocinaron a unas personas. Algunos se volvieron locos por el temor e intentaron salir, pero las estatuas gigantes se movieron y los mataron brutalmente.
Allí es donde yo digo que este tipo de series de dibujos animados no son para nada para niños. Gracias a un gran instinto de supervivencia y a la suerte (que nunca falta en este tipo de series), el protagonista logra sobrevivir aún cuando fue abandonado por los pocos sobrevivientes del grupo. Y esto es lo que hace que el sistema de mazmorras le otorgue un "regalo". Ya que al ser destrozado y estar a punto de morir, el tiempo de la mazmorra termina y el sistema le permitió subir de nivel, y eso significa que todas sus heridas se curan automáticamente (como en los viejos juegos RPG donde te la jugabas a que podías dar el último golpe antes de que el jefe te golpeara para subir de nivel).
Y esta es la base de la serie. El protagonista es el único cazador con la habilidad única de subir de nivel y al otorgar puntos a sus habilidades básicas como fuerza, agilidad o inteligencia, su cuerpo cambia y se va fortaleciendo. También fue dotado de una pantalla que solo él puede ver donde puede monitorear sus estadísticas, habilidades y demás. Y como si esto fuera poco, le dieron un inventario y una forma de vender de manera automática las cosas que consigue en la mazmorra. Claro, no debo olvidar que también es el único humano en recibir misiones del sistema, las misiones diarias que le piden ejercitarse de manera constante para mejorar sus estadísticas y recibir un premio (entre los que ha conseguido llaves para mazmorras únicas para él) y misiones del sistema que le piden eliminar cierto objetivo que a veces pueden ser otros seres humanos.
Esta es la reseña completa de Solo Leveling, serie que pueden encontrar en Crunchyroll en varios doblajes diferentes. Realmente es una apasionante obra que te inspira a mejorar y en cada capítulo despierta más ganas de ver los avances personales del protagonista y el despliegue de la historia tanto en política como en aventuras.
Hello everybody!. It's been a long time writing in this community. After what is called the longest exam I've done in my school (about 4 weeks), I'm finally able to take a rest and be back to writing posts in this community. I'm so happy to be back. I hope @ibet and my sensei @tegoshei didn't miss me too much.
Well throughout my exam, I was not involved with any anime (I mean any) as I was trying to make academic comeback and trying to cover every part of my books. But I read a lot of manga; I've completed a few of them, so till I get myself back together, I guess I'll be writing a lot about manhwas and mangas. So without much time, let's get right into it.
MANHWA REVIEW -- GOD GAME
The manhwa I'm introducing today is a comic book written by Brandon Chen known as GOD GAME. God Game is a kind of artificial game created by the gods just to entertain them. They do this by taking different people from different locations of the world, wiping their memories, giving them god's limited powers, and making them fight for their lives. As I said, all of this is to entertain them.
I get to know about this manhwa When I was surfing the internet, I normally watch anime, but I couldn't watch any because it was exam month. At that time, I was bored, so I had to improvise by checking for interesting books to read. As I saw it, I noticed that it's rating is okay, but not rated too highly like the likes of Solo Leveling, so I had to give it a go.
So, this manhwa starts with the main character, Reiyan Asura, lost, his memory is lost and he was bound in chains. At first, it seems like they're giving away little memories, but they're given a chance to fight for the remaining memories to be able to survive the rounds. In this Game, there are several rounds and with each round, the difficulty increases exponentially, especially with tough players.
For round 1, teams are given a minimum amount of time to fight and kill themselves, or else they will be eliminated (which means they will be killed). For someone who doesn't know what's going on, he was just trying to keep himself out of trouble, but he later noticed that he didn't have any choice but to fight and kill the other opponent, which he did. For each round, there are rules and changes in the game. So, as the game went on, he was able to slowly discover himself, was able to uncover his memories, and was able to uncover the secrets about the game.
