| Smh he just gets teleported to every “floor”? I thought we would see lots of climbing action... Well atleast Bam has an epic op sword and a higher up girl crushing over him I do wonder what those flashbacks were. Who was that girl with Rachel? Really looked like a female version of Bam |
 |
| Gotta admit. Love the Webtoon. I think that the openning is just alright and i thought that the pacing moved pretty quickly. I do love the sound design though. The sound was really well and at times i thought the animation was really pretty. |
| The fatal combo, ugly and dull. But hey, I'm sure it'll get good 50 billion episodes later for reasons that nobody can quite quantify because they're all spoilers. |
| as expected it was rushed |
| Whoever likes slice of life anime doesn't have any IRL friends. |
| This first episode is well done, there were minor cuts but there’s nothing to be worried about, from my point of view. This is my impression now, I hope I don’t will be forced to change my view. |
 |
| What I saw: something that could be decent Korean manhwa (ouch). But did not step up on a level of a decent anime. If drawings were fixed later why do we get v1? If story were better later why do we get v1? There are so many cases original works have unpolished stories or visuals. Could be lack of experience or resource constraints. But it makes sense to improve when you translate to the new media. Make it better, not faithful to the early 'roughness'. E.g. Did you see original Fate VNs visuals? How dare animation studios change that and make something of god tier? How dare they? |
| Hyped to see Tower of God animated. Really enjoy the art style personally and the amazing OST. Apart from the OP really enjoyed all of the first episode. Good to see some of the regulars in animated form. Its worth reading the manhwa first as it is absolutely amazing and is really lengthy. |
| I mean, it definitively feels like it is going fast, so I guess they will cover the entire season in 13 episodes. Let's hope they don't cut some dialogues, because this series have some amazing ones. People that complain about the artstyle might be the same ones that enjoy their moe and isekai where everything looks the same. |

Really looked like a female version of Bam Lol, the person who looks like a female version of Bam is Bam; he just used to have long hair. I think he was trolling there, since it's April Fool's and all. Here are my two cents: OP is kinda bleh, for reasons others have pointed out. Am a bit worried that they'll cut too much dialogue out, but from what I've heard from Chibi Reviews' vid on it, ep 2 will be a step up. I just hope that eps 2 and 3 will be intruiging enough for people to keep watching. Also, it's already trending worldwide on Twitter after one episode, so it's basically the new Demon Slayer lmao.

favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Hot damn, I didn't know this got released already in the time of worldwide lockdowns and quarantines due to global CoVid-19 pandemic. Finally something to look forward to in these dark and crazy times! I haven't catch up to the webtoon yet since last year but oh well, here we are! Headon sounds like Hōchū Ōtsuka or do my ears fail me now? >_< I've forgotten since it's been years since I've read the beginning but I recognized the Green April at first glance. Khun is still so cool AF as I remembered him to be! I'm watching you Rachel... XP |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Not too bad, definitely has my attention. Art style is a little strange, not too sure how I feel about it. Seems there's gonna be a lot of flashbacks throughout this show. 7/10. |
NG_Chloe said: That's what a lot of the webtoons reader fear about that 13 episode adaptation. With everything left to tell in term of story, and knowing that the worldbuilding is pretty heavy in ToG, the serie will never take the time to sit to let the people the time to digest things. After that episode, I feel it will cut the world- and characterbuilding to the minimum (character definition of Headon, Yuri and Evan are too fast) and always be on fasttrack. couldn't get into this one. I loved the first few minutes, the animation, the art style and directing, but when the princess of Jahad showed up, I started checking out with how many questions I started having, and how much exposition that raised more questions in just a few minutes. Too much for my brain. I would prefer if they just had him go through the trial, and explain things bit by bit as they go along, because now i'm wondering: "Why are you helping him?" "Why are you explaining things to him?" "What's Jahad" "What's an irregular?" (answered-ish) "How do you know he's an irregular?" "Why did you kick him in the face?" "Is having a cute face really worth risking all of this over?" "Where was she that she'd be able to kick him in the face just like that?". |

