It’s scary how good you are at character analysis, based on a single episode. Bam (black turtle), Khun (blue turtle), and Rak (crocodile) were pretty spot on.
@@JoJoTalksTooMuch you should know that Tower Of God is a Korean web toon, not a Japanese manga. hence why the intro is done by K Pop, rather then Japanese band
I’ve mentioned this in other places, but all the webtoon readers better not give any spoilers. Specifically the one that I’m not going to name because we all know which one I’m talking about. Don’t ruin it for the anime only people. If they want to find out, they can read it themselves. Don’t be a [ *Redacted* ].
Crunchyroll is making it hard, so far it looks like, in my opinion, they're going to end the "anime" at S1 ep 73 and leave _you know what I'm talking about_ looking like the second coming of Hestia or something.
@@iansimmonds6084 It's just a theory I have. If they end the 13-episode anime at that spot it's a 'complete' story - find the princess. Like it says in the synopsis, it would be their "beginning and their end." If they went any farther than that it would end on a cliffhanger and then what happens if it doesn't get another season? I just thought Crunchyroll would at least like to have a 'complete' story in their library instead of an obviously incomplete one.
@@sonpacho if that happens.... yikes man. I don't think im gonna like that at all. Ending with THAT is the only good ending i can think of. I have a hunch that a 2nd season will be announced after the finale.
Fun fact: Khun (sometimes also spelt 'Koon' depending on the translation) was named after the Argentinean footballer Kun Agüero, which led to the blue and white colour scheme based off of the Argentinean flag but because the creator was using Google translate to translate the name, ended up with the wrong spelling
one of the parts that I like of tog is that characters change clothes and even hairstyles, so you could be doing more analysis in the next few episodes
Man you have no idea how close to the accurate your prediction about that blue character (Khun Aguero Agnes) is. 'coz, "You’re never really sure what blue is gonna do"
Just so you know, the 'azure streak' in Khun's hair is a handkerchief he has tied in his hair! It's a style choice because he's stylish and wonderful and I started freaking out when you called him a businessman because it's so true goodness I love him.
I enjoy hearing your analysis of the characters based on their designs. When I was reading these early chapters, even though the art was quite rough, I found the character designs to shine through as unique and eye-catching. Also, regarding Khun's design in particular, the anime kinda tweaked it a little compared to the webtoon (his hairstyle). I feel like a person's hairstyle can also convey certain things about their personality/background. I think you should check out the webtoon's version for reference.
As someone that read the Webtoon for years, this episode is not just fast, it is hyperloop with a rocket engine fast. The problem is that they basically condensed the first few chapters down to the most obvious actions and left every context fall by the wayside. Bams story is meant to be a mystery, so it is fine in his case, but Yuri and Headon have a lot more dialogue and inner monologue that explain a lot more about the tower. Not in the way that you know a ton more, but to set the scene a lot more and give more insight about the position of the different characters. So I'm kind of torn about the way the episode went. I would have preferred that they went the slow build up route, but instead they chose the hyperspeed rush route.
The pacing felt off to me. Things happened so fast that I feel like it confused people more than it should. The webtoon shows yuri’s point of view briefly, which I feel adds to the scene. There was also some dialogue cut. I kind of understand why they made cuts, and it makes sense sometimes for an anime. My one complaint is the rushed feeling it gave me, which I’m sure confused some first-timers much more than it should have, since there was little time to digest any information.
@@Jinx-iw6zb unfortunately they couldn't name Bam night in english as it sounds just like knight, and since the 25th knight makes more sense than The 25th Night naming Bam night would cause more trouble than it is worth.
@@WillAyeAmNot I mean the viewer/reader starts as clueless as Bam. They shower us with names, words and characters like we are familiar with them but in reality, just like the main character, we dont know anything. The worldbuilding is good but they throw it at you in small bits.
So the sirens are kinda a part of Straykids music? Like they are often used in their other songs such as MIROH, Victory Song, and District 9 (the Eagle sound is also in MIROH). Straykids are known for their high energy EDM/Rave dance music while BTS are more more hiphop/pop/funk/R&B? (They're hard to catagorize xD). As for Tower of God, I have been following the source material for about a year and the animation in this adaptation is so crisp and beautiful. The art looks even better than the Webtoon's art in the very beginning. I can't wait to watch the rest :)
youtube recommendations brought me here cause I'd been watching small anitubers' opinions on the show, as a ToG webtoon fan. enjoyed the video. specially the character design color stuff. neat idea. sad to hear about losing your job in these tough times. subscribed. lookin forward to your videos on future episodes.
