Yeah, i listened to the audio book version and its *chef's kiss* compared to the anime, alot more depth and development with certain characters than the anime could cram in without making it an info dump or changing too much.

It wasn’t just the animation people were concerned about, it was the changes to the story. Specifically the Jiju island raid arc, which is being heavily altered from the original because Japan were the villains of the arc. Since Japan is making the anime they’re rewriting the story to make themselves not the villains, which will have an impact on later arcs as well

Watch in sub and you get a real goated Voice 😉

This episode was amazing and incredibly well done and the voice acting was really well done
Dark Paradox
One of the best endings
Void
Jinwoos VA in the English dub is honestly goated. It’s one of the best voice acting performances I’ve ever heard. And I’m talking about the whole series not just this episode
Camilo
Montana's tshirt is ELITE hahaha

It's honestly weird that episode 1 and 2 weren't combined for an hour special because they feel like they belong together. Kinda like how Re:Zero did back when it was released.
Ferret
I think they wanted to spotlight characters like the Chairman, Cha, and the Guildmasters who in the manhwa aren't introduced until they're relevant to Jinwoo's story, and it does screw with the pacing a bit, agreed.

Manhwa is a quick read. For Solo Leveling, the only thing I have concern for is the comedy aspect of the story. There are small funny moments all throughout the show. And I’m wondering whether the anime will keep those moments, considering they’re taking a more serious approach to the anime
Herman Vallestad
ok, i started reading the manwa after the last ep of the animei so didnt know that
David Bodor
I feel like this should've been episode 1 and the pacing would be a lot better for this anime?
Izrail Gevorgyan
Cha Hae-In, Baek Yoonho, Choi Jong-In, and everything that references Jeju Island, only begins to get talked about, post him meeting Igris. Some things in the manhwa are hinted at. But they showed and talked about Jeju beforehand. So when bla bla bla happens, people will already have background and info about it.

i know that you guys said you aren’t great with subs, however i’d 1000% recommend at least checking out these monologue scenes in japanese. both english and japanese voice actors knock it out of the park so hard
Day
It was also adapted from a Novel series too!
Day
SPOILER FOR WEBTOON AND SHOW Yeah the OG monarch specifically chose Jinwoo out of all the humans and the other dude who made the system with OG monarch agreed and made a trial so Jinwoo could become "a player" and become strong enough to host the Shadow Monarch
Imari
I always wondered if all the people there stayed till the end of they would have also qualified for the option of choosing to be a player

Watched this show for the first time a few months back, and now I’m obsessed. It’s so good!!! Love the dub, too. Aleks Le seriously does such a good job.
Bryan
I just binged watched the rest of this show the other day it was so good

FYI, "0.02 seconds to decide" thing is probably incorrect. The pop-up says his heart will stop in 0.02 seconds if he doesn't accept. So it seems to me like the game "paused" while the pop-up was open. It's like how single-player (solo) games pause whenever a tutorial or some other dialogue window pops up.
Big K
I can already tell this is gonna be such a good show. Might end up watching it on my own

Aleks Lee BODIED this role was jinwoo. the emotion and anger in his rant at the end encapsulated the direness of the situation perfectly, almost got me to tear up a little bit. He's an amazing voice actor!
Katsuki BakuGOAT
I love the fact that we have now conditioned Montana to anime so well, that she doesn't even blink when she sees carnage💥 So proud 😆
Katsuki BakuGOAT
Kenny if you ever skip this intro you will be committing sacrilege. I want to hear a "let's go" after every "let's get it" in the intro 🤣
Jefferey Kidd
Isakai means "another world".
H-Bomb 24
Forreal, Aleks Lee is a LEGEND. Regardless of the series or character, he always gives it his all.
mal
rare occasion where both voice actors(english and japanese)for the main character absolutely nails it
BLUEMONKEY18
Read it as it was coming out, it’s very good and the anime so far has be hyped for the rest!
Justin Spencer
Thanks 🙏🏾
Herman Vallestad
no, BIG SPOLER FOR THE MANWA, a big part of way he was chosen is because he almost died so often and that was kind of some requirement to be the (again big manwa spoiler) shadow monarch. and being the ''player'' was just a stepping stone to become the shadow monarch
Herman Vallestad
(kinda SPOILER FOR THE MANWA, not sure)..............they kina sorta predicted some things in the later bit of the manwa also.
Justin Spencer
I wanna ask a manga reader only question since it’s been so long since I read the manga If the others had stayed in the circle would they have also been considered “players”?
Herman Vallestad
what character are you referring too?
H-Bomb 24
Yeah, I've seen it. It looks great.
H-Bomb 24
Man, Aleks Lee just KILLS IT as Jinwoo. I can't wait for Montana to hear more.
Izrail Gevorgyan
People were also worried about the pacing when we saw character designs for characters that were introduced later. Little did we know that the way they would use said characters before the official introductions is actually REALLY cool. They are giving the story more depth and expanding on the world that was given to us in the manhwa
ELT HELIX
You’re gonna have to put a genius counter, especially for when she starts talking about it being like an escape room with somebody watching OMG
H-Bomb 24
If I were you, Kenny, I would've waited till, at least, next episode for Montana to see the OP.
Big Fuze
That’s dope, had no idea it was drawn in color from the get go
Erin Ryan
Fun fact: Solo Leveling is a Manhwa which is written in Korea and is drawn in color. Manga is written in Japan which is where most animes come from.
