Echo

NextUniverse★ 9

Maybe this will be the closest thing we get to a Solo Leveling anime. Despite disappointing realities, it seems the very existence of SL has managed to make for a great music video even with the lack of prominent animation and original scenes. It's really something else. Echo is one of the most catchy MVs I've listened to in a long while, going as high as other greatly acclaimed MVs such as Yoru Ni Kakeru. THE BOYZ really delivered by making a fitting OST for the webtoon, it's got everything from fire beat, ability to captivate attention, high rewatch (or in this case relisten) value, and, ofcourse, the crescendo into nothing but hype. It's a seriously good track and I honestly didn't think SL would go this far. But what can I say? I guess popularity wins. The actual MV itself is as I had mentioned before; lacks prominent animation and original scenes. But it was still made in a way that wasn't boring or anything like that. Sure it is a little annoying that there is not a lot of significant original work, but the animation still created an atmosphere that would have very much felt like something out of your typical high-quality shounen. It's great. But I wouldn't go expecting the world. Still enough to suffice. That's all from the MV to note about really. You can try to cope with the lack of an actual anime series for the webtoon with this and it'd be somewhat fine. Maybe one day we will get the adaptation everyone has been waiting for. Only time will tell.
