there are not thousands of reviews as there are scores, that being said, this anime is a travesty and i have no idea why would they make GOH to be so bad, i get that it's a advertisment for the original source but damn....

The reviews are based. The most people who have rated this are fanboys of the original source material hence the score is high. It will probably see the drop as the time passes by.

Read the reviews. I can rate any show 10 and move on but if I have to give a show full and proper review then I've to mention the reason why I think a particular show is good or bad.

all that reviews are a vocal minority here
most popular one has 70 upvotes now (and wouldn't be higher than 500, I guess), while rating have 35,810 votes

however, I think that score will drop soon to 7.8, same as tog

I've liked the show since the first episode but the fourth episode kinda made me think that it was pretty pointless and rushed. But they're saying it was as rushed and out of place in the manhwa as well so I guess the studio can't be blamed here. I'm here for the badass action scenes anyway, a good story is only a plus but I'll be watching regardless lmao.

One of the top reviews was literally written by a 15yo who talks about it like he watched the whole show when only 4 episodes have aired so far.

How can you have any value in these reviews? Wait until the anime finishes then read them.

In my honest opinion I think early reviews are just a score based on personal feeling.

It's a simple motto every human being knows: If you're not enjoying something, just drop it. And I always say never try to make watching anime / reading manga a chore. If you an't feeling it, give it a break and move on.

That being said, I'm somewhat enjoying GOH, I don't care about the overall score right now, nor am I trying to look to deep in this, but I just wanted to give my take on early reviews.

I will be laughing my ass out if the final rating is going to be same as DomeKano manga (7.22), like, are you fucking serious?...
Series has its problems, of course, it's not 10/10, but you should be blind or a salty hater to rate it 2 or 3. Even if it's worse than the source material (let's be honest- source material is better than adaptation in a lot of cases, nothing new here), at least rate a 4 or 5, no need to be such a rebellious child.

Lmao I don't get it either, even people who had it at 6 or 7 changed it to 2-3 after the fourth episode. I get that the episode was random, filler like and rushed asf but how can one episode that didn't completely ruin the story or something can warrant such a big drop in scores unless somebody just goes damn I didn't like this one, trash 2/10

Reviews are by elitists complaining about pacing when they have no idea what they are even talking about most of the time (lel).
Scores are by "casuals" who just rate a show based on their enjoyment I guess.

The latest ep threw me off as well, cause Mira is just so generic and annoying.
The entire ep was built around her and it was boring as hell, at least for me.
I wish she would just disappear, even the wrestling girl was more likeable than her, even though she got so little screen time I can't even remember her name.

The thing that people often don't appreciate is that there is a trend to when people rate shows and review things, the easiest example to explain is with sequels. Sequels are rates higher generally because someone is significantly less likely to watch the sequel if they didn't like the first season.

More relevantly to here though:

1) People who rate an anime after only 1-2 episodes are out generally (not always) tend to rate higher than those who wait til the end.
2) People are more likely to rate/review a show if it elicits a strong reaction, positive or negative.

A lot of people liked the webtoon, and gave a good rating off the bat of the first episode. A lot of people who hadn't read it, and thought it was bad, saw the high ratings and felt almost compelled to review the show as the high rating felt like a personal offence to them.


On a separate note, whilst reviewing an anime isn't something that you should do before it's over, I feel like I could write a review now that would have an 80% chance of holding relevance after it was over. I think in a lot of cases, even a couple of episodes is enough to know how good a show will be with relatively good certainty.

maybe they all are webtoon fanboys. as an anime only viewer, in my opinion, the good things from this show are just eye-catching visuals and good opening. but I also hate people who have just reviewed the show at the beginning of the episode. they should have to wait for more episodes, 6 maybe. why are they in a hurry to review lol.

Exactly what happened to Tower of God as well, both are pretty fucking mediocre at best.

To ToGs credit the series gets better in future, it could still be considered mediocre but it gets better (will not matter if there are no more seasons 😅), but gohs will only keep sliding.

