| Another great episode! Mira can actually fight even without her sword. Daewi has great moves too! And Jin Mori just became more OP! What is that fruit that he ate? Is that a devil fruit? lol  |

| The whole anime is so energetic I love it, also the animation is amazing. |
| Yes, Taekwondo! With stands! |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
| Anyone else find it funny that an American and a Korean walk into a boxing ring and are speaking Japanese to each other XD |

| Aaah almost all of the distinct badass looking fighters from the first episode are gone already... I feel like the fights are quite superficial somehow... Flashy without much real martial arts? Oh well still nice so far |
| Hot damn 3 sakuga fights in one episode. MAPPA niceee. Eating fruits to gain powers sounds like One Piece. Han Daewi fight was indeed the highlight. He's fighting because he need money for that ill boy. Damn I'm here to hype not to feel :''''( The last fight got a STANDO xD is that a Persona reference. I wonder if Mori has a stand also xD |

| I can't stand the main character. A happy-go-lucky power house annoying his opponents by lack of caring is a trope, but here, imo, he's earnestly annoying. The dude is hyper and cheerful all the time, the only features he has is his grandpa and liking fruit, he takes nothing seriously because it's child's play for him, he doesn't show his feelings or connect truly with people - why should I care or feel sympathy? Like, he is already the goal of all powers-to-be, the strongest, everybody at the lead pay attention to him and want him (going as far as sabotaging their own). He continues to say how he wants to fight his new "friends" despite the fact that he knows he's stronger and it will crush their dreams. I wish he would just go and fuck with the main tournament host already and leave others to compete between humans. I was told they would go into mysticism, but I hoped for a good tournament arc first. But the tournament is already sabotaged. They don't show fights properly, rules are broken all the time, the facade for the public isn't upheld (they openly summon, judges enter the ring, etc.) Both tension and choreography of the fights took a hit already. And power asspulls are unreal, tbh. And there's some weird fanservice. Like actual working nurses wearing booth babes outfits, or the gagged girl, or the book dude being happy when hit in the balls, or chibis in weird moments, and the goal of the female wrestler. All in all, I had high hopes, but ep. 3 disappoints me. I still enjoy the dynamism, but idk if I will finish this. For me good fights need a proper context to work, in the end. |
AnimeFanTalk said: literally the first episode had a guy who slammed a whole island to kill the lawyers1. Absolutely love the comedy in this episode 2. Breathtaking choreography 3. My love for Yoo-Mina is growing, I really hope that wooden katana gets replaced by a real one or something 1. Unrealistic use of a metal bat. I prefer the swing and smack than what was in this episode 2. Unrealistic use of fruits. Veggie based diets are not the best for fighters to replenish their body. This should be common knowledge to Jin but he eats the fruits regardless. My biggest gripe had to be that ending. A demon just comes out of this guys mouth and Jin starts fighting with it. I don't know if it was made clear that demons would be involved in this but it should've been present in the first episode. The first episode (to me) demonstrates that GOH will be about hand to hand combat now I'm just learning demons are involved? Realism (in terms of fighting) just brought my scoring for GOH a little lower now until it gets explained. Even then, the explanation has to be plausible. |

Why can these dudes have supernatural powers slapping islands and throwing up demons out of their mouth but our MC and almost the entire cast are using hand to hand combat martial arts? I mentioned it here in another reply but I'm all for the supernatural god-demon abilities, I would at least like an explanation cause this last episode just left me with more questions. That blonde guy who Jin wants to fight, does he have a demon? Can we just starting throwing out monsters in a marital art fight? Wheres the honor in that? Whats the point in having a tournament if these commissioners are top tiers with monsters powers? I'm just looking for plausibility in the story. I know it's coming, but until then I'm just calling what I see. |

| It's made me look into the WebToon. |
| Watch this stupid fruit be like the arrow in Jojo where if you eat it and survive you become a stand user. |

| Lmao what is it with these Tokyo Ghoul Re style fight scenes where all you see are a flurry of movement, and then a character all of a sudden getting hit in an after the fact way. This was less apparent within the first episode, but was really clear in the second episode with the MC's triple kick or whatever. Then this episode it happens galore with the bat dude hitting Han. Because animation and style are all GoH has going for it basically, if those start to decline, this might start lookin like a Tower of God adaptation pretty damn soon. |

Is not complaining about everything, is the fact that the story is not reflected in a good manner. ToG is way better in the webtoon because almost everything made sense, but the anime cut and changed a lot of things giving an "overall" familiar feeling to the original, but not being too faithful. ------------------------------------- The animation was quite amazing, but I´m sure all of the fights covered at least an entire chapter in the manwha. Definitively feels rushed. Also, while I like the series so far (it´s a no brainer battle shonen set in a tournament, come on) the characters elude 0 originality. Mori is a copy of Goku, Mira is Zoro/Kuina, and the serious dude is cool, he is the most interesting one. |
| The fights in this show are pretty solid, The end of episode 2 in particular had me hyped. But the slice of life shit in this show makes me want to drop it so badly. Also all the characters suck, hae is alright but mostly because he's quiet. His backstory lame and tropey as hell though. |
| The story telling leaves a lot to desire. Fight choreography is okay, I dig the art and animation and that's pretty much it. |

