| Shit seems to be getting real, and quickly. Tbh I didn't really care about Q's death, but RIP to the announcer. I liked his energy when he would commentate during the fights. Also we got a ton of new information and characters thrown at us scene after scene lol, I really wish the show had more episodes so the pace could slow down and breathe a little. |
| 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. |
Koala-_- said: People who say the pacing of this show is bad are the same people who think one piece and SAO are good. One Piece pacing is way better than God of Highschool. Especially when it comes to buildups. And no, both GoH and SAO are garbage. |
| this is the most generic trash I've seen in a long time, all the characters suck and for some reason they expect us to feel bad when characters that we just don't care about die |
| Noooo not the announcer how could I not see it coming This anime was very bad at first but it's getting better since the horrendous wedding episode. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Glad to see the Korean KKK with black body suits are now a part of the plot. Also, how the fuck is Daewi the only mfer who is suspicious about the fucking stand powers? Like wasn't this entire thing broadcast on national fucking TV? No one watching was like, "what the fuck is up with the big ass people shadow things that come out of people's back holding scythes and stuff?" Also glad to see that the power scaling is absolutely bonkers and makes no sense. They don't even try to build up to it, but just say shit like "yeah everyone who's gonna fight in this tournament has the powers of fearsome gods". Nice. That makes a lot of sense and explains things well, thank you very much. Last but not least, who's idea was it to use the goddamn suicide squad method of character introduction? Shit just seems to get worse and worse every goddamn week. Koala-_- said: People who say the pacing of this show is bad are the same people who think one piece and SAO are good. People who dislike [thing I like] are the same people who like [bad thing that everyone thinks is bad]. Haha owned. |
| Damnit, I liked the announcer and Q. I hope we get answers this season at least. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| My respect for the director he literally does not give a crap about the author of the webtoon and the fans, he just took the opportunity to create whatever he wants out of it. Dogshit episode but it still got me hyped for next week. Incredible anime. |
 |
| Can't wait for next week's fights Edit: Shut up SAO fanboys |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
| Well, I’m a bit curious about the power system. I hope it will not be as basic as it seems to be, however. |
 |
| A huge character dump, but it really made things more interesting.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| As good as the battles have been animated so far, I have come to the point that I realise that it's all the show has going for it right now.. Things barely get explained, maybe we still get that in later episodes, but I just wish they would explain atleast something about these supernatural stuff happening.. Or atleast the power system. I have got the same issues with GoH, just like I did with ToG. Episode itself, pretty laid back for the first 75% until the point where this cult made it's move, killing Q and Sim, the announcer. Just after getting introduced to Sim in his private life with his family, he unfortunately got killed :( Well, the official tournament will start! Time to look forward to some fights I guess! |

|
| The national GOH competition is starting and there's bound to be some good upcoming fights. I thought this episode was a bit boring as its purpose was mainly to set up the next half of this season. Hopefully we'll get to learn more about nox and what their goal is. So far enjoying this series. |
| Nice EP, just some preparation for the next enemies and fights |
 |
| noooooo not the commentator!! HAve to admit though he kinda grew on me with the short time he got. Poor wife and kids though rip. But alas, now we move on from a martial arts tournament to some yugioh shit kek |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
NoBakk said: Which translates to ''director didn't actually want to be as faithul as possible, and the author encouraged it'' so we end up with this. So yeah, director and author were in agreement, but the author still had little say in what the director ended up doing. Like, there's clear lack of story and character, it's focused on delivering amazingly animated and directed action scenes, and the author probably doesn't know enough about that.Kaasfondue said: watch from 16:28 https://youtu.be/rHgxoRz_qC0 the director wanted to stay as faithful as possible but the author told them to push itActually the author had no say at all because he complied with everything the director wanted to do, so the director is in full control basically and it shows they went 100% on the action |
|
| Ok so now it all makes sense, the director got all the liberty from the creator to do whatever he wanted with the original material, so he decided to go all out in the action and fight scenes .. unfortunately for him and for this adaptation, that focus alone doesn't cut it for it to be a good show Seems like we are going to keep getting great animation on the fights while everything else is mediocre at best |
 |
| Okay, to be honestly the plot getting more interesting and pretty intrigueing by telling the whole supernatural thingy in to the next level. Nox, the named of that cult organisation that somehow had a power called Changyeok. The origin of this power still unknown, need more background story to completed the missing puzzle. The tournament committee seems to be the good side on this world-building. Even they just launched the most powerful men among them. Were they really strong? Was that right to judge them in a good side? Their initial intentions still unremain until MAPPA decided to brought more background story to it. Even the power level seems balanced, by showing the death of important people in a tournament, one judge, Q, died in a misery, and that eccentric host announcer that had a surprising condition, too. RIP. Okay. The pacing still fast like hell. However, when i knew the duration somehow became a big trouble by this long-ass serialization, always like that. The direction of it kinda understandable, for me. It was really necessary to wrapped up everything asap, in a good way. So far, the plot story that built up for the upcoming arc was pretty nicely done launched and in a good direction becoming more exciting every turn. Congratulations, i am very satisfied and can't wait with the next storyline they had. |

