Review of Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow

Is Solo Leveling a good show? Meh. Is Solo Leveling a great show? No. Is Solo Leveling an okay show? Yes. There is absolutely nothing about this show that is special in any way. An 8.85 (currently) MAL rating is crazy. I'm not trying to be a hater, but I'm just being honest, there is nothing of sustenance here. The Plot - Terrible, might as well be nonexistent. You don't care about the plot at all with one exception when the protagonist completes a long-time goal. The Characters - Terrible. The only character that is even mediocre is the protagonist himself. He's cool. That's all he has,he's cool. Does a viewer care about him? No. Does he have an interesting personality? No. Does he have anything going for him outside of edgy coolness? No. And that's the best character in the show. Everybody else is pure garbage. You got waifu bait for weebs, who will latch on to any fictional 2d girl. But no girl in this show truly stands out, nor do they get any moment to shine. This show has a truly bland cast

The Artstyle - Average good anime. Nothing more to say. Nothing special at all

The Animation - Controversial opinion, but basically, all modern-day action animes have bad animation for the most part. This one is no exception. It uses that same garbage way of animating fights that JJK S1 and the Naruto vs Pain fight do. But those shows do it way better. At least in those shows, you can still see what's going on. In this show, the camera moves so damn much, you can't even see the freaking fight. I think the animation is bad, not on a technical level, but the animation-style is bad. Making the camera shake and having flashing bright light explosions all the time does not equal good animation.

Overall - Solo Leveling S2 is a completely forgettable show completely unworthy of the hype it gets. S1 had an interesting beginning, and the protagonist still had something of a personality. This doesn't have that; it has one redeeming scene, and that's it. The show is bland, and I don't believe that's subjective opinion but objective fact. It does nothing special, and will be forgotten eventually. 10, 20, 30 years from now, no one will be talking about this show. And yet the shows that will still be talked about (which are way better by the way) such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, etc somehow have lower ratings.
It doesn't make any sense. Someway somehow, aliens enactacted mind-control on most anime fans to convince them that this mediocre show is somehow excellent.