But, the author himself gave the anime team liberty. I'm pretty sure he gave them permission. You can watch a Crunchyroll feature video as a proof of this. |
DruMzTV said: finished the episode and it got even worse. I truly hope there are people out there who can find enjoyment in this thing. But for an action anime, i need: Better pacing Better directing Better animation Higher frame-rate Better visuals Better Studio Better character designs Less blandness Higher budget not reused footage from the anime in the Opening Better Story in general Better effect animation better SFX this is some hot overhyped garbage right there, but again, if you arent very versed in behind the scenes stuff (animation, directing etc), i hope you can take your enjoyment out of it >Better Frame Rate Hate to break it to you my guy but that's not how 2D anime works. it's all 24 FPS. |
| I was kinda hoping some of the characters in the opening were going to be fleshed out in future episodes. I mean they still can, but I meant as fighters. Or who knows; maybe people who are out come back again. I mean the battle royale certainly didn't have a conclusion. |
| The first fight was awful and short. I'm glad that the last two fights were 100% better (especially the second, I could feel the punches). |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Was that a stand?? |
 |
| this is the perfect example of a rush adaptation, although i never read the manhwa it is obvious that this is rushed as hell. A guy pulling a demon ghost clown out of its ass without any explanation it is not the problem, this is so accelerated that there is no way to assimilate so madness and it becomes totally implausible and boring. |
| Came here expecting a solid martial arts anime . But now there's Devil Fruits and Stands? I'm kinda confused. Ngl, kinda let down since my expectations were really different. Still, it's a good show and I hope it gets better within the superpowered genre too. Excited for the next eps!! 4/5 episode |
| I really enjoyed this episode to say the least. A total of 3 fights occurred in this episode, all of which were entertaining, despite them being short, and the winners being really obvious. Especially, Han's fight was really fun to watch. Han's objective behind winning the tournament is more detailedly explored, which adds a satisfactory amount to his character development. Out of all the seasonals I'm currently watching, The God of High School easily has the best opening and ending. Both of them have catchy songs with great visuals. The soundtrack is also decent. The animation is still very decent. Somehow, the red noses have stopped being a bother for me and I've pretty much gotten used to them. They don't hinder my enjoyment anymore. But I have a problem with the fight scenes. Although I'm not familiar with martial arts, I don't think the fight scenes are a correct representation of martial arts. It's not that big of a problem, though. Overall, a very entertaining episode with lots of action. I'm enjoying this anime quite a lot so far. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |

| This episode was meh, Mira's fight was pretty damn bad, and i dont mean the animation...The whole "i'll get my ass kicked and turn the fight with a one hit KO atack out of nowhere" was done pretty badly, whats the point in using a sword if she is stronger withoud one? then Han fight just went and did the the whole "start losing and turn it around", but it just did it much better, wich served to show how terrible the first fight was in comparrison. I liked the guy's stand at the last fight tho, "martial arts" make an appearance in nothing but name in this, being overly exagerated to hell just like it is in dragon ball, anyone expecting otherwise should have finaly got it now. |

| This episode was very ridiculous. The script of this anime is very weak. Time and some of moments pass unbelievably fast... |
"Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder"~Rumi |
| The fights are pretty hype in this show, but the story this far has lacked substance. After the introductions of the main trio I believe I could have just skipped everything except the fights and not have missed any real character development. The only character that has a motivation that's somewhat interesting to me is Daewi, but I'm not sure it's enough to carry me through the whole series. Hope the story gets more engaging in the future. |
yep, that's the first thing that came to my mind lmao. Now that I look at this, the eyes of this Stand(we haven't been given any name for this in the show as of now) and that of Jin's look alike. Interesting... |

The whole anime is super power based (not like Baki but more like Shaman King). Yeah, they don't do it from the beginning but with every new arc things will be less brawl type and more abilily concentrated. You decide if you can enjoy it or not As for why he enjoyed the fruit that's related to the MC's true identity which you won't find out for a few seasons (been so long, don't remember when it was revealed) |
 |
| Lots of great action this episode as well! It's funny how the matches always start normal and then suddenly the attacks go all super power xD |
 |
| Another pathetic episode animation wise. Talking only of animation cuz it doesn't seem like this anime got anything other than action. The body proportions are still atrocious and not just during in-betweens but in key frames too. The animation while smooth, has a variety of problems. The camera is set weirdly. The perspective is distorted. The combat doesn't flow properly, etc.  Lol. |
 |
| Setting and characters are definitely terrible, but you can't deny it the direction alongside with the production makes the show entertaining. Hopefully it will stay a 7/10 for me. Anything more than that is absurd considering how bad the story is |
