Kami no Tou: Ouji no Kikan Episode 1 Discussion

@MegamiRem I might be in the extreme minority but I always pronounced it as FUG together than separately when reading it so it felt more normal to me. It rolled off the tongue a lot smoother and natural that way for me. Kind of like how NASA is said as NASA and not just N, A, S, A separately.

it was ok, good thing i didn't expect much, the fight scene were decent tho

Exactly my thoughts. Nothing was explained/hinted about any time skip or whatever, shit just happens, Bam now seems like an edgy bad guy, we get introduced to new characters and we are supposed to know tf is going or like what? If this won't be explained later on, it's gonna be shame honestly.

@Prox1mately Rachel threw Bam off and wanting to kill him due to Headon/Yu Hansung stating that Rachel had to get rid of Baam to be able to go to the top of the tower, and ultimately she wanted to be a star and was jealous of Bam being the star so she wanted to take his role and committed to throwing him off. Baam survived with Hwaryun the red hair chick and she offered to help him reach the top of the tower with him joining her after he was betrayed. At the minimum, he wants answers from Rachel for why she did what she did, and that involves him having to climb the tower. He's got friends there too that he wants to catch up to as well additionally primarily and doesn't exactly love the tower since it forced Rachel to act like this and betray him in the process. That's the extent I can say about that part without spoiling further info.

TImeskip is 6 years later and Rachel is travelling with Khun Aguero and the rest that passed the second floor at the end of season 1 and advancing up the tower so that is why there is a focus on other characters this time around that are on their own journeys to advance the tower for the time being with Jyu Viole Grace and Ja Wangnan being the main characters in this part of the journey. More info (some very obvious compared to others) will be revealed but did as much as I can without spoiling.

@GTRaijin Because story was constructed this way, but if it would make things better for you - after this first mini arc they would explain everything what happened in between the seasons

I honestly don't know why I even try to watch these shows. Most of the time I just drop it after a few episodes, but there was something that seemed to pull me to finish the first season. This is an issue I see in pretty much anything adapted from manwah/webtoon. Every single character is annoying. I honestly can't see how people actually enjoy watching these things, but everyone's entitled to their opinions and I respect that. I feel like it boils down to cultural differences, and there's always a big chance I'll just drop anything that came out of Korea or China. It's like the isekai trend times 1000. But hey... the adaptation can't be good if the original work never was, right?

well i dont remember much from season 1
but I know that bam was nowhere near this op
kinda excited for ep 2

An improvement in every aspect.

I am glad to see the series has returned.
With growth on all levels of its adaptation to a different medium.

The previous season had high production value.
Yet lacked adaptability to the screen. In so many key parts.
That it didn't fall short it was bad.

Here? They brought even better animation.
A fantastically executed OP.
Alongside its corresponding novel credit sequence.
That was structured as its ED.

Paying homage to the adapted panels from source.
With their own animated adaptation.

Solid solid and solid again.

This is what we needed. To do the series and its setting.
Appropriate justice in an anime form.

They keep this up. And there won't be any complaints.

Clearly the time lag between the past season.
Was used to the fullest and that shows.

I am looking forward to their quality. Now with an execution to back its run.
