God of Highschool, another action anime that has fallen flat on its face. In this review I will go in depth on why God of Highschool did not live up to our expectations.

Pacing issues played a huge role in the decline of the show as a whole. Trying to cram in multiple chapters was one of many mistakes MAPPA made while making GOH. Not only does this make it feel rushed it also feels as connections between characters are rushed. As an example it takes many chapters for Jin, Mira, and Dawei to form a bond while in the anime it took one episode making it feel rushed and unnatural. Everything just moves very very quickly jumping from one thing to the next which brings me to our next point.

Other than pacing issues the plot also was the biggest factor for me on rating GOH. In the webtoon everything gets explained in a organized manor. The first 3 chapters are about Jin, Mira, and Dawei and their motives for fighting in the tournament. We get none of that in the anime along with that we get little to know backstory on them at all. The main plot is a complete mess jumping around cramming as many chapters as they can in 23 minutes. As of now most of our questions 12 episodes in mind you have not been answered making the anime extremely confusing. At this point most of us are not even watching for the plot anymore just for the animation, and "cool fights". Like I've said it moves very quickly with little to no explanation jumping from one confusing plot point to the next. There was no plot to be found in this show which was very disappointing GOH had a lot of potential.

There are a few good things I can say about GOH that is the animation, and soundtrack. The soundtrack fits particularly well some may argue about the OP, but the OP for GOH is not terrible. The animation is stunning to me it is perfect for the show. Animation reaches its peak during fights making the show just a little more bearable for me. That's about all I can say that is good about GOH.

In conclusion, should you watch this anime? Only if you really wanted too I recommended the Webtoon for this particular series. The webtoon pacing, and plot actually make sense. What I found to work reading and watching at the same time it will make GOH more understandable and enjoyable. To me this show had a lot of potential it was one of those shows you want to like but just can't.

MAPPA defiantly should have sticked to it's source material. Although I do believe Crunchyroll had a role in how the show was going to be panned out MAPPA isn't all to blame. They should have slowed down so consumers could understand the main concepts instead of skipping right over them. I feel GOH should have been at least 25 episodes instead of trying to cram over 100 chapters into 12 episodes. However I also do feel MAPPA, and Crunchyroll made this anime a pointless action anime which is sad to see as the story is much deeper in the webtoon.
