Solo Leveling. I think after seeing so many recommendations (and better animes) I expected too much of it. It's just a very basic Isekai with flat, tropey characters and boring art style. It has some really cool fight scenes, I'll give it that. Forced myself to watch the first season to the end in the faint hope it'll do something interesting, but nope.
I guess it's watchable if you're looking for a simple power fantasy and don't mind tropes.
Yeah that second season in particular. My nephew told me he was really enjoying it so I thought I'd watch it too so we could talk about it but damn. First season wasn't bad I like the world. But those characters just got worse and worse and worse. Second season is so one dimensional. It's just your standard power fantasy and the main character is so goddamn boring. He's a cringe character is what he is. Like zero self-reflection ability.
Manga it is based on is actually WORSE, the anime is decent in comparison
