Damn bro, you’re so cool for disliking something that was hyped. Please tell us one more time. |
| It's watchable, but the level of these first challenges leaves something to be desired. Not particularly inspired tests and uninvolving performances. Of course, imitating Hunter x Hunter is not easy. |
RealCosmicRook said: Essshke_quirt said: my guy its the second episodeMeh, not really impressed so far. It's a fun action/adventure to watch but the character writing and plot leave much to be desired. I guess it was kinda overhyped after all. This is barely a 6/10. You gave it a 10 lmao. I'm just saying I personally don't see this getting more than a 6-7/10. So what if it's the second episode? |
-------------------------------- |
| Positives: - The animation during the fight was actually not awful compared to last episode. My favorite shot was definitely Rak pointing his spear at Bam and him flinching back quickly, it felt like it was actually not awful. - Rak is in this episode, and he's the most enjoyable character in ToG, so at least we have a mildly enjoyable character in the cast. - Bam not reacting at all to the wall of Shinsu force is the most interesting thing this series has going for it. As someone who read up till around chapter 15, I'm really curious as to what it means that Bam doesn't react to such a powerful force. I'm hoping it means Bam has some strange Anti-Shinsu related power, but I'm guessing it's just that he's THAT STRONG with Shinsu or something because of course that would be what it is. I hope it isn't predictable. Negatives: - Watching them fail to animate the moving mouth of Rak is, in all honesty, depressing. I understand that it would be hard to animate a snout in a way that seems like natural speech, but just seeing him flap up and down like a Muppet looks silly. - During the whole discussion between Lero and Bam, while we got a tiny bit of exposition we actually didn't really get any answers as to what is going on. It seems weird that we spent so much time in that scene when in all reality very little happened, when the fighting scene felt abrupt and like a short burst in comparison. Overall, I'd give this one a 6/10. It was fine, better than the last episode at least. |

| Pretty good episode, but not much better than the first(in my case, the first one was also good) IMO. |

You think everyone would agree with the scores you give to your favorites. I doubt it. If he thinks it is a 10/10, then it is for him. Also the only reason he said that it is the second episode, it is unfair to say at best this score this early. Limiting a show based on 2 episodes when you have 13 is ludicrous. I'm not asking anyone to agree and I don't expect everyone to agree with my scores. I just don't need some dude who gave it a 10 already (highest possible score LOL) telling me I'm being unfair because it's only the second episode. Sure, it has potential to get a bit better but I'm fairly certain it won't reach above a 7 for me personally. |

| I don't even know why but i honestly enjoyed it. Looks like i'll be in for the whole series As a bonus i'm really also liking the OP and ED |

He skipped it because "Irregular pass". |
NecroChan03 said: Clubby said: they actually managed to make an episode worst than last week's, that's a surprise. The only saving grace for this episode was the "fights" (the little we got) and the scenery, bland as it was. That 1970's style room didn't help at all and it just felt as though they were trying to make this series look bizarre just for the sake of looking bizarre. "your ability to climb this tower is down to luck" this killed the entire series for me. relying on luck to tell a story is actual garbage, because now instead of getting good to climb it, it's obvious that annoying MC kid will just get lucky and barely pass every single test, looking like an underdog when he's just "lucky". Also the comedy in this episode fell flat on it's face. They ridiculed the one OP character for some quick laughs, and made him look stupid all throughout the episode, making him into a good guy over some snacks? really? Also that jumpsuit kid is the most annoying character in this series, i physically cringe whenever he's on screen. So far the only interesting character is probably Yuri, but they'll find a way to mess her up too. This episode was a lot better than the first one. Mostly because it seemed less rushed and they stayed close to the novel. One thing I will say is that Lero Ro was using “luck” as an excuse to get rid of a lot of the regulars. If you read the webtoon, you will understand that not much is based on luck but rather planning and skill. Like I said, he only used that as an excuse. Trust bro, it gets a lot better if they decide to stay on this path and keep it good. "read the webtoon" the amount of times i've seen that reply in the span of a week is ridiculous why would i read the source material of a show i don't like? |

