When The Anime is Written For 14-Year-Olds 

Check out Curious Beginnings (Salvos) here: www.amazon.com/dp/B08SQD1DLR Here's the webcomic: tapas.io/series/Salvos-comic/info

Wait, is that SALVOS? Holy shit, I didn't expect to see an ad for Salvos. One of the most underrated manhwas I've ever read.

Sung jin woo is basically the new Patrick Bateman syndrome

So... Guys the thing is i'm not a 14 year old kid. But this is not going stop me from watching the thing. Just enjoy the thing that gives you happyness.

1:32 take "I'm a spider so what" out of that list she suffered the most from eating her spider family to getting allot of near death experiences

It has a different feel. I readed manhwa a lot of times. The thing about Solo leveling is. It's not stopping. A short time since my friend started watching the anime and i sayed him "you need to read the manga first". After saying this, on the metrobus on the way home from work, i opened on my home and started re-reading again. and you can't stop the reading. That's why solo leveling is so good beacuse you can't stop. It always progresses by improving.

As a 17 year old who has too much stress,this anime is amazing and new favorite anime is frieren

People need to stop going on like anime is some transcendent thing that when you watch , your entire existence will change , saying that it isn't a cartoon . The word anime is the shorter word for the Japanese word animēshon , which literally means animation or cartoon ( WHICH MEANS BY THAT STANDARD, SPONGEBOB CAN BE CONSIDERED AN ANIME ) . And I'm not an anime hater , I have always loved anime ,and I understand it has its own culture , but it is literally a Japanese cartoon . I hate when people try to seem as though they are this profound intellectual who understands the intricacies of Anime . Saying that anime brings this " grounded " sh!t , like Avatar The last airbender , adventure time , etc , didn't do the same thing .

2:43 "There were smurfs on the enemy team." That destroyed me XD

I just hope Omniscient Readers Viewpoint get the chance to be animated (and hopefully well animated), I couldn't bear to keep reading solo leveling after the ants arc but ORV got me hooked from the beginning and still hooks me every chapter of the web novel. If ORV get well animated it'll probably be my next favorite

the title of this video is the only argument i needed to watch this anime

I am 37 and the show gets me really excited and my adrenaline up. And a lot of it comes from the great animation and the stellar Sound Effects & Music! It's the soundscape that turns it into such a delightful experience!

Webtoon reader here: this is the SAO that everybody wanted. The MC gets some of the coolest powers and abilities I've seen in anime, on top of being basically as strong as One Punch MAN. It's a power leveling masterclass that is honestly quite shallow in terms of the overall story, but damn if it isn't an absolute ball to read and watch XD

when i saw him say "WATCH ME IM FAST" i was like ok whats funny THEN HE LOST HIS LEGS AND I WOKE UP THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM LAUGHING

2:43 i am rolling on the floor right now 😭

This channel grew so much. Congrats karu! 100k is a realy big milestone. Was here since 10k

Why does every anime ui look like fake master-duel 💀

the only reason I want this to succeed is cause I'd like to more see manhwas that I like get anime adaptation

Congrats on 100k And honestly, Solo Leveling is definitely gonna be top 10. No doubt about it.

"there were surfs on the enemy team" that fking killed me XD

The term of "they had smurfs at the enemy team" got me good dude. Literally choking my pasta while watching it

As a 14 years old, I do enjoy Solo Leveling

When I read the manga,I was FUCKING hooked immediately and when I found out there's an anime I was hyped as shiiiiit

Congrats on 100k!!!!! Been here since that one blue lock video and watching this channel grow like this makes me genuinely happy. Great video as usual, keep up the good work!

Solo Leveling's dub is also good.

you know its a good day when karu uploads

I mean...the story gets a little more complex with time, it's not ultra deep, but still well written (except for the last fight :v) i've been waiting for an anime of Solo leveling for SO LONG and MAN, DOES IT DELIVER

I'm excited for your next video. Because it will be your first video after reaching 100k subscribers.

congrats on 100k gang

There isn't an anime this season that doesn't cater to it's MCs every whim- Boy, have you seen Weakest Tamer? That kid is being hunted by her family and has a list of traumas a mile long that the people around her want to help with, because she's NINE and shouldn't have to deal with it, but can't because her family made her distrust people. She is not OP, she barely survives half the stuff she's forced through, and yet she tries her best and thankfully for us all it's worked out for her so far. Her ONLY wish is to find someone to trust and she literally CAN'T. Sorry for the rant, but yes, there is a show like that on this season, and yes, everyone who watches it collectively agrees to protect Ivy with our lives.

