Amusing that all of the reviews that rate the show sub-3 haven't watched more than 4 episodes. God of Highschool is a long-spanning (more than half of the length of One Piece currently) story attempting to bring itself into the animation spotlight. Nowadays in 2020, shows can't get away with having 30-60 episode startups like the days of Bleach and Naruto and One-Piece, Shonen have to be quick to get to the point.
I've personally not read the manhwa, but a quick glimpse of the story later on has shown me that this show has incredible potential going forwards. If you can't
...
bear getting through three episodes of rush story, then sorry to say, you're too impatient for a story like this. The storyboarder (who is the writer of the manhwa) has made it clear that he wants to get to the good bits of the story sooner rather than later, studios can't afford to have four seasons of buildup in this day and age.
That said, if you have the patience to make it through a few episodes of rushed story, this show is frankly amazing.
Story: 6/10 AS OF NOW, it's currently lacking a bit of substance, but it's obvious that the show is teasing what's soon to come. And boy it's going to be big, I can just feel it.
Art: 10/10 Incredibly unique, I for one love to see different kinds of style in anime, people complain about the noses and the ears, but I for one, find it charming and endearing. What was the last anime you've seen where character's noses were a function of their overall design? The answer is probably none. Refreshing styles always get a high rating for me. The animation of the show is incredibly high tier when it needs to be, with such amazing concepts like ink brush fight choreography were just simply mindblown.
Sound: 10/10 WOW the music, absolutely amazing to listen to all the way through, everything from the OP to the fight music. The impacts are meaty, and the various charyeok sounds incredible
Character: 7/10 Lots of introductions, very little individual development so far. The designs of many characters are rock solid, but plenty seem to fall short. Hopefully this improves in the future. Not much to really say
Enjoyment: 10/10 It's just a riot, the action is solid and amusing, the abilities are interesting to see introduced, and the overall show is just super high energy and always exciting to watch
Overall: 9/10 Just a blast to watch, funny, interesting, AMAZING animation, and lots of plot points being teased for the future of the story. It's disappointing seeing so many people blowing off this show because of the first couple episodes (Which I for one enjoyed), people have zero patience these days to let anything grow. There is a lot of hidden potential this show can go into hence forth, and hopefully in the future people can give it a more fair shake. The amount of 1/10 on everything is just embarrassing. Anime community, you can do better.
