It obviously implies you need to either have a great intellect, be extremely strong, have connections, be rich or any kind of advantage. The Test Administrator even added that no matter how much effort you put into it it doesn't matter. "You simply were not chosen. That's all". It basically tells you "This is life, deal with it.". Get it, now? and bam possesses neither of those, yet he's obviously gonna make it to the top. How does someone continue to be wrong every time they write a comment? Lero Ro is a stud and he called Baam a monster. Kuhn is pretty damn bright and he realized how special Baam was. Rak wasn’t remotely surprised when Baam wasn’t pushed back by Lero Ro. The series isn’t hiding the fact that The 25th Baam is much stronger than he’s currently aware of lmfao |

How do you know that lol Plus some answers concerning Baam's ability to climb the Tower are already suggested in the episode. Replace the word "luck" with "potential" in Lero-Ro's lines and what he means to say should make more sense to you. |
| That was sooo much better than the first episode. The pacing was slowed down to a speed that makes sense, and they had nearly all the detail of the source material in there. There is still some context missing, thanks to the first episode rushing so fast, but after this episode I can believe that they may be able to weave those things into the later story. |

I shudder to think if the latter is the case What do you mean? That the source material actually improved and it didn’t just happen to be a better episode director and it’s going to regress? I meant that the source material didn't seem to have any differences in quality between the ep1 and ep2 chapters, yet everyone seems to agree that the pacing in ep1 is substandard compared to ep2. Major scenes were removed in ep1, the dialogue was changed significantly, and as a result everyone shat on it because "it felt too contrived" and "rushed". The chapters didn't have the problem. Ep 2 didn't suffer from those issues. It adapted the chapters very well. If this represents the difference in standard of storyboarding between Hanai and Sano, then I am worried because Sano is the overall director and will probably storyboard more episodes. |

| ok this was far better than the first episode im so happy that they did not cut any impotent information this episode but there was some little changes here and there overall 5/5 |

I’m not super concerned about the pacing from this point onward tbh. The reality is that fight scenes move significantly faster when it’s animated and there is going to be a fair amount of action moving forward. At least in theory that should allow more time for scenes like the Yuri/Evan convo that was cut in ep1 |

I'm also so confused by the way Bam's name is pronounced oO 'Bam' is Korean for 'Night' and his full name just means 'the 25th Night', so they translated the name to 'Yomu', which means night in Japanese, but they kept the original Korean name for the subtitles (probably because that is how the webtoon readers know him). It is basically a question if you want to translate a name that has a meaning or you keep it original. I'm almost always for keeping the original, so I agree with the choice of keeping Bam in the subtitles. (If you are familiar with The Witcher, the original names are often translated in the English version.) |

| I was gonna write a semi proper post but fuck that THEY NAMED THE DUDE KUN AGUERO, THEY ACTUALLY NAMED HIM. AFTER THE DUDE THAT PLAYED FOR BOTH ARGENTINA AND MANCHESTER CITY BOTH USING LIGHT BLUE SHIRTS AND HIS COLOUR SCHEME IS ALL LIGHT BLUE HOLY WHIT WHAT THE FUK AAAAAAAAAAA |

| Great episode, pace is much better now as well. I think they actually covered everything, maybe might have skipped a line of dialogue or two but yeah, this was great and even better than the first episode. I went back and glanced through the source and the only major think they skipped was naming some of the previous Irregulars which might actually work to their favor here depending on how it's used. It also looks like the guy who got wrecked by Lero-Ro was changed but that's too minor to nitpick about. That moment where Lero-Ro stares at Baam and mentions that a monster has arrived was epic as hell. Anak and Hatz, they're awesome. Need more Yuri and can't wait for another character I'm looking forward to seeing show up. Really looking forward to next episode as it still has one of my favorite tests till date. Curious how they'll adapt it since there is a fair amount of dialogue. I hope they spend the time. yuzuruhanyuu said: Lyrisia said: Still can't get used to Rachel's voice... feels way too gentle and mature for her character.

| Way better than episode 1, but still kinda iffy about the animation of the show. Bam is still simping, hopefully that changes soon. |

donkwonk said: I personally liked the first episode over this one mostly because I like getting presented with so many questions and it really gets me hyped up to figure them all out from watching the series. I just like getting presented with cool visuals and dope ass music and the first episode delivered as I loved the setting and backgrounds far more than the ones in this episode. I think the best part of this episode was when the two struggling to get past the water wall were able to and how they handled the music there was really dope. I also liked how there was some comradeship between them after they both made it through. Other than that I was kinda disappointed about the way I think it might be going if its just going to be them completing trials. I really hope some cool stuff happens that makes this tower climbing way more interesting. It's a long journey, but the current season of Webtoon is no longer about completing tests, which I liked very much. The Tower is a big place with lots to explore! |
| Decent episode. I think I am gonna read the webtoon. |

