Tower Of God Review

Overall Thoughts:

Tower Of God has a great plot. You must climb the tower to receive whatever you want, power, wealth, and so forth. As we follow our lead, Bam we learn a lot about most of the main cast. This anime has really good overall character development where we learn about the history and the intentions of its cast. Tower Of God really brings the viewer into its story and its characters. Overall I would give this 78-80 for how well it executed its story and how it developed it's cast. But continue reading for my additional broken down thoughts.

(Note I have yet to read the manga/web novel).

What the show did well:

• Has a great plot and executes it well.
• Great cast of characters and develops them well.
• Characters are well balanced.
• The animation is very different but is quite good.
• The soundtrack fits very well with what was going on, and generally fit well with the whole story.
• Dealt with a large number of characters very well as so there wasn't a lot of chaotic storytelling with the characters.
• Binge-ability, I just found this show easy to binge-watch 1. Because it is only 13 episodes. 2. Because it really keeps you hooked just to see the next challenge they face.

What could've been done better:

• The pacing was good most of time but I thought it got a bit slow on the later episodes from 9-13 specifically.
• Though it dealt with the large cast very well I would like to see more of the backstory to some of the other characters such as Rak, Hatz, Shibisu, and the rankers.
• The fights were okay and didn't pack that much of a punch (no pun intended).
• I thought the OP song was okay but didn't suit the anime as much as I would've liked.

What really stood out to me:

• The animation as mentioned earlier was very different and I enjoyed it a lot, it really separated itself from many others in the shounen genre.
• The ending was quite good and left a lot to look forward too, along with being a very interesting (though somewhat predictable twist).
• I also thoroughly enjoyed the relationships and interactions between the characters.

Why I gave it 80/100:__
For me what really makes an anime good is its character development and it's pacing. Which I think Tower Of God did a very decent job at. The pacing could've used work along with the other cons that I mentioned. But the things that I really give it credit for is its characters and the plot. I think those two together really separated it from other shounen.

Do I recommend it?
Yes, it is a quick watch and I found it very entertaining. So if your into this kind of shounen, fantasy, continuous tournament ark type anime I think you will enjoy it a lot.
