RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Fatboii - Apr 28, 2020
I started reading this webtoon a year ago and I think it's great that the story can reach a wider audience with the anime. I actually read all the chapters included in the anime before it started to have a better stand point to review it.
But after watching all the episodes so far im not sure if the anime is able to explain all the details correctly and that watchers are able to understand the concept of the tower or the characters. Somethings from the anime are made panel by panel from the webtoon but some panels and information are also cut out. This story has some deeper meanings that i don't think came through as much in the anime.
If anyone has a hard time understanding concepts in the anime im happy to give a more detailed answer from reading the webtoon, example: "rankers" and "the 13th months".

I'm always so negative about things but I just can't help it. I'm entitled to my opinion though so I can't complain.
Boring episode again, but everyone on MAL enjoyed it. I just didn't find it as exciting as everyone thought it was. We learn what Khun's bag can do, which is the ability to clone stuff. It was very useful in this crown game. He was even able to sneak in three members from the first test because of the bag. I'm wondering what it looks like inside!
Bam's team win's the fourth round due to the help of the three members Khun snuck in. They agreed to assist him. I think Khun's ability to think ahead and come up with strategies is great, meanwhile, Rak has the brawns. Well, Bam is pretty strong too, I guess if he tried with Black March, but he's a whiney little simp who's useless unless his little girlfriend gets hurt or something and he somehow activates a shinsu ability like never seen before. This, of course, is going to help him get to the tower quickly.
I'm not a fan of Rachel. She's very mysterious and her goal seems selfish rather than helping Bam, which we all know is a simp for her.
Anyways, the fighting was boring, I'm wondering why Endorsi's team didn't want to kill off Bam's team.
From the character list on MAL, it seems the girl with the bodysuit is named "Hwaryun", and I' wondering if we'll see her again.
I want to see more of Endorsi though. I sound like a simp myself now but she got some nice features. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Is the show worth watching? Saw it on crunchyroll but didn't click it yet.

To me, it's not at the point where I think it's a crazy good anime or anything. So many people are freaking out, saying how good it is, but it hasn't impressed me very much yet.

I’ll have to give it a try then. Most anime’s are in a drought rn from virus :/.

I honestly think this one has some good potential to the point I cant wait for new episodes. I ended up reading up on the manga and I'm honestly impressed with the pace of the anime and I think they are doing a great job keeping to the story and the characters. I'm just crossing my fingers it stays that way, IMO I think this has the potential to get very popular and I'm happy crunchyroll decided to take on this adaption.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Bezo - May 7, 2020
I hope they stay true to the webtoon. I know it will be a while but there are so many epic fights that I can't wait to see animated.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Megane - May 7, 2020
We were left with a nice little cliffhanger. Although a rather slow episode until the end, it wasn't a bad one. I don't have many complaints to make.
It looks like everyone has to make a group of friends. I'm wondering if that's for the next test. Well, of course, it is but I mean are the friends they add to the list going to be on a single team? I don't think that's the case though. I don't know, it's very confusing lmao. I know everyone was assigned a position, but the teams are split up to fight each other. Since there are five positions to choose from, does that mean three to a team like it's been or is it going to be five per team now?
I think the whole friendship thing might be a way to get close to someone and then secretly betray them. What I mean is, take Hoh for example. He said something like "It doesn't hurt to make friends with the weak." I'm wondering what his true intentions are.
It looks like Rak is a Fisherman, Khun is a Lightbearer or Scout, and Bam is a Wave Controller. With the training everyone's going to receive, climbing the tower is going to be increasingly hard. The characters that aren't too special are probably going to become punching bags for those who will climb the tower and although that's boring, I think it will allow us to see the true potential of everyone's ability.
We can already see that some people are struggling in their training. Rak was able to pass his test, Khun is getting some insight into the other people training, and Bam looks like he is doing a good job controlling his Shinsu.
Shibisu is a funny guy. I think adding his comedic aspect to whatever's going on is a good call.
We see that Rachel wants Khun to lie to Bam that she is not Rachel. Bam can see through Khun's lies, but that doesn't stop him. He is going to use this as motivation to get stronger and with that, Bam is slowly becoming a likable person to me. However, he just needs to stop simping for this girl.
I'm happy to see more of Endorsi, despite her being a b*tch, but I love that cocky attitude. Oh boy! She sure likes to stir up drama, especially with Anak.
So a few of my questions were asked this episode regarding the princesses. It was stated, "The princesses of Jahad are recruited to represent capable tribes and families". Which makes sense considering the sisters don't look identical. It's not uncommon for anime to have twins or relatives that look-a-like, but I haven't seen that too often in anime these days.
We also learn that Anak isn't the real Anak, but her daughter. Her mother, the real Anak was supposedly killed by the Jihad princesses.
During their little fight between Anak and Endorsi, Anak called Endorsi a "horned woman". I'm wondering if that was just a general insult or there is more to Endordsi we haven't learned yet.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Megane - May 14, 2020
At the beginning of episode seven, we get a little more insight into what even a Jahad is, as well as the Jahad princesses. It turns out, the first person to climb the tower was Jahad. And now he is the king of the tower. There are still many things that are unknown about the king and the princesses but after today's episode, we learn from Endorsi some interesting things.
As explained in the previous episode, we know that the princesses are not related to the king by blood. They are women chosen from what I am going to assume the king deems worthy of the power the weapons they are given have. One thing I'd like to note is that we haven't seen what weapon Endorsi has. Or have we? Is it her small little knife or does she have another weapon up her sleeve? Good pun? Come on, I had to slip that in there.
What new information is shared is that princesses are not allowed to have intercourse nor are they allowed to have children. Anaak's mother broke this rule and this is most likely the reason she was killed.
I'm still not seeing all the hype for this anime. I still think it's overrated and its insane people are giving this anime such a high rating. To me, this is between a five and a seven. I just don't see the appeal. Call me a hater, which I am, especially if you've read my discussion/reviews for previous anime in this section you know what my taste is.
I think it's cool we are seeing the voice actor for Present Mic from my hero in this anime. He has a voice you can't forget! I had to re-watch the scene where they discussed the fourth test a little bit. Call me an idiot, but the way they explained everything was bad in my opinion and if I had to re-watch it four times to understand it, meh.
We get a list of which character is what role and I am hoping that the next episode will be enjoyable.

