nanashi796 said: if they want to change something at least they have to make sense,how tf kurudan arrived there in a metter of seconds. btw garbage adaptation,everything is fucked,world building,characterization, and characters personalities are different from the original ,plus bad animation,art style and direction. Kinda feel you, but I think the only thing that was really bad was the direction and the decision to turn 78 chapters into 13 episodes, that made them cut out so many important dialogues and explanations. I think that art and animation were not so bad for a studio of this caliber, I think that if they had opted for an art style with shadows it would have been much more digestible. Now we can only pray that the second season (the best season), will have a better treatment |
| Honestly, my biggest problem with this show is how... context-less every moment feels. I still have no idea what the relative geography of this Tower is, where it is in relation to the rest of the world, whether it's sort of like a nation all its own or just some hyper-advanced building, where all the powers come from, where that cave Rachel found Bam is in relation to everything else, how Khun's brother is able to just get into the tower and chat with him despite the tower supposedly being really hard to get into, whether all these weird monsters actually live in the tower or if they're brought in from outside, etc. etc. It's just not good at explaining the outside circumstances that influence the characters, the world, and the actions they take. Sure, it's trying to establish a sense of mystery and all that, but there's just so much unexplained/left up to interpretation that I 'm constantly distracted from the story by all these questions I don't have an answer to. I think that's why Rachel's "shocking" betrayal didn't really infuriate me (well, that and manwha readers not being able to keep their damn mouths shut). I have so little knowledge of what's going on that I genuinely have no idea if there even IS a reason why she pushed him off. It's just another damn mystery that's probably gonna get drawn out forever because concrete answers are apparently above this show's pay grade. Oh well, at least Best Girl Yuri's back on the playing field. Maybe this time she won't vanish for a full-ass season and will actually stick around to do shit. |
| Pretty intense episode again. That ending really is an iconic one for the franchise, and a big part of whats to come for the future. Really hoping for a season 2 now after this, with a better schedule. Only one more episode to go next week! |
| Why did Rachel say the line. Before pushing Bam off, Rachel Said to Bam "You should Stay Here" Also why change the fight I guess that nitpicking but I did wanna see him blow that monster in half not for the inside. It just weird changes. Otherwise it did all work to the same outcome. |
Dukino said: That's it? Really? That's what has webtoon readers so pissed off? Didn't really do anything for me, probably cause webtoon readers haven't shut up about "hating Rachel" since the anime was announced, but still. It was really random and felt like Rachel pushing Bam was merely for shock value. Didn't elicit any real response from me other than ok I guess that just happened. Kinda weird how the Bull can reach into that bubble, thought it was protecting them, how'd water and fish not get in but the Bull did, too convenient. Bam himself hasn't been much of a character other than being a sweet guy so I'm not invested in him enough to care about him being "betrayed", if we can even call it that. Now if it was Khun or Rak or Shibisu then I'd be messed up over it but nah, it's just Rachel. Who hasn't done much to make me feel any kind of way towards her either. Like I said felt like that moment was only there to shock us or something dumb like that. Gonna need some major explaining for me to come around, and I doubt the finale will be enough. Rest of the episode other than the Rachel and Bam segments was cool. Loved seeing Yuri come rescue Anaak and Endorsi. The latter being a badass still with not turning on Anaak to begin with. Yuri toying with the royal cop made me laugh. She's super powerful I love it. Makes me wish she was around more. Some other things I noticed is that I'm agreeing with Lero Ro a lot about the attitude of Hansung. Why's he so damn laid back. Doesn't make sense. There was way more than one intruder during that test but he didn't care until Yuri was about to actually finish the cop. Which I'm glad he still got squashed by a giant hammer but I don't get Hansung being that carefree until the last moment. A lot of weird things that need explaining that I'm pretty sure won't be. No that just the first reason of Rachel hate train. |
| People who are commenting that now they understand why everyone hates Rachel. Bro it's just a start. Rachel hate train has just started. It hasn't even reached the middle part let's alone the end. Better be ready for much more than this. A great episode btw. They paced it perfectly. Now we want a better quality animation for next season as it gonna be fully packed with action and emotions. Let's go. |
| the directing of this show is absolutely horrendous. I feel nothing watching it. |
| I did enjoy Yuuri's badassery (cause I do kinda like her character design and persona) and the betrayal part (the latter for mostly the wrong reasons). Anyone who didn't see that fucking last part coming, you really to check yourself a couple of times. While I appreciate the setup it created, it didn't prevent the entire episode from underwhelming overall. There was virtually no existing sense of tension or emotions, at least from my perspective. This goes back to the extremely lackluster directing. I did gets lots of chuckles from the final scene, but again, as stated before, for mostly the wrong reasons. It's obviously supposed to make Baam's character go 180, and while that does qualify as character development, I often scoff at these sort of setups, unfortunately, cause it's something I can't call genuine, organic, or compelling. |
 |
