These webtoons that get hyped up need to stay away from crunchyroll cause they try to do 13 episodes and end up cutting shyt out and then you get stuff like this. The characters don't get enough development and you really don't get a reason to care about them. Then the story skips around so much it doesn't flow right. 1 episode you have a tournament for the best high school then a few episodes they unlocking and mastering godlike powers with very little explanation the source of the powers.

This shyt was fire but they definitely cut too much out though. Should have def made the episodes longer or more episodes. But they be throwing hands though that last episode :wow::wow:

10 shyt had goat tier action an animation. Was hooked from the first episode. :ohlawd:

The story and plot had its flaws, but not enough to where I couldn't follow along an understand what was happening (unlike Tokyo Ghoul Re) Everything eventually unfolded and the finale episode did a nice job of wrapping shyt up and putting everything into context. I never saw the webtoon or read up about it, so I didn't have any expectations going in.

You watch different shyt for different reasons. If you want some over the top fighting an action where the story plays the background a bit so nikkas can go ham, then this is for you. If you enjoy slow burns where the action is not at the forefront, then you might not get into this like that.

Crunchyroll has adapted three webtoons so far - Tower of God, GOHS, Noblesse.

All of them are guilty of skipping content from the source material and cramming as much as can fit within 13 episodes. This to the expense of narrative flow and characterization. I didn't know enough about the characters to root for their success. No one was memorable. No build up, no tension, just a lot of random stuff happening on screen.

I took some issue with the animation as well, relative to the webtoon panels that I thought delivered more impact and looked better. Some examples

I made the comparison of this to OG Baki the Grappler. Baki does not compare animation wise. But when somebody gets hit in Baki, it looks and feels convincing because they have broken bones, severed tendons and are pouring blood from multiple orifices. Often times losers appear to be on their deathbed because a superhuman martial artist just hit them with all their strength. Whereas this show holds back on the violence and doesn't do enough to make the punches appear as though they're doing a lot of damage. Was part of the reason I stopped watching it around the middle part.


That said, I do understand why others like it. If you don't read the webtoon then your expectations are probably mid-low going in. If you don't place special importance on fight build up then the lack of tension may not matter. and it does have a lot of solid looking hand to hand combat scenes. I can probably give this another chance sometime in the future and watch it all the way through, which I couldn't do with a bad anime

I'll give it a 5
