Review of Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow
This is the first time I've written a review of an anime from this perspective, but I think you'll understand why later. This review applies to the first season, this one, the third, the tenth, and so on. So, why am I even writing this? Well, guys and girls, tell me, do you have nothing better to do? Are you seriously, foaming at the mouth, proving to each other that entertaining chewing gum has no plot, is stupid, has no lore, etc.? This is some kind of cringe, to put it in modern terms. I just play Kingdom Cum and enjoy it, don't blame me. So, thisanime is the most natural chewing gum. Solo Leveling does not pretend to be a great anime, it does not pretend to be something with a super rich lore, which was written according to secret documents, under the supervision of scientists and great writers of our time. It's extremely unique, but because of that it's fun, you watch it and just enjoy it. You turn off your brain and don't need anything else. And even if you turn on your brain, you can still enjoy it.
What really surprises me is the level of production. It's just hilarious. Excellent animations, excellent music, a tough stylistic opening, both the first and the second. The track from the first season of Dark Aria is top notch. It's a pity that it was used exactly once, I hope it will be used again. The drawing is ordinary, in places a wild style, in places a riot, that triangular faces, with which you can kill just by hitting the chin. But it's clear that even the authors of the anime seem to enjoy the process, it looks so easy. I don't think there's any crunch or overwork, that you can climb the walls and hang yourself. It copes with its task with a bang.
And a few words about the main character, I always forget his name, for me he's just a guy. He is the personification of my childhood friend. When we were kids playing outside, he would always make up nonsense like:
I hit you
You couldn't hit me, I have a super cool shield
And I have an attack that will break through the shield
And my shield is unusual, that it can't be broken through by any weapon and there is no force that will break it
This is literally the whole solo leveling, but if my friend lost when he slipped and fell in shit, dirtying his jacket and running home, then I don't know if there will be such a big piece of shit in Solo Level to defeat the main character here. 100% no and he will defeat everyone and save everyone and the coolest girl will be his wife. And his raids are pure hilarity. Reminds me of the videos "I pretended to be a bum (and I'm a master of sports in basketball) and came and destroyed 12 year olds on the playground."
In short, people, stop arguing and proving to each other which anime is bad, which is good. Watch what's cool, ignore those who are trying to impose something on you and prove something, don't even waste your time. During the time you spend in the comments, you could have watched 10 anime, or a movie, or a series. Or taken a walk and touched the grass. This is regular gum, yum yum delicious. But these arguments of 10 year olds "THIS IS BAD, NOOOOO THIS IS TOOOP" I'm totally having a blast with this, you can cry and scream how bad this anime is, maybe you'll feel better.
Come on, watch and enjoy it with me.
