For anime watchers, just chill out...Yeah i know you heard a lot about the series and the hype was over 9000, but that's for the later parts.
Season 1 until chapter 60(?) is introduction to this vast world. In the anime you should see the more serious stuff about episode 10.
Yeah i know it's not the strongest adaptation but it's neither the weakest one.
Your expectations will make you hate the series.
It's not gonna be great from the first 6-7 episodes.

this is only a 13 episode season
and you are telling me that over 50% of that will be average?
thats not a good sign at all
a good anime should be able to get your attention from the get go
Exactly. This is also the main reason why I can't defend HunterxHunter and Made in Abyss as masterpieces. They took way too long to actually have a 10/10 arc. And even those shows had at least something to offer on their average arcs. ToG so far only have Kevin Penkin music carrying the scene

This is nowhere as near as the masterpiece the source fans claim this to be.


You have only seen about 3% of the story at this point, fans are not hyping it or calling it a masterpiece because of only 3% -_-


Even then, considering the hype it has on forums, I fail to see what's so good about this prologue so far.

i agree, I think the pacing is just right. anime-onlys on r/anime seems to like it a lot


This is funny, because r/anime is infamous for having dozens of bot accounts posing as anime onlys, secretly hyping a series and also spoiling future events with disguised theories. All of the seasons of Attack on Titan have been like that. This time is no different.

Also funny that you didn't mention that r/anime also has quite a vocal miniority making the right questions, pointing out the neck breaking speed pace the show goes and how worthless these challenges are.

I mean, if you don't enjoy it, nobody here is forcing you to watch. At the end of the day it's entertainment and not for everyone.
Im assuming you dont care about spoilers at this point since you've dropped it (though i thought you said you dropped it last episode) so


Nobody is forcing you to read/reply posts with different/unpopular opinions either, yet here you are.

Yep, not all entertainment is for everyone. Some are just derivative and require an incredible gullible audience with a very low bar.

This episode adapted "only" 4 chapters. This is concerning. They are almost certainly certainly going to skip highlight moments later on at this pace.

They are also trying way too hard to turn Rak into a meme character, he's very annoying in the Anime.

Khun's struggle during the third test was pretty cool in the Manhwa, and pretty cringy in the Anime.

The beginning of the crown game is kind of disappointing as well. The moment with Anaak blowing everyone away and putting on the crown gave me goosebumps in the Manhwa, and they turned into a comedy scene instead.

But other than those few complaints, the episode was fine. The next episode should be the first highlight episode if they do it well.


The pacing should be fine later on because the fight scenes can be adapted very quickly without feeling rushed at all. Some of the fight chapters can be adapted in as less than 2-3 minutes and done well.

I agree about Rak. He was serious + funny in the webtoon but they're turning him into a total comic relief to the point that anime onlys might find it annoying.

I thought Khun's backstory was more fleshed out here and him getting a reason to protect Baam's trusting eyes is something that adds more depth to their relationship. I thought that was for the better.

I think Anak's fight was good too, and anime onlys did pretty much feel similar to what we did reading the webtoon. It's just that we already know what happens so we're not as surprised by it. That surprise element was the goosebumps moment in the webtoon. They could've done better but it was pretty good regardless.


As an anime-only, I don't find Rak annoying at all. He is hilarious and I love him!

I mean, he's not wrong. The test really is just to "open a door. Any door." A complete idiot would pass it easily.


How is it just opening any door? First of all, everyone taking the test has the assumption that there is only one right door and that they will die if they open a wrong door. They don't know that they can open any door within the first 5 minutes. If they wait longer than those 5 minutes to open the door, every single door will be a wrong door and they will die no matter what door they open.

How would a complete idiot pass this test easily? I can guarantee you, if you were to take that test under the same circumstances, with the assumption that there's only one right door and that you die if you open the wrong one, you would 100% make use of the full 10 minutes to look for a clue for the right door.

You will definitely deny this, but that's only because you're aware of the detail that all doors are the right one within the first 5 minutes. If you didn't know this crucial detail, neither you nor anyone else here in this thread would pass this test. Because any normal person wouldn't just recklessly open a random door with your life on the line.

Complete idiots tend to blindly guess which was what happened in the episode. The way the test was designed favors reckless stupidity, it seems this series doesn't acknowledge that as a flaw. It's a rare case where a thoughtful approach is disadvantageous and pretty much useless if you have to be the first one to take the test.

