Pacing still seems wildly out of control, but the fights are a joy to watch. The triple kick today looked bad ass.
Usually you get a few good fights a season in a Shounen show. I feel like I've gotten 10 in 9 episodes haha
I went from disappointment thinking we won't see it and then you get the coolest sequence yet
I'm loving the music here too
And the same director is IN for Jujutsu Kaisen! More GOODNESS to come in October.
Music is dope in this anime. Pacing is out of control and the story leaves a lot to be desired.
I've started to read the WebToon, and there is a LOT of exposition that's been cut, but it's largely for the better. Some cuts however seem absolutely baffling.
I've been reading the WebToon alongside the anime, and thus far, most of the changes seem to be cutting out exposition like you said - which is WAY too much in the Web Toon - and re-arranging some exposition to come later in an attempt to provide a bit of mystique to the universe. I don't think it's a matter of the anime butchering the source material. The source material is heavily flawed IMO, and the anime makes the source material worth consuming due to bringing the fights to life in the best way possible.
I'm expecting a lot of the cut content to come up as a "big reveal" like what happened with Tower of God, which mostly worked, but I can understand the frustrations.
Having read the webtoon all the way to the latest chapter after watching the first few anime eps then going back to the anime, I appreciate how it's attempted to condense so much in so few eps. Like there's still a ton of exposition missing, especially for some future setups, but how they've come back to some key plot points in the most recent eps has been alright when compared to the bloat of the webtoon.

Yeah, I was like... woah they're jumping into that pretty quick, but I'm okay with the changes considering how compressed everything is. I really dug how they did those scenes together and if I recall, the anime's version waaaaaaaaaaay more impressive with the God Sword.

The cut character moments are what I find to be the most important. Mujin Park is missing a ton of characterizationYeah, I was like... woah they're jumping into that pretty quick, but I'm okay with the changes considering how compressed everything is.

Haven't read the webtoon. I like to read the manga after the animation is wrapped up. From an animation perspective this series is top notch, the traditional hand to hand combat is smooth and the impact frames hit so well. Still wrapping my head around the plot I understand they condensed it quite a bit.
This season I doubt it since we are quickly barreling towards the conclusion
My son and I are about to finish the latest season of My Hero Academia and will be looking for something new to dive into. While we love MHA, it's a little too booby and oogly for my tastes at times...especially when Mineta is on-screen. Or Midnight. Or...well, most women in the show who aren't in high school. Curious how this show is?
The show is fun and dumb but it's not appropriate for a young kid to watch. There's random fan service at times
Thank you. We'll give Mob Psycho a try and I'll watch this one on my own time.
I'm so conflicted on this anime. I don't care much for the characters, I feel mixed on the super powers and would've probably preferred more grounded martial arts action, and I don't care for the overarching plot. But goddamn does it look so fucking good. This last episode was incredible. How do they keep releasing shit like this weekly?
I have resigned myself to this show just being cool animated fights and dumb fun. If I get character moments that's just a nice little bonus. :)
I got all excited that there was a "new episode" release, but it was just the dubbed version...
...still going to rewatch it though 😅

I'm very confused on what's going on with some of the powers in this show.
Shark guy summons shark teeth that impale people but then it shows they didn't actually take impalement damage. What kind of damage are they taking? That one dude got chewed up and was spewing blood but then he had one little injury to the gut afterwards? But this episode the shark actually literally bit that guy in half?
Does the audience see this shark? Are they just seeing the guy magically suspended in midair spewing blood and then suddenly turning out relatively fine? What the heck is going on?

It seems everything short of the "Chomp" attack is more internal damage.
Was wondering the same thing with the fight between Jin and the 9 tailed fox guy. Like, does the audience see him as the 9 tailed fox complete with fox ears and fire tails? And did they see him summon a dozen fire foxes before they were destroyed by Jin's invisible (?) staff?
And how did the demon guy get devoured by the shark, but the other 2 people only lose an arm and a leg?
Shark probably only bitten half of demon guy's body

Based on the last two eps, the anime's done a great job going above and beyond the craziness of the battles in the webtoon so far. It's great.
Yeah, it's all visible.
I've read that part in the comic years ago and couldn't remember shit so whatever the anime does is new to me anyway
So did the compress the entire manhwa into 12 episodes?
The recent 2 episodes have completely lost me.
Went from a 8/10 cool series to something straight up bad.
I remember really enjoying the manhwa back in the day too.
Doesn't feel like this is setting up for a second season

Episode One: Make it to the high-school martial arts tournament
Episode 12: Kill a God
It was interesting, but now, it is as nonsensical as the lame anime/JRPGs go, where the main protagonist goes from the high-schoolder/adventurer to the world savior fighting gods and nukes... Plus, the hand-to-hand combat was way more enjoyable than this DBZ god-summoning...

Kill a god with a summoned meteor while 500 nukes are on their way to you
I thought Tower of God was good.
This has been very disappointing though. Don't know what they were thinking
This is easily the most incoherent show I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Just what the fuck.
Two things just killed this adaptation...
1. The hyper fast speed covering the source (13 eps for 110 caps from the webtoon is too damn fast)...
2. The many, many changes in almost every key event (like the outcome of the match between Jin Mori/Park Ilpyo)...
It's a shame that a beautiful animation is wasted with this pace and narrative decisions... :(

This show is like trying to compress the power creep across the entire run of Naruto into 12 episodes.
