Can you imagine having access to your favorite video game as yourself without having to use an avatar? That was the impression that the series Solo Leveling left on me after watching its two full seasons. I mean, I couldn't stop thinking about that situation, which is why one of the things that impacted me the most was its first episode in the first season. It was different from other anime I've seen, and believe me, I've seen too many and none compare. The fact that they present this brilliant main idea, where you can see an entire universe as if it were a futuristic, or rather, alien, video game, was cool to me.
驴Te imaginas tener acceso a tu video juego favorito siendo t煤 mismo sin tener que usar un avatar? Esta fue la impresi贸n que me dej贸 plasmada la serie Solo Leveling luego de ver sus 2 temporadas completas. Es decir, no pod铆a dejar de pensar en esa situaci贸n, por lo que una de las cosas que m谩s me impact贸 fue su primer episodio en la primera temporada. Fue totalmente diferente a otros anim茅s que he visto, y cr茅anme que he visto demasiados y ninguno se le compara. El hecho de que planteen esta idea principal tan genial donde puedes ver un universo entero como si fuera un video juego futurista o mejor dicho, alien铆gena, me result贸 genial.

Another aspect I must highlight is the fight scenes. Each one of them was masterful. I also couldn't help but feel some nostalgia when I saw the evil smile of that giant statue that I can't get out of my head to this day, and that reminded me a bit of the Machiavellian smile of the giants in Attack on Titan. It was a macabre, terrifying, and extremely stressful scene for me; the truth is that at a certain point, I didn't know what was going to happen there. On the other hand, Jinwoo's evolution from Season 1 to the drastic change in Season 2, I still don't understand why it happened, and also why he can continue leveling up when the others have already reached their maximum. Did an expansion with those portals come out with him? (馃ぃ I know it was a bad joke 馃ぃ).
Otro aspecto que debo resaltar son las escenas de las peleas. Todas y cada una de ellas estuvieron magistrales. Adem谩s no pude evitar sentir algo de nostalgia al verle la sonrisa perversa de esa estatua gigante que no logro sacar de mi cabeza hasta el d铆a de hoy y que me record贸 un poco a la sonrisa maquiav茅lica de los gigantes de Atack on Titans. Fue una escena macabra, terror铆fica y sumamente estresante para m铆, la verdad es que en cierto punto no sab铆a lo que iba a ocurrir all铆. Por otro lado, la evoluci贸n de Jinwoo de la temporada 1 al cambio dr谩stico de la temporada 2, sigo sin entender a qu茅 se debi贸 y tambi茅n por qu茅 puede seguir subiendo de nivel cuando ya los dem谩s llegaron a su punto m谩ximo, 驴es que acaso con 茅l sali贸 una expansi贸n con esos portales? (馃ぃ lo s茅 fue un mal chiste 馃ぃ).

Here, the series shows that no matter your size or how physically strong you appear, what counts in the end is strategy, like a game of chess. Sometimes you have to sacrifice fundamental elements or pieces to ensure victory, and that's what was shown to us throughout 25 episodes. Jinwoo's change was not only seen on a physical level but also an intellectual and human level, because at a certain point, he put aside his essence to obtain more power. His personality change was so great that it reminded me too much of the atrocious acts where he not only quenched his thirst for more power but also manipulated other players in his favor, adding extra benefits in unexpected ways. That's why I see this protagonist more as a villain than a hero, and I intend to maintain my opinion until proven otherwise in the following seasons.
Ac谩 la serie demuestra que no importa el tama帽o que tengas ni la fuerza f铆sica que aparentas tener, lo que vale al final de todo es la estrategia, como un juego de ajedrez. A veces debes sacrificar elementos o piezas fundamentales para asegurar la victoria y eso fue lo que nos demostraron a lo largo de 25 episodios. El cambio de Jinwoo no s贸lo se vio a nivel f铆sico sino tambi茅n intelectual y humano, porque en cierto punto dej贸 de lado su esencia para obtener m谩s poder. Tanto fue su cambio de personalidad que me record贸 demasiado a los actos atroces donde no s贸lo saciaba su sed de obtener m谩s poder sino que manipul贸 a otros jugadores a su favor, agregando beneficios extras de manera inesperada. Es por eso que a este protagonista lo veo m谩s como un villano que como un h茅roe y pienso mantener mi opini贸n hasta que se demuestre lo contrario en las siguientes temporadas.

I can't end my post without adding that the last episode of the second season was epic. I'm eager for the third season to come out, and the episode where Jinwoo managed to deliver the health potion to his mother was memorable. To conclude, I can say that this series pushes the protagonist to his limits, with highs and lows, or drastic changes in his personality that make the viewer doubt whether he's bipolar or whether, by gaining so much power, he's left his humanity behind forever. I've had many doubts since the second season, and my expectations are sky-high for the third. In the meantime, I'm going to settle for the Kimetsu no Yaiba movie, which is about to be released while I wait.
No puedo terminar mi post sin agregar que el 煤ltimo episodio de la segunda temporada fue 茅pico. Estoy ansioso de que salga la tercera temporada y el cap铆tulo donde Jinwoo logr贸 entregarle la poci贸n de salud a su madre fue memorable. Para concluir puedo decir que esta serie lleva al protagonista a sus l铆mites, con picos altos y bajos o cambios dr谩sticos en su forma de ser donde pone a dudar al espectador si ser谩 que es bipolar o por obtener tanto poder dej贸 atr谩s su humanidad para siempre? Tengo muchas dudas desde la segunda temporada y mis expectativas est谩n alt铆simas para la tercera. Mientras tanto voy a conformarme con la pel铆cula de Kimetsu no Yaiba que est谩 por estrenarse mientras espero.