Hint 1: Screams heard only after 5 mins, they might kill off the first team or set a fake team. Rankers doesn't care about the regulars as shown in the other test the ranker messed up which ended up with deaths of many regulars.
Hint 2: Hansung said to open the correct door and you'll fail if you can't open doors in 10 mins. He also said that he has already given all the hints(by plastic bag, you need to trust that guy and find more clues in time, in this case watch). It's a riddle.
Hint 3: the clock has 10 digits rather than 12. When khun looked at the pocket, it's already past 1 min and the hand of the clock was pointed towords 2 which means 1 min equal 2 digit. Then 10 digit is 5 min. This happens again when they showed 2 min mark. For those who could not see the hints and talking shit about the test.
Only Shibisu managed to crack the riddle. Khun would have cracked it if his past didn't hinder him and if he trusted that balloon guy's words. Others passed by luck or by the lack of hesitation or trust in divination or some other method, didn't show.
Interesting facts: Some passing team acquired some knowledge/experience(can be trust/faith/knowing more about teammates/teamwork). But what does the ranker get by taking these tests/how does it help them to teach the regulars? They are very important questions, in tog something is always happening in the background. There is hint dropped here and there in these 3 episodes, you need to pay attention the administrative system and politics, corruption happening behind the back of these tests. Like in this episode, the other ranker messed up his tests resulting the death of 397 people, but Hansung manages to cover it up and bring their team to take an additional test which shouldn't have happened. And he(Hansung) actually praised himself as a genius for it, lol. It reflects the corruption in the system. Don't quote me, I won't answer.

Good episode! This anime is being really intriguing even though the first episode started a bit slowly for me, but now Things are getting started and I'm hyped for the next one!

I like Khun and getting to know more about his past makes it better to understand his character, very well done.

I haven't read the manhua but Rachel seems suspicious and may not be the good character we saw - from Bam's point of view - I mean
She left him saying "Forget about me" and then we find he probably spying Bam or whatever. Honestly, Rachel, I don't understand

I'm not typically the sort of person to make "call out posts" for unpopular opinions, but... I think people need to chill a little about the world-building. Tower of God was not built on the concept of all-at-once exposition. The world is soaked in mystery, and even as far as 500 chapters into the comic and we source fans don't know everything yet.

Tower of God was built around the idea of seeing the world through the perspective of an outsider like Baam, so that we learn things as he learns them. It'd be impossible, and frankly unfun, for the anime to just spill everything about the world for us at this point. It gives us information as we need it.

Not a spoiler. Rachel wants to climb the tower and left Bam to do so. At this point that all you should know about her.

thats exactly my point
the test is designed for the typical shounen protagonists who just choose any door and get through with it instead of thinking it over
if the tower is promoting that kind of attitude
then they are basically saying

There are 5 rounds, each round up to 5 teams can compete to get the crown. If there's a team with the crown only 4 other teams can enter.
When your team has the crown one member have to use it and seat on the "throne" for the entire game(all remaing rounds).
If the person with the crown get out of the throne you lose, so the other teammates have to defend the one using the crown.

And to enter you must click a button in a certain time but only the first 4/5 can enter.
So if you wait you may miss getting in.

Loved this episode. Rak was a cute gator as usual. I just love seeing him freak out and exert dominance over the group.

The thing with Khun was kind of confusing but I saw a YouTube comment that explained it without too many spoilers.

Looking forward to the next episode. Might even pick up the webtoon when I have time.

The lizard girl fighting scene was really epic! That ost!
Now I'm worried about Bam, since he has that sword, he can't show it to the guy who is in charge of this challenge.
I do wonder if going to this "bonus" test is 100% true that you will go to the top level, i feel like there is something missing...

The episode was great and with more development about the tests. I’m kind of getting irritated by Bam’s personality, he’s too innocent compared to Khun, and lets not forget that this is a test and a competence at some point. Yu Han had an interesting interaction with Khun, backstory about to be developed. The crown’s test seems interesting, Anak’s scene was great, characters are such stronger than it seems, like the sleepy guy. Rachel is right there.

My expectation got too high on this show. MC got pretty strong weapon at the first start really irked me. And the reason by a cute face, somehow make me laughed. Is that all? Luck come fast to MC more than enough to save the day. Then, get unbeaten image having a crocodile monster and wasted prince as a team members get one word for me: classic. Well, my only enjoyment got tight to see more side character ability and power like Anaak, or even Hansz, and else. Lets see how well next episodes test of crown game ended typical cliche some MC bring every fucking time to the show. I hate it, so i hope this show changed my mind. Lets see how the Tower of God bring me joy.

Not mentioning any backstory too. Its unnecessary for me, and its too fast to judge character development for that excuse. I may come to clear my mind by pointing out some backstory, but for now, i won't. So my only hope for bringing more epic battle, can i?