This anime/story has some interesting way to hook people from the story. It question what you desire which lure you, then the way the whole tower is still a mystery adds on. Plus the simple goal of Bam to follow one female in this tower is not what it seems either.
I'm so happy to hear that you're doing youtube full-time now, I've always loved your videos on seasonal anime especially when you do analysis on the animation, character designs, colours etc. I already know I'll love your videos on ToG as well since you shipped Khun x Bam on the first episode lol Also, a warning to anime-onlys, I've seen some sites already having major spoilers in the discussion page, so be careful. To manhwa-readers, please please PLEASE don't spoil this amazing show, just don't comment if you're not sure!!
It's uncanny how good you are at analyzing these characters based on their desingns Baam particularly I mean there are some wrong in it but it's scary how accurate you are on some parts
Random trivia time because why not: SIU loves Football (some calle it soccer lol) therefore many character names are based on famous football players, Sergio "El Kun" Aguero is a player for Argentina, and the flag of argentina is mostly blue and white, thats why the Khun family color scheme is blue :) (just a trivia, your analysis on Khun based on color scheme was on point)
Super late, but about colour symbolism... khun's and bam's colour design literally invert each other invert bam, and he's gonna have light blue hair with deep blue eyes, invert khun and you'll get khun with brown hair and golden eyes I s c r e am
Great review and character analysis, I hope you’ll enjoy the show it’s one of my favorite shonen stories. Also you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber!
Cool interpretion of the colors, but fun fact about Khun Aguero Agnes, the author of the Webtoon is a big fan of soccer so he named the Khun family after Argentinian soccer players and the blue colors that represent the family are based on the Argentina flag xD, SIU is really out there when it comes to naming his characters...
13:18 i will just point this out since no one seemed to caught on. when rachel saved bam, she also clothed him. and if you look at their outfits in the beginning of the episode, they are really similar
Fun video. I feel like the episode had a bit of a rough start, wasn't really onboard until 10 minutes in, but I'm definitely onboard for the whole season. People been hyping this way too much lmao.
It's really interesting to see how non-webtoon readers view the character design due to what webtoon readers know about character design. I love watching these videos! It's fun to see people experience tog for the first time ^ ^.
Went into this one pretty blind, never even knew there was web toon (not my medium of choice). I really enjoyed the art style of this anime, I'm still a little confused on how this is going to move forward but I'm looking forward to checking it out!
Hopefully the OP changes the animation on future episodes after most stuff is revealed but who knows because the OP was bland when talking about what was shown although the song was amazing
I have a couple of things to ramble about: -So first I wanna say that Stray Kids (the group that sings the op) actually tend to put siren sounds in the background of their music so that's probably why that was there even tho I feel like they should take put those siren noises -I noticed that you've been calling the Blue Haired Boy Aguero and just so you know his first name is actually Khun (pronounced as Koon) and his last name is Aguero so I feel like it would be easier for you if u just called him by his first name -Also I recommend that you watch the start of the episode when there is a voice that is saying all you could have in the tower. When Khun appears, the voice says "Honor and Pride?" and when Rak appears it says that "Or something that transcends all things?" Which could tell us what their desires are. (Tho I will say that I don't really know if that is what they want but it's just my theory) Also yeah Bam x Khun is probably gonna be my ship for this show XD
Bams voice actor is not really a newbie, he voiced Maki in Bloom into You, which was one of the top anime 2018 and he had a bunch of side character jobs before. It is his first main character role though.
Also YES the opening Song is Fire, and I don't know much at all about Kpop only just some stuff of BTS, the visual tho was weird since they only showed Bam throughout the opening
I think was rushed, even if you dont know the story i think you will feel rushed. They should end the episode after the eel fight and give more time before that to show the characters and make we care more about them and their relationship! Still im excited to see more The opening credits ruined the op for me, the music was really good tho.
Koon Aguero Agnis is named after a Manchester city/argrntin efootball player Sergio Kun Aguero. You will find some more characters named after football players. Not to mention other references the Author incorporates in the Webtoon.