Normally in this manhwa, there're different rounds where each person fights against each other, but at some point, the contestants are fighting god's, which made this manhwa really interesting. There's a different plot twist in this manhwa, which makes it more interesting and makes it on par with manhwas like solo leveling.
One of the gods Reiyan Asura and his team members fought was Wukong (the monkey king). This was one of the most interesting fights in the manga, as we see each and every one of them showcase their powers to their fullest, and as they fought to their limit, they were able to discover more about their powers to upgrade them. (These images are indeed quite long, as I found it difficult to screenshot; I tried my best, taking the best screenshots, though.).
After their fight with Wukong, we're introduced to other plots, why the god's was there in the first place, and what really happened in the game. The interesting part is that I was able to see different kinds of gods, like Thor, Wukong, and others.
One of the reasons I like this manhwa is because of it's creative drawing showing different god with their respective powers and it's intuitive coloring, showing the intensity of different fights as the story goes on, which is very pleasing to the eye. Another thing I like about this manhwa is that it's chapters are not too long. Though they're still releasing it, its chapters are still not up to 150, which makes it quite okay. Overall, the storyline is indeed amazing, and I hope that they can do the anime adaptation.
That brings me to the end of my post. I hope you enjoy it. It's so good to be back. I hope you missed me because I missed you too. I'll also be actively participating in every contest in this community from now on. So, see you in my next post.
All images are screenshotted from the manhwa, except where stated otherwise
Thank you for reading my post ❤️, I hope you enjoy it !!See you next time.
It all started when I decided to say nah,let me see what the whole fuzz is all about.
I just finished watching the final episode of the first season of Solo levelling and no, I'm not meant to be feeling so heartbroken today. Please make it stop! I've finally seen the one anime that'll make me start reading mangas. I don't like spoilers from people and I definitely would not like if i gave myself spoilers. I already read novels and comics and watch anime and movies,adding manga to the list right now will leave me with no space for much socialization with actual people. But that's alright! Because, for Solo levelling, yes I will! Or not. Might have to give myself time to rethink that.

Solo levelling alternatively translated as Only I can level up is an amazing anime that started airing sometime around January 2024, this year. The anime is based on a South Korean web novel by Chugong.
Let's talk about the plot of the anime. Sung Jinwoo, an E rank hunter also known as the weakest and lowest class of hunters gets faced with an extreme life threatening situation. He wakes up different, gaining extraordinary power with its source unknown to the public.
Source
That's a short plot. Honestly, there wasn't really much I could say without spoiling the story. Solo levelling is a really good anime with a simple storyline. I like the fact they made it so simple and genuine and interesting. I mean sometimes,you don't have to try so hard to make people like something. It's just an easy going anime, comfortable and can bring goosebumps to your skin. The fight scenes are amazing,whoever animated it did a lovely job.
SPOILER⚠️
Solo levelling definitely peaked at the last two to three episodes. The fight between Jinwoo and Igris was so good. It had my heart beating rapidly at one point cause what in the actual beauty was that!!?
Now, let's talk about the necromancer skill obtained in the final episode. What's your thought on it? At first,I thought nah,this might be a bad idea. But he has Igris under him and after he tried summoning him twice and he failed then he tried talking to him. It took everything within me to not scream my guts out and jump when Igris arised and bowed before him. Oh My God!
Normally,I do not like when something is overhyped. It spoils the feeling of the movie or anime for me and then I won't want to watch it cause too many people are talking about it and I don't want to be part of the 'too many people' but here I am,being part of them cause it's good! I can't see something good, something exquisite and not appreciate it. It deserves the hype! I'd rate the anime 8 out of 10! And I totally recommend it! Be cultered and watch Solo levelling today!
And Happy Easter guys!

›Solo Leveling: Is it worth to Read & Watch?@vinzie1838d
I know most of you heard this anime and I want to share my thoughts about this anime. I read the manga/manhwa on this anime not only 2 times but 7 times already. I've read manga before but this one is different from other anime because this is my first time reading a manga/manhwa that is colored maybe the author of this manhwa is not a Japanese but a Korean. I never thought that reading this on manga for one time is enough but you will become addicted once you get to read this because of the plot and also the uniqueness of this anime.
