| I must be crazy to not hate Rachel when everyone else does, in fact, I like her more than before lol. Not that what she did was right, but she's a complex character and I like what she brings to the development of the series. What's worse for her is that she was simply being used... I wonder what they're planning to accomplish with Bam. I loved this show, it was so much fun and week after week it left me wanting more. I really liked the story and the characters, as well as the VA. Saori Hayami is just amazing, the years go by and she keeps showing how talented she is. It's always a pleasure to hear her voice. Rie Suegara also did a fantastic job as Endorsi, it's a shame she has so few roles. Endorsi best girl! But Yuri was great in the few moments she had, I'd like to see more of her. With all that said, season 2 please! |
| Oh man. This was a pretty poor adaptation direction-wise. All important story moments felt incredibly anticlimactic. Anak crying when Baam died? wtf is this forced nakama narrative? Kevin Penkin did a good job with OST, but I felt there wasn't much of it, though? Like 7-8 tracks? Why? Art was unique and I'm ok with it, but animation felt like a roller coaster. Why was it good in this and the previous ep, but for the rest was kinda meh? It felt like each episode was done by different people. Fighting scenes were just bad. Shinsu representation felt off either. 6.5/10 |
 |
| 8/10 cause Khun, imo by far the best character of the series. I havent read the webtoon so I cant compare, but I felt 13 episodes really rushed, Also confusing sometimes |

| Man and finally Tower of God has ended. As an adaptation, this anime was exceptionally mediocre. They changed so many important scenes, character decisions, amazing lines and put in anime original scenes and comic relief, both of which were not too great. As an adaptation, this would be probably 6/10. However, I had started to think of this anime as it's own thing a few episodes back. Looking at it that way, this was pretty engaging. I really loved the art style and the OST. Kevin Penkins is godly. Also, this episode was easily the best one out of all the previous ones. They developed Rachel much more than the Webtoon here. Many extra scenes. Would probably rate it 8.5/10. And by the way, in the last shot, is that who I think it is? Oh boy! Season 2 Hype! |
| Interesting take on Rachel's motivations and what led her to choosing to betray Bam. I don't think it is as simple as Rachel was wicked from the start, she too was manipulated - but you could also argue it was up to her to make the right choice regardless. |
alhiris said: dc22 said: Finally this trash is over. Rachel would be a good character if her motivations weren't so vague/basic. Solid 1/10 I think u mean solid trolling, lmao. Like is Fairy Gone higher quality than this anime? I think from anyone's perspective it's at LEAST as good. But ye, if you really think it's a 1, u're completely right, and probably trolling. Can't judge Fairy Gone completely because I dropped it after 1 episode. For all it's faults ToG is at least an interesting trainwreck. Is that worth raising the score a bit? Idk. |
Inferno792 said: The thing I hate about this episode is that the reveals it makes are things that haven't even been shown in the webtoon. What is this? A fanfic? Might as well be. This smug-ass director thinking he’s being original and smart LMAO |
Anyone else getting a little Berry from Rachel.. |
| Finally it's over I'm quite disappointed with the adaptation, the only person who did a good job was Kevin Penkin 6/10, I hope for a S2 but this time with budget and handled by another and competent studio |
| Rachel in this episode was the closest person to be a well made character, but it still has he same problem as everyone else: They don't care about explaining what are her motivations. "Becoming a star" is just a cheap excuse for the author not to touch on the subject and focus on shounen shit. But it feels like not only the characters, but everything in this show feels empty. The worldbuilding is shaped around the plot, and not the opposite (the existence of the tower and test are there just to make your typical shounen challenge arcs and not because it makes sense to exist in that world). The author doesn't understand how to create tense scenarios, and even less about epicness, and the bad execution of this elements creates a childish and uninteresting story. 3/10. The only one who did an acceptable job was Kevin Penkin, but I still belive his music fits much more for shows like Made in Abyss. This is definitely a good contender for most overrated show of 2020, since most of the complaints are only about the adaptation, while the story itself is completely generic, uninteresting and childish. Like Kimetsu no Yaiba, this shows how the anime community overpraise anything that resembles the childish shounen type of storytelling, and ignore actual qualities that could made a story interesting, like actual character personal moments, extremely tense scenes/high stakes scenario and, of course, well structured and written story |

