| All in favor of burning Rachel at the stake please raise your hands o/ |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Everyone who make this anime never read a single page of ToG. |
| I played with my phone during that monologue or whatever it was that Rachel was doing. Didn't like her since I know how much more she'll do in the webtoon. Too bad, anime will drag it out and I will have to endure Rachel for a long, long time. |

guizo- said: All in favor of burning Rachel at the stake please raise your hands o/ At first I was like 'She is a believable character, blah, emotions every human posseses, blah...' You know going for the more sophisticated approach of interpreting her actions. But nah, burn her! What a...! I understand the anti-Rahel notion of everybody else now. There was nothing to it, she was not the member of an organisation, controlled, had a secret plan, motive, or sth. It was all 'F*** Bam because he has it all'. I loved this anime. Sure, it gave off vibes of just being the buildup to the REAL story right from the beginning. But it was entertaining for the most part and got me so curious that I cannot wait for a season 2. I am giving this a 7/10. The directing was very bad at times and I had to force myself to continue to watch this, especially up to episode 6. But when things got established and some groundwork got done, this show really accelerated and won me over. Bam was a weak, but likeable MC and the rest of the cast left a positive impression. The way information was dropped was however odd and even the bits we got were too ambigious to achieve some solid world building. Yes, it got you invested enough but they could have achieved much more if there had been more solid facts regarding this world. The unusual art style was quite refreshing and some backgrounds were stunningly beautiful. Sadly, music was used only in big moments to achieve some effect. Calmer moments went by mostly in silence. But what will miss hearing the OP and ED every week. K-Pop was never my kinda thing but these tracks were lit. |

MasterFremz said: baten said: You literally spoiled in your first sentence dude. Idiot... Yeah haha, i admit i was a big dummy there, but it doesn't really spoil something big like Rachel's betrayal. When i first read the webtoon, people on the top comment were always says bad things to Rachel like calling her bitch,liar, and traitor.In the end i got spoiled about what Rachel do to Bam, and then when i read the actual chapter i didn't feel anything. And i just don't want anime only people experience the same thing as i do. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1848246&show=150#msg60077030 Mostly because they left out important references Yeah it feels like there are somethings missing, but it doesn't matter to me ig, i quite enjoy this anime. Not "some things". The world building is almost entirely gone, and some characters are inconsistent. Look at Anaak, one of the coldest characters, crying when Baam died. It is way out of character. The same goes for Baam wanting to kill Hwaryun. Also, the most intelligent parts of the hide and seek were completely butchered. It is an okayish anime, but a bad adaptation. It's true they were short on episodes, but they included a lot of unimportant scenes while omitting extremely important ones. It's sad that anime watchers still don't know anything about shinsu except it's name, for example. |
| WOW. I'm so disappointed in this final episode. It's cool learning the background of Rachel's motives and all but it's so weak and pathetic. On top of, Bam barely has any character development and still has a weak motive for climbing the tower in the end. It's whatever. |
| I haven't read the webtoon, but from what I have seen in these 13 episodes the story promises well, I hope there is a second season. 7/10 |
| As a standalone anime, it was enjoyable but as an adaptation and knowing what will happen in season two, this first season of TOG was disappointing. The part that irritates me the the most was how the director handled Endorsi...I had a feeling it wasn't going to turn out well when Bam delivered food to Endorsi together with Hatsu but I still hoped the other scenes would be kept but in the end we just have some typical nakama trope. Seems to me like the director working on this only read through season 1 and decided to cut and add new parts based on that without knowing the consequences these random changes will have if there are future seasons. I laughed when Anak was crying for Bam, such a stupid addition. Maybe Bam x Anak will be a thing. |

| Fuck Rachel she is such a bitch and idc about her shitty motivations don't justify how awful she is in any way. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| So Rachel is just a pathetic loser with an inferiority complex. Glad that's over. |
| The first episode was so good that it made me read the entire webtoon within 2 weeks.But After I finished the webtoon,I just couldn't enjoy the anime anymore.They changed little things here and there which weren't as funny or impactful as they were in the webtoon and took away the momentum the first episode created. I really believe this would've been way better if it followed the source material page by page and panel by panel like Fruit Basket 2019. |
''I was dead serious''  |
| What a ugly human being Rachel is.....Epitome of greed and shallowness. |
 |
| I quite liked the first 2 tests but the 2nd half of the whole show wasn't great for me, haven't read the manhwa in ages so most of this felt new to me, but wasn't overly impressed. 6. |

| HELL YEAH! IN THE MAKING!!! 5/5! no1cares_getgoin said: My fuckin' godd....this was the best episode ever... Glad we got to see things from Rachel's perspective... She is definitely the most complex character so far... And btw, that end teaser was amazing. Can't wait for long haired bam in season2.. AND i can't wait for the reunion scene! I wonder how the staff would direct it and i wonder what music would Kevin Penkin use for that very feels scene! because on the Manhwa, when i read it twice, i still cried! that was the most unforgettable highlights on this ToG series! |

