| This was just fantastic, I love it already. The animation, OST and direction are so on point. It's full of energy with a nice brisk pacing, constantly moving forward. It's very enjoyable and very immersive for that matter. I've heard a lot about the God of Highschool but I never got around to reading the manhwa and now I'm super interesting in reading it. To source readers, how is the adaptation stacking upto the manhwa? What's the pacing, is there skipped content? If there is missing content, I will definitely start reading the manhwa in parallel. Love the characters already, the bike chase scene was glorious and I was laughing at multiple points. This whole vibe seems to be over the top and crazy and the show knows how to make that entertaining. Very strong start, I'm invested already. |

Wow! First episode is really good. The fight scenes. The animation. The OP. The ED. The comedy parts. Everything is good as fck!!! |
| Can't believe they skipped Mira's epic jojo face |
 |
| I'm not gonna be like other people here who have a negative impression from the start due to the source material exposure. This was a fun first impression, but nothing particularly good in terms of narrative or character work yet, and I don't expect any of that, tbh. That OP theme chorus is grating as fuck, though. The ED theme is MUCH better. The CG sticks out like a sore thumb, ngl. |
 |
| Niiiice first episode! The animation is great quality, making the fight scenes super satisfying to watch and the soundtrack is fire! I really like the way they introduced the characters; it felt smooth and very natural and showed their personalities straight away. I don't know if it's just me but this had a 00's anime feel with the silly humour and wackily animated comedy scenes. A strong start in my opinion! |
 |
| What a premiere, even better than Tower of God. This is going to be fucking awesome! |

| Good shit. MAPPA is again just flexing with their high quality animation. The direction seems good, everything was very dinamic, they managed to keep it very stylized and the transitions in that battle royale fight were really good. The premise isn't that interesting but at least the characters seem fun to watch, although I'm sure that character development isn't the focus of this anime. It's always nice to watch something that doesn't try too hard, which is made obvious by this episode, but exceeds in what it is giving, and I'm sure this anime is going to have some great fights. I'm not expecting much but it still made me laugh sometimes and it seems pretty entertaining, so anyways. At least it seems better than ToG. |

nightcrawlercyp said: oh its obvius you dont know anything about animation, do you even know the basic principles? like the famous 12? Because it really doesnt seem like it if you are mainly talking about physic laws, muscle and bones, i REALLY dought that in 20 years you know less than me who has just been interesting in animation in about a year, so no need to lie here. And you complain about the shading, and yea no shading, nope, none whatsoever, its not like the clothes were stupidly detailed with shade nope, obviusly not.ElGoblino said: And here ladies and gentlemen we have someone that doesn't know shit about art and animation but he likes to talk and give his opinion and thinks both are same thing. The guy asks him how does this show have bad animation when in fact it's actually great and he responds with why everyone has red noses which has nothing to do animation. Facepalm well animation has been a passion of mine for over 20 years , studied it, created some 2d, 3d, game animation, done my share of art both in pencil and digital (see deviantart page with same name) but is clear I have no idea what I am talking about. True good animation accounts for the mechanics of biological bodies that have bones and muscles and respond to physical laws but hey that does not matter, right? MegamiRem said: Good animation takes into account the laws of physics and makes movements look natural. Also about the visuals they are supposed to represent real human being but there are a ton of parts not well drawn at all.Bad visual? Bad animation? Lmao wut? Care to elaborate what good animation and visuals are then lmao? Dust_Eyezz said: you gave arifureta a 9 and complain about visuals? Interesting... Arifureta had bad visuals? Interesting... I do not like this because it does not use shading (except for the noses which makes look weird) and the drawings look either sketchy or ... how to put this... with too many corners. Also Arifureta had a great story . This is a dime a dozen. I have read at least 10 korean manga with the exact same story as this anime. |
| Now this is a blast, compared to TOG. The OSTs, OP/ED, animation, characters,simplicity all are great, MAPPA did a good job overall! I always love Mori even in Manhwa, im happy to see his kicks being animated but i forgot just how many things they skipped since it's been so long i read the manhwa but it didn't matter that much i guess because this series overall is just pretty damn simple. |
| Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! The first ep of G.O.H is finally out!!!!! 100/10!!!! I'm so blessed to be born in this lifetime. I'm so excited. the manwha is so good. Although, I've only gotten to chapter 175 The music, as well, is also amazing! All of it. The sound director is truly skilled. I mean listen to that OST. It's ear candy, and it pumps me up so much! |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
kaiser17 said: if we were to compare the episode 1 of this to kimetsu no yaiba episode 1, i would say this had way better animation, if we are talking about episode 19 tho, not so much, but honestly from the trailers it could very well have an episode with better quality, pretty sure there was a cut from keiichiro watanabe (my favourite animator) in this episode, but he didnt do much, but he seems to be doing more cuts, so it wouldnt blew my mind if he did a cut better than the one in episode 19 of kny, the one from nozomu abe at leastI would say pretty okay episode. Animation is nothing sort of groundbreaking like kimetsu no yaiba or other ufotable works |
| OMG!!!!! First of All, I immediately fell in Love with the OP and ED as well!! Just Awesome!! Yeah, the art style is a bit different but I won't say its Bad! Every Anime has its Uniqueness!! There wasn't anything explained about the story Or the God of Highschool tournament, but I don't mind. The Action makes up for that!! SUBARASHI Animation!! I am fucking Excited for the Next episode!! Looking forward to it!! |
 |
| Impressed with the opening. loving the humor. pretty hyped for next episodes. loving the ending too. :D can it be better? |
| Very interesting first episode. The main character Jin seems to be the kind-hearted but air-headed type. The episode was also pretty fast paced with getting to the battle royale pretty quickly. It looks like this show will be filled with some good action. I'm excited for the next episode. |
| * below-average visuals * bad cgi * jokes from child cartoons (lol mc dropped random guy's pants, so funny) * awful pacing (looks like they adapted 5-6 chapters to 1 episode) * random fights with random people that I don't give a fuck about * weird character designs (that noses lul) * Crunchyroll product placement overall - perfect episode, 10/10 best anime of the season |
AnimeFA78N said: Okay guys i need to ask something hows this episode is compare to TOG Episode 1? pls give me your thoughts? Plot is almost identical but what else is there to watch? |

