@ItsSoraAP Of course cut Phantaminum and Urek's stories, Rachel's most important dialogue happened between her and Hwa ryun, the reason why Paracule was promoted, the training between Andorsi and Bam, some memories of Rachel's past, the reason so Yuri Zahard was on the 1st floor and helped Bam, the real sender of Ho's letter... and I'm not even halfway there, so to say that they cut out tiny things and that it was adapted well is the biggest bullshit I ever heard

@ItsSoraAP But what does it have to do with it? Even the live action of Death Note brought many people closer to the manga, but that doesn't mean it was well done 😂

I just started reading it(I already watched it a while ago) and it’s been the same so far, I’m not very far in though tbf. But I’m pretty sure s2 will have a better director and will have more episodes

Don’t know that it makes sense to call it one of the worst ever when things like Hakyuu Houshin Engi exist, or even The God of Highschool.

As someone who has read the source, this is a fine adaptation. They cut out some stuff but it was mostly irrelevant. Cutting out Bam and Endorsi's planned date was weird but fixable.

Are these haters actually real? Like how does this adaptation comes of poor or bad? It was drawn nicely and it has great osts as well. Compered to the manhwa art work its 10 times better. I didn’t had any problems with the direction either. Crazy how overhated this adaptation is.

J'ai toujours eu ce sentiment un peu étrange d'être comme extérieur à mon corps. Cette impression de flotter quelque part au dessus, ou d'être dans une salle de cinéma, assis au fond, en train de regarder un long film interminable et à attendre que quelque chose se passe. Cette impression de lutter pour devoir rester éveillé, cette envie d'attraper le personnage principal pour lui dire de se bouger, sans cependant pouvoir rien faire sans briser l'écran.

@ItsSoraAP Well of course they used 13 episodes to adapt 78 chapters, but obviously the next season will have hundreds of episodes to recover everything they left out and also adapt everything in the 2nd season of the webtoon... let's be realistic, come on, the adaptation did it sucks, especially for a story like tower of god where each chapter gives you a lot of information, having this bad management on the anime has only led to a disastrous result... and I could write you entire essays about the things that are wrong in the 1 season from the plot cuts, the bad characterization of the characters, the flat direction, the animations, etc... perhaps the only thing to really praise is the sound and the various musical soundtracks...

@Peenutz and what i hope also considering that when the 2nd season arrives we would have waited 3 years to see it... even if Tower of god should have a one piece treatment to recover all the chapters that are in the manhwa

on Goh, on the other hand, it's true that from a story point of view we had more cuts, but in terms of animation and direction it far surpassed Tog...

@mohamedo_abuduru Andorsi and Bam were the lesser evil, they cut a lot of other important things for the plot like the story of the irregulars Phantaminu and Urek, the whole part related to Ho's letter, Rachel's most important dialogue, the part about Paracule and I could list many more things...

Idk, I read the prologue (S1) and event though they cut a decent amount, if they adapted that amount of dialogue, most people would be turned off to the show. I really don’t think the early parts of the manwha were terribly interesting. Cut parts may make a cut adaptation, but that’s fine, as long as it’s a good anime.

Kevin Pankin’s existence also is the reason why the anime is better.

@Cyrose Bro they adapted 78 chapters into 13 episodes... that should tell you everything, and also amazing how you didn't talk about the story or the characters who are the ones who suffer the most in this adaptation 😂

@official_brown But what manhwa have they read to say it's not interesting? Of course, you don't understand much the first time, but when you re-read it you realize how those parts have quite an important relevance... moreover, if people really suffer from dialogue, why have shows like Steins Gate or Death Note received universal acclaim from the fandom? not to mention that Kevin Pekin can't save a disastrous season 1 just with his music (even if I've listened to better OSTs on the internet that are better suited to the webtoon)

@Peenutz 2 courses to adapt then up to where? because if they intend to include up to the laboratory battle, I don't think even 3 courses are enough to adapt all that part...

I heard a good stopping point would be around 100 chapters from where we are now. 3 cours is perfect to adapt that much. 2 cours not much

@amaricvv I'll make a list first:
-Irregular explanations (Urek and Phantaminum
-Appointment Androsi and Bam
-Rachel's dialogue
-Parts of Rachel's past
-Explanation of Ho's letter
-Part dedicated to Paracule during the hide and seek game
-Lack of explanation on what happens if you don't pass the 2nd floor
-Akryung's role completely skipped...
and probably other things that I don't remember now

They still have time to include this in S2 and whatever way they handle S2 I’m sure we’ll definitely get more info about Rachel. With a rating of 7.55 doesn’t mean it’s the worst, it’s pretty good.

@Kawaii_swan Stop taking Mal's scores as truths that don't count for anything... and also how do they want to include all the parts cut in season 1 when they have an infinite amount of things to adapt?
