A Short Review of Solo Leveling Anime

This anime begins when a portal to the Dungeon opens and causes many monsters to enter the human world.

This monster cannot be killed with even the most sophisticated conventional weapons. 

If within the specified time period humans cannot defeat the Dungeon boss then the human world will be overrun by monsters. 

However, these monsters are a blessing for mankind because when they are killed they will produce very expensive crystals. 

With these crystals, Solo Leveling (Hunter) characters can also awaken unique powers.

Unfortunately, the main character in this anime, Sung Jinwoo, is the weakest Hunter in history.

In the world of Solo Leveling, Hunters are divided into the highest rank S to the lowest E. Well, Sung Jinwoo is in rank E. 

It is absolutely impossible for Jinwoo to become strong because there is no level and EXP system in the Solo Leveling world.

But thanks to a series of absurd events, Jinwoo became the strongest thanks to that impossibility. Until Jinwoo became different among the other Hunters.

In concept, this anime is similar to isekai anime in general. However, its popularity today Solo Leveling has more viewers in a short time than isekai anime such as Overlord and Sword Art Online

The question is, why is this isekai anime the most popular among the many isekai anime?

There were so many fans of this anime that they caused the anime streaming server to go down because of the release of episode two. 

Apart from that, let's discuss the reasons behind the isekai anime Solo Leveling becoming very popular, see the explanation below: 

Good Anime Intro

This assessment is somewhat subjective, but if you think about it, Solo Leveling's weak character at the beginning of the story's introduction becomes its own attraction. 

If we see isekai anime Sword Art Online, Kirito, the main character, has been good at swords since the start. Then if we look at the anime Overlord, the main character is a god who has everything. 

Well, this anime dares to be different from its predecessor competitors. Even though in the end the main character becomes strong, at the beginning of the story Jinwoo's hard work becomes the attraction of this anime.

The attraction of this anime lies in Jinwoo's journey in completing quests every day. Starting from running 10 km, sit ups, push ups, and other simple quests that are actually interesting to follow.

Solo Leveling Storyline

This anime has an interesting storyline, throughout the Solo Leveling journey it displays the RPG game concept in every battle. 

Every drop item that Jinwoo finds will be useful for improving his abilities. Each item has its own advantages and side effects. 

From this item system, this anime has succeeded in overtaking its predecessor anime competitors such as Sword Art Online, Overlord, and many others.

Even though it is a fantasy anime that depicts various super powers. This South Korean anime presents quite realistic stories and battles. 

You could say that the portion of fantasy and reality is presented in a balanced manner. Let's look at anime One Punch Man, the characters there feel less realistic. Especially if they are high rank heroes. 

This kind of thing does not apply in the Solo Leveling anime, because S class Hunters still have fear when facing enemies who are not comparable.

Post-fight trauma is also described well by the author. Like the shell shock scene experienced by Lee Joohee after she survived the Double Dungeon.

Character and Environment Visualization

The visualization of the characters and environment in the Solo Leveling anime is very good, even the manhwa version is full color. 

One of the comic strips that is memorable because it has been used as meme material in Indonesia is when Jinwoo and the other Hunters prostrate themselves in front of three giant statues. 

Apart from that, the character designs in this anime are character designs. Perhaps human characters are less able to describe the success of the author's visualization. 

However, if we look at the visualization of the characters in Shadow Army, we will be able to judge that the visuals of this anime are classy. The author of this anime succeeded in describing the Shadow Army in each detail. 

Jinwoo Character Development

When talking about character development, what Jinwoo actually experienced was not as deep as character development Vinland Saga Thorfinn. 

However, Jinwoo's character development related to his strength and good looks is a special attraction for some groups. 

Jinwoo's journey is not as good as Thorfinn's but it still requires meaning. Jinwoo doesn't get instant power, if he wants to level up Jinwoo has to complete many quests which are not easy. 

Jinwoo's struggle is very interesting to follow. Moreover, at the beginning of the story he was very weak and almost died from a goblin class monster.

At the beginning of the chapter it might be a bit sad to see the main character of Solo Leveling who is weak and useless. But in the future, Jinwoo's fight will be even more epic.

The battles that Jinwoo will face always succeed in making the audience feel tense and curious about the mysterious continuation.  

A Successful Combination of Visuals, Story, and Character Development

This fourth reason makes Solo Leveling the best isekai anime of all time. The combination of isekai power fantasy anime with the RPG concept in it is the attraction of this anime. 

The concept of rank that applies among Hunters and Dungeon portals which are explored in detail make this anime story very rich. 

Another complexity that adds depth to this anime's story is the division of dungeon ranks and the monsters in them. 

Meetings between Hunters from across countries are also the attraction of this anime. This anime is so detailed that even the build items in this anime also apply. 

Indeed anime such as Shield of Hero, Overlord, SAO, and Mushoku Tensei it's really good to follow. It's just that Solo Leveling succeeded in introducing this anime character well.
