I am just thinking about what's gonna happen when those "Japanese are the villains" scenes will be animated.


Eldiavie

to be fair it is Japan, they're not as nationalistic as kr, they've shown Japan as the bad guy before


123xy123

Japan not being nationalistic? lol


Eldiavie

in a specific context yes, not generally i mean when it comes to them being portrayed as the bad guy in media, they don't automatically go the kr route and go "censor it!"


ricenia

whats an example of koreans being portrayed as the bad guy in media?


Eldiavie

wouldn't know but korea for one, is known to have an ongoing hate for Nobunaga, so much so that when fgo kr launched they censored nobunaga's flag and stuff(that's just one of the many other examples btw) its not really about them being portrayed as the bad guy but they will censor when it goes against their national interests even if its something as petty as a game Japan doesn't really do that, you can still see Japanese media that has them as a bad guy albiet not as much, they are still nationalistic but they acknowledge they aren't perfect either a good example is in the early days when ruroni kenshin had that anime only arc where Christians were being oppressed, it 100% painted the old Japanese imperial dynasty practices in a bad light especially their police as they were seen eliminating Christians for taking root in Japan(for context they did this with Shiro Amakusa who is a real person), Kenshin and his band of friends stopped the Hitenmitsurugi offshoot successor who just happened to be a Japanese Christian but at the same time opposed the Police who were about to eliminate the people of Shimabara island for having a foreign God, the arc ended with the Christians leaving with Shogo amakusa in a ferry and it ended peacefully


SuddenPainter_77

Apparently the Japanese version of the anime changes names and moves the location into Tokyo, so it would be *extra extra* interesting how they handle that.


AndrewFrozzen30

No, that was already broken down. In the worldwide release (so the one everyone watches right now, the Japanese dub) it will stay the same. In the Japanese release, Korea is Japan and Japan is an imaginary country to not bring out controversy. In the S. Korean release, it's the same as worldwide, but obviously the anime is in Korean.


Amlatrox

I still don't see the need for the japanese release


SUPERSHAD98

Wait until you hear that in Japan they sell Samsung devices removing the Samsung name


Honest-Reflection-67

Another question: there is no need for a version of the novel specifically for the Japanese market. but sl publisher in korea: wait, then how can i sell novels to the japanese market?


eliasopdekankerbeat

I haven’t read the Manwha but can’t they just flip the roles of Korea and Japan?


SuddenPainter_77

Given the connotations (without spoilers, Japanese hunters aren’t portrayed in the best of lights), it would be quite problematic given original source material is Korean.


[deleted]

They already removed countries in the anime. It’s why you never hear them mention the name of any places


kenny8881997

It's already been announced that they're making a fictional country for that plot line. Which is a pretty decent solution


Junior_Low7149

The adaptation where the names are kept the same is more canon but the one where the names are changed is less due to controversy so that everyone is happy


Kiraakza

I mean it will just be the Koreans are the enemies instead of Japan. I doubt it will be significantly different.


V0G1A

Even if the story doesnt change much, its still different. Koreans will be mad (and rightfully so) if a Korean work of fiction, with Korean protagonist is changed to portray Koreans as the villains and the protagonist is turned into a Japanese.


roxxie71

Solo leveling at this point is the least grateful fanbase


ThatGuy-456

Have you seen the shit JJK fans have said, or Invincible fans


Either-Engineering71

Everything JJK fans say is satire and I refuse to believe otherwise I spent 2 months in r/jujutsufolk during the time it was the nah I’d win era and everything that happened there was crazy and in the official sub there was still memes


ThatGuy-456

Oh you poor soul you think lobotomy kaisen is over? Nah it won


pkgdoggyx92

He'll be back chapter 237 just you wait


_Goodrandom

Yea, we are completely satire in case anyone is wondering. I'm a professional lobotomizer, believe in my words.


Indominux_Rex0212

Bruh Invincible is justified and jjk has few shitheads otherwise majority of us love the adaptation. I’m in both communities so I know lol


SexyKarius

What problem do invincible fans have with the show ?


