A good number of reviews I've read of the source novel was that the story had an interesting premise and beginning, but with poor execution, flat characterisation, forgotten side characters etc. leading to a disappointing ending. Consensus is that the main reason the webtoon got that much acclaim to start with was due to Jang Sungrak's art. I assume a lesser artist would have led to Solo's webtoon being far less memorable (which is something I've noticed with Korea's webtoon industry; sometimes you get complaints that the original novel was amazing but that the webtoon art was ass, which really diminished readers' enjoyment.) |

Saw the first episode today.
Pretty good stuff at introducing some of the main characters although disks currently says it will just be 12 episodes (maybe it's a split cour or similar Tower of God case). Still, I think it was a solid start in terms of chereography, animation, and direction. Some of the scenes in the previous advertised promos were also in the first episode. Seeing Cha being animated was a wonderful sight.

I guess. I can't even put into words what it is. But I have not been so thoroughly unimpressed with a first episode in quite a while. Like I can't even imagine what the manhwa would have that would impress people so much.
Maybe if I give it a few more episodes I can figure out what irks me so. Oh, one thing I really do not like in stories is characters explaining stuff to each other that they by all rights should already know. Or characters having internal monologues explaining their life story to the void. There's more organic ways to do these kinds of things. Other than that, for some reason I just felt... Nothing. Which is kind of the worst feeling to have when watching an anime. |
