No of course i've already knew Tower of Gof from the webtoon, and it avoids any pure impression of the work. Sadly looks like the real newcomers are not so enthusiastic with "Kami no Tou" (argh) Because it doesn't bring much that feels good to the table. the characters so far look bland and so does the story. |

No that's actually too much, but I really did enjoy the first episode and find it a great surprise. I had no problems with it at all |

| not bad. Let's hope that Telecom doesn't fuck it up. Although, that OP was quite annoying with the sudden black screen with text every few seconds. |

Turtles_Hunter said: Fran said: Well, it obviously has some common point with the isekai-mmo subgenre, but more with the MMO part. A lot of base concept are inspired by videogames. Pockets, the whole tower thing, etc... but as the isekai goes... not really. they're not transported to another world, the tower is one specific part of the world, but we know nearly nothing about that outside world. To be an isekai, you have to come from our world. That's absolutely not the case. bro I was expecting some big dick shit but this is just another isekai Also, the manwha don't use most of isekai-mmo tropes... because that wasn't even a thing at the time. Isekai-mmo anime exploded in 2012 after SAO. ToG has been published since 2010. The entirety of part 1 was released before the isekai-mmo even became a big thing. So saying it's gonna be another isekai show that use those exact same tropes is sort of irrelevant. Sure there are a few, but really not that much. it has genetic op mc that attracts chicks for no reason and apparently is the chosen one or some shit idk chief it looks like an isekai to me |

| the story about girl who wanted to see stars and boy who wanted to be with her for some reason but next scene the girl said she hates the world thats why goes to tower to see stars?? whut .. i didnt read webtoon so i dint get it but i like battle royale anime and this seems to be like one. |

| That 1st test was boring, but the 2nd test was kinda interesting. Shades of HxH's Hunter Exam when everyone was hunting each other. |

| Bad first episode. Animation and artstyle are fine but plot is boring and convoluted. Why the fuck does this is 11 pages long? Shit's totally not worth long discussion. |

| I decided to watch this without knowing anything about it. I just watched the first episode and realized the original must be Korean, because they say ''Yoru'' and it's written ''Bam'' on the subtitles, Bam means night in Korean, hence Yoru in Japanese. |
| Melysara. |
| Wait for the japanese version of "Wangnan". Warunani? |
 |
| The animations are really bad for its premiere. Showing random characters every few minutes instead of setting them up or rather introducing them only makes it seem to be rushed. Meh/5. It's still the most promising anime this season. The absolute state of this industry. |

| Exposition? Never heard of her. But I'll be honest, I'm mad about being this impressed with how good this actually turned out. Visually, Tower of God and BNA seem to be the only competition this season. That's sad considering how many good shows aired in winter season. The people saying this "looks" bad are only saying that because they hate how Crunchyroll is promoting it and flaunting it as a "Crunchyroll Original." I don't pay for Crunchyroll, nor do I pay any attention or give two shits about anything they do. So watching this without that biased prejudice, yes, Tower of God is one of two best looking anime this season |

| This is not how you do a first episode. They say pictures are worth a thousand words, but that does not necessarily mean those words are coherent. You can't just flash a bunch of them in my face and tell me that it means anything. I feel like I'd care more if I knew why the kid was in this tower to begin with. Without any context I can't feel any kind of weight behind anyone's actions and I can't sympathize with the main character. It's too early to come to any conclusions, but I feel like I will be in for a rough ride with this one, at least until they hit episode 3 or 4 which will likely be a dedicated exposition dump episode. |
| Chose not to read the original webtoon, to support the release in crunchyroll so ToG has some potential, but this first episode was... Just too metaphorical to me. They didn't explain anything, the weapon, the characters, the tower, the world; the only thing they ~kinda~ explained was the relationship between bam and rachel. I don't know ANYTHING so to me this seemed like a episode for those who already read the webtoon I liked the animation tho, and the soundtrack it's great. It's a 8/10 for now, because I saw potential, but if it keeps not explaining anything for the next couple episodes, it will be very disappointing. |

SleepySnowSpirit said: Hitoribotchan said: are they climbing a tower?Oh, i love the pacing too. I remember i almost drop ToG at first time, but when Bam reaches second floor, the story grow more interesting. So, how can you guys say the pacing is too fast? They just know the feeling of most ToG reader. I give this 8/10 Yes, they are climbing a tower. FYI, Kami no Tou in english is Tower of God Mod edit: added spoiler tag |

Bawse_Gautham said: Well, I can't afford to dedicate my time to read 450 chapters of something that I certainly didn't like for first 50ish chapters, especially when I can read other fucktons of manga that I am genuinely more interested in. Though, if this adaptation gets me hooked, I will give the webtoon the third shot, which seems highly unlikely if the anime continues like this though.cchigu said: I kinda disagree. ToG took a fair amount of time to get gripping but after that shitty start it gets really good. But really an anime adaptation is a bad idea because it cant afford that amount of time.I remember dropping ToG very early because of how bad it was. Let's see if it's anime adaptation can sway my opinion. 2/5 |

| I don't think the story will be enough to overcome my dislike of the animation style. |
| I thought the first episode was alright, though characters should've been introduced better and it felt a bit rushed. Animation was fine but didn't like the OP much. Haven't read the webtoon but lets see if it gets better. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Mmmh... an ok start I guess ? I don't really know what to say except that it was an average start. Might get better later on (I hope). 3/5 |
| I'm seeing this with a friend who's new to this series. He says it's fast-paced for non-webtoon readers. The OST is great, though. We liked the ED music. |

