Get Ready for “That Only I Level Up” – The Anime of the Year (If We Say So!)
Ah, the world of anime is buzzing, and it looks like we’re about to experience a level-up ourselves! “That Only I Level Up” (or as the cool kids say, #OreLevel) is set to hit the screens on TOKYO MX and other channels from January 6, 2024. Talk about a new year present that I actually want!
A Phenomenon in the Making
Now, this isn’t just any regular run-of-the-mill anime folks. This is based on a stirring tale written by Chugong, and if you haven’t heard of it yet, you’ve probably been living under a rock—or worse, without Wi-Fi! The graphic genius DUBU from REDICE STUDIO has brought this gripping storyline to life, racking up a staggering 650 million views on manga and novel services like Piccoma in Japan. It’s a bit like that viral cat video, but with swords and shadow soldiers!
What Can We Expect?
The release of the anime also comes with a special treat – a limited screening of the “ReAwakening” trailer in theaters starting November 29. Because who doesn’t want to be *that* person commenting on anime trailers during family gatherings? The tagline, “He was the weakest,” speaks volumes – it’s almost as if they’re foreshadowing my own workout journey!
Say hello to Shun Mizashino, our “humanity’s weakest weapon,” who, thanks to some good old-fashioned anime magic, transforms into a powerhouse who can actually level up. That’s right! Who needs a gym when you have the power of imagination and a quick click to the next episode?
Powerful Battles and Shadowy Adventures
Now, onto the juicy stuff! The trailer gives us a taste of high-speed action and intense battles. Equipped with a newly acquired powerset, Shun is about to lead his shadow soldiers (because what’s cooler than having minions?) against formidable foes. The animation promises to be as stunning as my last haircut—because I always seem to underestimate my barber’s enthusiasm with the razor!

Season 2: Coming in Hot!
And just when you thought it was over, they’re already teasing Season 2, set to launch in January 2025! Expect epic battles and character development that rivals any soap opera—yes, even better than the last time I tuned into “Days of Our Lives.”
For those not in the know, the story kicks off a decade after “gates” to different dimensions open up around the world. Our hero, Shun, sleeps for ten years (remind you of your teenage son?), until he wakes up to find he can actually level up in a world where that was impossible. It’s like discovering your inner superhero while still living at your parents’ house and bingeing Netflix on the sofa!

《Season2 Story》
It has been more than ten years since “gates”, the passages connecting different dimensions and the present world, have appeared in various parts of the world. The battle between humans who have awakened to superhuman powers called “hunters” and the monsters that reside in the dungeon inside the gate continues. Originally, a hunter’s abilities do not grow after awakening, and their rank does not change.
However, during a raid in a double dungeon, Shun Mizashino, a low-rank hunter who was known as humanity’s weakest weapon, obtained the power to “level up” himself, and was able to use it in battle. Increase your power.
After clearing the job change quest and obtaining the job “Shadow Lord,” which allows him to subjugate shadow soldiers, Shun acquires the material of “Sacred Water of Life,” which has the potential to cure sick mothers. In search of it, he throws himself into a new battle.
