Hey Everyone!

Marvelous Marqui chose the Anime "So I'm a Spider, So What?" which is available on Crunchyroll.

Retro Raymond chose the animated show "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" available on Netflix.

I chose the show "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" available on Disney Plus.

And to cap it all off we review and discuss the latest episode (ep 4) of the Anime "Solo Leveling" also available on Crunchyroll.

"So I'm a Spider, So What?"

Action | Comedy | Fantasy

I, the protagonist, was just an ordinary high school girl, but suddenly I was reincarnated as a spider monster in a fantasy world. Not only that, but I awakened in a dungeon filled with vicious monsters. Armed with only my human knowledge and my overwhelming positivity, I'm forced to use spiderwebs and traps to defeat far stronger monsters just to stay alive... So begins the labyrinth survival story of a girl with incredible mental strength living as one of the lowest-ranked beasts!

He must prove himself and confront his origins once he discovers he too is a demigod, and will take off into the perils of pursuing enemies in search of the Underworld. With the help of his quest mates Annabeth and Grover, Percy’s journey will lead him closer to the answers he seeks: how to fit into a world where he feels out of place, if he'll ever see his mother again, and if he can ever find out who he’s destined to be.

Hey Everyone!

We're once again diving into the world of Anime with "Solo Leveling" which was just released this year in 2024! We also reminisce about all the older Anime we watched.

"Solo Leveling" a modern time action, adventure and RPG like story is based on a popular Manhwa (Korean comics/Manga) of the same name and written by Chugong.

***Spoilers*** for Episodes 1-3 as we'll discuss anything and everything within those released episodes so far!

Overview:

Ten years ago, "the Gate" appeared and connected the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. To combat these vile beasts, ordinary people received superhuman powers and became known as "Hunters." Twenty-year-old Sung Jin-Woo is one such Hunter, but he is known as the "World's Weakest," owing to his pathetic power compared to even a measly E-Rank. Still, he hunts monsters tirelessly in low-rank Gates to pay for his mother's medical bills. However, this miserable lifestyle changes when Jin-Woo—believing himself to be the only one left to die in a mission gone terribly wrong—awakens in a hospital three days later to find a mysterious screen floating in front of him. This "Quest Log" demands that Jin-Woo completes an unrealistic and intense training program, or face an appropriate penalty. Initially reluctant to comply because of the quest's rigor, Jin-Woo soon finds that it may just transform him into one of the world's most fearsome Hunters.