| enjoying this so far. The line art seems inconsistent though. We get the uneven inky line art (forgot the actual term for this) when characters are close up and then we have the normal modern anime line art approach. it constantly switches between the two and it feels a bit intrusive to me. |
| well now it's jumping to HxH as opposed to SAO, wonder what next weeks episode will parody :P EasyGo-er said: Anyone recognize who's voicing Yu Hansung (the blond guy before the credit)? ah shit I recognize that voice exactly but I can't remember who it was, have to look around edit: @EasyGo-er I think it's Hirakawa Daisuke |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| That episode felt like it was 5 minutes long damn it! Don't get too close to Khun huh? Hmmm... Yeah, I feel like there's something off about Khun but I can't put my finger on it. Rak is hilarious; he's gonna be a great source of comedy! I'm really rooting for Shibisu; that guy has such raw will power haha I don't get why Bam's name wasn't just left as 'Bam' instead of being translated to Yoru... it throws me off haha |
 |
| Meh, not really impressed so far. It's a fun action/adventure to watch but the character writing and plot leave much to be desired. I guess it was kinda overhyped after all. This is barely a 6/10. |
-------------------------------- |
| Got better. Evened out the pace of the first episode with some action, so there's that. Prolly that starting an introduction somewhat heavily will have hindered the success of this anime, but that its action will make it popular enough to be worth talking about. Also, I wonder how devoted will prove the main male to this Raquel? @kazuyaslayer47 I agree with the fact you can better try a series with more exposure, though still believe the first episode rule to be superior. If a series cannot first spark your interest with its start, it deserves not to be watched. Sure, there are gems out there for the caring enough, but most people will not be willing to invest so much time and resources for fewer entertainment return... |

| Makes me wonder, can't MAL stop people from rating anime before a certain number of episodes, like how everyone can't review chapters before a certain number of episodes? If they can remove reviews before 4 out of 13 episodes are aired, surely they can do this for ratings too? |
| That was better than the first episode. Nothing too special and still a generic shounen but was a fun watch for me. It seems they took a lot of inspiration from hxh. Looking forward to watch more. 7/10 for now |

| It's been ages since I've read these parts so I don't remember any details so everything feels fresh for me. This episode was much better than the previous one. And as always, Rak is best boi. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| MC showing his irregular credentials by not even being put behind the wall. Liking his team as well. Full turtle!! Was a brilliant tactic which brings me back to an online texted base strategy game where you could max out defense and gain land while climbing the ranks right until the end when converting to offense. Those memories. Great show so far! |

| Well ep 2 was better then the 1st but I still don't understand the massive hype for this anime. So far it looks like a generic, most random clone of SAO aincrad. Also, because of Kenjiro Tsuda as VA of Lero-Ro I still hear him as Narihisago Akihito from Id:Invaded. |

The hype doesn't come from the first 11 chapters lol. |
| I'm starting to like Rak and it was funny seeing him throw a temper tantrum. |
 |
| From the third episode things begin to be better, I'm curious to see some scenes animated. |
 |
| I don't remember the chocolate bars scene, hmm? Oh well it's been too long anyway. Laurie promptly sleeping again after crossing the barrier. XD The ajooma and ajusshi overcoming the wall of shinsu by sheer will and literal bloody determination is still funny as in the webcomics. ...and the coffee freak appears! |

yuzuruhanyuu said: Clubby said: i don't criticize any series that have hype, i criticize the ones that get way too hyped up when in the end they're just average. So far this hasn't been anything revolutionary in any sense, and the fans were hyping it up to be the best of the best. Yea of course the anime adapted 11 out of 474 chapters so far, and surely those who hyped it only read the first 11 chapters???? Who cares about hype anyway. Read what you like and drop what you don't. People can check out the hype and judge for themselves what they do or don't like. If you don't like it drop it, no one is forcing you to continue damn it's like i'm getting hate for disliking a show that was hyped to the moon |
 |
| ahh already starting to like the show. Someone has probably already mentioned this but reminds me so much of HxH |
| You know, I was unsure the first episode, but after this episode I think I’m on board now. The mysteries going on in the background, the action, character interactions, and premise is really clicking with me now. I’m getting heavy Hunter x Hunter and Magi vibes, and I’m all for it. |
| The first half was still fast paced, but at least not as inconsistent as last time and it didn't feel like I was missing out on info either. Also like the characters and I'm genuinely interested to see more of them. Lol @ Shimisu, tho. Definitely an enjoyable episode overall. As I said in the thread for episode 1. This is pretty much my favorite type of series and therefore it's pretty hard for it to fail at providing entertaiment. Agree with others that the episode felt like it was 5min long xD It's just not as polished as it should be to be considered really great and to leave a strong impression. But well, we're still in the early stage and I should give it more time to grow on me. The potential to become a favorite is there. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The floors other fighters sure look to be pretty interesting characters in their own right as shown in the dual between Anaak and Haltz. Its nice to see Bam find his first ally in this trial though. Still his decision to throw down his weapons in an effort to convince Gator sure was a gutsy if rather risky move. Still it was amusing seeing Bam and Khun literally force Rak to join them. Rak sure developed a quick love of chocolate though. Bam sure had quite the luck though being spared the sudden trial that the admin threw up. That trial though sure presented some interesting moments though with the sleeping guy being the most unique. Thats some effort that tracksuit guy and his rival put in but im glad that they managed to break through as well. Overall an interesting ep that while continuing the trial of the 2nd floor also introduced some interesting new characters while expanding upon the lore. Rak and Khun in particular have quite the interesting relationship. Can't wait to see what happens in the next test. |