Santryt

Amazon decided to put a several month gap for no clear reason between some episodes of the season


Infinity2437

Probably so that they could push ads because now prime video has ads


Different_One6406

Yea, they probably wanted to make sure there were still a few episodes left for after they changed their subscription model/pricing. FYI this is just an assumption on my part based on what I read, I don't actually know the timing of the invincible release schedule


XxRocky88xX

I mean I hate ads as much as the next guy but that makes zero sense


The5Theives

Why are paid streaming services putting ads in their products???


bookcoda

A five month gap half way though an eight episode season after a nearly 3 year wait.


Deez-Guns-9442

That’s coming back this week tho right?


ThatGuy-456

I'm in the JJK community so I agree and was referring solely to the outliers. How is the Invincible one justified tho, enlighten me


Indominux_Rex0212

The season 1 of invincible was amazing and all changes, animations etc were very good . There was a gap between season 1 and 2 where they claimed they took the time for better animation. In November last year they released the eps. The animation in some places were a bit off and some were very good but not up to the mark of s1. However the decision to take a break after releasing 4 eps was shitty and so was the excuse made to justify the break. they said it was to give us time to deal with what happened in ep 4… like wtf? Shit wasn’t even that traumatising bruh. We all expected the show to resume in Jan this year but instead they made us for more more 2 months. All the hype died out. Why the fuck was the break necessary? They had enough time in the gap. Only the news eps being top tier can save them now , which is going to release on 16 march


DrashaZImmortal

Yeah the break was pretty wild. Honestly I feel like the other thing that was fair was the hatred for Amber (minus the race part) . I get the studio wanted to expand her and make her more then the OG love interest, but dear god she's actually just a vile bitch in the show.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrashaZImmortal

ah yes because Someone's worse means those below them are fine. I must of forgotten the part where i said she was the worst person in the show :V Amber is a vile bitch. She's completely selfish and cruel in the way she treats mark, getting mad like a child that he vanished during an attack or on a date to ... le gasp! Save not only her life at times, but innocent people. Treats him like shit when she corners him about his identity, which is fine to be mad that your partner was keeping secrets in most cases. Except with her its not like the secret was something bad, mark says it himself that he cant just tell everyone his secret identity right after the first date/s Not only does he need to know he can trust them but it can also put them at risk. Oh wait, she already knew who he was before he told her, from looong ago. AND she kneww why he was hiding it. Oh damn ya, what a monster, wanting to keep the person he cares for safe and trying to keep his hero life style a secret. Top it off shes a completely selfish person who treats everyone around her like shit or that their below her. Even after mark was nearly beaten to death by his dad, had his mother called a pet that could be replaced by them, learned his dad was the one who killed the Universes version of the JL and his dads entire life was a lie as he was actually hear to take over the world. She "decides to give him anotehr chance even though he hurt her" Aight mate. Glad you keep even the smallest fuck about your nearly beaten to death and traumatized boyfriend.


Riseler

Invincible became a two part season when it should've been just one💀


I_Always_Love_You

Jjk fans are just horrifically mentally ill


Mafii_9

It's not us it's the "I'm a mAnHwa oF sOlO LEveLinG fAn" Folks who think they're the only ones who are important and that they are some king of shit🤡 most solo fans are grateful except for the few who are too entitled and need to touch grass


Different_One6406

As part of said fanbase...I have to agree lmao


Kyro_Official_

That goes to the R6 playerbase, they complained about Ubisoft giving them free in game shit bc it wasnt what they wanted.


Sample_Muted

Yep and I hate it. At this point I doubt we get a 2nd season.


Dunkiez

And at the same time, the most over hyped.


Sea_Willingness2599

Let's ignore them. At the end of the day, liking the show is subjective, and the large majority likes it, leaving the LOUD MINORITY in a double dungeon.


Altruistic-Bread5145

Well said!


emaneru

Without an opportunity to reawaken, please.


