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.

Lets not forget that Baam wasnt even motivated to keep climbing the tower lol. He is supposed to be all gloomy about this.

Kind of dissapointed...

Wasnt Good...

But this is an "Ending-Season Episode"...

Felt kind of empty... maybe the only one in the entire season.

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.

I haven’t read the webtoon but I think that Rachel actual test is maybe to try and learn how to actually become a star by watching Bam shine right in front of her and how to be pure rather than just being jealous of others,or to simply accept The fact that she’s not qualified to to climb the tower so rather than killing bam she should’ve chosen to climb the tower with him.

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.

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

So season 1 end with Rachel betrayal on Bam where see felt jealous with about what he got in the tower such as friend, power, hope, and so many more. If they could make a second season, I'd love to wait it.

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.

With shows like Sword Art Online even though I don't like it I could at least understand why it got popular but ToG just leaves me scratching my head. 1st episode was already bad impression but I gave it a fair shake since I hear recommended so highly when it was only a manhwa but this was hard to go through.

Lizard girl and snobby/vanity princesses sub story was only thing that had some weight to it. Poor sense of tension or urgency anywhere for any other situation with the other characters. Rachel's betrayal portions of the ep13 was well written but laughable for all the overzealous hate she gets in the end, especially in comparison to something like Berserk. Maybe if the MC was more worth caring about I could ride the hate train as hard too myself. I dunno.

It's like a fanfiction author just stumbling around with ideas, lore and world-building that makes anime that usually called "mediocre shounen" like Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, etc look like Shakespeare.

2nd season would take a lot to turn this thing around. Regardless it's nice to see manhwa becoming another potential source for anime adaptations. God of High School trailers look nice. Hopefully it turns out better than ToG S1.

I also don't like SAO, but I understand why it was popular, at least the first anime was OK, but the rest were trash tier. The premise of being locked into the game and having to climb to the top and work hard was nice, but the character of Kirito was very Mary Sue - everything good happened to him, he was the best and the chick fell for him, it's just too easy and provokes to be hated and disliked as an overall story.

.hack//SIGN was a way better "locked in the game" type of story, SAO is an overrated garbage.

I also watched Tower of God and was scratching my head a lot being confused and whatnot, but in the end, the story ended pretty well for a first season with a nice cliffhanger. I think part of why many people including me and you didn't understand it is that maybe 13 episodes and this little amount of story isn't quite enough to understand it. Also I think the fact that it's non-Japanese makes it a bit different. Japanese anime like SAO fall into many tropes and you can literally watch one episode and you literally know what the whole thing is about, but stories like Tower of God are more non-standard.

I've watched a couple of Chinese anime and they are also a bit different in the way the story is presented and it's honestly a nice change of pace. I think that Japanese anime as of the last 10 years or so has gotten really stale and repetitive and only about 1-2 (max) animes per year are decent-good, the rest are trash tier.

Really good episode, we get Rachel's pov to see why she did the things she did, while this doesn't redeem her it's nice to look inside the mind of Rachel and seeing her thoughts in previous events.

Tower of God was a fun ride and can't wait for more of it

I quite liked the characters of this series, the story was in my honest opinion too slow with all kind of test that eventually didn't reach up to much, I also wanted to know more about the actual tower and Ban's & Rachel's assent to the top of the tower to get their wish granted. That for me would've been a nice ending and while there is room for more the pacing of this series was a bit of a hill so I do wonder if there ever is going to be a sequel and if so what it would provide us in terms of story and character development. In general it was a nice watch.

Pretty decent I guess. Surprised Crunchyroll didn't announce another season, considering how massively popular this show is. Nice job to the ToG fans for spoiling about Rachel since the first episode, by the way.

Needed more of that mysterious red-head girl. She seemed cool, but she's probably evil or something.

I finally finished watching, to be honest, while watching this anime I didn't enjoy some parts.
So this episode mostly focused on Rachel.
Rachel this episode made me interested in her character rather than hating on her, like the rest of other people, she seems like a pretty complex character and really human, her betrayal was indeed a bad thing but I feel like she's my second most interesting characters after Hansung Yu in this anime.
Also thanks to the webtoon readers for always saying they hate Rachel but I don't really feel hate towards her more like I'm interested in her character more now.
I'm not sure if I will continue on with the webtoon or not.

I guess i was expecting way more from this, and got disappointed. I just couldn't like this at all xd the story started with an interesting premise, cool 1st episode, but it quickly got uninteresting for me.. Except for some characters like Kuhn and Yuri who kinda carried this show for me. Well, what i do have to point out is that this final episode managed to make me interested and giving another shot at this if it ever gets a 2nd season, so yeah, kudos for this last episode.

