I can't put my finger on it, something is just missing with this show...
Also, I can't get past the red noses on everyone.

I really expected a lot but because they decide to rush things the adaption did dissappoint me.To keep it short they totally blew the adaption in comparison to the webtoon but I think it in conclusion wasn't all that bad.A 7/10 ig.But still it could have been one of the best this year if they did not rush it.The only problem with this series is that it messed up the pace but everything else was good.
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
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

This anime has an amazing soundtrack, excellent animation, nice though overly done character designs, and good synergy among the three lead characters.
But... The plot is terribly disjointed and a frankenstein of so many other cartoons/animes out there. The entertaining bouts disintegrated into a show of powers half-way through and took away the magic of the semi-traditional martial arts that were on display. If you find yourself watching it and enjoy the parts that it does right in the first half of season one, then stop at episode eight or nine and imagine a fitting conclusion.