The protagonist started as a weak character where his stats are a little bit more than the average person. There are also people who aren't blessed enough to become a hunter. They say, becoming a hunter is a privileged because not all of the people have powers. It is selected to a few of them, you can get awakened anytime.
It's a slow paced anime where you will learn that the protagonist is slowly progressing from his level to the point where he will be strong enough to kill and destroy his enemies. It takes place in Korea and the protagonist became a hunter because becoming one can make you a fortune. There is also rankings from Rank E up until rank S, There are also different levels of dungeon from Grade E(that is the lowest and the easiest dungeon) to Grade S (the highest and dangerous dungeon) where you can enter that dungeon depends on your ranking. Of course you need a party in order to enter in a dungeon.

In the dungeon, there are different kinds of monsters and boss and also crystals that you can loot from it where you can get money out of the crystals. Monsters can drop crystals and sometimes it will drop items that may be useful like making a weapon or something like an armor from a blacksmith or even used it to make a company, a guild, or even to run a country.
Conclusion
If you are searching something new to read and to watch, maybe you can try this anime. The author is not from Japan but I tell you that this is one of the best anime it's even better than other Isekai anime. The genre of this anime is Isekai, manhwa, adventure, and action.
This is worth to read and watch because the protagonist is not a boring character.
›Impressions about Solo Leveling and its anime adaptation@musicandreview873d
I have been hearing about manhwas for many years, I know that they come from Korea and that they are basically a version of Japanese manga with the difference that they are usually in color, which certainly makes them quite distinctive since we are used to reading manga in black and white, hopefully we can see some color covers. I understand that many manhwas have achieved great fame and some have been animated, which is undoubtedly a symbol of success since the works are not very profitable usually remain on paper.
So far I haven't felt the need to watch them, maybe it's because of the little time I have available, but at the moment it's not a world I want to enter. However, there is one manhwa that I did see and it is obviously the one with the cover name, Solo Leveling. I got to this one thanks to a nephew who used to upload statuses to Whatsapp with referential images, but who really gave me the access to the chapters was a friend from work named Angelo.
I read Solo Leveling when it was still on the air, and to be frank, at first I didn't have much faith in it, but I must confess that the fact that the images were in color and with very good quality caught my attention. One of the reasons why I didn't really want to read this manhwa, is because I usually don't like this kind of stories since they tend to be predictable, however, there was something that caught my attention and I think it was the fact that the main character had a good development, something that nowadays is hard to see in conventional manga or anime.
To give you a bit of context about the story, Solo Leveling presents us with a world in which there are groups of hunters with physical and magical abilities, as well as special weapons. The job of these hunters is to enter through portals that open randomly in different parts of the city which lead to dungeons full of monsters, these must be defeated along with their boss to then extract the mana which has a monetary value. It is important to mention that each dungeon has a difficulty level and according to that the level of the hunters is taken into account, which range from E to S rank, there are also national level hunters.
The story focuses on Sung Jin-woo, an E-ranked hunter who, after entering a mysterious dungeon and facing fearsome monsters of clearly higher ranks than the group, awakens a kind of power that gives him the opportunity to train, fulfill missions and, along with that, level up as long as he fulfills those missions. Thus, our protagonist is immersed in different situations that gradually test his abilities, but beyond that, there are also interesting mysteries, charismatic characters and many adventures full of good action.
After reading the Solo Leveling manhwa, I was left with a pleasant impression of how the story was developed, it turned out to be interesting since the universe of hunters and monsters is quite large and that generated the opportunity to get some alternate stories that enriched the plot. I think the author knew how to handle in a good way the different mysteries that were revealed little by little and with a good conclusion.