CONGRATS ON 100K🎉🎉🎉

can confirm as someone who hasn't read the manhua *YET* for the show? I felt the pacing was perfect, it didn't feel rushed, it felt inclusive like it wanted you to be involved and invested in the story. every week I'm excited for a new episode even though it does seem 'slow going' because i know there will be just as much investment as the previous episode. (Also love looking to the comments on crunchy roll and seeing the memes the manhua readers elude to than seeing it the next week)

what a coinsedence, im actually reading Salvos righr now. good stuff

Another great review from Jeff, I can always trust you

its funny to see his chin grow from ep to ep

Novelwise i preferred "so what i'm a spider" to solo levelling, that girl was a beast, i read both novels before the manga even showed up, one got an insane manga adaptation, the other was screwed over, even the spider anime was idk, but the novel was OP af. Plus she worked her ass off, evolving was a pain, she had to evolve to godhood levels to get a fully humanoid form

one of the isekai anime i really liked and wish got more was grimgar of fantasy and ash. i feel it actually did something interesting with the isekai plotline and kept the characters grounded and human, not making them all OP in 2 episodes, hell, the start is them getting their ass beat by like one goblin... theres like 5 of them.

fun fact: Finished reading the whole manhwa of this anime and it's pretty friggin awesome ride to wait then read the newest chapter or volume overall, I love every single thing that was shown from the manhwa itself I hope there will be more new seasons of this anime bc on the manhwa, they've only shown like 10 percent of the content from the manhwa itself

babe wake up karu posted

Congrats on 100k. About time huh

Yk it’s boutta be a good day if Karu posted.

Hey, love your videos . I think you would like mushishi it's a really nice quiet supernatural story and on the other side for fast pace story blood blockade battlefront it's from the same guy how did Trigun and the English dub is great. Keep up the great work.

0:44 damn i remember salvos when it was first posted on RR, i never expected it to get this far!

I got a solo leveling game ad while watching this

If I had a dollar for every non-isekai on Karu's generic isekai spread, i'd have at least 5 dollars

ah i remember following the fan translation of the solo levelling novel back in like 2018. good times

Your vids and commentary are just top tier

cant wait for the anime of lotm to come out I'm so sam hyped for it

Let people enjoy what they enjoy without shaming 🗿

Salvos mc looks like that one snail that you play in flash game as a child💀

I was about to comment to watch solo leveling before you said solo leveling💀

i cant wait till they get to the late game of the series when the monarchs fights because watching god level creatures all fight eachother will be good

i think i will sit out the anime and the manhwa

OMG I love Salvos so much. It was my second manhwa after Solo Leveling, and it's so good.

The part where he sang the spongebob theme song made me laugh so hard.

wow salvos i remember dis one

I am 24 and let me tell you this , Solo Leveling is the peak of power fantasy anime . Solo leveling isn't an isekai .this is a power fantasy. It is 100 times better than 90 percent of isekai anime's out there . Sung jin woo is 100 times more badass , better written , better drawn and more interesting than a lot of isekai protagonist . Some people say it is this generations SAO but it is better than that . Solo leveling is watched by people who don't care about 'INTRICATE STORYTELLING OR IN -DEPTH WORLD BUILDING"" . People forget that a majority of the anime watchers want to get away from real life by watching anime. People dont always want amazingly written anime . I have seen so many Adults like me that absolutely love Solo Leveling . Its not trying to compete with any amazingly written anime . Solo Leveling knows it's target audience and it delivers all the time . So Far , everyone I have seen give an opinion on this show say that they love Solo Leveling and Its peak and they are all ADULTS NOT A BUNCH OF 14 YEAR OLD TIKTOK KIDS .

The manhwa is so sickkkk

If yall wanna read more manhwa, legit just go on Asura scans or Reaper scans, much better UI then most others.

Yo quick question, what font do you use for your videos?

100k almost!! Congratulations In advance.

Bro's chin is so sharp - even for anime standards - it should be a A class weapon Also the animation of the Op and Ed is insane. Hopefully we get some good Sawano bangers from this show.

