Holly this show is a mess, manhwa's really don't seem to have a good start breaking into anime, hopefully the next one is better.

Can't be to early to judge, got a lot left to go, but if it continues on as it is now the show will be forgotten in a few seasons.

I don't know what the trope is called nor do I know how it was taken in the manhwa but I believe sometimes tries too much epicness.

It's probably because of the 13 episode limitations. What crunchyroll should have done was instead of choosing three popular webtoons and dividing the budget(which may have limited the episodes?), they should have just chosen one with all the budget. If it turned out to be a success, they could proceed to adapt another webtoon.

The Tower of God adaption was average at best but could have been great. This God of Highschool adaption could be great since the director and author seem to really care but it potentionally could have been amazing or even more had crunchyroll really thought it through.

I honestly have no idea what is even going on! The absolute lack of direction is so obvious, And you guys honestly fell for the cool animation and music in order to ride the dick of this anime.

It's pretty mediocre so far let's be honest

All of them are from different directors, so no, you can't compare them.

As an anime only, I have enjoyed these past couple eps. I have a feeling though that they may have rushed through/skipped some of the webtoon? Can readers confirm this? It just feels a little rushed especially how quickly the trio became buddies + feels like some of the character development was sped through, but the animation and the fights are really great and the plot seems like it's gonna get interesting so I can kind of ignore the pacing a little. I do think it's disappointing that they had to sacrifice better development to fit these stories into 12 episodes though, hopefully with a potential future sequel they'll be able to push the episode limit up considering the popularity and success of TOG.

I've not read it so only going based on entirely first impressions. I wish it either focused on the fight scenes to near exclusivity or gave a bit more meat to the backstories. Of course it's only two episodes in but it feels like it's tried to fit too much of both in; to their detriment.

I was super hyped after the first episode and then bam, it entirely lost it's focus and momentum and felt rushed.

this episode was 90% on fire

the tournament was super lit and the fights where thrilling and that pre fight interaction was good

the other 10% was the lack of proper world building as it goes for that weird panty guy (what happen) the infiltration of the organization in the us headquarters and why tf everyone lives so close to each other

it either becomes a full 100% lit if the revelations and side story converge to importance of the main fights or it will be a wacky 70/30 of being cool/bad if they leave it at that.

 
Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living

This has become one of my favourite anime of the year so far, in terms of balls to the wall action.

There isn't much of a plot to speak of yet, and we've only seen glimpses of characters and their backstories, but I'm still enjoying it for now. Hopefully we'll get more as the series progresses.

Getting Goku vibes from the MC.

Hopefully MAPPA doesnt rush through the story of Jujutsu Kaizen and AOT S4 as well or Imma be really mad. Dont care much for the story of GOH tbh.

MAPPA most recent work Dorohedoro was quite rushed but it was still very enjoyable, so i think MAPPA might be able to pull off 'rushed pacing adaptation'. Tho ideally they shouldnt but if the amount of content they want to cover is less than 2 seasons' worth, it cant be helped. its better than dragging out with fillers imo. i hope they make at least 2 seasons, 26-28 episodes for AOT

I think people need to realise that webtoons are mostly written by amateurs. While I do think the anime suffers from rush pacing, the source material itself is not great. I have read a number of webtoons, while I havent read TGOH, when I was watching TOG while reading the webtoon, the writing is still bad. I'm not saying webtoon authors cant write good stories, but i think we should cut them some slack. The anime really didnt help their case though.
I really hate TOG and learned from it that webtoons are really hard to be adapted in terms of pacing, not to mention it was an originals adaptation (looking at you Netflix). The only reason I was hyped about this show is that it was made by MAPPA that is very consistently good for the past few years and the trailer looks amazing. I came to this show only for the animations and without any expectations for the plot or character. I got it to my full satisfaction. Best in terms of animation this year. That's good enough. I just hope it doesnt end up like Gleipnir where only the first 2 episodes and last episode got the best animations though.

I can see why so many people like this adaption. It just fits the 10 seconds attention span of today's kids. The anime just shows something new every couple of seconds so the Fortnite generation doesn't get bored. Personally I really like the animation style and I have to admit that the fights in the Webtoon version are sometimes hard to follow, but as someone who's not hyperactive, the pacing is just too fast and the story is left behind at the moment.

I never understood why so many people complained about the missing parts and rushed story in Tower of God, because imho they didn't skip anything important except of maybe that one dialog between Bam and the test director. As someone who read the Webtoon after the anime, I didn't get any new information that I found important. But I can see why people complain about the adaption of GoHS, because almost all story related elements are skipped at the moment.

Thissss.. I'm also an anime viewer. I do feel like they rushed it but for some odd reason, it doesn't bother me. I feel like we got brief introductions with those 3 and it seems to be enough (as of now). We're only 2 episodes in so it's too soon to be able to say anything. Let's see how this will end.

Its second butthe series have weird direction and bland as possible characters. The animation that main selling point has dropped. The number of characters and their role is generic as well. The cross guy is OP so far, but I have feeling that star eyed MC is the most OP of all in that tournament. Overall lackluster episode and best thing happen this episode is constant shilling of product.

Love ep 2. But the beginning bit about the sword and machinery on the neck made me hella confused. I thought I missed an end credit scene from the opening ep or something, but apparently it's just like that? Like.... dufuq????

I'ts not often that I have an issue with anime flow. Gotta knock it down 0.5 points from its score for now. If the action pack and storyline stays great, I can overlook it.

Yeah ! I totally agree with you. I think if it continues to rush things it could start feeling quite jarring, but I'm hoping that it will only improve from here and I still really enjoyed these two eps despite my qualms. I'm excited to see where it goes :D

Exactly my freakin point. Wasn't it supposed to be a battle royale? Then why's there more than one contender. Also what happened to the fight between Jin and that other big evil dude? I thought they would've picked up where they left from, but they didn't. It feels WAY TOO rushed, and I don't even read webtoon and I can already tell that this is rushed.
Nothing to do untill someone who read the webtoon come & explains it to us!!!


The battle royale was just to eliminate the fodder. Like the last 32 participants standing qualifies.
The fight between Jin and the prison dude was interrupted by Mira who broke Jin's neck(as shown in flashback & Jin was barely standing after that so wasn't eliminated).

It's quite sad but I would expect more confusion in the coming weeks as the anime will adapt 112 chapters in 13 episodes and till now it has only covered up to Ch13(considering the skipped part it only has adapted 10 chapters) which means they have to adapt almost 10 chapters per episode or cut the shit out of it.

Can't stand the main girl, annoying. Kinda rushed of how quickly they became friends.

The fight was pretty good, I don't like that they try to victimize the black dude but overall was amazing. -.-

I really love this anime already! The animation, the characters, the colors, the story, everything in the anime feels so alive and energetic and it fills my heart with joy! I haven't felt this excited and hyped for an anime ever since One Punch Man came out five years ago.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!

I loved every second of it, and I have very high hopes, hopefully this will turn out to be amazing in the long run.

Well, the tournament is progressing fast. I enjoyed the characters’ motivations and the little background that we got, I’m especially liking Daewi, having a strong reason to fight is part of being a fighter. Even I, felt Mira’s anger. I felt like Manseok was only used to introduce a power that we’re gonna see more during the show development, like a little villain, I thought he would be more, but I’ll wait for what the show offers me. An ability named charyeok, or something.
