Caught episodes 1 / 2 of Sakamoto days due to the recommendation. Not bad, they are short and sweet so I will likely keep up with it. I like the action and juxtaposition of highly training assassin who is now an overweight store clerk. I am curious where it is going to go.

It is on the silly side of the spectrum for me where a bit more serious is what I usually like. I don't know the word for it, but the good old Rurouni Kenshin 'oro?' weird face tear drop type stuff kills my immersion.

Zenshu is pretty fun. Isekai'ish, but the MC chick is an animator and can draw up combat scenes and have them appear - they look like actual sketches though which makes an interesting contrast to the regular animation of the show.

Not sure if it is meant to be serious or not - the 'solution' to the most recent episode's boss fight was pretty funny though.

I think the reason I like solo leveling so much is Jinwoo acts like a man, not an anime character.

Next episode gonna be lit.

I think the last 4-5 episodes of solo leveling this season are going to blow everyone's mind. That have not read anything about the series...
The Jeru raid with the end of the season Bering the Reveal of Beru

I think they're doing a really good job of covering the relationship stuff, better than the Manga really. The fights have been handled great.
The fight he about to have right now is a huge one. Beru is big for different reasons of course. His wife is getting much better play, i was confused by her story in the Manga. It felt shoehorned in.

No, at this pace the season will end with the end of that arc. They're covering 5-6 manghwa chapters per episode.

The leaks say it'll end around chapter 110.

I think the beru reveal is a bit better at the end of the raid but ms. Selner being scared and saying he has no limits is also a very good spot.

The music lead up to the boss and then the ending - one of the worst blue ball moments I've ever experienced.

I know it would resemble Persona a bit, but a Solo Leveling game would be awesome lol

How is Solo Leveling sooooo good!?

When solo leveling first came out it was damn good, then I make the mistake of reading the rest of it. Season 1-2 and probably 3 are gonna be fucking amazing, somewhere around Season 4 it's gonna pull a Game of Thrones, or Attack on Titan levels of turbo gay.

Was looking for something to watch since I was caught up on all the shows I'm watching this season and checked out Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement. I was not expecting it to be as good as it is, very enjoyable and would recommend.

That's the curse of web novels: Writer starts out with new ideas, but has no clear outline for the story--throw things at the wall and see what sticks. Once in a while he throws in fresh ideas, which works until he is either out of ideas, writing is becoming a chore, or the world building cannot absorb more power progression and things start to fall apart. At this point usually readership has declined and you get a lackluster ending, and the author moves on to the next series.

Sadly, well-constructed stories (where the writer made a plot outline beforehand) are really rare. Also because you can't milk the story for more volumes/chapters if it takes off.

Unpopular opinion: Solo Leveling is even mid as a Korean novel, it just went to the top in the west because of the art, and because Korean protagonists aren't "power of friendship" and "forgiveness because of the sad backstory" beta cucks like Japanese protagonists. There's a lot of better Korean novels, but then of course there's a lot more trash.

Yeah I made the mistake of spoiling the entire series and even Ragnarok too.

I agree there are moments of retardness, but the overall series was quite good.