| Wow, people are being harsh with it. Having your own vision and not seeing it as you imagined it must hurt. I watched it quite objectively and overall i am super happy that TOG even has an anime now. it felt a bit fast paced, but i wasn't disappointed at all. Maybe Khun's hair isn't that attractive as in the webtoon but I am still hyped for the series and that's what matters! :D |
 |
| eh it was ok. Not gonna lie the art style is pretty off putting, like combination of that god awful Devilman Crybaby style and those Rankin Bass LoTR movies |
| Wow it's just another game/isekai with amateur production. Talk about overhype. |
| Finally Tower of God begins. Been following this manhwa for a long time now(after Noblesse ended) and has been one of the longest running series. They really made it look water art like with al those liquid animations. Also Kevin Penkin is in the music part, though I know the plot his music really keeps me on the edge. Next we get the trio started. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| The op didn't seem like it fit. But I liked the art style though, it looks similar to the earlier chapters of the manhwa. |
| So apparently one episode is all that's needed to call something "oVeRhYpEd"? 😂 |
 |
| Everyone is just.. So thirsty.. For that boy.. |
| Not gonna lie, this is the first time that I see an opening where the credits are not shown with the animation of the Opening but instead on a black background with nothing else. It's something different but I don't like it. It kinda interupts the flow of an Anime opening! Song is good though, I like it! Overall, I like the art style! I am intrigued with the story, it did feel quick, definitely going to continue this! No issues with the characters so far! Also, Kevin Penkin with the music, oh yes!! |
 |
| THE HYPE IS REAL! The first Korean manhwa to set waves in this transition age into anime. And it's all thanks to Crunchyroll for this. Have to wholeheartedly agree that the OP is lame...what kind of opening has sequences like this... But regardless, knowing the story of Rachel and the Irregular Twenty-Fifth Bam, this is just the start of the craze-filled adventure. As for the first episode, it definitely felt fast-paced, spare the exposition but worldbuilding definitely wasn't the crux here, as much as the beginning is concerned. Seems like this season is aiming to finish Season 1 of the webtoon. But regardless, it's a great start. The art itself of course, is justice to the manhwa, and having an anime like ToG is already expectations met. OST is Kevin Penkin levels of greatness, not too shabby here! OP/ED is good though. Definitely want more from this, and anticipating more down the line. |

| I'm trying to think back to how many first episodes of an anime honestly dazzled me from the get-go. I think for a first episode, in terms of the OP, the OSTs throughout, the voice acting and animation, it was a really solid episode. The soundtrack alone has me wanting more. Now, I've read the manhwa, I'm familiar with the source material, so I can imagine for new viewers, a lot happened in the episode that was confusing and quite literally, thrown at us very quickly. However, I think the direction they've gone so far was done well enough to create intrigue, mystery. Obviously, no one story is going to hook everyone, but I really hope people don't drop this after the first episode because of the art or fast-pacing. Tower of God is seriously one of the best things I've ever read and have dreamed about this getting an anime adaptation for years. |
 |
| damn the first comments are mostly negative, meanwhile I really liked it. Love the different art style, but I have to agree that the pacing was a bit too fast compared to the webtoon |
| I've now learned from this thread that the anime community just can never, never, never, ever settle on any type of pacing at all. Quite funny. Anime skipped a few details from the web comic, but rather a pretty good episode. I liked it. axelgon5200 said: Not really vibing to characters so far, especially with the main character. Doesn't seem that interesting or have any ambitions, he just wants be with some girl. The soundtrack and OP works well enough, nothing too special tho. The art doesn't bother me, even though it does feel a bit cheap, I did enjoy looking at the creature designs and the settings. Overall, it wasn't a good first impression from me but I am curious on where the story goes so I'll keep watching for now. 2/5 OF COURSE, THE PROTAGONIST HAS TO BE KING OF THE TOWER!!!! |
 |
| It was rushed, but anyway, the episode was awesome~! |
| A good opening episode, I’m ready for more. |
| Artstyle is great and refreshing. Animation is decent to great as well. Just the story so far is pretty bland and nothing really makes sense, as there is no world established yet. |
 |
| Although animation is not top-notch, editing could be better and there were questionable camera angle choices, the whole thing is still watchable. The best thing about the first episode was the pacing. Hope they keep it up. Oh, did I mention how the opening song doesn't match the theme of the series? |