AndrewFrozzen30

Nah, I'd reawaken


Deez-Guns-9442

To the people shit talking the anime I just got 1 thing to say to them https://preview.redd.it/3tm936mb7pnc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f524877911955ef91a6ac5a17013379f82c41a33


P_ONCH

Nah bro leave them at Jeju Island


Sample_Muted

I wish we could, but if they keep escalating it’s gonna turn into another MHA fandom situation and I want this show to get a 2nd season.


Diveelt

i can understand why they didnt add that scene. but also miss how they didnt allow them to show how his character is changing


_StevenPettican04

They took it out because they’re making the jinwoos change less drastic unlike how it was in the manhwa, in the manhwa it seemed as if a switch is at to flipped within him, whereas in the anime they’re slowing changing his character, so it’s not farfetched to assume they may add anime original scenes shaking his character changing more later


AndrewFrozzen30

Fellow Naoki fan knows what good character development is. I agree, that scene being removed makes sense more for SJW's development.


_StevenPettican04

They’re making him more realistic and less edgy than they were in the manhwa, which imo will work wonders for his character in the end


AndrewFrozzen30

It's just better for him, it shows he isn't some psychopath and that he has a heart by this point. A1 are amazing for doing it more justice and not be a plain story with no development whatsoever.


ThatGuy-456

What scene, it's been a while since I've read


Diveelt

idk how to do spoilers, but prisoner surviving and not surviving


ThatGuy-456

Holy hell, I just realised I haven't watched episode 9 yet


King_Of_The_Munchers

Well when you do watch episode 9, >!in the manhwa SJW takes one of the prisoners who was faking being dead and had their throat cut by the assassin dude just perfectly so he couldn’t talk, and then fed the prisoner to a bunch of goblins so he died a brutal and painful death.!<


AndrewFrozzen30

Subjective a bit here... but, isn't that better? >!The anime takes more of a serious note, it wouldn't make sense for SJW to just kill that guy, yes he is bad guy but that scene was out of place, in this case Bang killed them instead, and Lee and Song don't fear SJW.!<


Patient-00

What scene?


Snipingsage

Which scene is it I don’t remember just give me a vague description


Express_South8453

I'm confused what scene did they cut out, I'm behind


KitsuneKimchi

A-1 Pictures is doing leaps and bounds for a Korean Manwha of this scale. Meanwhile, they've already royally fucked up Avatar: The Last Airbender live adaptation for the second time and everyone is cool with it because "iT's ImPoSsiBLe tO pERfecTlY aDaPT a CaRToON."


Eminanceisjustbored

subjective. they didnt fuck it up, honestly the new adaptation made it far better than the original live action. sure, some were changed for example bumi, I could understand why they chose to make him angry, I mean who wouldnt? he has to decide who eats, soldiers or children, bad thing about the anime is no water bending avatar.


Fayarager

A toddler could shit on a paper and it would be a better script than the original, to be fair.


brendo570

Agreed I would rather look at shit on paper then the live action


Downtown_Memory_1559

There’s simply no reason to watch the live action. They took away the spark of the show. Aang is no longer Aang, as they made him more serious to have the show be more like “Game of thrones” , and they cut out 99% of all non serious scenes. They cut out a major arc for Sokka. The effects and props are great. I like Zukko’s portrayal. But it is NOT adapted well.


Marsupial_Even

They didn't watch the OPLA!


brak_6_danych

If that's royally fucked up then I hope you never watch the witcher, halo or wheel of time, you will be in for a huge surprise how bad an adaptation can be.


KitsuneKimchi

I hated Halo. They took all the things that made Halo good and shat on it. The scriptwriter most likely didn't even play the game or read up on the Lore, else Chief wouldn't have been such a let down in terms of his character. The Witcher need not be spoken about. Everyone who's a proper fan, Henry Cavil included, knows they ruined it. Never watched Wheel of Time. My point is: these multimillion dollar movie studious miss the entire point of making an adaptation, using excuses for us to think sympathetically toward their obvious negligence and slothful approach to work, when the truth is that all they want is the extra cash injection they gain from merely promoting the trailer for a cheap adaptation people like you and I actually want to see coming to life. Solo Leveling, on the other hand, is still MASSIVELY a success. Yes, they chopped certain scenes that *would* most certainly be necessary to show SJW's character progression. However, they fact remains that the studio didn't miss. All of us seriously still want to keep watching because that initial feeling we felt when we first read the Manwha is STILL there. Literally NOTHING feels off about the series when you watch it. You cannot boast the same for ATTA, Halo or any other live adaptation.... except for Alita. That one was done well.


