The God of High School

For the most part the animation is hands down some of the best hand to hand combat I've ever seen. However there are parts when the majority of the body or whatever is moving will drop out of the frame in order for them to show a close up on something else, leaving you with only the slightest clue as to what is currently happening. But the most unforgivable part is the handling of the narrative. The first half of episode one demonstrated a remarkable ability to expand bare bones writing into original and extensively detailed scenes. However there was also a pattern of condensing the more detailed parts of the original story into barely comprehensible, hyper-condensed scenes with next to no incite into the characters. The exposition as to how the characters arrived at their current states takes the form of single sentences mentioned in passing. This may be a consequence for the short episode count.

Well I like it I always longed for a tournament anime. Love it!

God of highschool is an anime based on the webtoon who goes by the same tittle, the story is about a teenager called Jin mori who loves fighting strong people. Jin mori is trying to find his grandfather who disapeared with the help of his two friend Daewi Han and Mira yoo who he met at a tournament

Some nice fight scenes and very good animation aren't enough to salvage a bland cast and a story that is all over the place. It's so rushed it feels like it started at episode 63. This should be my kind of anime, but I just can't get into it. I think mostly the problem is adapting an almost 100 chapters in a 13 episode anime, if you like some cool animation and fights scenes this is for you. I wanna recommend the manwa but if you read the manwa it's very slow paced, if you watch the anime it's very fast paced, so it's kinda complicated, I guess it depends your preference.

This could have been such an amazing show, but instead of loving it i just ended up liking it thats all. Starting of with the positives is the animation, really well animated and choreographed fight scenes for the majority. MAPPA is killing it. Well produced soundtrack, something which i can see myself listening to over and over. Where it lacked is the same where everyone seems to be complaining. The Narrative. Its like a good chunk of it was left out. Things happen in a fly and escalate from 1 to 100 like we are all buckled up but we are not so we end up crashing with the plot development wondering what and why and how it happened. And most of the missing part is exposited in a flash like we are supposed to go with it. Because of which character development also suffers. I dont think i was able to connect with anyone of the character, everything was in passing. A 25 episode season could have brought out so much depth and fleshed out the characters so much which was felt missing from the show. I wasnt wowed when i should have been but just ended up finding it cool.

Nonetheless they did try to achieve as much as they could in the limited episodes they had so its not all bad. You will be impressed by the animation, fight scenes and will be entertained for a while but you wont stop thinking about how good this all could have been. 6.5/10