Where is your review about Jujutsu kaisen season why 2? I think it's already finished airing

Bro I read salvos as it came out I didn’t even know it got popular like that 😭

Great review

What do you mean no such anime on this season? Did you forget? One Piece is always an option :D Good story, good writing, AMAZING world building, and EVEN MORE AMAZING Characters! And it's always in the Ongong section waiting for you to watch it! ^_^

Holy shit, Salvos jumpscare. Read that book when it first started

As someone who read the manhwa I thought the pacing was really slow, but finally we're about to get the ARISE episode and now I'm ok :)

As someone who has read the graphic novel, twice now (recently to refresh my memory) it has some real banger stuff. The ending is perhaps a slight cop-out but the anime... it really misses and it's going to finish before jinwoo even gets into the stuff I wanted to see animated in THE FIRST PLACE!! they've moved some things around and fill in some episodes with crap, hell they wasted an entire god damn episode on a catch up. I am so mad at how poorly they handled this, could have easily given us 20 + episodes but nooo. They took three episodes just to do the first important scene and then another two for a tiny unimportant fight when he unlocks his first personal dungeon. That drove me crazy. What did hit different was his fight against the demon dog gatekeeper thingy in the demon dungeon. That was absolutely brutal.

its just one of those animes where you can like just see a weak guy then he becomes an op guy that kills everything and get even stronger

7:38 Well this comment aged poorly. Episode 8. You almost had it man. You were right about everything else.

If a anime gives me that level of hypeness in every week then i will gladly be a kid and enjoy that shit

ok i gotta say sun did show that he kinda earned his power but they show it even more later so trust the process the anime is nice i fucking loved the manwha

I didn't even know it said the exact seconds after coming out

It’s not doing anything new, but what it does it does well. I thought the first episode would end with the smile. It’s what everyone knows from it and it would have been a great cliffhanger. But we also can’t say how good it really is before we see the shadows

Salvos sounds like spider isekai

holy shit salovs is doing youtube sponsorships?

bro i love solo leveling so much it's so absurd how JinWoo just becomes hot overnight and then starts killing people and even start to enjoy it. Love me a psycho MC. I love the soundtrack too.

oh brother here we go again

The old uhhhh, MC actually looks cute idk why they changed it later on....

did you know Nito's Lazy Foreign World Syndrome?

1:32 I WAS going to spend my time defending some of the isekai on your list, then realized you're completely right.

6:55 song name. I can't find it

The way they incorprate the reasoning behind their special powers and the gaps between them into the story is one of my favorite parts about the series as a whole, it reminds me of From Software's design philosphy like how the whole healing mechanic is actually part of the entire story with it just being little snipets of the fire so coveted in its universe. Just a cool little detail that I dont think gets appreciated enough tbh. *SPOILER WARNING* Also I really loved the idea that the exsistance of hunters, and why they couldn't get stronger was because their power wasn't just given to them on a whim it was accidently brought down to humans because of two clashing forces in another universe of strength compared to humans. Like so strong that just because they were in the same universe as them humanity actually gained the power to wield magic and surpass the limits of humans.

Salvos is great, never thought following a demon could be so damn funny. The novel is better than the comic tho IMO.

Viral hit is also getting an adaptation

This could probably be the new SAO for this generation lol

just wait for the cour 1 finale

Karu what mic do you use?

Loved your videos yeah i feel like solo leveling is generic battle shonen with great first second episode

I read the manwha so i was so happy for this

What’s the anime at 7:47? Please tell me if anyone knows I will watch it

CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ABOUT SERAPH OF THE END

I'm a spider so what, was also a really nice series similar to this genre.

i read solo leveling three times, because its hype. Sure its a power fantasy, sure there isn't emotional questions, and sure it lacks creativity. But when did every piece of media have to become a philosophical question of who you are. People need a break from life, and an over-the-top, bombastic, and utterly action packed series is enough to do that.

7:45 What is this? Looks really clean!

The manhwa only gets good in chapter 45, it was so boring before but after, oh man it’s worth it 🔥

Thumbnail change?

I personally much rather prefer frozen player returns over solo levelling, the light novel just finished a month or so ago, it's a great read. The manhwa for it is currently around the 100 chapter mark and as the story progresses you can really see the toll all the regressions are having on Seo jun ho

karu do u think tower of god is similar to solo leveling except the isekai part (I'm trying to prove a point to a friend)
