| I agree with what most of the manhwa readers said about the dialogue and such. I also think that with all the worldbuilding and complicated test rules, the original just has the better format because you can take your time to digest everything. If any of the anime watchers are interested in the positions and how many will pass, here is the manhwa picture. "Best Seed" means that they where the best in one of the previous tests if I remember correctly.  |
ZenithXAbyss said: I remember Rak's spear test, so only his category has this kind of test? I thought that each category had a final test.Levais said: How beautiful is the Opening? Anyway Khun is undoubtedly the most interesting character of these first 8 episodes, the classic genius, strategist who never tires, you never know what he can do or think. I don't understand just one thing: why does Rak who obtained the maximum score in his target test not participate, while the others, although sure to pass the test for their score, must participate? The spear bearers had a special test where if you hit the target which was placed far away, you get to pass the whole position test. |
| God damn the animation was HORRIBLE. Again a mediocre at best episode. 5/10 |

ZenithXAbyss said: TTst said: your comment didn't really have any connection with the one you quoted..That's because it was explained awfully, like most things in the anime. Basically, only a limited number can pass for each position. So, if team A got to the exit, everyone in the team would get 100k points, including wave controllers. That means, it would decrease the chance of Bam passing. Since they didn't get to the exit, they will be scored per their performance, and the wave controllers didn't really do much. He did everything he could to ensure his true team passed, since Lauroe and Shibisu already had enough points to pass. How? HeroVladimir93 said he isn't convinced by the way the anime tried to frame Khun's actions as not being betrayal, and I explained that he needed to do that to enable his real team to pass. In other words, it is betrayal of team assigned for the test, to enable the team he chose for himself to pass. |

| Animation was pretty meh this episode and I didn't like some changes the made from the source. The flashback of Serena's past was pretty good though. I hope next episode will have better quality. |
| Thanks to all who helped answer my question. The rules definitely are more lucid to me now. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| Am I the only one who doesn't quite follow wtf is going on with the rules and purpose of this game? The teams don't even act as teams. This is pretty weird and confusing. |
| Twas pretty good, I honestly thought they would win. Was a bit excited too lol. But this unexpected betrayal was refreshing as well. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| At first I also thought Khun had betrayed his team too but as Yu Han Sung said; Team A isn't his team! His loyalty lies with his original team and the allies his made so far. I'm super impressed with how he managed to work out a strategy that would allow his allies on Team A to pass but also give his allies on Team B a chance to pass too and all without making anyone on Team A suspicious! Hoh is definitely gonna be a problem; there's something really off about him. What he said to that girl about killing or doing whatever you need to climb the tower being all 'no hard feelings' was so cold and unemotional... |

I feel the same way. The actions and reactions of the players seem random and without consequence sometimes. I suppose it's an adaptation thing. It must be much expanded upon in more detail, and as a result make much more sense in the source material. |

| Khun's "betrayal" was quite interesting. He's a genius! Leave it to the Rankers to figure out what Khun's real intentions are and not gonna lie, eventho he betrayed most of his team, his real team, which leads back to the scouts assignment wasn't betrayed at all. Good thinking from Khun, but that cliffhanger definitely seems like it's gonna mess around in Khun's strategy, unless he calculated that as well into his plan... Overall it was a good episode! |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode a lot overall even though the animation wasn't the best from what we've seen from the Tower of God so far it was still ok. I liked Khun's master plan, that was an interesting strategy but they changed the one part where Khun duplicates his lighthouse and they don't explain what a lighthouse is probably because they didn't have the time to fit it into this episode so they can have the main focus on the overall plot of the story. Khun is best boi as usual though. Khun's betrayal and the twists and turns Khun came up with were really well done by him. After that, we get Bam's team with best girl Androssi where she already causing more betrayal lol. Can't wait to see what happens with all of that which might all fit into episode 9 but we will have to wait and see. |

| Aside from the culling in the first test which was btw very retarded the show so far has been very wholesome and lighthearted. However it doesn't flow welll with certain scenes, like in the flashback where the thief girl's friends get brutally murdered. 3/5 |

I don't know WTF that line was about. |
| Last episode, Khun said Bam would probably fail if Team A won, and now this episode Leroro said "Khun, Anaak, Shibisu, and Lauroe are currently guaranteed to pass." This episode confused me a bit. I feel like I missed something, but did they already display the ranking of points for the examinees and who's likely who pass? I understand that Khun lost on purpose so that his 10 'friends' would pass, but I thought they would at least explain the numbers/rankings so we have a better idea. |
| I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't see why Shibisu is supposed to be one of the guaranteed passes. He's like one of the weakest there. Also, I guess people from either team can pass? Why wasn't that explained earlier? Fine episode. It's definitely better than last episode. Endorsi's still my favorite character. Edit: Oh I forgot the backstory part. That really did feel so random. |

| Good to see Khun's chess plays but tbh it's my least fav episode. Roronoa Zoro? Didn't know he's climbing the tower. Probably got lost and ended there. |