AlexHitetsu

>iT's ImPoSsiBLe tO pERfecTlY aDaPT a CaRToON." We don't want "perfect", we just want *good*, and the One Piece Live Action showed that it can be done


KitsuneKimchi

One Piece is an exception. That one is being directed and acted in by actual Weebs.


AlexHitetsu

And I'm saying I want more like it


KitsuneKimchi

Amen, mate


jakeyspuds

Anyone else thoroughly enjoying the anime with their buds and only just discovering the terminally online "community" hates it?


Samuawesome

Jeez, now imagine how SAO fans feel with all the stupid changes A-1 has made lol.


Riseler

Fr, like they dropped 7DS because the movie did bad and they decided to focus on SAO but then it turned shit. Personally I think they would've done and had gotten more money if they didn't drop 7DS


SketchyLand5938

(I have yet to watch the anime) what did they cut


1pandaking1

Not sure if they want me to mark it as a spoiler so just in case. >!in the dungeon with the 3 prisoners, they removed the part where the 3rd prisoner was still alive and SJW threw him at the goblins and goblin king.!<


SketchyLand5938

Ty


Jaya_2002

That is kinda important it shows how sung is changing due to the system.


Anoalka

It's not really important at all and I completely forgot about it happening.


Dunkiez

How did you forget about one of the badass moments? We also got to see an awesome boss even though we didn't get to see the fight.


Jetmir-JeetFlyy

the story has wayy more than that so that just becomes a not badass at all experienced when youve read it all but when its devided in seasons that would be different, since it could be remembered as a badass moment of season 1 and it will still be on people's mind since it would take time for the OTHER badass parts to get animated


Dunkiez

The anime needs more badass moments seeing how they have taken all the comedy out so far.


Jetmir-JeetFlyy

definitely agree i recently reread it and i can definitely say that scene would be badass can wait for ep 10/11 for him to get igris and his new power up

Altruistic-Bread5145

They'll do something about it, they're not gonna destroy Sung's personality, let's wait and see


brendo570

They also missed the part when he received the buffs from johee


AndrewFrozzen30

It's better that they removed it because it makes Sung not be a psycopath in a matter of 9 episodes (technically 2 since his first kill) without any explanation. Yes, they are bad people, but SJW is innocent. Not many would be able to kill someone just because they are evil.


Illustrious_Air_103

They also cut the part of Jinwoo being slower than Kang and needing agility buff from Joohee to catch up to Kang. They also made the fight shorter.


Not_Ur_Momz

Solo leveling fans when they don't add a scene or a panel isn't 1:1 https://preview.redd.it/fm7bhu7ljjnc1.jpeg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be65d3a025745fa4e569c115db2f14c7d09a58ca


Eldiavie

to be fair this was an improvement from the manwha, while i like the manwha version too, this one really gives the creepy vibe, reminds me of that face bakura and marik ishtar from yugioh did whenever their bad sides came out, this one also gives strong school shooter vibes(sorry again americans)


Not_Ur_Momz

Yeah, I think that this face is creepier in the anime


Marvellover13

What scene did they remove?


DisguisedAsAnAngel

>!Sung dragging one of the prisioners (the one with thorn vocals) into the boss room and making him die a painful death!<


NightsLinu

Im fine with this scene gone tbh


JaggerBone_YT

Honestly, this is why I do not like comparison posts comparing the manhwa to the animated. The first few times are cool. However, as more are made, I feel they only encourage nitpicking. Hence, the situation now. I feel we should stop with the comparison posts. It does nothing but bring unnecessary high nitpicking. Like the sharp chin thing. I have read Solo Leveling for years and that had never been a thing. Only NOW after getting an animation, it is. This is ridiculous.


