Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 25 "On to the Next Target" marks the finale of the second season of this anime. Alas, it's a finale that begins and ends with curbstomp after curbstomp. Such things might be entertaining as an opening act, but by this point, it feels more boring
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 24 "Are You the King of Humans" sets itself up as an epic clash between champions. However, it soon becomes apparent that the fight isn't even remotely a fair one. Spoilers: it's not Jin-woo. As a result, despite the setup and how good-looking the
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 22 "We Need a Hero" tries to make up for the terrible plot of the previous episodes with action. As well as an attempt at story. It kind of succeeds in the latter, but at least there's enough of the former that you can switch your brain off and
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 21 "It was All Worth It" is very peculiar in that it treats Jin-woo's actions throughout the episode as heroic or even comedic. However, even a cursory examination of what he actually does makes you gape at him in shock. From abandoning a key ally

Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 18 "Don’t Look Down on My Guys" marks a return to the classic story formula for the anime. It's a return so classic that it's a bit of a downgrade from the previous episode. Here, the band of potentially interesting side characters is now reduced
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 17 "This Is What We're Trained to Do" is a prime example of why Sung Jin-woo is cursed. No matter which dungeon he goes into, it practically assures that something will go horribly, horribly wrong. I suppose this is why he's as overpowered as he is

"Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair" is now available on Hulu. The title of the show really sells how fans of the franchise that ran from 2000 through 2006 should feel about the series. I promise I will explain. This "revival" brought back as many stars as they could, including Frankie
