Solo Leveling Ep. 12 "Arise" marks the end of the first season of this anime. However, this is not the end of this anime. Nor is it even the beginning of the end. No, as one Winston Churchill once said, this is merely the end of the beginning. All with Jin-woo looking like he's finally going to
Solo Leveling is turning out to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, hit anime series of Crunchyroll's Winter 2024 anime season. Certainly, the numbers and critical acclaim don't lie when it comes to this action-packed urban fantasy anime adaptation of the web novel series of the same name by

Solo Leveling Ep. 11 "A Knight Who Defends an Empty Throne" basically puts Jin-woo in a fight against an optional boss. RPG video game fans will know what I'm talking about. You know those optional boss fights that are far more difficult than anything else in the game, and usually gives some kind

Solo Leveling Ep. 10 "What Is This, a Picnic?" is a pretty straightforward episode. No complex plotline here today. It's basically just Jin-woo power leveling, with Jin-ho raking in some easy cash on top of that. Well, there is a bit with Joo-hee at the beginning, but apparently, that's unimportant

The episode before Solo Leveling Ep. 9 "You've Been Hiding Your Skills" made us think the plot was going a certain way with those prisoners. Then comes this episode, which throws us for a loop via a most unexpected development. Solo Leveling Ep. 9 "You've Been Hiding Your Skills": Details There's a

After the very much skippable recap episode last time, Solo Leveling Ep. 8 "This is Frustrating" is a breath of fresh air. Mostly because it's a return to your previously scheduled dungeon raid. This time, we even have a return of some of the original cast. Complete with all the trauma it entails,
No matter what you think about Solo Leveling, you can't deny that it's a hit. A veritable hit, no less. It seems that this anime is just as big a hit as the South Korean web novel/webtoon by Chugong it was based on. In fact, it's so much of a hit that it's getting something few anime have received

Daemons of the Shadow Realm has Yuru and his Daemons turn the table on his pursuers in Ep. 4 "Jin and Yuru". It's pretty clearly a case of the hunters becoming the hunted here, and in a very action-packed way to boot. Now we wait and see if this is a good thing for Yuru, or if he has bitten off