I think Bam's team is going to win. Seeing that Khun isn't being faithful to his "friend" (I use quotes because Khun still seems suspicious) and doesn't think Bam will pass. I think Bam will be able to show off his Shinsu training in the next episode and blow everyone away, literally.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Octavia - May 16, 2020
I'm enjoying it so far but I'm sure I'll like it less towards the end. Rachel is kinda a cunt.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - pipsqueak - May 17, 2020
Apparently, this last episode skipped a lot, according to reddit. I'm still behind on the webtoon so I can't confirm, but it did seem to gloss over a lot.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Megane - May 20, 2020
Another episode, another 24 minutes of boredom for me. This episode fails to amuse me once again. But I'll continue watching it since I am a completionist.
The fourth test continues and team A loses. Considering that both teams have a bunch of generic-looking characters with nothing special about them, it doesn't surprise me if we don't see some of them next week due to failing the test.
It seems, despite failing the test, some people will be advancing regardless because of the points they've obtained this test or I guess because of how well they were doing in general?
We can see the true power of a ranker through professor Quant. Being able to have that amount of shinsu power is pretty much God-like, which makes sense I guess, Tower of God and all.
Lauroe and Khun purposely betray their teammates. It looks like he only cares about the ones on the "friends list" assignment that was due in the past two episodes we've been watching. I was not expecting this at all. It's a nice turnaround though I'll admit that.
I'm guessing Endorsi is on this too considering she betrayed one of her own teammates too.
Gosh, the boys in this anime are the biggest simps and it's annoying. Bam as a character, in general, is just irritating. Rachel is also another character I dislike. This story is slow and boring and I feel like nothing is happening. I understand the goal is to climb to the top of the tower but they've hyped it up so much that I don't even care. I'm most likely going to give this anime a final rating of four or five. I was going to give a rating for this anime today but I'm just going to wait until it finishes.
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - dapoks143 - May 22, 2020
I like this anime. The main hero is not that OP and he is weak but I know for sure that he is stronger than anyone in there because the narrator says that he climb the tower with the girl name Rachael and he is not well trained for today's latest episode
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - BoxxyBabee - May 23, 2020
I've read a bit of the webtoon, this show relies on clichés. I'd rather just rewatch SAO
RE: Tower of God - Discussion - Yuusha - May 23, 2020
So far it has been pretty good, I was up to date with the Webtoon at some point many years ago, but it has been so long that it has basically been wiped from my memory.
