Episodes 1 and 5 were way worse. I liked this episode because it was the best paced so far, and had the most character interactions. And like someone else said, now finally everyone in the team has a purpose instead of Bam just being some kind of ornament. |

| So, those "10 friends" also include yourself Also, has Bam ever accepted the bet with Anaak? I don't remember him ever agreeing to it |

| Great Episode. Bam got lucky for still being in the game. Rak the fuckin' Tsundere. Lol The princesses messing with each other. Lizard Loli seems strong tbh. |

That's just dropping hints. What spoiler? I'm anime-only, I hated her since episode one and that's a conclusion I got from this very episode we are discussing, so I don't know what you're talking about... Sorry, now that I read carefully I messed when writing that comment. I meant to say that, as an anime-only, I could see that coming without prior knowledge of the source-material. |

Pretty sure it was implied on the very first test (after Headon). Climbing the tower is a man eats man world. You submit to the strong one. This episode pretty much hints, though not explicitly said, Anaak's goal in obtaining Black March. She said she will kill everyone named Jahad. 13 Month Weapons are only given to Jahad PRINCESS. Bam is obviously a guy, so Black March is not originally his. Even supposing that Bam stole it or it was lent to him, if she got the Black March, the original owner, a jahad princess, will come to her. |
 |
RinTheWanderer said: Actually lending a 13 monthly series weapon is against the tower rules and is punishable by execution (which they sort of mention when she lends it) so all Anaak would have to do is somehow inform Jahad that she has black march somehow and Jahad would presumably execute Yuri. Yuri does get some special treatment though so who knows what would actually happen. I don't think Anaak would be glad to be done a favor by an enemy though? And please lay off the spoilers. Nowhere in the current anime suggests that she gets special treatment, only that she is a rule breaker. |
|
| While she is an okay written Character I still hate the fact she has Black March and is walking around like she is hot shit. I won't say I hate her because that is a strong word but Anaak is literally the worst character in this anime. SO FAR (Considering I hear a lot of people hate Rachel apparently) Meanwhile Kuhn and Rak continue to be two of the best characters and I am liking Endorsi a lot. I'm interested to learn more about her and what her role is as a Princess and also being in a team with Rachel. |

| I'm only a few chapters ahead and I never noticed how protective Khun is with Bam. I still don't understand Rachel. But this episode was really good loved all the facial expressions. |

Damn people are sensitive on spoilers about this show. You mention one little detail, even a deduction, and people start saying its a spoiler... Don't get me wrong, I hate spoilers like everybody else, but not even allow people to theorize is another extreme. |
| so basically so far, khun and rak are the only really likeable main characters? i haven't read the webtoon and i'm enjoying the show but all the other main cast so far kinda just seems unlikeable. maybe that's by design? hopefully they get better |
| I don't know what is so exciting to people here? All of this shit is far better done in other anime. Also, the fight animation is so weak, literally. I mean the punches, kicks, etc don't convey any sense of impact. All seem very floaty. |

Neostorm-X said: why do i never see anyone shitting on my hero academia for literally copying every single trope in existance while also having extremely bland characters? apparently people are prasing that show to the max, same with demon slayer?demon-slayer literally has the most clique writing being hard carried by unlimited budget works studio and yet tog used a single trope and all of the sudden its apparently bad? do all you people care about is fucking animation quality? or are you guys just hating on this for being from a korean manga? i've seen this same level criticism for other non japanese works like RADIANT for example, even though i could literally give parallel examples of other japanese shows that use these same tropes and apparently its good when a japanese manga does it. people are just fuckign weeaboos and hate on everything not japanese originated Calm your tits sherlock. Tropes are used in many shows. That's how they're tropes in the first place. The reason MHA and Demon Slayer get praise and not this is execution. You really seem to underestimate the importance of direction, pacing and animation in an anime. All of which are essential or atleast can be used to greatly enhance anime. All the flaws in execution can really accentuate a weak plot and/or characters. It's not what you use, it's how you use. I was pretty excited to see this manhwa animated but this adaptation isn't looking that good. |