| I love how Khun is manipulating pretty much everyone. |
 |
| As much as I love the webtoon, the adaptation has been such an underwhelming one so far. For those who love the series might be pitying the series too much. Yeah, we all can assume that the series is running on a very tight budget. The animation and art are one thing, but at least you can work on the direction. It just sucks. If I weren't read the webtoon, I'd be dead confused with the supposed tension of the test, its rules, Quant's fool-yet-intimidating nature as a ranker, and more. They chose to ignore those points and guess what they've been emphasizing in the series so far?? Yes... Rak and Chocobar. A very definition of a recurring annoyance. Yeah, Khun is the only one carrying the series so far. It doesn't deserve 8/10 for sure. |
 |
| Khun is the real MC of this anime. Btw the anime didn't properly explain a simple detail which is the main reason why so many people got confused. The thing is, there is a limited slot for each class to pass. So for example, not every wave controller can pass. Or not every fisherman can pass. These slots may be 2 people, 3 people or more or less for each class we don't know. Each regular also got points during their lessons for their particular classes. That's why some of them are guaranteed to pass thanks to their high performances during their classes. If team A won, all members of that team would get 1k points. So think about it like this: Let's say the wave controllers on team A has 3k+ points each. And if they win, they would have 4k+ points. Laure probably has much more points than others since we know he is guaranteed to pass. So one slot is already taken. And let's say Bam has 2.5k points. Even if his team won, he would have 3.5k points which is lower than other wave controllers in team A. Thus, Bam would fail. |
nanimeanswhat said: It's now time for Kami no Uragiri. Quite a good episode with worse animation compared to the previous episodes. I hope the reason is that they saved the animation budget for the latter episodes. More like Uragiri no Tou. But nice try weeb. |
 |
| Ah yes the Spear Bearer revolution! LOL This game is another manifestation of Tower politics which is at it's very basic is just another "plans within plans". |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I was kind of waiting for Khun's betrayal the whole time. He cares about Bam so much that it would feel unnatural if he didn't betray others for him. I don't like how the episodes end right in the middle of things. I wish they were slightly longer. |
| Meh after meh episode, at this point im just watching for the lolz and to see how would anime only react to this show XD. 5/10 adaptation so far. |

ElleryK said: It's REALLY hard to follow this anime. Nothing is properly explained. Everything is confusing. I thought this was going to be a confrotation beetween 2 teams, but then it's not, and some get a free pass because they "did well" or because others reasons. I don't even care. Then we get the worst character introduction ever, and they talk about how they're gonna kill eachother... But why ? How does it work ? Where are they exactly ? And why these instructors are teaching them to get stronger, so they can kill one another afterwards...? The Rachel business is starting to get real annoying, imagine Gon's father was with him during the Hunter Exam and they both avoid eachother ON PURPOSE. Oh my god... 1. you are just missing details the that were stated. They clearly said that the teams are not facing each other. 2 this part wasn't as clear they showed that some of the people are more closer to top of the class, now they just stated who. 2. Quant is that type of character that is impulsive. No they are not training them to kill them but they also don't care if they die that is the kind of place the tower is. 3. I not sure you could call it spoiler but I tell you "one" thing about Rachel to understand her better |
| Something I notced this episode is why is CR translating MC-kuns name as Bam? Reading from the list that was revealed in the episode... and by hearing (Yoru) his name translates to “Night of the 25th Day”. Ok so then, why Bam? And what does Night of the 25th Day mean? |

| Great episode for sure, so Khun lost on purpose because that was his real objective, damn! What a "game". That girl was right but it appears that Hoh is of a completely different opinion. Now i can't wait for the next episode! Team B, do wonder what's their plan... |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The art style is so simple yet the animation is pathetic. Either make detailed art style with decent animation (Old Berserk) or make simple art with excellent animation (Mob Psycho 100)(I prefer the latter btw). Or any other variation in between (like most other anime). ToG is on the low end both in art and animation. |
|
| Having to wait a week again for the next episode will be painfull. Really this show is quite interesting so far. Im not yure how long the story is overall, which makes me wonder how they will handle characters in the future. More and more will drop out as far as I understand, so either the character list will grow thin in the end or they have to substitue new ones. Which is why Im worried about the characterization, only a few of them got a backstory. And 2 of those are limited to "know each other, done". But somfar its good in that regard I would say. I was quite curious to see a ship and a harbour in the backstory, and a ranker outside the test. Makes me wonder how big the world is really. Bam(??) and Rachel seem rather edgy still, so Im glad the other characters are there to balance it out |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| The episode was okay. But I can't get over the feeling that I am still missing somenthing to fully understand the whole story lol. |
| Personally the comedy isn't really doing it for me. The whole chocolate bars thing was funny in the beginning but now it's become Rak's whole personality. Rak has seen the least amount of character development of the bunch. |
 |
| couldn't tell if it was just me or due to how much happened but this episode felt very very long didn't help i wasn't in the greatest of moods ,will speak about some of these characters backgrounds this is the 2nd character that has some fucked up past like the dude with the horns having all his people get bagged up or this girl with all her friends getting killed by a ranker? forgot if she actually said who it was ,for now it all seems very out of place like what kind of lives are these people living in the tower before they came here lol it makes Bams caveman liffe seem pretty peaceful. |

Makes you wonder why they put this anime original scenes when they rush everything else including some very needed explanations of what is really going on. |

| Okay this finally got my interest in the webtoon How many chapters does it covers now? Also how many chapters is S1 and 2 of the webtoon? |
