Review of Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise from the Shadow

Just as the last season, Solo Leveling s2 has flashy action and animation, but ultimately it's pretty substanceless - relying on hype and "aura" rather than characters or narrative. Considering that, It also takes itself way too seriously. Even for those who specifically want action they may find themselves uninterested in the fights due to a lack of compelling motivations or interest in the combatants. And even if that isn't an issue - plenty of shows could scratch the same itch for surface level action and hype, some of which are more technically impressive or otherwise better. But if all you need is some cool fights andhype - this is your jam.
If not, you're better off looking elsewhere.
