It's giving me HxH vibes, a big group trying to past a test. Pretty interesting concepts so far, I'm interested.

The original hxh was released in 1999 but who cares

uh... because it started before Tower of God, lol. and it actually started in 1998 as a manga.

y'know, it's ok for artists to be inspired by things that came before them. it's silly to pretend that any story ever told is 100% original. i'm sure the author would not ever claim such a thing, only diehard fans who can't see past their own nose.

i was mainly responding to sao.... but yes, not every story is 100% original.. you can see it in every series you watch.

That Ranker was intense. His character is perhaps the most interesting in the show so far. I wonder how he'll develop

Better than the first episode and i like some of the characters so far, Rak is my favorite already. Khun, the ranker and the Lizzard Girl are interesting as well.

Exploring tower is also an interesting concept, at least it has something that differs from the other shounen, kinda give HxH and One Piece vibe. Not sure about Bam tho, he seems like a generic MC that has zero to hero aura, but we'll see... i'll watch this till the end.

So we finally see tsundere alligator and best boy AA. I'm glad the pacing calmed down a bit. Good thing they kept the way Rak calls everyone turtles cause I always like that about him.

Such a throwback for webtoon readers cause some of these characters rarely appear in the latest chapters. I forgot that middle-aged woman fighting with Ibisu existed.

Looks like third episode are the doors and coffee maniac Hansung will finally appear.

And yes, this is the Hunter x Hunter of webtoons except SIU releases chapters consistently every week.

Rak's appearance just made the story a whole lot better.
This episode was a little slower than the first one, which is good. And we've finally got some explanations. I hope it will stick with this pace instead of rushing things and making people that haven't read the webtoon feel lost.
Buut I have to say, Lero's voice... doesn't match his appearance. At all.

So many Japanizing name or term in this show:

Bam -> Yoru
Shinsui -> Mizu no Kami

What is next?

I do know there are some jokes between the seriousness in ToG. But please, the way they animate those jokes kinda weird for me. Maybe they just lack of sound effect.

This episode is good. It's quite funny as well.
Rak is exactly like Inosuke, and when the Ranker said "A monster has arrived", I got chills that Bam is more than who I think he is.

The episode seems improved from the first one. The fighting is pretty well development. The introduction of a new character was also well.

But again, the storylines still rushed, the pacing was ruined. And, removing details. Let see the episode 3.

I liked this quite a bit more than ep 1, but ep 1 was a bit of a mess so... Still the more action focused chapters there are means the less the fast pacing will hurt the show so let's hope for that.

Another decent episode. Better than the first one. But my main issue is that so far it is pretty much a copy of hunter x hunter. I am sure that eventually it will become its own thing but the entire episode I was thinking "that's like what HxH did, but not as good". On its own merits however, without comparisons to other anime, I really liked it. This show has a lot of potential.

Yea the first arc of this series is structured like Hunter x Hunter with its tests and all. But same structure doesn't mean its copying. The tests have their individuals spin and uniqueness to them still making for a nice watch.

I know. I said it's a copy. Not that it's copying. Like you said before, I meant that it's structured the same way.

Lol, we got some turtle jokes but Bam still really needs to prove himself. Aguero is such a badass for toying with Rak. It looks like Bam's goal to find Rachel is realized ever since he met her.

Anak Jahad also makes her appearance and she's no pushover. Lol Sibisu got abandoned. But seriously, I think Bam definitely needs a strong ally if he hopes to survive. The Tower of God Admin is also someone to watch out for.

This was better than the first. I think it's actually going to be a pretty good Anime.

I'm liking the world-building and the big cast of different people & creatures so far.

Rak is so endearing! 'gator got me with his cuteness!

Not impressed with Bam yet; that Ranker called him "a monster", so I guess he's got some hidden powers or something he himself is not aware of. He gotta show he can do shiz on his own and not leave it to others or luck alone.

They changed a little something. The character that was supposed to be berated by Lero-ro is not Levin and Levin passed in the comic so I wonder why they did that. Also, Lero-ro did explain about the tower structure and about what are irregulars (more of that later) but he didn't mention any of them as I expected. Once again, I imagine it would open too many threads that they will never solve if the adaptation ends at the end of the first "season".

Ok way better than the 1st one.
The 1st episode was a generous 3/10 that's a solid 6/10.

Things that I liked:
1)It didn't feel rushed.
2) Little informations about the Tower
3)Comic relief part
4)Monster scene
5)Khun line about the ruler

Things that I didn't like:
Introduction of Leroro , it should have a bigger impact the 1st time we see a ranker
Too little stuff about the irregulars. We need name dropping and why they are so special.
The water display of shinsu. Shinsu is energy not water and I hope they don't show it like that again.

So, the ruler and the monster scenes were good but they didn't have the same impact as the manhwa.

I hope for a better episode every week. Let's make some buys so they can keep up adapting the whole series.

For those who don't know, Baam in Korean means night. Yoru/Bam and whatever else is wrong.

This is like a combination of the hunter exam and Heaven's Arena arc from HxH. Of course it's too early to make such a comparison, this is just what it reminds me of. I really like the tests so far, although I still have many questions concerning the tower and the participants. I really like Khun, he is a pretty chill and smart character. Bam is also pretty interesting.

I was afraid of anime being so fast paced and I thought they would skip some scenes because first episode was so fast and etc but this episode was pretty good I started to get used to pace and they changed some thing but it was not important so i liked it. Pardon Loved it. But maybe I shoul go and read the webtoon again.

Enjoyed it very much, So far the story seems good and Bam to me feels likeable and also we are introduced to the concept of rankers, The way that ranker said we have a monster here made me extremely keen to see just how will Bam develop in the coming episodes.
So far, I'm really enjoying this, Living up to the hype for me.

Webtoon did drop names, though i dont remember if they really went into specifics until later that season. Im assuming they're cutting out a lot of post season 2 forshadowing since they're unsure if they will be able to make a second season. Definetely not perfect, the monster line wasn't as impactful and the dialogue cut from Lero was some of my favourite but atleast it's a lot closer to the webtoon than episode 1 was.
Shinsu is not energy and literally translates to divine water. I believe it's said that high concentrations of shinsu is a lot like a liquid, so this is accurate. It just wasn't conveyed really well in the webtoon, im guessing because SIU was an amateur artist at the time.
The difference in adaptation and pacing quality apparently comes from this episode having a different director, so until we see more episodes we don't really know if the quality for the series as a whole will resembles episode 1 or 2.

Yeah i know, so please keep the 2nd director.

Shinsu in Korean means divine water. Shinsu in the tower is the energy. The energy to create bangs,things or even life(?) later on. Yeah high concentrations of shinsu is a lot like a liquid but it's not a liquid. It's energy.

team Baam-Rak-Khun is now assembled!
lolz comedy factor for Shibisu!
Hatz & Anak Jahad passed the Shinsoo wall as well as Shibisu and that other girl forgot her name!
Phonsekal also passed i forgot who his teammates are!
Lero-Ro voiced by Tsuda Kenjirou was just perfect!
5/5.

some of the upcoming chapters are almost entirely action, and a few chapters were shorter than average because SIU had an accident back then

Still not sure what to feel about the show, it has potential to be the best of the season, giving us some good goofy scenes too, but hopefully the pacing will be more consistent as that can easily fuck this all up.
I wonder if the way to cross the water is to just stay calm.
