If you're in Australia, thankfully AnimeLab's app is pretty decent and they get ALL of Funimation's stuff now due to a partnership.

Crunchyroll will sometimes get Funi shows after a delay like with the Madoka spin off last season.

I'm hyped for several of the siren shows (new trigger, kaguya s1 was loving hilarious) but really hyped for Tower of God. imo the best korean webtoon and it made no sense to me why all the korean studios spend all their time adapting japanese works while this gem sat untouched.

Tower of God didn't do anything interesting in the first episode. People have been hyping it, does the source get better later on or is it a bad adaptation?

It gets better, this episode was just super basic foundation setting. The series is kind of like One Piece in that the beginning doesn't immediately hit it out of the park, but things continuously build up to better and better things. It's a real shame you didn't recognize the greatness of a Hunter and his turtles though.

Nate RFB posted:It's been so long since I read the starting chapters of ToG that the first episode had this very empheral, mystical quality to it that I thought was rather neat but upon actually rereading said chapters they skipped over quite a bit to actually ease people into the setting (most notably in Yuri just kind of showing up out of nowhere). That said yes it does get significantly better as it goes on, its had a million arcs by this point that ebb and flow with quality but if nothing else just has a lot going on in it that I find very compelling. I enjoyed the first few arcs but stopped reading towards the end of the Hoaquin/Hell Train arc, vaguely meaning to pick it up against at some point. Do later arcs have more compelling villains than Hoaquin? Because it's disappointing that after Khun made fun of Viole for pretending to be a "villain from a third rate fantasy pulp," we got an unironic storyline about a smug guy who brags about how he killed a billion people because his daddy didn't love him.

I'm glad CR at least got one of the detective shows I was planning to watch and funi didn't end up with both of them but I was kinda hoping to not have to deal w/having to separately track down a show this season, alas.

Qwertycoatl posted:Tower of God didn't do anything interesting in the first episode. People have been hyping it, does the source get better later on or is it a bad adaptation? The very beginning is the roughest part, even in the original, because it has none of the strengths that makes people like ToG (outside of Yuri Zahaad being kinda cute I guess) and the author just kinda dumps shitload of lore, characters and motivations (that are, to be honest, not super intriguing on its own) on the reader and then just rushes through them to get the basics out of the way. The anime makes it even worse, because it rushes through the introduction even harder, so it cuts out even the little bits of info and hints that were present in the original webtoon to makes things a bit more intriguing. That being said, it was success in the sense that the anime managed to get through that rough start in one episode, so I would recommend to continue watching for one more episode, because that's the part that usually hooks people into reading(watching) Tower of God.

The first episode of Tower of God was actually one of the best we've got in a while, certainly better than any non-Dorohedoro intro last season. Mainly because every just jumps right into the flow of poo poo. Hope it keeps up without getting too confusing.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but when I read ToG, I found a certain recurring antagonist to be the most compelling character, they have to rely on wits and skill to scrape by against some ridiculously overpowered bullshit.

for a general feel: how much is every single other korean comic just ripping off tower of god because it sure feels like 75% of the ones that i see are ripping off the same thing and it's either solo levelling or solo levelling is just also ripping off tower of god i haven't watched tower of god yet, from what i hear i think i want to let some episodes pile up

If anything Tower of God is fairly different from the standard Korean comic/webnovel template and that's why it's more popular. In particular it has a way more interesting setting and a strong supporting cast. As for what originated the genre, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor is probably the oldest example I know of (it started in 2007) but I doubt it was the first.

i'm not sure if solo leveling was the original work or not, but every element in that story is found in many other korean webnovels. most of the closest matches i'm aware of came out a year or two after sl started, but who knows? i can't think of anything that really imitates tower of god, though. there are plenty that are about climbing towers, but the tone and content aren't otherwise similar.

I just reread the first few chapters of Tower of God and was surprised by how much the anime cut out. Granted, a lot of what was cut out were passing references to random aspects of the setting to set up things way down the line, as well as comedic bits that didn't really work, but they also cut out some bits that genuinely built atmosphere. In particular, Headon seems more sinister and obviously planning something long-term in the comic, but Bam and Rachel themselves also seem more sinister and enigmatic than what we get in the anime. It's possible they're saving some of the exposition about Bam being born alone in darkness (and implicitly non-human?) before meeting Rachel for a later episode, but I think they cut Bam telling Black March that Rachel sometimes lies to him and also trimmed Evan's inner monologue about Bam so that it's less clear that he thinks Bam is a pretty nuts. I guess I'm nitpicking a bit here. The episode had a difficult job of balancing introducing different aspects of Tower of God without feeling like pure setup. They handled it reasonably well, all things considered. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Apr 2, 2020 |

I think they're skipping over a lot of content for two reasons: 1) They get to the meat of the story much quicker to hook the audience, and 2) They can easily add more/elaborate on it when we get Rachel's POV later on, when we actually have more context on the story.

Watching Tower of God w no familiarity w the comic, I can think only of a slightly more boring HunterxHunter. Looked alright, mostly, but the characters are whatever, there's too much exposition upfront and the voice acting was annoying, too. Imma give this one some time to build up and marathon it but what w all this buzz around it, color me unimpressed.

I feel like it's a little more complicated than that; a lot of floors do have Hunter Exam-like tests but they play it pretty fast and loose with the formulas (in some cases straight up abandoning the tests because it just winds up being a pretense for the actual plot happening at the moment).

I doubt the anime will ever actually get there, but I stopped reading because it kinda devolves into DBZ power levels after a while.