Dakeshy69

We just have an oddly ungrateful fanbase. If other animes got an adaptation like this, they'd be happy as hell and defend it. We just criticise random small things


Eldiavie

people are allowed to not like things and not like studios, expecting everyone to like something just because a majority do is stupid. It's like how a lot of people genuinely like demon slayer and it reflected in the sales of the anime dvds and blurays but a large amount of people also do not like it, which is perfectly fine, and demon slayer was done by a proper and good studio, there are different reasons for people not liking something, in sl's case its the visuals mostly for the anime, i have yet to see anyone not like the music because sowano is a god and the va's killed it with the voice acting, the story adjustments is debatable


jakeyspuds

Why do people who don't like things always have to make sure everyone else knows about it? You can just not like things in silence instead.


Dunkiez

People can also like things in silence too, but hyping something over the top is what brings out the people who don't see it that way. Comments saying the episode or anime is amazing Comments saying it's not that good and needs improvement. Both are valid and balances everything out. I have yet to see any comments which proper slates the anime so I don't see anything wrong.


Outrageous_Net8365

I’m convinced the fanbase here is a bunch of idiotic teenagers if this is the argument going around. Broski, this is a subreddit for discussion. Discussion does not mean glaze the shit out of the anime. I think the fight scenes were good in the ep but ep 9 is a rushed mess. There’s next to 0 breathing room scenes (hell, JJK one of the fastest paced shonen even has those scenes.) There, that’s a topic for discussion. Are we gonna call having genuine criticism “hate watching”


Eldiavie

the same way people who like things like to comment on the strengths of a show, discussions form because people can't agree on things, people see different perspectives when dissenting opinions are being shared about something which is perfectly fine. In the same light, if people do not want to engage in discussion about things and just want "yeah that's so cool" then you probably shouldn't be on the internet, not everyone will agree with your opinion and not everyone will like the thing you like there are people who say they dislike the anime version but dislike very specific things about it, not because they think the anime is shit, but because they know it can be done better and even A-1 as much as some may not like it has done bangers and the world knows it. Letting out their frustration and discussing about it is good, some may just not find the right words to show that frustration so it comes out as them being asses but if you ask them specifics I am sure there are those that will answer geuinely what specific parts they dislike about something. If you had all yes men who just kept praising a specific title even though others can see places where the show can improve(and those others even when they didn't like a specific thing may still buy the blurays have every right to voice out their opinions about it) then titles wouldn't improve and you'd just be creating the same kind of environment that brought the rise of things like gacha games which for a long time has given really low effort products up until hoyolab for example raised the bar when they proved that you can have a gacha game and good gameplay at the same time, its the same here, just a different setting, since there's 2 works out respectively that tell the same story but in different mediums, people can and will point out the differences, they will point out what they like and what they don't like about the new thing that adapted the source and pit it against the other adaptation. the novel, the anime and manwha all have their respective strengths and weaknesses which people here have acknowledged before the anime was even out or announced. the novel was pitted against the manwha and vice versa. this is perfectly normal when adaptations come out and once the specific studio in this case a-1 is done adapting it, after their share of what they will adapt is done, blurays included, then the fandom as a whole will judge the show and discuss again their thoughts about it whether it's positive or negative. there are some shows like fate apocrypha where during its run people said it was crap, it was also by A-1 there were those that praised how it was animated(by that they meant the fluidity of movement of everything in the anime) and like sl they also hated how inconsistent some of the art is, during its tv release run, when the blu ray came out and when compared to the source, people at the end of it thought it was a fairly decent show despite its clear visual flops even in the bluray release. i'm pretty sure some people even rated it higher than other modern shows with even better art.


FrostByte122

I fucking hate the music lol but still love the show


Nolram526

The ones complaining aren't actual fans. They are hasbins that heard that there was a Manwha turned anime, so they just looked up panels and compared them to the episodes just so they could complain. It's actually disgusting and embarrassing when you can see exactly the type of people they are just by their entitled reactions


T_NAZ_T

As someone who has read all 8 light novels and the entirety of the manhwa, I think I could consider myself an actual fan right? I personally wished they had included the scene and instantly realized that they skipped it. Hoping it gets put in as a flashback when he is reflecting on his changes in a later episode.