| There were a lot of twists this episodes, especially with that last scene, but this episode really rushed things too fast once again. I was told Bam would do something in this trial, but I wouldn't consider this doing anything since what he did wasn't really part of the trial, rather it was an outside party's interference. Maybe there is still something that he will do in the final episode. I can't believe that I am about to say this, but the biggest problem for me this episode was OST. Yes, it might be the a great OST by itself to listen to, but the music was misplaced. The soundtrack gave an epic vibe of the slow paced variety, which was anything but this episode's pace. Even for the quick action scenes, there was a lord of the rings epic soundtrack vibe which didn't fit with the Rak fighting scenes. I am not sure if Kevin Penkin knew how his OST would be used, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was just told to make an epic OST and then someone else laid it out in the episodes. Some scenes felt right, but most this episode felt off. But maybe he did do it and this is just a unique opinion which isn't shared by anyone else. |
 |
| The pacing in this episode felt all over the place and the changes from the source material felt mostly really out of place and illogical. I recommend everyone who had not done so to start reading this from the beginning. Oh right, I've almost forgot... FUCK RACHEL! |
| Ahh finally, Yuri in action. She's powerful as f! As well as her comrades. Poor Ren. Hahaha New member of the Khun family was introduced. And Khun AA is clever as always. Jumping gator Rak with Parasol is so funny! Hwaryun is so beautiful! Next week will be the final episode. Hopefully season 2 will be announced. And... FUCKING BITCH RACHEL! AAARGH!!!  |

| Wow, I don't remember the last series that almost bored me to death like this. There's not a single interesting thing in this show. Bunch of walking plot devices instead of characters, what few characters are there have no depth because there was no time to develop them in any way and the world itself is the usual incoherent clusterfuck of unimaginative and unrelated locations. And damn, how easy is to hate some of these walking plot devices. In a way, it's pretty impressive to have such a big cast and not a single likable character. At best, it's possible to feel indifferent about them. Maybe I missed something while dozing off, but wasn't this show supposed to be hyped as hell? What was supposed to be so great? I'm expecting answers along the line of "oh, it gets better later" but come on, slow boil has its limits. We have only so much time between glaciers. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| They did Rachel dirty in the anime and made her 100x more of a biatch. In the original she didn't try suck up to Bam, didn't cry on his shoulders, didn't pretend she was repenting for abandoning him, didn't ask for forgiveness, didn't laugh and smile with him as if everything's daijobu, didn't pretend to be all lovey-dovey. She was gloomy to the last moment and it was obvious she was planning something nasty; but this felt REALLY nasty!!! More food for the glutenous Rachel-hating hordes! |
| I can't believe I spent a whole week reading ToG after last week's episode because of my curiosity! I already hated Rachel when she was being nice, but I hate her even more now. They made a lot of changes this episode, but I am okay with most of them. Though, I wish they mentioned that the fluffy mascot isn't actually dead. A change that I really didn't like: Khun seeing his older brother. In the webtoon, their meeting was kind of cute and funny. And, the older Khun was a video game nerd, who ends up controlling our Khun's lighthouse, and guides Yuri's teammates. lol. The interaction between Rachel and Bam was changed a little, so my mind was really nervously glued to the screen. I almost thought they planned to make Rachel a good person, but thank god they didn't! Everyone deserves to hate the yellow turtle!! I wanna know how anime Khun will react to Bam's "death" since he's much more closer to Bam than webtoon Khun. I really love seeing Yuri go berserk. She acts like a protective older sister to most of the characters. |

Here he seems extremely useless, he was also useless in the first season of the webtoon, at least he had some kind of development there, but here the uselessness is much more accentuated by the power of the rush. I also thought the OST direction was very bad for this episode, but I don't think it's Penkin's fault, it's probably Yamaguchi Takayuki's fault, since he's the Sound Director. But he is not bad, he worked on good animes, like Steins; Gate 0, i only don't know what he was thinking here. These music cuts out of nowhere, and sloppy transitions kinda ruined those good tracks :[ |
| Wow...there it is. I've seen a lot of hate On Rachel and there is the reason why. I can safely say now "FUCK RACHEL" The episode was heavy focused on Yuri and I loved it but god damn that ending was crazy. I hate Rachel. Endorsi was really great in this episode as well. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Fall 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| It was so satisfying seeing the princess' ally flatten that sack of shit like a pancake. Rachel at the end though.......smh Bam this is what happens when you S I M P. Nice cliffhanger to keep people on edge until the finale. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Soooo, for a non-reader... all that hate for Rachel was because of this little push everyone knows will do nothing to the MC? Ah, give me a break. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Hey, let's play a little game. How many scenes were left similar to the original material in this episode? I think it's only the last few seconds isn't it? Maybe one part of when Raak runs away as well. |
 |
| Considering all the comments by the Webtoon readers about how much Rachel was hated, I knew something was coming. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this changes Bam as a character. |
| Highlight of this episode is definitely Yuri. Enjoy her OPness. As for Rachel part,I got spoil so I expect it coming. |
| Another week and another episode of Tower of God... Now we have Anaak showing why she is the best Also Endorsihaving good oments And finally what all we think right now: What the fuck with Rachel??? Great episode (as always) Just 1 more left... Waiting for the Final one!!! |
| WHAT THE FUCK RACHEL????? I DID NOT LIKE YOU FROM THE START BUT I DID NOT EXPECT THAT LIKE HOW Also how can Anaak do something when her green april isn't in her possession? Don't make the best girl useless :( |
| Here we have another hatable b*tch. Haven't seen one since Naofumi's literall b*tch, god I want her to fuckin die. |