The anime adaptation is currently being broadcast by A-1 Pictures, a studio that has animated stories such as Fairy Tail, Kuroshitsuji, Erased, among others. So far I have seen 6 chapters and I must say that I really liked it, I feel that the essence has been maintained at all times since the story has been respected practically in its entirety, maybe there are differences, but at the moment I am not able to grasp them. The animation in particular is quite acceptable and somehow makes me remember positively the good color drawing of the manhwa. The soundtrack is an aspect that at the moment has a debt, neither the opening nor the ending have caught my attention, they are quite insipid, but that is something that could improve with the following seasons.
If you have not yet seen Solo Leveling, I invite you to give it a chance, it may not have a revolutionary story, but I assure you that it is at least interesting.

Hello guys, this time I bring you the review of an anime that just premiered this year, its name is Solo Leveling is an action Manhwua shounen of Korean origin that has caused great impact by anime fans, then I leave them.
"What is Solo Leveling about? In the real world, portals start appearing that lead to more blackberries from various fantasy worlds. Humans gain powers and only they can defeat the monsters in the portals. The protagonist, Sung Jin-woo (성진우), is the weakest hunter in humanity and even the lowest level dungeons are deadly to him, but he still enters them with the intention of getting materials, selling them and thereby helping his family.
One day, Sung goes in a group to a low level dungeon and again, almost loses his life, but a friend heals him in time. When the group had apparently finished, it turns out that in the dungeon there was a second part, the group agrees and decide to continue, until they are trapped in a room full of stone giants.
These giants are extremely powerful for a low level dungeon and destroy several of the party in the blink of an eye, only a few survive and manage to escape. Sung Jin-woo himself barely survives and is the only one to complete all the trials in this dungeon, becoming a "player", now being able to see an interface that shows him quests, stats, inventory, stores and levels.
Well, that's all for the moment, it only remains for you to see it, enjoy it and comment on it, here I will continue to give you everything in terms of premieres and reviews of known and unknown anime, thanks for reading my post, I hope.

Hola amigos! Ya hoy es el primer día de septiembre y como tal ya cosas nuevas vendrán este mes, pero eso no quita que agosto nos dejo cosas buenas, en mi caso logre hacer muchos proyectos personales, pero también terminar varios mangas y animes, pero en esta ocasión no vengo a hablarles de ninguno de ellos, vengo a hablarles de un manhwa es decir un manga coreano para el que no sepa, y no de cualquier manhwa, EL PADRE DE LOS MANHWAS:
SOLO LEVELING
La verdad es que nunca había leído manhwas y le quise dar la oportunidad a Solo Leveling y me he llevado una gran sorpresa, he leído muchos mangas y lo primero que me causo una gran sorpresa es ver que los manhwas son totalmente a color, y su distribución es diferente, pero personalmente me encanto, y en esto Solo Leveling es una obra de arte, visualmente es como ver un anime en fotogramas, es hermoso.
Hace unos años vi Sword Art Online (SAO) y la verdad me gusto, sobre todo la segunda temporada de GGO, pero la verdad siempre he criticado a su protagonista, pues me parece que su poder es algo sin sentido, y la obra ni siquiera se molesta en darle algo de contexto a sus power up, el solo existe y es un galán con 50 mujeres a su disposición jajajaja, se preguntaran por qué digo todo esto y es simple, esta obra, su premisa y nombre lo dicen todo: SOLO LEVELING
Nuestro protagonista es Sung Jin-Woo un chico demasiado débil, en ese mundo existen portales que han aparecido y de los cuales salen monstruos asesinos, para detenerlos los humanos empezaron a reclutar a gente que despertó poderes luego de la aparición de los portales y les llaman cazadores, estos se encargan de entrar a los portales y destruir a los monstruos en sus mazmorras antes de que estos emerjan y ataquen a la humanidad, y Sung Jin-Woo es uno de ellos.
El problema con esto es que los portales y los cazadores tienen diferentes rangos desde el rango E que es el más débil, escalando a D, C, B, A y el rango S, y nuestro protagonista es rango E y también es llamado el cazador más débil del mundo, así comienza nuestra trama, con nuestro protagonista entrando a una mazmorra de rango E, pero todo cambia cuando descubren que es una mazmorra doble, algo increíblemente raro y todo toma un giro inesperado en la vida de Sung.
