Notes for Solo Leveling episode as I watch
-Opening sequence felt very fast paced and sporadic. Also animation quality varies, you get some nice shots and a lot of really bad ones mixed
-End of the episode does not particularly fix the issues of the first cour of the ep

Fans complained about the fast pacing of the animation and how the frame quality was not at all praiseworthy. Some fans even pointed out that the manhwa is much better than the animation, and they prefer it over the animation. Some fans even suggested that another studio would have been better forSolo Leveling’sanime adaptation.
Fans were worried that if this continued for the series, it may result in a significant drop in the popularity ofSolo Levelingand would hurt the legacy of one of the most anticipated anime series of 2024. But it seems like episode 5 has made amends for the mistake it made in the previous episodes.

Solo LevelingEpisode 5 Surpasses All Expectations
Episode 5 ofSolo Levelingbrought with it an insanely jacked Sung Jinwoo, who has been training and evolving for the past few days. His body transformation, while he was in the hospital, not only got noticed by the nurses of the hospital but also by the anime fans.
In just one episode, Sung Jinwoo had a total change from a timid individual to a physically built-up character. Also, the episode focused on Sung joining an attack team that went on to conquer a Class-C dungeon but turned out to be crooked and left Sung in the dungeon against the final boss. Their excavation in the dungeon featured a great animation that was also appreciated by the fans.
