Crunchyroll is the 20,000-pound gorilla in the anime world, and Sony owns a streaming platform hosting thousands of series and movies, which is essential for serious fans. That’s why when something causes a fire on the platform and becomes the next big success, everyone starts to pay attention. solo This was the best performance of the ribbon performance last year, and now, with the summary of Season 2, Isekai has re-topped the most popular series of Crucnhyroll, and has re-topped week after week.
Solo does this again
solo By making the entire world aware of the portal, the playback of the Isekai formula is available, which provide a portal to another dimension full of monsters and lead to a superhuman human soldier known as the Hunter, the only hunter who blocks the tide and saves the world. The problem is that, except for Sung Jinwoo, every hunter is locked on their “level” and power level, a pathetic, powerless, worthless E-Rank Hunter, the ass of every joke, who suddenly gains the ability to “upgrade” and become stronger over time. Video game mechanics play a central role in the plot, including the concept of mana (used to perform incredible magic feats), experience points, and in intelligent implementations, reverting to satisfaction when upgraded.
In Season 1, solo Take the time to explain all these concepts to the audience as Jinwoo develops his own strength and begins to rise up the ranks of hunters. Yoo Jinho is his D-Rank best friend, through dangerous raids, the betrayal of other hunters, and ultimately the amazing secrets behind their world and the origin of the “gate”. Season 1 has a lot of ground to cover, but it’s a downhill snowball and in the end, fans are even more fanatical.
The first two episodes solo Season 2 is Solo level awakening At the end of last year, in the theater, the Red Door Arc was brought to the big screen a few weeks ago. When the training mission with the White Tiger Guild fell into a huge mistake after the gate, they went through the red, trapping the party inside until the boss monster was defeated, Jinwo must assemble the survivors of the expedition to survive. The end result is a bleeding moment that shocks the rest of the guild members, even when Jinwoo hits a giant warrior, or even monsters.
Embrace the cool rules
When heroes like Luffy and Midoriya start to get so powerful, it’s hard to imagine anyone taking them away, leading to ridiculously powerful villains to compensate, so power scaling is a problem. solo Turning breaks down the concept of power expansion into plots, a big part of its appeal to tired anime fans. From episode one, when Jinwoo can barely lift his sword, by the time he says the word “appear”, the series manages to make every new power, weapon and ability a classic hype moment with the aid of amazing animations in the A-1 pictures.
The final episode of Season 2 will air on March 30, not even including the usual opening video, selling it with a bold marketing move too intense. It’s a fascinating marketing decision, but while the series can be subtle in some of its background clues and quieter moments like how “Healing All Diseases” can eliminate scars, it can’t solve any harm, it’s also bold in your face and no apology for it. solo The “Cool Rules” used with Jinwoo and all the hype moments make it a fast food piece in the anime world, compared to the more meaty series Paranoid Agent even Demon killerbut sometimes, that cheap burger hits you.