| Somehow Rachel makes the story worth watching loved it best episode |
| 2 best things about this episode 1. More Hwaryun screen time (best girl) 2. Viole screen time <3 |
| Now that this anime is over i can say with all my heart...RACHEL CAN GO TO HELL, BIG FUCKING TIME!!! |
| It was a fairly decent show. Had a big pacing problem imo. Which chapter do I start reading from? |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Fuck you, Rachel. I'm not falling for your pity party. Keep your eyes on the stars because you'll never be one. Anyway, overall - I dunno about this show. The art style is straight-up ugly to look at. I'd be watching a scene and I'd constantly be thinking, "Gosh, this looks terrible". It was distracting. They went for a style and it didn't work for me sadly. The anime story itself wasn't terrible and I liked a couple of the characters but I was pretty bored at times. It's not really my sort of thing. It's between meh and fine. So I give it a low 6/10. |
  🔥 🔥 🔥 . 阿良々木 暦, 傷 物 語 . 🔥 🔥 🔥 Build a man a fire and you'll warm him for a night but set a man on fire and you'll warm him for the rest of his life... - H E N D Y - |
| So Rachel is the light in the darkness and darkness in the light. I figure perhaps she is that small dot in the yin and yang on both sides. Quite sad. |
| I wished they adapted epilogue chapters more instead of some original anime scene smh.. Not really good adaptation, they changed too much especially endorsi part 4/10 |
 |
| Not even Saori's voice made this piece of utter garbage person full of jealousy palatable. Bam was always way too good for her. If only Khun met him first. If only. I feel like this episode didn't follow webtoon too closely (not like the others did much, the directing was really poorly done) but dunno how I feel about it here. It was almost interesting to see slightly different take on it. But yeah, as someone else said...it kinda felt like fanfic. Fan anime. Haha............. I loved seeing Hwa Ryun. And Viole at the end, mmmm. But to be fair, I agree the characters were portrayed kinda bland in the anime. If I didn't already love some of them to bits over the years, I probably wouldn't start from this adaptation alone. It just....lacks. This way though, I can just be like, well it sucked, but I got to see the characters I love animated, yay. Hopefully this show gets S2 and better staff it deserves so we can actually see the better parts of the story...with decent adaptation. Fingers crossed. |

| Need to make new sig. Soon. Maybe. |
| They expanded Rachel's personality here. I kind of like that part. Though, my hate for her doesn't change. I don't like the way they shortened Lero Ro's resignation and Quant getting fired. The scene was so awesomely dramatic and hilarious as well. But, I guess that was the only place where they could have cut things out. I thought the cute guy with the white T shirt had died. Yet, he's alive here. In the webtoon, he fails, and can't climb the tower anymore. We saw Viole!! That makes me feel like we may get a second season. Rachel's creepy laughter from season 2 got moved here, but it fits. Khun said he wished Bam met him before Rachel. So, he wants Bam to look at him the same way Bam always looked at Rachel. Plot wise he declared a war against Rachel, and its absolutely awesome; I know. But, I can't ignore how cute he sounds when he cares about Bam. Hope we get a second season since it has a lot more moments like these |
| Like Ishigami said, go to hell bitch |
 |
| The most overrated show of this season and it's not even good at all. Also, fuck Rachel, that jealous bitch. 2/10 |
 |
Oh my God! That's such an accurate comparison! Lol. |
| The whole thing was just ''ok'' but still was just entertaining enough to keep me watching each week. 6/10, but leaning more towards a 5/10. Kinda enjoyable but overrated anime. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| And now.. Tower of God is over. Good series, funny and interesting.. just waiting for the next season |
| bad anime, shipped for arms/kpopers |
| Was nice to see Rachel's side of the story, how everything transpired to her betraying Bam! I do feel that there's a few in the group of remaining people, like Khun, who aren't buying it what happened. Khun has already shown to outsmarting everyone in there! Now, this wasn't an easy watch.. I really liked ToG, but it did come with one big flaw and that is the pacing... Overall, I liked it! I like (most of) the characters, Khun is amazing, Endorsi and Yuri are best girls and all the other characters are pretty likeable! Sound was great, OP is an absolute banger, will miss that! Kevin Penkin did a solid job on the soundtrack again. If it wasn't for the sound and chracters, this would have been a 5/10 for me, but 7/10 it is! Hope that if we get a second season, the pacing needs to improve! |

| I was here on the forum from EP1 to EP13. And you what? Not applying to everyone but MOST READERS don't watch this anime for its anime, they watch it for the webtoon which move them far away from the viewpoint the anime appeal. Bias since start~ It's sad and disgusting how I see the reader fan community couldn't keep shut their mouth from trash talking about Rachel since ep 1. From an anime standpoint, I still see nothing wrong with her decision. She wanted be something and she is forced into a situation where she have to resort to abc etcs in order to obtain it. Jealousy at this level is nothing compare to what I have seen in hundreds of other anime. Basically, everyone wanted to shine. This shit is normal. However, the ones that are in the wrong and give other hopes and pushing them to do bad things are never get the attention and never will be hated in their community. Yes, I'm talking about the mastermind rabbit and the administrators behind the tests. Rachel isn't that bad to be treated as whore/hoe. It's the tower. Do you not watch the anime for the anime itself? shame on ya for giving out the stupid chara hate. idc about future content this is a anime page :V #RachelDidNothingWrong She's not even at this level, no sympathy or realizing one own action like these   |