MegamiRem said: nightcrawlercyp said: Bad visual? Bad animation? Lmao wut? Care to elaborate what good animation and visuals are then lmao?Is this a bad clone of DOA from someone that seems unable to properly draw a human nose for some reason? I mean I have trouble with them as well but I do not make everyone look like they are drunk or having a flu. Also the drawing style is really bad I liked TOG but his one is really bad I mean bad visuals bad animation and almost nothing is explained, the comedy falls flat and so on The animation is really good, but it's so unoriginal, all Mappa animes have the same art style. I think because that, some people can think that the animation is bad. |
| in general felt very generic, somehow characters interaction felt even worse, in general action was good animation was really good for a tv show. comedy felt like it was trying too hard and just made me cringe, im not sure why but this show just felt less then average all around overall im really disappointed, i'll keep watching for 1 more ep and i hope it will get better for now 5/10 from me. |
| Looks kind of interesting so far. |
| The OP and ED are fire and so far I am a fan of the animation that this series has brought with the first episode. Now I just hope they don't rush this adaptation because that is the one thing I'm worried about but other than that I like anime with testosterone-filled fights and action and that's what this series is. |

| Seems like it'll be a fun show to watch. However I still haven't really grown to like the characters yet, since I feel like they left out some needed character interaction. Also the stakes haven't really been built up yet, so I have no reason to care about anyone winning the tournament (though I think later episodes will build them) It felt as if they rushed into the tournament too quick I guess. THE ANIMATION THOUGH. I'm still learning animation and this show will be really good material to study. Every punch and kick connected. God it was so fucking beautiful. I think I might read the first 50 chapters or so of the manwha so I have some context |

Coldpain said: Ye whatever lol, u really didn't get my point. First episode impression doesn't mean jack shit really. Anyway keep watching and see for urself if u'll like it or not.MegamiRem said: There's plenty of anime which dive deeper im first episode without any sort of explanation and it's perfectly fine. Anyway sure take ur time and see. There's lots of plot twist coming later. That's why there's a lot bad anime in the first place lol. If this first episode is perfectly fine for you but not for me who did not know anything about this series. The animation is good overall, the fight looks amazing as expected from MAPPA, but for first impression is not good leaving audience in a void. That's all |

shane_nichols said: How far is that enough is what I'm asking lol. First big plot twist is at the end of s1. Also GOH action is top notch.MegamiRem said: Enough to drop it. I read Tower of God though because it has much better writing.How far have u read? Surely didn't get past first season lol? Cause this is not dragon ball series where only action matters. Sure it's mostly action but the story here is good unlike DB. |
|
| They all must've caught flu Ah, a good studio really does make a difference. Even though I love ToG much more than GoHS, this premiere was much better than ToG's. And I feel like this adaptation will be much better than ToG's adaptation. I'm hyped. Good job, MAPPA (for now) |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |

Surely didn't get past first season lol? Cause this is not dragon ball series where only action matters. Sure it's mostly action but the story here is good unlike DB. What are you talking about? Better than DB. This shit is not better than anything cause literally after the timeskip it becomes a complete pile of shit. Don't even try to compare those two. |
|
| Pretty entertaining if nothing else. Enjoying the hip hop ost/music. |
| It looked like the kind of show where action almost never stops : can't say I dislike that aspect The fightning moves were entertaining, especially with the great soundtrack & the good use of punching/hits noises. |

Dust_Eyezz said: Then maybe you should rewatch it... not very generic from my pov. about CGI... is clear you grew up with movies that abuse CGI and that look like garbage so you have no idea how real stuff should look like. nightcrawlercyp said: Arifureta and good story? What did u smoke? Arifureta is the most generic garbage ever? It's like any other Isekai betray kinda stuff? Have you even watched the same arifureta as me?

You read some stuff here and there and think you know animation. The first animation I did was on an HC computer... have you even heard of stuff like this? Also I am complaining of shading when it comes to faces which are more important than clothes in my humble opinion. And if you are such a big shot show something you made you consider good. |
| Great chereographed fights, some hilarious humour and SAKUGA. Exactly what i expected from this and all i want. |

| God that was absolutely awful. I literally cringed at 3 points during the episode. I confess I only picked this up because MAPPA was doing it, and I generally never drop anything before I've seen a third of a season, but if its all like this, its gonna be a tough watch. All hype and no substance. The jokes were flat and the character designs were meh too. Let's hope it improves. |

DB was a huge thing when it came up and is full of nostalgia for many. It was poor quality even for that time but it was all we got. The new DB movies are garbage . Not sure why would you even compare it with DB... Let's compare it to more recent garbage anime (even though popular) like Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail |
