Tower of God

Impatient people will always look away from an anime that starts all mystery and no explanation. I personally enjoy these animes because I get surprised at every turn. Tower of god, despite only having one episode is already intriguing and mysterious. Let's hope it keeps the hype till the very end.

I'm going to start off by saying I have no knowledge of the series outside of the anime, so for those of you let down by this webtoon adaptation, I apologize. To me a show is all about how invested it is able to get you in the characters, and the story. Every episode we learn more and more about our many characters, without too much spoon fed back story. The dynamic of the characters give me major Hunter x Hunter vibes which is a great thing in my book. At the end of each episode I always find myself wishing I could hit the "next episode" button, and with the current global situation, a binge worthy show is worth its weight in (insert something you value here).

What a big problem with this anime.

It's a shame how badly the adaptation of the mangwa to the animated format has been.

An extremely interesting premise in a totally wide world made the potential infinite.

Think of the wealth of characters and plots, with so much humanity and at the same time, with so much dehumanization in others.

A very strong first season with a painful ending (damn Rachel). A second season that took too long to produce and with animation and script far below its predecessor.

And even so, this story is incredible. I hope that the adventures of Bam, Kun Agüero (I didn't see any relation anywhere but it clearly refers to the former Argentine striker) and Rak can have revenge and justice is done to them.

For now, maybe I'll read the mangwa to stay hooked, but again, I can't help my disappointment at so much wasted potential.

Epics are significant stories that form the foundation of the cultures they represent. These long and complex narratives, filled with heroes, battles, and dramatic adventures, not only entertain but also explain the mysterious, mythic, and divine nature of the world. They also show how the world has changed over time, as the narrative takes place on a world historical scale, affecting the world's nature and permanently changing history. Ultimately, something is different at the end.

Like every single highly publicized series, it will draw critics who discredit it and label it as "overhyped," even though the majority of these critics don't often watch or favor shows in related genres to allow for an accurate comparison. Isn't it like a rom-com mob criticizing a high fantasy series for lacking humorous character interactions or being too "realistic" when those aren't the main plot points or the series' intended goals in the first place?

Season 1 of *Tower of God* stood out with its unique animation style, dark tone, and engaging story.

The mysterious Tower, complex characters, and intense themes of betrayal and power kept viewers hooked. However, season 2 feels lacking in comparison. The animation has lost its distinct edge, becoming more generic.

The plot also drags, with less focus on character development and pacing. What once felt like a thrilling, unpredictable journey now feels more ordinary. The magic that made the first season captivating is noticeably missing in the second season so far.

Despite the potential for deeper exploration, season 2 lacks the urgency and tension that defined the earlier episodes. Fans are left hoping that the show will recapture the charm and excitement that made *Tower of God* a standout in its first season.
