What happens when the weakest hunter alive is chosen by a mysterious system that lets him grow stronger without limit? Solo Leveling is a sleek, brutally satisfying ascent from underdog to unstoppable force as Sung Jinwoo claws his way through dungeons, monsters, political plots, and his own mortality. With jaw-dropping fight animation, sharp worldbuilding, and a protagonist who transforms in every sense of the word, it’s a modern action masterpiece built for hype.

The salt and pepper senpai, Brendan White is joined in the Riverside Studio by our second returning guest, Anthony from the What Do You Think About This? podcast, to share their thoughts on what might possibly be the biggest anime of 2024, Chugong and A-1 Pictures fantasy adventure, Solo Leveling.

At Sakura Society, we’re here to help you decide if this monster-slaying phenomenon deserves a spot on your watchlist — and your top-ten list.

As a friendly FYI, this episode will be a full deep dive on episode one, titled "I;m Used To It", so be ready for spoilers.