| [quote=Inferno792 message=60075116]The thing I hate about this episode is that the reveals it makes are things that haven't even been shown in the webtoon. What is this? A fanfic? [/q Daver_ said: An anime only perspective: I really like the time they dedicated to Rachel’s character. My opinion of her shifted many times during her story from her perspective, but the laugh at the end solidified my opinion of her. I’m not sure what the Director is like planning. Why did he fake Bam’s death with the help of the red head navigator? The ost continues to be the best thing about this anime. All I can say is it all went according to plan. |
| And with that the prologue is over and we can really get started with the story and what the hype is actually about |
| Ugh Rachel is so petty i cant even sympathize with her past revealed |
 |
| Rachel, you are now officially the filthiest person in anime. Good job trash, you've even passed the rice assasin guy with a big gap. I hope you will be killed brutally by Bam. Dear Bam, I was guessing that you will be punished because of your naivety, it turns out I was right. Actually, it's more like a prize to him since he will power-up greatly. Also, the guy in the last scene was clearly Bam. So he killed someone in order to achieve his ideals, nice! After 13 episodes finally he started to realize how god of tower works. I guess because of their debt to Bam, the team will gave Rachel some power-up for plot and she will become the antagonist. After that, they will fight ofc and Bam's friends probably gonna die in that war. Finally, Bam will probably kill Rachel in order to climb, same dilemma from this episode. Lastly, I think he is going to be the God Of Tower with killing the current one, in order to change the system of it. We will see. |

For all it's faults ToG is at least an interesting trainwreck. Is that worth raising the score a bit? Idk. Well it's up to you. Like to me it didn't really feel that boring or bad. Like I always remind myself that they had to adapt a bunch of chapters and that probably damaged the quality, also Bam is a super boring character at least in the beginning, which is normal if you look at where he comes from. What I'm trying to say is that I believe this first 70ish chapters of the manhwa didn't have the best/ most interesting story, but they did a fine job adapting it. Like if you look objectively to the source material and the adaptation, you will realize they literally ran through the chapters at full speed, and also kinda keeping the story together. I'm not sure why they adapted so many chapters in a 12 episode, but I guess it has to do with the fact that it's a first manhwa adaptation. Like it's normal to hate the first season, it really wasn't good but I rated it higher just for the only reason that it was the only way to build the road toward the better season(s)(which I hope we get some more). |

| 5:55 "I mean, wasn't he supposed to die for me?" WTF IS THIS KIND OF ENTITLED THINKING? THIS GODDAMN BITCH OF A THOT!!! YORU PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES! SHE'S NOTHING LIKE THE ANGEL THAT YOU THINK OF HER. SHE'S INCARNATION OF JEZEBEL!! |

> Awkward tonal shifts Endorsi vs crocodile girl: A serious fight is going on and then the anime decides to dick around by inserting a comedy skit. > hollow obnoxious your basic archetype characters Endorsi: A badass girl saying badass dialogues and doing badass things, Koon: your typical sidekick of the incompetent MC that takes a liking to the MC for god knows what reason (Killua that you?). Crocodile guy: Your typical obnoxious sidekick that fools around... > anything goes series of tests The passing requirements of one of the test were to simply pass through any of the gate. The test basically implied that being cautious is not a good trait. Ok. > use of unimportant disposable side characters' deaths to create tension giving a backstory to a character that has had a total screen time of <5 mins and then killing him/her doesn't evoke any type of emotion. > misplaced "nakama power" trope I ate with a guy at the cafeteria 2-3 times so now I am fully prepared to risk my life for him. |

| Always had doubts in Rachel and unfortunately they turned out to be true . The episode made us sympathize with her because of how she was used by Headon to end Bam's life , but after all that she was consumed by jealousy which made her lose an important thing to her and at the same time she gained the right to climb tower. It's kind of Ironic . The adaptation was good , The art wast alluring and the OSTS were great although I didn't really like the build-up that happened in the first few episodes it was kind of unnecessary and in the final episodes of the anime it started getting better because a lot of things were being revealed and it made it more interesting . I don't think anyone should wait for a second season because a lot of the Manhua readers are saying that the adaptation is not really loyal to the Manhua and it skipped many things and It's better to read the Manhua if we want to grasp the true story of TOG . So yea it was a really fun , interesting watch and hopefully the next Crunchyroll Production is better than this one C: . |