katsu044 said: this show at it's current stage still feels far too fan fiction-ish of other shounen works but the ending for once had me intrigued on top of the layers of unclear mentioning's of things this show has been piling on from the start it leaves you with a lot of desire to learn what the hell anything means in this world and i can't tell if it's due to the anime or not since it appears their leaving things out (from what readers have said) which seems like a bad call since a vast majority of events that unfold are hardly explained till a new one pops up and thus the previous question is forgotten lol. also anyone noticed the paint level pixel on Rachel's freckles in one of the shots of her was like wait that looks like someone just did those in paint ! Apparently that is what TOG fans like about it. They think unanswered questions without proper build up is mystery. Yes, I agree the art is rough and the color palette is disgusting. |
|
| oh man! another great episode! you could clearly feel and see the RAGE of Anak Jahad! 5/5. |
 |
| To be honest, the reaction of people is more interesting than watching the anime itself. Not because the anime is bad, but because it is quite the interesting social study thing. There are readers of the original work that are shitting on the anime, because it is not an exact copy of the source material and it is not perfect (sorry guys, adapting will always transform material and perfect is not something that exists outside of your own head). There are the typical contra hype people that shit on something because it is popular, just to poke the nest of people that enjoy the show or for some other reason (like insecurity of liking something other people like). Then there are the fanboys that praise the show to 10/10, just because they like the source material, or because they are not differential enough and say everything they like is the best thing since sliced bread. And at last there are the source material readers that are hyped that their beloved story gets animated (something nobody thought possible for something like a webtoon), something that at least makes a moderate amount of sense. The differences don't even end there, that seems to be only the starting point. While everybody is wary of spoilers (for good reason one might say, this story has some surprising twists and turns), you can clearly identify different types of viewers, since the show needs you to connect the dots on your own, if you want to understand a lot of the deeper mechanics and story beats. The most hilarious example comes with this episode 6 and Anaaks backstory. The difference between people that pay attention and connect the dots (unless you know the source material of course) is staggering. The first bit of information connected to her backstory is given to us in the scene Endorsi is introduced to the main cast. In addition to the fact that she calls Anaak an imposter (again) she explains a bit about the princesses and their restrictions (not allowed to love; shoes on display (you can look but not touch)). That point seems to be already missed or forgotten by most people when we get to the later parts, clearly dividing the viewers already. The second part comes when the Endorsi vs Anaak fight gets underway, while Khun is checking on the background of the people that are in the same test with him, which reveals the next parts, that Anaak is a Ranker, a princess that got a 13 month series (Green April) and that is already dead. This is the point where attentive viewers are starting to connect the dots, but others are either wondering or are already floundering. The third part starts with Endorsis and Anaaks dialogue during the fight downtime and the flashback that is happening at nearly the same time. Endorsi reveals that she believes and wanted to confirm that Anaak is her niece and that this also was the reason she threw the crown game, that she could have won if she wanted to (in addition it reveals that Rachel also asked her to help Bams group, but that is more side information). The flashback reveals Endorsis assumption to be the truth. Anaak jr. is clearly the child of Anaak the Ranker and princess, and she was killed by Jahads forces/other princesses. These are the dots you have to connect to form a clear picture about Anaaks backstory and with the last part most viewers that watched and paid attention will have no problems to connect these dots, while others that are either not used to do so, or just plain refuse to connect those dots end up confused. For people that don't get let me write this out in short: Princesses are not allowed to love, which means that Anaak (mother) broke a rule as a princess by marriage and child bearing and was successfully annihilated, Anaak jr. managed to survive and secure her mothers weapon and joined the tower to take revenge on the ruling family in the tower. The differences in viewer ability is just another hilarious aspect, on top of the aforementioned groups, that hype or counterhype the show. In the end the show might even be educational to pay attention to what you are watching, which can help some people to get over the clichee bound shounen genre that usually doesn't need that kind of ability to connect dots. Maybe we should even be thankful that there is a seemingly mainstream show that might educate people to get into more complex shows? (This was only one example of many in this episode that could be found by connecting dots. The point system or positions is another. I don't say this is extremely complicated, but it forces you to not half ass the show in the background if you want to catch the finer detail that is hidden in the show.) Seeing the differences in reaction of people reinforcing their prebuild notions and people on different levels trying to discern the episodes is what I find so fascinating about this show, it might even be more fascinating than the show itself. I will just be on the lookout and watch some more reaction/reviews or read through forums amusing myself with people boneheading in one direction or the other. |

SirLezard said: Artreyu said: Huh? He was being a caterpillar the whole time LMAO.. they'll probably show him more when everyone has finished their test and it goes to the next game I am talking about a specific scene. But in retrospect, it makes sense they didn't put it. We've seen enough of Baam the monster now so we know. Besides, the flow of the classes would have been wrecked I guess. But it doesn't mean a certain character can do it in a later episode which.... i am not sure is going to be shown as it has become a little irrelevant now. So was Naruto (a monster that is). Did that mean he was able to control the power how he wanted from the get go? Obviously not. He had to train. Now Bam already making water rasengans. Who taught him? I wondered. Glad it's just this shitty adaptation. |

| Not gonna lie I binged the last 6 episodes. Its way better than I expected. My main concern given how its an adaption of an unfinished source is the ending. It will definitely be open. And Idk how long we have to wait for sequels. The "reverse Made in Abyss" vibe is gone now though. Feels less mysterial than in the beginning. There is lots of potential for cringe but so far its fine. Lizard princess is entertaining to watch, so is the other princess. I do feel like we are forcefully underinformed for the sake of curiosity, which is fine as the MC also doesnt know shit, but right now he isnt interesting and holds the other characters back. |

| The mystery elements develop so organically as more of the world is revealed to us. I honestly prefer the world building episodes over the combat. And based off that last flashback- Anaak is green Sasuke |

| So many things happened in this episode. Khun noticed Rachel’s intentions, actually, Bam and Rachel could go in the same team, despite the fact that it would be very weak, but I think that’s not what Rachel has in her mind. Ho really wanted to cause an impression, despite his obvious fatigue which Laure noticed. Leesoo has an interesting test, befriend Hatsu, Khun and Androssi… interesting. So, is Rachel a princess then? I’m kind of getting irritated by Anak’s reactions, I now know what happened, but she’s just mean and entitled to everything. So, who is this Zahard guy. |

Pierdo said: Quick clarification question. Bam lost his sword to a bet in Episode 5 right? Anyone recall what that bet was? A brief scene of her taking the sword would've been helpful... started out the episode like, "wtf does she have his sword for?" The only thing I remember is a brief scene of Anak having the sword at the end of the last episode, they never showed a scene of Bam giving it, also he was unconscious, so probably Khun let her take it. |

| Well this is getting interesting. I'm sorta getting why Rachel is getting so much hate lmao |

| Even when reading the manhua i never understood the battle positions, now seeing it explained in anime form, i still don't understand, fisherman and spear bearer seem straightforward but the remaining seem a bit redundant and overlap in certain sections. |

Manwha. Manhua is chinese. The fisherman is the warrior type and the spear bearer is supposed to be the archer/lancer type kind of thing. The light bearer is self explanatory. The scout is self explanatory. The wave controller controls shinsu mostly but they were supposed to support their allies as well It's so simple and intuitive that I'm wondering what you don't understand? |
