| Absolute peak cinema! |
| how many girls are in this? |
     |
| It's not just the plot, they even copied Jinwoo's face. Bruh! |
| Lol, can't believe they're adapting this. Only read the first couple of chapters, but I enjoyed them more than Solo Leveling. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So would this be counted as aeni or anime? The staff is all Korean, so I assume the studio is too, and it says the JP version is a dub, but Kadokawa is involved, and it's airing on Japanese TV. |
  |
| Good news! Still, 400+ chapters, it won't be a complete adaptation, very sad. |
 |
| Jesus, the unoriginality but I get it. SL is to Korea what SAO is to Japan so ultimately I'll keep an open mind and watch it regardless. For all I know, it could end up being better than SL. |
 |
| Yall know that joke about copying your friends homework but slightly changing it so the teacher doesn’t know you copied? Yeah that looks to be what happened with Jinwoo and this MC 😂 |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Is anime finally going to start to adapting all the hunter genre webtoon slop? Koreas equivalent to Japan's isekai. For those unaware, you go to literally any webtoon site and the front page is littered with these. |

| @EcchiGodMamster Main cast? like two, there are a few others, mostly antagonists, one girl who is like somewhat an ally of the MC, but they don't stick around. |

I just read "Tomb Raider" and clicked thinking I'll get to see anime Lara Croft waifu. I am so disappointed.
| @Captain-577 I doubt they contacted the guys for this localization, but it definitely attracts attention, because my first thought was also "hey, Tomb Raider anime?!" Although I must admit, it's not as crude as a localization of an autumn anime about a vampire girl, lmao. @Punkero Is it just me or does Korean shonens often have a more male cast than typical Japanese ones? |
 |
| I don't see lara croft , I just see stereotypical overpowered black haired mc. Not interested |

| By the title alone I thought it was about Lara Croft and video game stuff |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Let’s see if this guy has more pointed chin than Jinwoo, who won the chin of the year 2025. |

| @Paul Oh great, just what anime needed more of. I get people say "Just don't watch it" but I can still criticize the unoriginality of these "Hunter" and Isekai shows. |

” Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms tax as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” That is Jesus, the son of Mary—the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” [Holy Quran : Chapter Maryam (Mary) : 23-36] |
| Just waiting for anime version of Lara Croft to show up. 😁 |

The administration should correct the information about the anime because they gave the Korean title and marked it as Japanese (in alternative titles). The main title of the anime is also Korean, and it should be in Japanese. Please correct these errors quickly.

I think that's just a MAL thing; according to their database guidelines, the original language title is what gets filled into the "Japanese title" box, since MAL is intended for anime and didn't account for Chinese and Korean titles. |
| Everyone's saying how this being like Solo Leveling is a bad things because it's "unoriginal slop" that will be very boring, but I do not think that will be the case. I for one will eagerly await the Solo Leveling vs. Tomb Raider King discussions with a bucketload of popcorn. Something else that is interesting is the studio and staff. This seems to be Studio Eek's first TV anime; I believe they have done some other work in the past though. Anyways, Studio Eek seems to be a Korean animation company and the staff seem to be mostly Korean talent, with some having previously worked in the Japanese animation industry. I could see this becoming like a donghua situation, where numerous skilled non-Japanese animators use the experience they gained from the industry to help establish a creative industry back in their home countries. I seriously welcome that; with webtoons becoming more and more popular, there will be a demand for Korean studios. Hopefully Studio Eek gives their best on this project, because they might be paving the way for many other young Korean animators to tell their own stories one day. |

| @Rimuru0001, let's hope. I also wait for season 3 of Solo Leveling, it is in production, I read about it in one of the staff's interview. |

| Never leaving the walmart Solo leveling allegations xD Jokes aside, the sudden surge in adapting a lot of webtoons kinda baffles me. |
| Meanwhile still no news for ORV |

| @Memore I really hope we get it before 2030 as some rumors suggest that we will likely get a movie before the third season. Solo Leveling is on another level man, and definitely deserves a full adaptation. |

Reply to llXenonll
@RobertBobert Even this season, which is currently airing, I'd say there are more than 20 anime with female protagonists.
| @llXenonll Did I say anything about the gender of anime protagonists in general? |
|
| Diet Solo Leveling, oh boy, so it begins. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| so people actually like this huh not for me tho Definitely not Hunter genre is the one thing I despise more than even Isekai The worst disease to ever infect Korean manhwas And I don't like ragebaiting even as a side gig those who'll watch this are the ones who wanna see more Jin-woo |