| Gosh, im spechless, i not webtoon reader so my thought from this movie is episode 1 to 11 is boring af, nothing big event happened and especially i hate the mc. But WOW from eps 12 it changed my mind. Cant wait for the next adaption, gonna rate 7/10. And i want to ask is it recomended to read it again in webtoon or not , Is there anything skipped in the anime ? |
"Anime Was a Mistake."- God  |
| overall a pretty decent show. Too bad they only got to adapt the first part, but mostly solid. maybe it's because I haven't read the webtoon in a while but feels like Rachel was more sympathetic here than there. Still a bitch though |
 |
| Pretty eh for the most part. Who would care about Rachel's POV and feelings when everyone already hates her? Pretty good series so far hence I would give it a 6/10 |
 |
| So Rachel dislike poorly written main characters, I guess that is the only good thing the show could offer. |
ayaan692 said: add from the anime. They tried to make all the character more friendly toward eachother. because nearly all the group dynamic scene were cut or reduced to the strict minimum. lol why the hell was anaak crying? she literally was ready to kill bam if he didnt hand over the black march to her and not really much happened between them after that that justifies her grieving for his death like this this show is soo bad with character portrayal its almost funny |
| I binged this series in one night and thought, while imperfect, this was a praiseworthy and good start to what I think/hope will be a lengthy run of a franchise/series. I say that because I appreciate that the team seems to be largely looking at the long-term play. Ignoring the source material which I haven't looked at, I thought it did good enough of a job with exposition. Yes, it was a bit rushed and some things were not explained well or at all, but I think it managed to maintain a good balance between pushing the plot forward while not losing the audience too much. I don't have much on Rak, but I thought Khun and Yoru's relationship developed nicely, and same with the core cast, even if some friendships are less plausible/natural than others. I thought the world-building was a little lacking and foggy, but at least by the end I felt like things were cleared up enough to lend some concrete form to Yoru's goal. And what an ending that was. I admit I was a little skeptical of Lahel (I feel like any character voiced by Hayami Saori by this point deserves some scrutiny on whether they have any hidden crazy--it's becoming too much of a pattern), but by the conclusion of the exam where Yuri's bodyguard destroyed No. 67 I thought it would proceed to a good ending for now. Then the push. Then the walkthrough of the entire season through her perspective. It was a masterful touch, in my opinion. All this sets up for a second season I would love, love to see. The series has already done a pretty decent coming-of-age setup for Yoru, but his growth should be hyper-accelerated at this point. Now that his crew has become Lahel's, I wonder how he'll plot his climb and how much he'll grow from here. Ah man I'm going to die of anticipation. |
| i feel like for an introduction this was pretty good, a solid 8/10 from me. hope this gets a season 2 so we can see what this show really got. |
| I have seen many villains in anime so far but she takes the crown,many say she was manipulated and so on but she was not.She decided to kill Bam from the start just to get what she wanted.I would get it if he was a bad person or something but she could not find a better person in the world then him.Just selfish and disgusting.Someone who deserve slow and painful death |
 |
| While this is actually a good episode, we see the perspective of Rachel (probably the best episode) but this series is kinda meh overall, i seriously see no appeal... both world building and characters with standard animation even looks awkward in fight scenes. This looks like they'll continue for next part but with this quality & pace idk if it's worth to follow the next one. 6/10 |
| As someone who has never read the manhwa/webtoon, I'd give this series a 6/10. Thanks to the fanbase of ToG that loves to spoil everything, I already know everything, including Baam's backstory. Based on the spoilers they littered everywhere, if there is to be a second season, it'll have more exciting things than the first one. |
| 臭い- |
| I wish she had succeeded in killing Bam. I never cared about him to begin with. At least the episode has gotten me to like Rachel now, but man, it took so long. |
| WTF! Did they really just give us 14 minutes of a recap with Rahel's monologue over it? Seriously?! I LOATHE recaps. What a shitty ending! I hope they hurry with season 2. |
| Rachel best girl. Also why are the guys that got eaten by the Bull still alive? 4/10 as a final rating because of how inconsistent it was and how Bam got everything by doing nothing and not making any effort. That's why Rachel was correct in her judgement, I would also want to kill that piece of white toast. Rachel alone made me rate it 4/10 instead of 2/10. |
Fortune favours the bold!  |
| Got major Ghost in the Shell: SAC vibes from the music this episode, I look forward to hearing more music from Kevin Penkin and for season 2 of this show (I might pick up the webtoon too). I wasn't crazy about the way they did Rachel's thoughts since it felt a little like a recap, but it made sense why they did so I can't complain too much. It was a good start to what is shaping up to be a a great story with intriguing characters that have a lot of room for development and growth, 8/10 |
 |
| Music was the best 6/10 |
| I want moreeeeeeeeeeeeeee, it's getting spicy, I hope they make it into a long series so we see all the character development. Lmao Khun's not having it with Rachel again x] I like how she can't hide with him and his more protective side shows I like the ironies in the story tbh, and lmao ppl hating on Bam for the exact same reason Rachel hates him! |
| This show proved to be as bad as I expected. It deserves to be watched at x4 speed while double-tasking. The only good point was the character design & the animation (backgrounds were so lame btw). |
 |
| Anime? ..strangely it all felt more like a cartoon show to me. Watching this it felt like there where at least 1 season i've yet to watch and started blank on season two, thus not really understanding much of what was going on, overall just much confused to be had and thinking 'what is this bs?' over and over again, + not caring for the characters at all made it for a boring watch in my book. 4/10 Completed thanks to 'fast forwarding mode', otherwise easy drop. |
| TOG is good but i think it was overhyped.Still i hope it will get S2 cause it was fun ride |
| BRAWLERS |
| Shoutout to the lizard girl. |