Well this is......kinda...bad soo far.Am i the only one who thinks that the characters stand out too much from their surroundings???? I hope the later eps will be better.. btw the op was boring af... |
| This episode was a pretty okay adaptation. Not too big on the pacing. For all those wondering; yes, it does get better. As someone who usually despises these types of shows, I've come to appreciate it. The first season will definitely be the weakest in the story, however; the later seasons are definitely amazing. First season? ehhhh. If you think this will just have a mediocre plot, you'll be in for a surprise :) |
 |
| The 1st episode was fast paced, for sure. I still remember my impressions when i started the webtoon, and a great thing is what make you be involved in the atmosphere of the story. - The figure of Headon was very important, every speech cause you to be aware of how serious and dangerous is that place. They should not cut his speech about what is fair or unfair. To fit in the 23 minutes, i woud let that meeting in the ending just to occur in the next episode. |
|
| Not gonna lie, it felt kinda rushed, convoluted and just seems like it's gonna be another battle shounen type show. Which of course wouldn't be bad or anything. Of course considering the praise Tower of God gets, I'm gonna assume that it becomes something much more. I just hope that things get properly explained! Also liked the music, but wasn't a fan of the visuals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| I have read this webtoon a long time ago so I don't remember much but webtoon wasnt great just like readers are talking. 4/5 Music was good. |
Beleth01 said: Does it even matter, when we talk one piece, no one shits about how bad the animation is.. and only says thing like the manga is better, read the manga n all such stuff.. but here in this discussion, no one even bothers about the webtoon, and only trashing on the series as whole just cause they felt the animation was lackluster.... Not many people pick up one piece due to the excessive amount of ep. I think you should use another example. I dropped One Piece due to the animation/art quality a decade ago since Bleach and Naruto Shippuden were better at the time. but I later ended up picking it up and grind over 900+ eps within 5 months. One Piece isn't about animation. Did you even watch it? The emotion scene is what great about it. I still think Bleach and Naruto does better on the action area. Kami no Tou ep 1 is just a decent anime. Neither good or bad imo. I know what's bad since I seen several myself. Most of them are short 12-ep series. I don't understand why people would compare a 12ep series to a mainstream 100+ep anime. I understand why people react this way. Becuz it's 2020. If anime is bad in the present, I highly recommend people to try to watch the old ones. :d |

Beleth01 said: I can say the same thing to you, can't I.??. did you even read the webtoon... it didn't get loved by millions of fans not because it's art style, but because of it's lore, the plot, the characters has so much depth into them.. And in anime terms, it's just episode one,in my opinion the animation wasn't bad, the art style was also good... it's just not some people cup of tea.. However, that doesn't give people the right to judge the entire series based on the animation, or character design they didn't like.. You're fast. You edit your post after I edit mine. I wasn't expecting a counter argument. And yea, I didn't read the ToG webtoon and it wasn't the genre I like to read. However, I can binge through it easily if you want under one condition and that is you marathon through 900+ ep like I did. :l I'm definitely not one of those millions of fans, I rather watch anime than reading it. I'm not shitting on ToG either lol it's average and I wouldn't say it the best this season (why exaggerate to millions?) Voice acting and music are the things that brought life to the series. I judge anime and manga as separate product. My intention is to tell that you to not compare long running series that you didn't even bother watching to a short series. |

| First episode was decent, not the worst but not the absolute best I've seen. I will however keep watching because I think this show will just simply get better.. we'll see! |
Beleth01 said: What did i exaggerate,.. And it does have a fandom in millions.. As for ToG being a short series, the chapter count is more than 500 and it has been continually updating for the past decade or so...now, if you even call that a short series, i don't know what else to say... As for me comparing it with one piece, i didn't compare shit.. i was mentioning the fact how bad of a job toei animation does on their anime production for one piece, but no one seems to be bothered with it...as for one piece as a whole i have been "reading" it for the past 7 years... Yes, I call that a short series because it is a short 12 ep anime series. Again, anime and manga are two separate things. (Use KonoSuba's LN and anime as my reference) I don't understand why you keep relating to the webtoon when this is about the anime. Whether it's 500pg or not, it doesn't really mean much if you think consider many anime without a second season. In the end, it's still a 12 ep series that advertise for the original source. As for your question. The answer to that is obvious. It's a mainstream, no one care about it. Whether a long series is bad or not doesn't really mean much. It's still airing and had the budget to do so. Black Clover has bad animation, but it still air over 100+ so no one expecting much from it. Just consider them to be on the level as Pokemon/Detective Conan. They will keep running as long as fund are available and what we say doesn't matter much. That's why my first post said it was a bad idea to use long series as an example. |

| it's really disappointing that most shounen MC are some wimp beta male, let's hope the side characters are good enough for this to be worth watching... |
| Woah!! I like the animation! Kevin Penkin is really good in making music! I like the OP song... and it's from Stray Kids!!!! That's why it seems a kpop song ❤️ I'm glad it's Japanese dub despite being a korean webtoon, hangeul is great but I still prefer Japanese VA. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Wasn't expecting much but it still was disappointing in a way. Sure, the art-style has certain charm and I kinda like it but honestly, aside from the fantastic OST (Kevin Penkin, Thank You!), the story as well as characters and their motivations didn't really impress me. Particularly, I hope Bam can grow a pair sooner rather than later because her wimpy attitude isn't really of my liking. And that Yuri girl... she couldn't have been more annoying even if she tries. Anyways, it's just the beginning so let's see what this setting can offer. By the way, I'm not familiar with the source material so I don't know whether to consider this series as a shounen or seinen yet. I know they are not genres technically speaking but you get me. |
| Cool to see a webtoon anime. Awesome music and art is true to the original. OP music was awesome but the visuals were bad. Nobody likes seeing a bunch of black screens... |