| I’m really interested in the past. The few flashbacks from Bam and Rachel make me curious. Hopefully more will come. |
 |
| It may be too late to say this but, beware of spoilers, anime-turtles |
| Still convinced the only good thing about this series is the music; at least some elements of lore was explored. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Good episode...this is giving me serious Hunter x Hunter vibes. |
| Well I was thinking the four of them should've teamed up last episode and it's cool that Rak was forced to join. Gives me some Kaiman vibes but with the "Fight everyone" retardation Bam's still fucking appaling as a MC. Terribly bland, annoying and uninteresting. Also the fact that he's considered handsome despite looking like a 14 year old is pretty funny. So far it's very heavily inspired by Hunter x Hunter. I hope it's going to take flight on its own in the future because while it's watchable it just looks like classic shounenshit we've seen hundreds of time before. |
| I'll never understand people who come into these forums to trash on a show every week and insult fans of said show. How do you hold so much negativity? More importantly, how do you have so much time to spend on something you don't even care about???? Couldn't be me. The second I don't like something, I drop it and move on like a normal person. |
| Damn this was wayyy better than the first episode, I got so into it and immersed the episode ended.. I felt like I was robbed from my enjoyment. Like a rapist put into prison. |

She is like his sister, mother, and friend all in one. She is the only one he knows and he doesn't want to be left alone. He's not going up the Tower for her, but more for him. But of course, things will happen along the way. You don't need answers to things like this right away. Just watch, and enjoy! |
| Things are starting to get very interesting! I can tell I'm going to like Shibisu as a character, he seems funny & that Eguchi Takuya voice 👍 |

| HE'S ONCE AGAIN REINCARNATED, TSUDA KENJIROU, IMMORTAL AND EVERYWHERE, I CANNOT AVOID HEARING HIS VOICE IN EVERY FUCKING ANIME EACH SEASONS SINCE LAST YEAR ! Don't know why they tried to inject comedy which was almost completely absent last episode, the timing was on point for some jokes but the tone shift is rough when you see two people laughing with corpses around. I wonder why it feels so slow and so fast at the same time but meh, I like the trio for now, they have amazing seiyus and a somewhat good dynamic even if they met an hour ago. |
| This was better than the first episode, and I'm beginning to like the characters we have been introduced to so far. This series has hundreds of chapters (or whatever they're called), so why only make this a 12-13 episode anime? I'm beginning to get HxH vibes, but there is no way it will be able to reach that level of quality if it is rushed. |
| This anime is giving me the same vibe I would get from a lot of the science fiction stories I read from the 1970's. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Good episode, setting is definitely interesting! Characters are interesting but seems I need to invest a bit more in the characters. Bam and Rak so far seem annoying to me, but I hope they will grow on me. Khun seems mysterious, can't wait to see what he's hiding! Also it baffles my mind how "Rachel' is pronounced here... Totally missed that in the first episode, I keep thinking "Ray-chell" when I see it in the subs XD ImWaltz said: This was better than the first episode, and I'm beginning to like the characters we have been introduced to so far.

| Lmao it's only been 2 episodes and fanboys already started a war with trolls. I mean, every webtoon reader knows that 1st season of ToG is just mediocre. People love this series for the things after the first season. Why do you even try to defend it? I already knew all the hype would lead to these kind of guys who're here to just troll fanboys, not to argue. As for the anime, I think as an adaptation it's doing a good job so far. I don't hate the animation and they're doing well presenting this new world we've been introduced. But no matter how good an adaptation can be, you can't change the source material. As I said, first season of ToG is pretty much a generic shounen that people've seen many times. And these first two episodes already shows that. Does this mean it's bad? No. Does this mean it's good? Also no. It just means we'll have see how it diverts from other shounens in the future. I had that patience, but some people don't have it unfortunately and you can't blame them something like this. |
