[Spoilers] Tower of God Season 2 - Episode 11 Discussion

tower of god, in general, is so frustrating to watch, with each episode I'm at the verge of dropping it, but it's a good anime so I wouldn't...

Bro got stabbed like 50 times and his back was still clean LOL

But hey at least this isn't promised neverland S2 levels of bad..........

QUEUE THE LOUD WUB WUB WUB DURING FIGHT SCENE !!!

I think the reason ppl don’t like this season is because the adaptation is beyond poor, putting the obvious animation errors aside the pacing is really bad and the tonal shifts do not help with the emotional impact. Music direction has been all over the place too. The reason why I’m still stubbornly watching is the characters and the story.

There are a lot of characters which I want to know more about. And the story is constantly building up stakes which makes me want to see the pay-off.

Talking about the episode,
I liked the character of Rachel because she’s been built up to being this maniacal yet conniving psychopath and I hope to see how she became who she is.

What I also liked in this episode was how they paralleled Bam and Rachel’s dialogue showing the characters’ traits. Bam expressing guilt over his actions even though he was coerced and Rachel repeatedly declaring the denial of her actions as wrong because she believes (or wants to make herself believe) they are justified.

If you think this is a good adaptation idk what to tell you honestly..
Tbh all fights are poorly animated i only watch it for the story.
People hate it cuz it can easily be ten times better not cuz the story is bad.

this anime adaptation is shit what do you mean. Even the sound engineering is bad. I saw someone comment on that last episode and just realized how bad that is too.

The only reason I'm watching this show is because ToG season 1 was one of my favourite animes of all time. Its so sad to see such a poor adaptation. I feel like I should've read the manhwa instead of waiting for another season all this time.

If Bam just kept this tone and got revenge on Rachel, this would've been a 10/10

This episode was good. Unfortunately they have been dropping the ball on a lot of scenes and the overall quality isn’t what we expected after season 1. The source is so amazing they would have to mess up really hard for it to be droppable.

Music is underused in shonen. A crap trap or dubstep track on the back of a fight scene enhances it greatly. I think kaiju 8 did this well too.

For this anime we have to split the judgement in two parts. On one side, you have the story, the character, the setting, the plot twists, the character design. All of these are the creation of the original author, SIU. On the other side you have the transposition from the anime studio.

People who haven't read the mahnwa can still enjoy the anime, if they don't focus too much on production, because of how good the original material is. Some other will hate it anyway. People who love the original source can still watch it, to support the author, and hoping for a better continuation. But right now is very disappointing.

This episode was a slide show. Most scenes are static pictures with just one mouth moving, and a slow horizontal pan of the camera to give an impression of movement. Static, neutral faces, with no change in expression even when talking about killing people. For comparison, here is a single panel from the manhwa.

If you enjoyed this episode, tag along and tight your belt! If this season is 26 episodes long, from now on there will be some fun! I hope they don't rush it too much

i think your opinion is shit

The way the anime is performing important scenes with a severe drop in animation quality is so frustrating. I have read a bit before this season dropped and so far it's been pretty average when it comes to the adaption. I hate to say that since the fights and story are actually amazing but the anime really just hasn't shown enough impact at all. For example: when Khun showed up and Rachel stabbed Dan there wasn't enough of a build up nor enough of shock to make it serious enough. That's just my take on this recent episode, I am just hoping that everything is being saved for the Bam vs Urek Mazino fight.

Probably because the animation was a million times better in season 1. But i'll take what I can get, since the web manga is way too long for me (like 600+ chapters ongoing). Anyways, fuc rachel

I really dont understand why some people are hating on this so much

The endless yapping in the middle of poorly choreographed fight scenes, for one. Two being they're ~half-way through the season and the biggest plot point is Rachel still being a bitch...like we didn't already know that from the 'superior' first season.

There's no suspense or anticipation: we anticipate her being a bitch going forward, and FUG are nothing more than a cliche underground organization pulling weak strings we've seen in every Hollywood TV drama for the past 30 years.

Reading manga till its latest, its totally worth it & finally the ~beginning of the ending~ arc has started & the anime kinda sucks, like compared to manwha, & the animation is so BAD!

I don't like the 2nd season's animation quality a lot but that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy it!
