Really not a fan of "overanimating" something. It's unfortunately trendy to do it these days, but it makes it so damn hard to tell what's happening in a scene. A prime example is in this episode. When everything went wavy and black and white just before that uppercut. This show has some top tier animation, but there IS such a thing as too much (like in that moment in particular).

2025-06-07 04:02:17 +0000 UTCI think the explosion at the end is because of the uppercut in the laser-shooting head

2025-06-05 19:31:27 +0000 UTCJust so we are aware lol this anime is Japanese but the show is in Korea lol their in Korea and only have 10 S ranks and Japan has 11 S ranks within their whole country not just one guild just the strongest is from that initial guild so he’s their speaker, also jinwoo still has to do the process of “Arise” to gain shadows not just “souls” that just means that he defeated a enemy

2025-06-05 03:29:23 +0000 UTC#sunday rundown solo leveling is not a manga it’s a manhua. It’s in korean and a Korean piece of fiction not Japanese. the main cast is from Korea. Korea as a country has 10 s ranks including jinwoo. That goes to show how weak Korea is given only a single guild from Japan has 11 s ranks. Remember just because jinwoo is the strongest in Korea doesn’t mean there aren’t crazy strong hunters from other countries.

2025-06-04 21:42:42 +0000 UTCThe mission to Jeju for the last season with Choi was not a raid but a risk assessment mission to help plan the raid.

2025-06-04 21:37:48 +0000 UTC8min #SundayRundown It’s mentioned above but don’t feel bad for forgetting it’s in Korea. It’s a complicated production. Even more, in the Japanese broadcast, Jinwoo’s name is “ Shun Mizushino” and the series takes place in Tokyo. “Collecting souls” in the demon castle is basically just Jinwoo beating an enemy. It’s not the same as shadow extraction. He can’t extract the shadows from demons in the castle. Btw Rana, nice on saying Goto reminds you of Aizawa cause they have the same English VA.

2025-06-04 18:08:52 +0000 UTCBaran was about to launch a blast when Jinwoo threw his uppercut, so it wasn't his punch that went nuclear but Barans blast that was redirected

2025-06-03 22:18:11 +0000 UTCNgl I feel like Solo Leveling winning best anime might not be for "the best anime of the year" but it feels more like "if y'all won this... give us the damn season 3 ASAP cause ain't no way we gon wait till 2028" ah moment 💀🤣🤣🤣 seems far fetched but that's my take on AOTY Awards 😂 I love Solo Leveling hell I'm a SL glazer too but SL winning AOTY was not on my list I would pick something else ngl he'll even the SLA Game I've been grinding since it first came out and with this much success they gotta focus on bringing season 3 man fck all those rewards give me the SAUCE MAN!!!

2025-06-03 19:09:52 +0000 UTCMy only complaint with this anime is that the pacing is a bit too fast. I wish they could have slow down and spent an extra episode in the Demon Castle and extend a few fight scenes with Metus on the previous episode. I believe you met most of the Korean S rank hunters by now: Baek Yoonho (Guild Master White tiger guild), Choi Jong-In (Guild Master of Hunters guild), Chae Hae-In (Vice Guild Master of Hunters guild), Lim Tae-Gyu (Guild Master of Reaper's guild), Min Byung-Gyu S rank healer you saw him on episode 1, Eunseok last seen in episode 1 assume KIA on the 3rd Jeju Island raid, Go Gunhee (Chairman of the Korean Hunter Association) , Sung Jinwoo protagonist (Giga Chad aka Dripwoo). Hwang Dongsoo born and awakened in South Korea, but switch sides to America.

2025-06-03 19:07:14 +0000 UTCThe reason the Demon Monarch's head explodes wasn't because of him it was because of the beam it was charging up which is why Jinwoo went for an uppercut so it wouldn't blow up in his face. As for the Raid meeting it just shows you how far behind in power Korea is to the rest of the world. When they only have 7 active S ranks and Japan more then doubles their whole country with that one guild's strength. Jinwoo is the 10th S-rank to come from Korea, but the chairman is too old to fight and another retired from the trauma of the failed jeju island raids and the last Hwang Dong-soo was bought off/recruited by America so he isn't considered as a part Korea anymore(As if you didn't need anymore reason to hate him bro literally betrayed his country). So in total Korea only really has 7 active S ranks.

2025-06-03 16:06:31 +0000 UTCJinn Woo is the 11º S rank from Korea, not Japan. The hunter they are talking with is from Japan, from a guild that has at least 11 S rank hunters

2025-06-03 15:46:28 +0000 UTCJust a heads up cause the anime isn’t gonna say it but jinwoo can extract shadows so getting barrans soul won’t allow him to summon him I’m pretty sure plus the demons shadows are corrupted and can’t be extracted. They mentioned it back in ep 3 I think when he originally went back