Así comienza el desarrollo de la historia de este manhwa, nuestro protagonista poco a poco gracias a ciertos eventos es capaz de empezar a enfrentarse a estas mazmorras y portales el solo, siendo cada vez mas poderoso, por eso les comentaba lo de SAO, pues esto me lo recordó muchísimo, pero a diferencia de Sword Art aquí se explica el porque de los poderes de nuestro protagonista y su proceso de crecimiento.
Este manhwa trata de explicar los combates, el crecimiento y los poderes de Sung Jin-Woo como si fuera un juego, lo cual nos simplifica ver como se hace mas fuerte, sus habilidades y para todos los que estemos acostumbrados a los juegos de Rol (RPG) estaremos mas que felices viendo como la trama nos sumerge en una vida que parece un juego.
También la historia explora decisiones morales bastante profundas, como es la vida de un cazador, como lo ve la gente normal, la vida personal del protagonista y su entorno familiar, hay cosas que al principio no son del todo claras, pero conforme avanza la trama vamos entendiendo la complejidad de la misma y como aparecen situaciones que explican el trasfondo.
Los personajes secundarios, destacan bastante, aunque todo gire en torno al protagonista, estos personajes secundarios tienen una personalidad muy definida y que aporta al avance de la historia, quiero hacer mención honorifica a Cha Hae-in una cazadora muy poderosa y el presidente de la Asociación de Cazadores, cuya personalidad y acciones me hicieron agarrarle demasiado cariño.
No quiero hacer spoiler, así que diré que algunas invocaciones (monstruos que ayudan a nuestro protagonista) me hicieron reír demasiado, conforme avanza la obra tienen mas protagonismo y se siente genial. P.D: TE AMO IGRIS jajajaja
Me tomo un poco terminar este manhwa y se que el año que viene le harán un anime, así que para los que quieran verlo con un año de adelanto, esta es la señal jajaja, el manhwa es totalmente a color y ya esta finalizado, son 180 capítulos y 20 de epilogo los cuales casi me hacen llorar tanto de alegría como de tristeza en ciertas tramas.
Espero que este mini review los motive a leerlo, yo llegue con cero expectativas y salí con una de mis obras favoritas, podría estar en mi top 5 personal así que eso ya es muchísimo. Sin nada más que decirles, espero que le den una oportunidad y si tienen alguna recomendación háganmela saber.
¡Muchas gracias por pasar por aquí! Pentaghast fuera!

Hello friends! Today is the first day of September and as such new things will come this month, but that does not mean that August left us good things, in my case I managed to do many personal projects, but also finish several manga and anime, but this time I do not come to talk about any of them, I come to talk about a manhwa is a Korean manga for those who do not know, and not just any manhwa, THE FATHER OF MANHWAS:
SOLO LEVELING
The truth is that I had never read manhwas and I wanted to give Solo Leveling a chance and I have taken a big surprise, I have read many manga and the first thing that caused me a big surprise is to see that the manhwas are completely in color, and its distribution is different, but personally I loved it, and in this Solo Leveling is a work of art, visually it is like watching an anime in frames, it is beautiful.
A few years ago I saw Sword Art Online (SAO) and I really liked it, especially the second season of GGO, but the truth is that I have always criticized its protagonist, because it seems to me that his power is something meaningless, and the work does not even bother to give some context to his power up, he just exists and is a beau with 50 women at his disposal hahaha, you may wonder why I say all this and it is simple, this work, its premise and name says it all: SOLO LEVELING
Our protagonist is Sung Jin-Woo a boy too weak, in that world there are portals that have appeared and from which murderous monsters come out, to stop them humans began to recruit people who awakened powers after the appearance of the portals and call them hunters, these are responsible for entering the portals and destroy the monsters in their dungeons before they emerge and attack humanity, and Sung Jin-Woo is one of them.