| Extremely middle episode. Fun characters introduced that did almost nothing. I enjoy the characters too much to drop it, but the plot is so stale I'm sour about it every week. GoH is definitely going to be better to binge than week to week just because you won't need to wait 7 days for something to happen. Also, if the mentoring each protag gets is three sentences said by a stranger, that will be hilarious. |
| I don't think Q is dead. It sucks the Shim died, but I don't think one of commissioners would be killed so quick into the anime. So are the 6 supposed to be the top fighters that are going to oppose Nox while Park tries to find successors to train via the tournament? |
 |
| shit was all over the place felt like a lot of random name dropping of things all at once ,though i wasn't surprised by the giant sword falling from the sky but Sim being blind then him dying right after get any amount of actual screentime , already killing off characters we hardly even know so soon like it actually means anything on top of that it's by some generic ass looking baddie and now there's like 30 new characters added to the fray in this new tourney and for some reason the black suit kkk looking motherfuckers are in it which are clearly not hiding the fact their the villains lol?. |
 |
| This episode is like adding 10-20 different ingredients into your soup and it still tastes like complete shit. Adding characters without proper introductions and backstories will only create future story without weight. Hell, even the main trio's backstories are superficially thin, except for maybe Daewi but even his current motive is driven by "lol im just gona roll with it", which is a c-class (c for crap) tier motive. The only thing that's good out of this series is definitely the fighting scenes and only the fighting scenes. You can edit out the entire story and only make fighting compilation and it would still have the same impact. |
 |
| Was really hopeful for this anime and now I'm just so bored. The OP is still poppin' and I like the soundtrack...but the story and fights have come so MEHHHH |
 |
| Disgusting attempt by the author to generate fake sympathy by showing the Announcer's wife and kid before killing him just after. Also, have him meet Mira and give her a pep talk. I know all your tricks you hack. Gobble up normies. |

kungreece12390 said: Arin-san said: That is your argument? Lol nice try. This ain't 2012 buddy, you need to grow with time. No one will give you acceptance just cause you hate on SAO. SAO is actually good and if you still hate it on 2020 then you're nothing but another blind hater. One Piece is actually good for what it is, it is one of the big three, how about getting better arguments before making dumbass comments like this? Why do you need everything explained in one episode, the whole point is to keep the suspense level up and wondering what is going on, aka world building. What else do you want to know? the ending as well? like honestly what kind of logic do MAL users have. Maybe you guys should stick to romcoms Sigh, this amount of cancer, damn. Anyways, I'm tired of explaining this to fanboys, instead of throwing the information on our faces, they could've shown us snippets of these stuff, but what did they do instead? They just filled the entire episode with all these shit like we know any of it or got a proper explanation of. They just keep killing characters like its a joke, and who killed them? The witch cult we don't know fucking shit about. If you are gonna shove all these info and cult shit in one episode then do it after you've explained it. This is horrible writing. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| When I finally got interested to a certain character in the series they killed him right off bat huh. RIP Sim Bongsa. I genuinely thought they were gonna show some backstory about the guy involving Mira's Moon Light Sword style and why he got blind. Too bad. But yeah the episode was pretty okay-ish build up for future ones. The only issue I got is of course the awful pacing and tons of characters introduced right in my face. The "supernatural" aspects is finally getting explained little by little. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| I still don’t understand if Nox is a character or an organization with religious motivations, hahaha, it may be all a smokescreen to cover other interests. So, the final match didn’t make sense, because they both passed. Superpowers are coming out. Mira’s frustration was the reason of her attitude then. That fire hair assassin is rockin, wtf. For a moment, I thought they three would have their senseis, Mori and the old man, Daewi and Park and Mira with Bongsa, something like Naruto’s timeskip, hahaha. Bongsa’s death was unexpected, at least for me, 1 episode ago he was completely unimportant. Q’s death. |
 |
| Wow! This episode was pretty chill if we ignore the death of the commentator and the commissioner. That was pretty tragic, that guy gotta be strong as hell to defeat them both and even laughing. So that's how they made 3 of them compete, and together! So awesome to see that. So we got confirmed that there are people that have powers and can use them, so i assume Jin and Mori have their powers asleep. Since the commentator got blinded by her sword technique. It feels like the final tournament will be on another level compared to the preliminaries. Can't wait! |

"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
Jin Mori, Han Daewi and Yoo Mira are in! Excited for the 3v3 battles! Welp, as expected, Jin Mori's grandpa is strong; he just destroyed a mountain with his kick! The SIX also looks cool and powerful! RIP Announcer T. |
| Dude, why killing off the friendly announcer? And just after presenting him as a good father and husband. Damn, that was nasty. Decent build-up episode for what's to come in the national tournament. So the rules were changed in order to have tag team fights now, uh? Rather convenient for Mira and Daewi if I'm honest but well. At least, I'm glad to see they won't get secondary roles. Lots of new characters were also introduced but you can bet I won't even bother in learning their names. The Six group's presentation had me quite hyped tho. I can say I'm even more excited for this Nox-The Six confrontation rather than the tournament itself but we'll see. P.S.: I have no idea why I always thought Mori's grandpa was dead lol. |
| Do my ears deceive me or did I hear Kamiyan as that parka guy who saved the guard guy? Good episode for story build up even if lots of things happened |

| I feel sorry for the announcer guy. This show is definitely getting better but the pacing is still fast. This episode was quite good. Enjoyed quite a bit. |
