![]() Just look above, or perhaps at anything during the final test’s underwater segments, for proof of that. When Tower of God wants to, it can frame some beautiful shots. Moving on we come to the direction of the series, and this is again inconsistent. But as a series, Tower of God just isn’t on the same level as other stand out shows of the year such as Eizouken or Kaguya-sama Season 2. Sometimes the art style can carry these scenes through, with coloring and line-working making the motions easier to follow. However what Tower of God isn’t is consistent, with a number of action heavy scenes just not getting the treatment they need to work. In particular the middle and final arcs have some great combat and character animation, the Anaak especially stealing the show a few times. Don’t get me wrong, if you want action scenes, there are definitely a few for you. Sadly, as much as I enjoy the backgrounds and character designs, Tower of God suffers in the animation department. They do a fantastic job of building this fantastical world, of telling us “this isn’t earth”. It’s these second ones that I like the most, as they remind me almost of Sci-Fi promo art. Some make use of a more painterly style, with brush strokes and blending colors while others rely heavily on post-processing effects to really nail their lighting or dust/clouds. Beyond those though, many of the anime original backgrounds are stunning. It’s obvious in a number of scenes, such as the Crown Game or Tag, that the authors layout and design skills were still developing. The variety of backgrounds throughout Tower of God is impressive to say the least, though a number do suffer from the original Webtoons limitations. On the backgrounds themselves, these can range from bland and monotone to beautiful, sweeping landscapes. Compared to the often post-processed backgrounds, this allows the characters to really pop when on screen. With only deep blacks to denote any kind of shadow. On top that Tower of God makes very light use of shading, keeping characters skin and clothing the same uniform color throughout. This gives Tower of God a level of personality, of visual uniqueness, that sets it apart from most generic moe blob anime today. Similar to Mob Psycho 100, its clear that Telecom Animation wanted to remain true to the original Webtoon’s style. It feels like it was drawn by hand rather than smoothly generated on a computer, most of the time at least. There is a roughness, a hand drawn quality, to the designs that I love. As far as art style goes, I like Tower of God’s quite a bit. Lets start with the obvious, something everyone can appreciate, the visuals. ( Disclaimer: I am working to make 50 the new “average”. ![]() Let’s dive in.Īnd warning, this review will contain spoilers for Tower of God. So the question is, is it good? Adapted by Telecom Animation and Directed by Takashi Sano, this is Tower of God. Its failure could mean that door stays shut for a long time to come. A possible breath of fresh to what sometimes feels like a stagnating industry. Its success could mean the opening of the door for other Korean series, such as The Breaker. So to see one of Korea’s largest series in Tower of God, originally created by SIU and read by millions, get one is a momentous occasion. Whatever the reason, be it heated diplomatic relations or just disinterest in the works, Japanese adaptations of Korean works are rare. From the obscure Shin Angyo Onshi to those people barely know were originally Korean such as Freezing. This is the story of the beginning and the end of Rachel, the girl who climbed the tower so she could see the stars, and Bam, the boy who needed nothing but her.Whatever many might say, Tower of God is not the first Korean work to get an anime adaptation. At the top of the tower exists everything in this world, and all of it can be yours. The streaming service describes the anime original as follows: "Reach the top, and everything will be yours.
