Am I the only one, who feels like that this is super overrated by Manhwa fans? I genuinely feel like that they are either promoted or sponsored to rate this high. Even if I exlude all other things just the animation and artstyle already drops the anime atleast at 5/10 for me.

I'm sorry us webtoon readers got pretty excited by the release. We might have overrated it a little bit but it just keeps getting better and that's for sure.

I agree it is a bit overrated. The manhwa especially. But it's not bad, I actually did like the first episode which is a shock.

So far it aint an 8.21 or whatever it is now but I've been around the block enough to know that's just how scores work on this site.

I agree that the readers hyped it way too much like it was the second coming of Jesus Christ but it's just the first episode, maybe it will get better as they say.

The first episode was a 6/10 at best personally.

In my opinion it started really average? Like, I understand the hype because you don't get everyday an anime adaptation of a manhwa but to be sincere the animation was really weird.

I'm not saying it's super bad but the colors are kind of hard to watch, specially the green tones. Also, I don't quite get where the story develops like the background doesn't say much and you can't really tell where they exactly are.

I'm not a manga reader but just watching episode 1 I have to say it left me with a tiny sour taste in my mouth. I hope it gets better and I'm confident it will.

Let's all just calm down for a minute and wait until at least the fourth or fifth episode has been released before we start criticizing or praising this anime. It does not matter if you have read ahead of its source material because this adaptation could be horrible.

Honestly, I am angry with webtoon fans. Do rating manipulation only on your fan site. The rating on imdb is now 9 out of 10. Higher than Stein's Gate or attack on titan. are you kidding?

I think the "over"reaction is normal given how this anime was something almost impossible for us, readers. The news is recent, there is already the anime, anime of a manwha webtoon, that's a first, this explains the hype.

And given the first episode, keep in mind that this anime is only an adaptation. The first episode rushed many things, and the pace will be the same if there is only 13 episodes like what everyone are saying.

So, the anime has high chances to be better as a reader who know already the universe than a newcomer who will not be able to grasp totally why people love the story so much.

Why is everyone so obsessed with having an opinion? How many of those threads do you peoples need to open asking the same damn question?? And it's always peoples who barely read any manga or comics? You gather like a bunch of flies on a pale of crap, thirsty to attack the things other peoples are excited for from the first episode. Are you all so pathetic and hated by your own parents that you have nothing better to do with your time?

No is not overrated... I never read the comic, it was something that I forgot in my ''must read'' for close to a decade... Yeah, you heard well, a fucking decade. In the end I never started reading this one, I read many others, and I forgot how many times I heard Tower of God being praised. This comic has been topping the popularity charts since 2010. Web comics, were barely becoming a thing at the time. Tower of God is not good because it has an amazing first chapter, is good because it apparently built an amazing story over the course of 10 years. And none of you is so fucking amazing that can judge it or predict how it goes from the first episode. Will this anime be amazing? Probably not... Web comics have a different flow than manga, and it will take time before studios will understand how to do a proper adaptation. But if you morons don't want to bother reading the comic and see what's the hype about, then go fuck yourself, you have no right to call it overrated.

So I hear, that's why I am watching the anime. Giving it a second chance 8 years later.

Plus I hate reading comics digitally so that probably inhibited my enjoyment for sure but who knows.

First. I am not critizing manwha since I did not read that I am only judging the anime and yes, I can say it is overrated atm after only one episode. It is super confusing nothing that should attach me to watch the rest + that low budget animation/art is really terrible.

Well so far the one episode that aired wasn't done that well. They are changing, pacing and skipping stuff that shouldn't have been skipped or changed. Not to mention the visuals and voice acting doesn't really suit TOG's image imo. I really didn't like Yuri's voice and she's my fav character in TOG sigh.

Interesting because from a non fan's perspective I really liked the first episode. To me the pacing is improved and the animation looks fine. I actually like the uneven lines, gives it a rough look that I dig.

Some people rate the series episode by episode, so you're assuming something we don't have proof about. Moreover, to rate the series and to say it’s overrated are two different things. You’ve your opinion about the series and it’s not a problem, everyone has their own.

The animation/art isn't terrible it's just the style of it is different to what you used to seeing so you can't judge too different styles using the same standards cause they are fundamentally different.

Either they are rating it high based on the source material or they are rating just the first episode with a score that it just doesn't deserve. Same outcome, really.

I can understand if the non-webtoon reader labelled this as overrated because honestly, the 1st ep was quite rushed since they compress 4 chapter at once. So there bound to be a few things skipped in the anime. Lets just see how the next 4-5 episode fare

You're talking like if what you think is what everyone else should think. From your point of view the score people are giving it is high but for them it's not. Like I said before, it depends on your opinion, in this case it's based on how much you liked the episode. So, I think there's noone who's scoring the series too low and there's noone who's scoring the series too high.

and i haven't read ToG (only Solo Leveling) yet and i liked the first episode overall, there's nothing wrong with the score as well as it will change over time depends on this series performance, there's no need to be so salty and looking for supporters rofl.

I mean, even some fans are complaining it was rushed and with low quality animation. Rating it 10/10 is objectively overrating it, even if we ignore the foolishnes of givin 10/10 based on just the first episode.

While I deeply can't stand anymore whoever simply writes off shows with the classic "manga/novel/webtoon was better", you could at least give this show 4 o 5 eps before trashing it. I'm not impressed either with the first ep, but it's still way too early to have an impression

If this was the only manhwa adapted from webtoons I would get mad. but since they will do noblesse and The God of High School I'm ok, because they are much better than this one (in my opinion).

I'm still seeing butthurt in the air, since this is a forum, debates should be expected there's no need in being so defensive when looking at others opinions.

the animation isn't bad it's just different from the usual anime art style and the reason for this is because they want to stay loyal to the art of the source material ,and I watched the episode and I can tell that the thing is well animated and they have put alot of effort into it ,don't judge by first episode wait and see.