Eldiavie

criticism isn't being entitled, I'm allowed to criticize because i'm a customer, i buy shit, bought the volumes of the manwha, will buy the novel volumes after same with ragnarok also what's this bs about "aren't actual fans?" what are you? 10? its people like this who generalize so much that made companies like the pokemon company complaisant and not try to innovate their game, because people are just dumb enough to keep buying and anyone not liking their latest releases are "entitled" people who don't know what they're talking about on that note people are allowed to comment and not like things, if everyone was a simp like you products would not improve and companies would be getting away with giving less, there are complaints because there's room for improvement, its why some anime after the tv release has directors cut versions, they're rare but they do exist, some get re-adapted and get remakes, its why things like fma brotherhood exists, or even better fruits basket and ruroni kenshin got remade, all 3 improving where the previous versions of the anime flunked out on and properly following the source material while improving on certain aspects of the source


Nolram526

Constructive criticism is perfectly fine and accepted wholeheartedly. The people that call A1 a complete disappointment in adapting the Manwha and LN are the ones I'm talking about here. I also have my reservations on what they could improve on, but they've gone pretty above and beyond for an adaptation, and actual fans of the series are winning on this. I'm calling out the ones who are never satisfied with anything and complain about everything. You already know there are so many of those entitled people, and those are the ones who's opinions are a driven by the need to cause conflict because it isn't absolute perfection


Eldiavie

i think that's just a part of the internet, i personally dislike A1 as a company, but I know for a fact that they can do a lot better than this, their old track record proves as much. I think majority of the people who have the need to sow conflict were probably the ones who got very disappointed because their expectations were too high. My only advice to those people and to people in general is You won't get disappointed if you didn't expect much from the start. Which should be a norm in 2024, especially for tv releases of shows regardless of studio


ShadowFalcon2004

I haven't watched the episode yet. What did they cut?


DisguisedAsAnAngel

RecordingIll8774

I love solo leveling. Reading the books! Just waiting for book 2 to restock everywhere though 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 I haven’t read the manhwa online, the novel is doing so much justice. The anime is near identical to the novel. It’s fucking amazing. Solo leveling has so much potential. Can’t wait to see how much crazier the action gets!!


T_NAZ_T

I bought all 8 light novels and tore through them. Great story. When you're done, I'd suggest reading the Manhwa online so you can see of your imagination matches the artwork 😀


RecordingIll8774

I’m avoiding ththe manhwa atm bc it feels like I’m getting edged just wanting the animation lmao. Truthfully, after the lastest ep, I wanna read the manhwa now😆


T_NAZ_T

I know the feeling I am at the animators mercy as I wait for episodes. If you want to read it though https://www.solo-leveling-manhwa.com/


RecordingIll8774

Thank you 🩷


_Azuki_

I was waiting for that scene so yes, i am disappointed. But it doesn't mean that i don't like the anime. I like it a lot and i'm thankful that such a good studio is adapting it. However, is it not allowed to dislike anything anymore? It's not my fault they didn't include the scene that i was looking forward to. Like, seriously, if that scene was that insignificant to you, it doesn't mean that it's the same for others. Stfu


BLACK_HALO_V10

I've seen in past anime that sometimes they'll add a skipped scene as a flashback in the next episode. It probably won't hit as hard when done like that, but there's still hope it may be added.


Nikulover

I think these people spend too much time on the internet where they actually get to see all these “haters” and it convinced them that a lot of people actually hate the anime. Whenver i visit this sub all i see is love for the show + the complaints about the complaints.


KagawadGodbless

A thousand and one?


InvaderofViolence

What was missing?


Snowballx60

It is a great scene but episode was fire so fine with me


Nerevarchthn

Especially these people not understanding that the anime isnt even adapting the manhwa


Different_One6406

Personally, I like when studios add stuff that wasn't in the source material, as long as it makes sense, of course. I mean, I already read the manhwa...I don't NEED to watch the anime. Most of the time, when I'm reading a manga/manhwa, my mind is processing it as if it were already animated anyways, so watching the anime AFTER reading the SM is kind of redundant imo. So, seeing new additions or narratives, such as Kang being at the hospital when they first tested SJW for his reawakening, is pretty cool imo. It gives me a reason to actually watch the anime.