Oof.. I haven't watched GoH yet, but it went from 8.05, to 8.06, to 8.07...
to 7.98.

That's not a good sign at all. I've just been noticing how many reviews give it a score of 1-5. Like almost every single review. Quite the shame. I'll still find out for myself when I watch it, but that certainly isn't a good sign for the anime's reputation. Even Tower of God dropped to a 7.86. I have much less faith for the Noblesse anime now...
I really think it will have a below 7.00 score at some point.

It actually started on 8.19 on Episode 1 then before EP4 airing, it was already on 8.11. after people watched EP4, it is decreasing fast from 8.11 to 7.98 now
(-0.13). Even Tower of God who started EP1 on 8.00 still could be stable on 8.00 at EP4.

MAL scores mean next to nothing. Even though I love publishing my thoughts/reviews from time to time, even that doesn't mean much unless you're using it as a source of information whether or not to give something a chance. As long as you love or hate the actual thing yourself with nothing else influencing anything, that's all that matters.

...And now it's dropped to 7.97 🤣🤣..This is why I don't trust the opinions of manwha (however the fuck you spell it) readers anymore. They over-hyped Tower of God and claimed it was going to be the next One Piece but look how that turned out. Now, they're doing the same exact shit but based on how ToG ended, this is going to be just as over-hyped.

I'm still going to try the series out just so I can judge it for myself but unlike ToG, I won't come in with high expectations. This is also going to be the last time I'm going to be watching any anime adaptation of Korean mangas because ToG sucked ass and it seems like this is going to suffer the same fate.

The anime seems promising with the great fight scenes and (imo) more originality than other battle anime that have come out in the past few years. The people who write bad reviews either dont like battle anime in general or just dont like the series for whatever reason. This anime was defitnely less hype than tower of god but so far seems to be alot more evenfull and enjoyable to me than the tower of god anime adaptation so i have no idea why people are sweating over how "shit" this show is.

I really don't know how you expect a 13 episode anime to compare to the 900 or so that One Piece has.We don't have the luxury of One Piece anime fans that get a new episode every week. I can remember very few things in that first saga that excited me. If you were to compare the 13 episodes that we got for ToG, then it would be like if we got 13 Episodes for One Piece starting at the 1st episode to Loguetown skipping everything related to character development in the middle.

You know, that might actually be a good thing since people always complained about One Piece being too slow anyways.

As for people comparing it to One Piece, there are a couple of things that readers often compare it to. 1) length, 2) world building, and if done correctly fight scenes can look pretty dope as well, but that's more of God of Highschool's territory.

Tower of God started 10 years ago and we're on chapter 485 or so? We're not even close to done. As of the current moment, the arc can be compared to the Battle of Marineford Arc in One Piece. If we got this animated weekly with the slow ass pace of One Piece, it could have easily been compared to it. There is still so much that the story hasn't revealed yet.

As for world building, it's quite similar isn't it? Luffy goes on an island, stays at said island for a time, and moves on to another island. We learn a ton of info and meet hundreds characters along the way that we may or may not even see for a the next couple hundred episodes. Every single bit of information is quite important in the long run and SIU even gives extra snippets of detail in his blog posts. The anime did end up cutting a lot of the world building out which was a shame. Probably because it wasn't really important in season 1.

What do you get if you mix Dragonball with JoJo? You get God of Highschool. Because they already shown the powers and stuff and people are already comparing it to Stands, I don't have to try and censor anything. But honestly, you shouldn't expect much plot from the first season, even with the little that we have from the source material, the anime decides to rush it or even completely remove it.

The manhwa is like a fun side story that you read when you have nothing else to do. Even still, there are manhwas like Solo Leveling that's blowing up which is more action packed than God of Highschool if all you're looking for is broken OP MC.

I would still suggest everyone to try reading the manhwa, if they like the direction it's taking however. ToG did a decent job at peaking interest at the series giving vague information, but this one's a bit different. It'll already show people the potential power scaling and the main powers of the series, so if you don't like where the series is heading with the powers and stuff, then you wouldn't need to read after the anime is done.
