Tower of God has officially reached the Workshop Battle arc, arguably one of the most hyped arcs by readers of the source material.

After the extremely lackluster Season 2 cour 1, many have hoped that improvements will be made to this highly anticipated arc. The main question everyone is wondering: Has this studio stepped up their game to deliver a satisfactory adaptation? Well let’s break it down.

MUSIC (10/10)

Once again, this show is carried by the one and only Kevin Penkin. His OST’s are absolutely fantastic, and their quality have certainly not diminished. Once again, his music has become one of the highlights of the show. ... In addition, Stray Kids are back to give us a banger of an opening and ending. The music gets full marks.

PACING (5/10)

As I have not read the source material, I can’t speak to the pacing of the manhwa. However, looking objectively at this show, the pacing seems to move far too quickly. Characters are given half baked motivations for why they do what they do. Certain characters have met each other, but their relationships aren’t explored in any detail. It’s extremely hard to care much for what’s going on around us, if we don’t understand why things are happening.

ANIMATION (7/10)

Compared to the last cour, there seems to have been at least an attempt at animation here. Scenes are much smoother than they were in the previous cour. All things considered, I would say the animation all around has improved, but still hasn’t reached the heights that Season 1’s unique style brought to the table.

CHARACTERS (6/10)

The Worshop Battle Arc has brought back the original cast of the show with our favorite characters from Season 1 being brought back. The issue; we don’t understand what some of these characters are doing or why they are doing it. While it’s nice to see old faces, without knowing their motivations it’s hard to care about their return. Endorsi and Rak are the only characters that have seemed to have stayed consistent to who they were.

PLOT (7/10)

Overall, the plot is relatively interesting. Obviously this seems to be a battle arc, but with the return of former cast members, it could very well bring something to the table, so I suppose I may have to edit this review depending on the how the end of the season goes.

OVERALL (7/10)

At the end of the day, your opinion will be your own. This season still has not met the heights that Season 1 set. I recommend you watch this only if you want to give the show another chance. If you have decided there isn’t much point in continuing, I would recommend dropping it here.