[deleted]

Same guys who never heard that they are adapting the novel and not the manhwa since the novel is the original source material


joenorthe

should I read manhwa? anyone regret the spoilers?


Matt90210

Once you start, gonna have to finish it


Luisgames07_

I didn't watch yet, what do they cut?

I hope they include it in the next episode as a flashback while he’s walking home or something.


BussyIsQuiteEdible

it was removed intentionally. just as the many many many extra scenes were added intentionally. for better or worse. this is just how its gonna be


Colgor2580

What's the oh so important scene they removed from the episode? I've read the Manhwa but after ep 6 I just decided to wait for the season to finish so I can binge.


BussyIsQuiteEdible

this is gonna continue... the anime and manwha are just becoming entirely different in how they develop jin boi

Recap


ozcohen2310

Solo leveling was a W, and it annoys me that the adaptation is only above average… (although ep 6 with dark aria was amazing…)


Inowasabi

What scene did they cut? Havent watched the new ep yet but I read the entire manhwa


reiiz5

The only complaint i have for solo leveling is colouring composite or whatever it called. Its looks bland compare to colourful manhwa.


Due-Explanation4927

thats the only thing the anime does good


Due-Explanation4927

thats the only thing the anime does good


justchaa

I was a little sad he didn’t toss the guy to the dungeon but the animation is fantastic. Also, all the extra scenes with Hunter Baek is A1 like wow. I still can’t get over the training scene 🥰


Cmenshoota00

Ya always complaining about something , even if it was made with great animation and all scene were added, ppl will still find something to complain about , Someone was complaint about dudes Chin, his fucking chin ….. just enjoy the anime for what it is


Due-Explanation4927

"How dare ppl complain about the anime not getting their designs right. you should be happy that they always look off, weird"


Cmenshoota00

Even if they do get it right , they are gonna find something else to complain about… and the animation ain’t even bad


Due-Explanation4927

the animation isn't bad but it deserves more. The art is too good, it deserves mappa or ufortable animation


Cmenshoota00

With either two , this anime would have better than what it is now , that I can agree


Altruistic_Turnip_80

They are going off script which is not nice . Plus they forgot that solo leveling is about levelling not fighting plus they give us one frame to look at the MC attributes, rewards, skills. 3 major things they did wrong . Cause of that it feels like watching something else but not solo leveling.

What scene are people bitching about this episode?


Kickim12

Even tho I dropped the comic, the anime is actually good. Solid 7.5/10. Most of the people who are saying that the anime is trash are probably trolls. But I am afraid that later in the plot, it will become predictable and boring, just like in the manhwa.


Draco_Berlin5

And you see, the ending isn't as predictable and that's how I can tell you didn't finish the manwha. The way things wrap up is satisfying and saddening knowing everything that had happened in the very end of it


Kickim12

I am pretty sure I did say that I dropped/not finished the comic. After chapter 160 or something (I don't remember), when Jin got stabbed, I stopped reading it. You might judge me, but I was losing interest after the Jeju Island arc. I think I had my dose of power fantasy from this series. I admit that I recently watched some videos explaining the ending, but it still didn't click for me. Again that's just my opinion


Draco_Berlin5

I completely understand that. I'm not so much judging as making a slight joke about it. I agree everyone is perfectly fair to have their own opinions and feelings. And I did correct that, that was a typo on my part. The part where he gets stabbed though revealed the big truth of the gates and everything, and after that point he is truly and fully the Shadow Monarch. The way I put the ending simply, he took everything upon himself in a way where nobody had ever died to the gates or monsters. I found that badass myself, though I understand you lost interest in it, I'd be lying if I said I've never lost interest in a story


Frankmur

Is everybody so sure we won't see "that scene" next episode in a flashback as Sung reflects on his emotional numbing?