The problem with this is that portals and hunters have different ranks from rank E which is the weakest, climbing to D, C, B, A and rank S, and our protagonist is rank E and is also called the weakest hunter in the world, so our plot begins, with our protagonist entering a rank E dungeon, but everything changes when they discover that it is a double dungeon, something incredibly rare and everything takes an unexpected turn in Sung's life.
Thus begins the development of the story of this manhwa, our protagonist gradually thanks to certain events is able to begin to face these dungeons and portals alone, becoming increasingly powerful, that's why I was talking about SAO, because this reminded me a lot, but unlike Sword Art here explains the reason for the powers of our protagonist and his growth process.
This manhwa tries to explain the combat, growth and powers of Sung Jin-Woo as if it were a game, which simplifies us to see how he becomes stronger, his abilities and for all of us who are used to RPG games we will be more than happy to see how the plot immerses us in a life that seems like a game.
Also the story explores quite deep moral decisions, as is the life of a hunter, as normal people see it, the personal life of the protagonist and his family environment, there are things that at first are not entirely clear, but as the plot progresses we understand the complexity of it and how situations that explain the background appear.
The secondary characters, stand out quite a lot, although everything revolves around the protagonist, these secondary characters have a very definite personality and that contributes to the advancement of the story, I want to make honorable mention to Cha Hae-in a very powerful hunter and the president of the Association of Hunters, whose personality and actions made me grab me too fond of him.
I don't want to make spoiler, so I will say that some invocations (monsters that help our protagonist) made me laugh too much, as the work progresses they have more protagonism and it feels great. P.S: I LOVE YOU IGRIS hahahaha
It took me a little bit to finish this manhwa and I know that next year they will make an anime, so for those who want to see it with a year in advance, this is the signal hahaha, the manhwa is totally in color and is already finished, there are 180 chapters and 20 of epilogue which almost made me cry both of joy and sadness in certain plots.
I hope this mini review motivates you to read it, I arrived with zero expectations and I came out with one of my favorite works, it could be in my personal top 5 so that's already a lot. Without anything else to tell you, I hope you give it a chance and if you have any recommendations let me know.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Pentaghast out!

Since I finally caught up with 'Legendary Moonlight Sculptor' last week, this week I moved on to another manhwa/webtoon (then light novel). This week I am reading Solo Leveling! XD
Solo Leveling tells the story about one E-rank hunter named Sung Jin-Woo as he risk his life in the lowliest of dungeon defeating the lowliest of monsters, to earn money to survive and pay for his mother's hospital bills.
Everything changed when he stumbled upon a hidden dungeon inside another dungeon (double lair dungeon) and encounter a near-death experience. The moment he woke up, he received a strange power that would change him from being the 'World's Weakest Hunter' to the "World's Strongest S-rank Hunter".
Truth be told, what piqued my interest on this series was it's title. Seeing as there is a "Leveling" on the title, I thought it was another of those mmorpg or vr stories I am a sucker for. And I was somewhat right on that. XD
The strange power the main character receives after a near-death experience was more or less like a 'Player-leveling System' exclusive to only him. That means everytime he defeats a monster or complete a quest, he receives EXP and some rewards. (And as you can see on the Screenshot below, with the training of Saitama XD)
Anyway, one could even say that it's more or less similar to the webtoon 'The Gamer' with a little brutality added.
I was honestly impressed after reading the first few chapters as they are not afraid to show a little cutting off body parts, crushing human heads, turning to ashes, etc...
Even the Main Character was 'somewhat' forced to murder another hunter which is very rare to see on any series. They normally play it safe and goes with the moral route.
As for the storyline, it honestly feels like a combination of some popular anime/manga/manhwa series combined into one so it's nothing unique.
It is still some somewhat enjoyable to binge-read though and honestly the art on this series is very well done.
Cover created in Canva. 
Yet like I said this manga is just starting. So I guess I'll just sit tight and see if they'll improve, or if these things that are still just minor annoyances ends up in me hating on the whole fandom.
Hopefully not though...