Last but not least... Fuck Rachel

6/10, i believe this anime has the potential to go even further and draw me in easily

Done watching the show. Rachel is the only interesting character in the show. The only one with complexity. Most of the characters are one dimensional and tropey. Bam is shallow and pretty awful.

Rachel might be seen as “bad“ I guess but she’s by far the most human character in the show.

I liked the episode, thought it was really good how they answered some questions about Rachel and her motives, but then created new ones at that. Solid end but I want more!

7/10 for season one but since I liked it and I'm biased. I will bump it up to 8/10

Lots of potential coming soon

It really just ended when things are getting interesting... Well, I'll read the webtoon.
Rachel is a very disgusting person but as a character, she's interesting, I like that. It was particularly interesting to see her internal conflict when it came to kill Bam, and how she ultimately pushed him because she realised he became the popular one. Also interesting to see how she actually clearly liked that Bam was putting her on a pedestal. Of course, since she consequently was his star. But she's completely insane, isn't she ? I really wonder if there is something sadder about her story, what she's been through... I have doubts about it considering how this episode kept insisting about her being a real despicable person at heart but I'm hoping to be surprised.
And now, Bam is finally deciding to walk by himself... But I really feel bad for him. I'm surprised so many people disliked him because at the end, I found him to be pretty endearing. He's like a kid actually... And now he's been betrayed by the one he loved with all his heart.
Overall this show had its flaws, a bunch of them, but it was pretty good nonetheless. The biggest issue would be how rushed it was, too many things were confusing or were lacking some real impact due to a lack of build-up.
But the ost was great (Kevin Penkin, thank you for existing), the story was interesting, the characters all had their own personality and most of them were quite intriguing... So while it wasn't a masterpiece it made me want to see more. I'll raad the webtoon from the beginning considering all the missing scenes, but I can't wait to reach the part where everything really starts.
I give this show a 6/10 ! Flawed, but fine nonetheless.

Overall this adaptation really should have been better..it was still enjoyable but they really dumbed down Baam, Endorsi, Khun etc. as characters and a few moments lacked impact in comparison (ending for an example).

I still hope that we get a second season but it needs to be way better

How is it possible for the tower to pick the wrong person, if it’s like magic, don’t tell me that was cause one was next to the other. So, Rachel’s motivations are all envy and ambition, she wants to be especial, I think that I need to know more about Rachel’s past, in what point of her life she met Bam and what happened before and after that made her what she is. Yeah, Bam is in all a good boy, but if he lived in a cave for almost the entirety of his life, he must be an antisocial, normally attached to Rachel, as I said before, so many things unexplained. I thought that Rachel was a princess and for Hwa Ryun actions, that she was her guide, I think I was wrong. After all, I think Lero Ro is in the same position as me, too much corrupt people in power positions.

this episode >>>>>>>> the rest of the series

I really liked how it focused on Rachel. Idk if that's the reason why people hate her, but imo she was portrayed not as a pure antagonist but as more complex, as she is grappling with her feelings of guilt and her envy for Bam. It makes me annoyed but also sympathetic towards her. The OST was godlike. Khun best boy he wanted to meet Bam first because he cares about him a lot more than Rachel.

As for the rest of the show, I thought the pace was too fast and many things were not properly explained, which hindered my enjoyment. I would give it a 5/10 because it seemed unoriginal and all characters are bland (so far)

Pretty good finale. Loved the use of soundtracks and how they gave more explanations to Rachel's actions, they explained the added anime original content where Rachel told Endorsi she can kill everyone (that bothered me at first)

I am a bit bothered with the change where Khun can already tell that Rachel had something to do with Bam's death. I mean its not bad, but wouldn't that kinda affect that one Oscar-worthy scene between Rachel and Khun in the second season? (which I hope there will be) ksjdhfsdf

"I wish I met Bam before you" AS A CERTIFIED KHUNBAM SHIPPER I AM CRYING,, IM NOT GONNA COMPLAIN HOW ANIME KHUN IS A BIT DIFFERENT FROM WEBTOON KHUN LIKE IM GLAD I CAN ENJOY THESE TWO VERSIONS OF HIM

definitely enjoyed this. the character cast is very diverse, lots of likeable characters. Loved the OST.. Kevin Penkin did an amazing job. Production was very solid.

Story felt rushed at certain points for sure, but it didn't feel like a deal-breaker. The story and world concept in itself is just fun. It's a good watch.

The ending of this episode left me wanting more. Hope they will produce a sequel.

"I wish I met Bam before you”

It almost sounds like Khun knows, or has some idea of what happened.

For me, the most important part of any long running series, regardless of the medium, is the world building. After all, if its a world I'm going to be spending a lot of time in, it better be compelling. Tower of God nails this in a way that very few other shows do. Every detail feels carefully and intentionally constructed, and yet they all flow and fit together so naturally. Absolutely stunning, and I'm sure the webcomic does it even better.
