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. 23 "It's Going to Get Even More Intense" is basically a chance for the side cast to get their moment of awesomeness. Alas, they get exactly one episode to be awesome, and it's not even the entire episode either. Near the end, they encounter 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