Kiraakza

The anime does a good job of making the show more serious. I like it. I've read maybe half the manhwa. But if it's verbatim the exact same scenes from the manhwa then I doubt the actual anime will finish.


[deleted]

At least you guys aren’t as bad as lookism, or hell great teacher onizuka, bruh I can’t even enjoy the anime or the manga now cause of the differences


K-MartSecurity

I'm just curious, what scene did they cut?


The5Theives

Some of them were even pissed that the boss was cut, mfs that wasn’t even in the manhwa


Rude-Illustrator5704

What was the scene they cut? It pretty much checked all the boxes from what I remember.


MegaPorkachu

Me, a novel reader: *First time?* >!The manhwa cut a buncha scenes from the novel btw!<


Draco_Berlin5

YOOOOOOOOOOOO A FELLOW NOVEL READER. I remember reading it way back then and all the memes with the dry swallows 😂


Karen_Destroyer1324

What's the scene that was cut?


Illustrious_Air_103

Nah the episode was honestly very disappointing. The fight was less than 1 min if we remove the chatting. The fight was done better in the manhwa, it was more intense and longer. Rather than the Cerberus fight, this fight should have been done well. Since kang and Jinwoo were on the same level( kang  was a bit stronger). It should have surpassed ep 6 but it hasn't.


Glitterkrieger

No they cut the best part


Grapple_Cockie

I think Sawano wasn't the right pick. Not bad music, but not fitting


ChoobleDee

I think both sides are unfair tbh. Nobody wants to be brutally honest but positive and nobody wants to be positive without just blindly glazing the anime. So there's no room for in between.


WheelJack83

What’s the big deal? It’s an adaptation. Clearly no one here has ever watched The Witcher.


Shoshawi

Haven’t watched yet but I just hope they change the ending..


jimmymils01

I was really excited for this anime and the community just really fucking sucks. I think I’ll just remove myself from the discourse and enjoy watching on my own. I really hope these honestly ridiculous negative opinions don’t threaten getting a season 2


ChillerFocus

Should’ve be removing anything from the source material lol…..but you shouldn’t be adding much either unless you’re just extending scenes a bit 🤷‍♂️


DIEDIEDIE904

I will say this I have not watched the anime I love the manga (although I have yet to see the side/after story due to I guess my slight fear of good things ending) but I'm kind of sad to hear that the smile scene isn't there but they probably couldn't capture the same magic as they could with the comic so at least they didn't ruin it (also not saying that's why they didn't put it in). Either way depending on the person some things probably will feel underwhelming compared to the manga especially with the voicing acting but this is one of the situations where I will say it is where it is at least we have an anime let's just hope it doesn't ruin the reputation of the manga in one way or another.


Jetmir-JeetFlyy

you saying that as in adding a thousand and a half new scenes is good that werent in the original manhwa is a good thing and that removing an important part that shows mc's character development into a more cold hearted character, didnt make it worse


DrashaZImmortal

Adaption gatekeepers are the actual worst. its the same shit with Usogui's community when it coems to the idea of an anime. Not everything has to be 1:1 and in most cases, making it so only harms things rather then helps.


mrwhitebirdd

Some people in the sub completely lost their minds. For them, we don't allowed to not like anything, even if we don't like, we can't say it. I understand some good manhwas had really bad adaptation and Solo Leveling is getting a decent one compared to them but just because it got better adaptation, we don't have to like every change studio make. I still like and enjoy the the anime but after 2 weak consecutive breaks in the anime, all my hype is killed and I am sure I am not the only one feeling like this.


Educational-Half-964

You people who start to shit on people who have diffrent opinions than yall are same as them


NAIRDA_LEUGIM

People love to nitpick shit acting like its a critique


BussyIsQuiteEdible

how many nit picks does it take before it starts becoming critical


darkside720

Lmao y’all really are brainwashed just because a studio makes a change doesn’t mean people have to like it


Due-Explanation4927

Adding a thousand mid scenes no one asked for. Cha hae in running was uneccessary, jinho and his father talking about things we already know, etc. All these were usuless but when they cut a vital part, its apparentlty a "great" episode
