THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
ToG continues to impress every week. Every episode hooks me more and more and this ep built upon that. Some great animation during the selection placement as usual. Anaak and Androssi’s fight was dope. Her origin story explains why she’s got a chip on her shoulder. Can’t wait to see how that resolves itself next week.

“ I know all about self indulgent women. I don’t want to let you near her” Shoutout to Khun for being such a bro.

Found it hilarious that Hoh tried to flex like he was ok after forming a contract to seem strong lol.

I love how every episode is gradually building more and more lore. As someone who’s not had a chance to read much of the manwha yet, it’s some of the best world building I’ve seen. AOTY contender for sure if this finishes strong.

It was a fine episode, don't think it was as good as ep 4 but nonetheless at least not as frustrating as the last episode.

3/5

This episode we learn about more of the side characters including Anak and Endorsi and their family issues.

I enjoyed the part when everyone is having interactions with each other and casually becoming friends, it was cute. Also, Khun is such a great friend with Bam trying to protect his feelings on Rachel.

this world-building is getting better and the animation seemed more exciting and lively to me.

That end twist was pretty crazy!! Anaak isn't really Anaak after all, an imposter just like Endorsi been saying! Good ole revenge story since her mom the real Anaak was killed by I suppose the other princesses since that's what she said. I wonder how she got the Green April then but maybe it was her mom's or something idk. Good amount of of world building this episode moving onto the next test. Assigning these Positions almost like class selection in an RPG. Bam is of course set to put that Shinsu to use after his big explosion last episode. Along with the girl he hurt pretty bad. Rak aptly assigned to spear bearer with that but lance he's got. Hatz and Shibisu having to make friends was a good laugh. Endorsi has a sharp tongue mouthing off to (fake) Anaak. during their chase fight as well the conversation very entertaining. Khun wanting to protect Bam is sweet. Makes sense with Khun having gone through something similar before. Rachel motivations need more explaining but I like where it's going. Now strapping in for a good one revenge plot with Anaak.

Damn, I must say that the ending was very spicy. Was kinda static throughout until the end, but I guess we begin to see the potential of the story, each episode giving us a little piece.

So Anaak isn't really Anaak and that's her mother's name. I wonder what her real name is.
Anaak vs Endorsi was nice to see.

It looks like Bam's training is going well and I can't wait to see him use Shinsu at its full potential.

The episode was ok i guess. They skipped some important informations, and the animation (fight and characters animations) was pretty inconsistent (for a seasonal anime with 13 episodes).
Hope they can fix everything if there's a second season.
What do you guys think about the animation?

Rachel opening her past with Bam to Khun, IMHO is like a ticking timebomb awaiting to (eventually) happen. And Rak, don't be illusive that you care for Bam, HEH.

Meanwhile, Anak and Shibisu acknowedging of the former's efforts about the 13 Month weapon series, but Androssi (another Princess of Jahad) calling her a fake? There's some play here...and to make matters worse, their conflict is just the beginning.

But meanwhile, the climb up the Tower brings another test: the Position Test. Other than the position benefit to Bam due to his injuries, he definitely is catching up to her while Khun lays dormant on his lies to Bam to make sure that the both of them do not make any contact while fighting for his dream.

One way I see it is that everyone's had their troubles in this Position Test, though at the starting stages of their designation.

The puller this episode has got to be the cliffhanger of Anak, and her "impostor" status, along with her (quick-paced) backstory. A lizard girl with a license and intention
what a damn. This story's just the prologue, but it's still heating up!

It was a very good episode. Not my favorite one since it felt a bit static and fast (which I expected), but still one that had a lot going for it. Nice seeing some of Anaak's past near the end of the episode, and seeing Hwa Ryun without the whole black suit on was really neat too.

To be honest, as a webtoon reader I actually liked the pacing of this episode. Even if there is much to be desired as there are many scenes being left out, they did a great job overall preserving the most important information. I suspected the 'training' chapters are gonna be condensed into 1 episode ever since Baam made the flashy Shinsoo explosion, now it is confirmed.

Best episode so far. It was a little bit over the place, but I'm starting to like this show. Rak, Anaak and Khun scenes were nice. Rachel was a bitch as I thought, as an anime-only, I could see that coming without prior knowledge of the source material.

In the webtoon, Rachel simply asked Khun to give him a banana. I don't have any idea why they change such a simple scene. It seems that they like exaggerating the events. The same thing also happened at the end of the previous episode, when Bam turned into Shinsu.

I was eager to see how they will turn the shinsu enhancement thing into the anime since it was handled well in the webtoon, and the result was pretty much disappointing. The webtoon handled this scene far better.

Having said that, Anak's flashback was really good. The music, voice casting, and narration were really good. The anime conveyed the tension better than the webtoon.

Overall, in my opinion, Crunchyroll should have chosen a better studio for TOG. Up until now, the webtoon was better than anime. It is unfortunate since some stories, such as demon slayer and Tower of God, have the potential that their anime version surpasses the original material.

I understood that reference hahaha.


Overall nice episode. It's a calm before the storm episode before the next test which is the hide and seek.
Nice explanation of the roles. I wish they included the part where if you are too OP, you can do multiples roles at once =D or how the wave controller is the rarest positions of the 5.

A character who seeks revenge for their family's murder is a common archetype in literature. HXH is also one of the many stories which utilized this archetype. What matters is that how TOG will develop this revenge story.

That line still doesn't actually say much, just that she was chosen at some point in the past 500 years. It fails to mention that yuri is over 500 years old and that plenty of people are well over 1000. Shinsu makes people live longer and effectively not age. That was all excluded from episode 1 in the anime right? Along with name dropping pentaminum the #1 ranked irregular.

You have no idea how much I cheered when Bam walked off with his new companions and left Rachel. (If you couldn't tell, I don't like Rachel)

Also, when Hatz said that Khun was ugly he immediately turned to Bam and asked him to prove Hatz wrong oof
