Review of Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow

i will (mostly) defend solo leveling for probably the rest of my life. it is a great action anime about a cool guy doing cool things in cool fights with cool animations. nothing more needs to happen. even besides that, episode two of season 1 is an absolute masterpiece that got me back into anime the first time i watched it. the monologue jinwoo had at the end was awesome and was probably the first time i ever felt something while watching one of those (i realize ts isnt relevant but still). many people will hate on its lack of plot depth and reliance onaura and hype moments, which is fair ig. But i'd like to say that it needs none of those to make a good show. saiki k is one of my favorite shows and it doesnt have a real plot til the final 6-ish episodes. if it does what it does best at the best level i see nothing wrong with it.
