   Over the weekend I watched both seasons of the anime SOLO LEVELING.   
   This anime is based around a world where portals started appearing   
   around the globe a decade ago. These portals lead to dungeons that   
   contain dangerous creatures. If they aren't closed by defeating the   
   boss within a week then the creatures can enter this world so there   
   are people who enter the dungeons to try and defeat the creatures   
   inside to close each portal. At the same time the portals opened there   
   were people across the globe who were found to have special powers   
   much like in DnD with some being tanky, others having command over   
   magic or fire and ice.   
      
   The story centers on a guy who is among the lowest ranked as a level   
   E. Others may be higher ranked and so much more powerful such as B or   
   A or the most powerful, the S ranked. The guy at the center of the   
   story is always getting hurt as the lowest ranked/least powerful   
   member of the teams working to clear each portal/dungeon. He keeps   
   going because he needs the money to help pay for his mother's medical   
   treatments.   
      
   Something happens in one portal where many members die and he is left   
   to die only to find himself waking up in the hospital. Strangely   
   enough he sees this apparent computer screen opening up that only he   
   can see that says he has been chosen as the player. The screens keep   
   giving him quests that allow him to grow in power and abilities even   
   though he stays as a low level E rank. Something that no other player   
   is able to.   
      
   I also got in the first episode of BERLIN STATION, which appears to   
   open with the death of the main character but then goes back in time   
   to show how we got there. The premise is that someone is leaking CIA   
   secrets to a reporter in Berlin. A CIA analyst figures out something   
   about the leaker which ends up having him sent to Berlin to track down   
   the source of the leak.   
      
   What did you watch?
