Was apprehensive to watch this because I heard it's like 90% fighting 10% story/plot, but at least the choreography is good. Hopefully fight scenes in jujutsu will be similar cuz but not as rushed.

What do u expect they'll start with how this explaining how this series works? Exploring the world in an anime by yourself is so much better than just some 5 min random blabbering by narrator on world setting at the start of an anime.
The correct term is called info dump and while I would agree, this is done so randomly, but whatever you watch it for the fights and really nothing else because the writing is generic af
In what way is this generic tell me? Also is this ur opionion based on this episode only? Then pls stop dun wanna argue with a guy who only watched one episode.

I loooooooove tournaments, so this had a high chance of success for me before it even started lmao

Wth with this first episode. I'm not webtoon reader but this first episode look so fast. I mean like the conversation between mira, jin, and han is to fast. The comedy part is pretty cringe and no explanation at all about this series.
I'm gonna rate 2/5 for now

The first episode should be interesting and give an expression that is easily understood by the audience. Idk if you are webtoon reader or not but for me who did not know anything about this series is really confused about what is this series about. I'm not saying every first episode of a series need to be as clear as possible but this episode ia absolutely abstract. That's why i'm giving 2/5 for NOW.

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.

What an interesting pilot episode.

That prime minister is scary. But it kinda reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle. I wonder what powers does he still have...

As seen from the sneak peek, the chase is quite hilarious especially Yoo Mira getting splattered into the signage. A trio has been formed.

Battle royale? Never expected that since most tournament arcs are based on rankings.

Damn, Man-seok is interesting. Especially voiced by Gin-san aka Sugita-san. His attacks are good.

Animation's quite alright, I hope it wouldn't drop in further episodes. Can't wait for the next episode!

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

Enough to drop it. I read Tower of God though because it has much better writing.

Finally after the Corona drought there is a good show to start off this new season.
The opening fits the show. Its a martial arts tournament with fancy dance moves

This will be an enjoyable show but a fucking hell of a rushed mess, so in no universe i can give this a 10. Like they adapt what 7-8 Chapters within 1 episode? Dogshit, but guess that is to be expected, sincee most are here for the fights and not the story which is fine

I think a good first episode is might to hook you in and I AM HOOKED!
The animation was pretty good
OP AND ED was FUCKING AMAZING-it fits the theme that GOD OF HIGHSCHOOL IS REPRESENTING; that is anime is going to be FUN and ACTION PACKED
The interaction between the 3 main characters- Jin Mo-Ri, Han Da-Wi and Yu Mi-Ra seemed a little rushed

Okay, that was entertaining as heck first up!

Op visuals are right on point and one of the most exhilarating ones from the year already! Music and Song are pretty dope too, even though I'm not usually a fan of dub-steps. Heck, even the ED is great too (visually and song-wise). I didn't think we'd get Op and ED on par with Kami no Tou so fast from these CR Originals, honestly. Soundtracks gets a big OK for me too.

Animation itself is pretty good and I enjoyed some of the action scenes a fair bit. I watched the 5-minute premiere earlier so I know motion capture was integrated here and it looked great! Here's to hoping the quality won't deteriorate too much from here on.

Directing also stood out this episode. Hopefully, we'll be getting the same from JJK next season.

MC pulling down the pants and connecting a blow to the ankle plus the main female lead showing a bit of her fighting prowess were some of the more memorable moments of the episode for me. Prime Minister bit at the start was kind of random but I'm looking forward to seeing how that'll be developed alongside the tournament events. Seems like our MC has had history with these folks, how interesting.

Cliffhanger to end things off and it'll certainly be some wait for more. So far, easily the best first episode of the Season but the big guns have yet to air so maybe it's a little early to call it.

By the way, I noticed a lot of CR and Webtoon advertising. Lol, it's nice to see them being quirky like this.

Animation is good for the first episode, I don't know what's a good animation for you.
For the red nose, the author designed like this, which doesn't disturb me.

Okay, this was a really entertaining episode. The problems I had were the mc's voice, it seemed a bit grating and the hit or miss comedy scenes, which were mostly miss. But the fights looked pretty cool and the animation is great. Not a fan of the OP but I liked the visuals and the ED is good. Looking forward to more!

i now just finished the episode. Very weird composition. It seemed like they were missing some in-between animatros since half of the fights were really wacky despite having good key animation. It looked more like 100 pictures back to back in a montage, rather than "animation" per se. I find it hard to describe it but yeah.

They adapted around 7 1/2 chapters this episode... rushed mess.

some fights were decent, the OP is hype. Ill give it a 6/10.

Dont think it will go above 7/10 at the end of the season.

Guess it will reach a similar score like ToG about 8 maybe or less

I knew this anime will be promising after watching the trailer. It certainly lives up to its hype like Tower of God. Though I noticed that some things was skipped in the anime, because I read the manhwa before; however, it's still a great for anime only. Props to MAPPA for the Animation. I hope that the next episode will introduce the characters.

already quite a lot of action from the start which is nice. nothing really special but still interesting to watch. i really loved that chase though when all three of them teamed up that was funny lmao.

i like all of the characters personalities too especially mira (i'm not good at remembering names).

it was quite funny to see korean names and hangul everywhere in an anime as i used to watch a lot korean stuff before lol.

First things first, that OP is absolute fire!

Secondly, based on first episode impressions I'm already enjoying this way more than it's webtoon comrade Tower of God.

The scene where the main characters all meet feels slightly forced and unrealistic (not just because of the munching) — it's obviously happening for plot convenience, but such stuff aside in terms of action and entertainment I did like it. The cast has some vibrant designs as well, I dig how all of the important ones have the nose blush, it's a small thing but it really brings them to life.

When I first tried the webtoon when the anime for this was announced I thought this was gonna be a flop from day one, but i'd still give it a go, turns out this has a chance!
It made me laugh a few times, and Mira is genuinely likeable. I'm not very big on the whole fighting thing though, so a few points down for that.
The two big problems I had with this episode were the streamer-rapper guy that just made me want to die, and the super obvious CR and webtoon adverts on the ring apron in the intro and in a background in the actual episode, other than that this was fine
Animation is average, I expected better from the guys trusted with the final season of AoT, but oh well, I still have high hopes for that animation-wise.

This by far trumps ToG's first episode, this is the better of the two "webtoon anime" so far.

Yea tbh,if we're going to compare this opening vs the ToG one,the latter wins BY FAR. I don't like this opening but I like the visuals and another thing that I hate is the role that crunchyroll plays in this anime.So far I love both Daewi and Mori but I'm meh towards the girl. Loved the action tho, it was hard keeping with what was happening at the end but I loved it and also kinda hate the battle royale thing.

I normally don't like action shows (yes, I know, it's weird), but I thought I'd give this one a go because the OP was kinda catchy. It was actually pretty interesting.

Pretty good action and animation, but I think it might have been a bit too fast-paced with too little story. Also, what's with everyone having red noses and cauliflower ear? Still, seeing as it's only the first episode out of thirteen, it's a bit idiotic to judge it so early, so I'll watch and see how it continues.

The red noses is just a part of the artstyle choices from the webtoon pretty much. For the series in a way, its a trademark lol.

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?

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
Bad visual? Bad animation? Lmao wut? Care to elaborate what good animation and visuals are then lmao?
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.

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.