A lot of the names are straight from the Korean as when people translated the webtoon they figured "names are names why change them," and so like whist bam seems random in Korean it means night which is also why in the Japanese voice you hear them call him yoru which is the Japanese for night because that (for the Japanese audience) can make references to the meaning of his name feel seemless
I Have to say it this one showld have been 2 episodes... OR one Big 50 minute episode-Like Re:Zero. They crammed WAYYY TOO MUCH IN 22 MINUTES, this show is SLOW BURN. Other than that I dont know how ELSE they would have Animated it.. The voices are Cool, dont worry about the bland MC he Changes A LOT later on. As for the Sirens I think this is a metaphor for a SERTAIN back stabbing character - probably youll understand by the end of the Season.
Ima just put this here; i think bams personality right now is perfect- it makes sense regarding his situation and all and itd be very weird if it was different in any way lmao, though i did hate bam because of his personality at first when i started reading the webtoon, idk he just irritated me but i can say now hes a fab mc and a lot of thought went into the type of person he is in relation to his surroundings and background n all..
The only thing I did not like about this first ep is he showed how much he wanted to move forward by facing that creature to get into the tower then immediately after that after facing death and showing his willingness to do what it takes to achieve his goal he turns and runs away from a person that is not near as terrifying as the creature he just beat. Suddenly all that steel grit and I gotta get this done to move forward gone.
One thing I appreciate about the fact that webtoon is a medium for what feels like an older demographic than manga is that things aren't awkwardly sexualised. This is a very much adult or at least teen show, but it something I can watch in rooms with other people. Like for example princess Yuri, is the big sister character and you know 100% she would have huge tits if this was based off a manga. Or the spirit of black march, she's flirty but in an almost gentle sisterly way that doesn't come across as fan service
Ohhhh a fellow fudanshi, i see you will be another member of the dark ship sect in tog, interesting.Talking about his design, quick fact, his name bam in korean means night, and chestnut
I don't know if you've seen the translation of the lyrics for the op, but it matches Bam's character and overall struggle of the show to a T. I was also a bit on the fence before I looked into the lyrics.
Despite popular belief, I actually didn't love the first episode. It was good, yes, but it didn't really grab me like I expected it to from all the hype. I like the art style though and plan on still watching it Again though, I plan on continuing it. I am aware some stories take a while to build up...though those types of stories are typically reserved for books since that's where that medium shines
Will Gomes Well there is a lot of exposition thrown at you in the beginning of ToG even though the anime toned that down a bit. Some people have had trouble getting into the series because of the huge amount of information, lore and world building in the first season. But it’s really important groundwork for future twists (there are a lot) and progression.
It’s understandable that non readers had inflated expectations, this series is more of a slow, expansive simmer. The first ep isn’t supposed to be sensational like one punch man or demon slayer.
Actually since the beginning we, readers we we recommend TOG to others we always say to get up to the 7-8 chapter to start really to get into the story. That 0-6 Chapters are mostly what makes the 1st episode, so it's not really wierd if it didn't grab you yet, the good stuff starts after that.
If you don't have someone to curate your comments for spoilers I suggest you avoid them for this series, even mild hints might spoil this amazing story for you. Regarding the OP ive seen many other people agree that it looks so weird because they are trying very hard to avoid the aforementioned spoilers by showing characters/tests/floors/etc that would probably give too much by simply being shown too early and most likely than not the OP will evolve with the story progression.
I was expecting the animation will be in between of 2D and 3D quality. I mean the quality of the character drawing. I was expecting like Darwin's Game or Hero Academia level or maybe I just used to the quality of the manhwa.
Too bad the anime cut a lot from the webtoon, a lot . Tower of God have always been good at dropping foreshadows, hint and clues in the story and it is sad to see the anime completely cuts them away. If you like the anime should check the webtoon .

The new era of anime is here. The first episode got me hooked. Cant wait for the second episode!
Yes sir im reading the webtoon rn and i can tell you the end of season 1 will be on a cliff hanger
I'm surprised by how you nailed Khun's character by just his color.

Theres pretty much always spoilers or hints in OP's- though i think its what makes them interesting depending ofc on how theyre played out

It's uncanny how good you are at analyzing these characters based on their desingns Baam particularly I mean there are some wrong in it but it's scary how accurate you are on some parts
Random trivia time because why not: SIU loves Football (some calle it soccer lol) therefore many character names are based on famous football players, Sergio "El Kun" Aguero is a player for Argentina, and the flag of argentina is mostly blue and white, thats why the Khun family color scheme is blue :) (just a trivia, your analysis on Khun based on color scheme was on point)
The 25th Bam is a fish out of water in a similar sense as Nemo from finding nemo.
I loved your review! As a webtoon reader I would like to make it clear that Rachel is more of a mother figure than anything else to bam.
Super late, but about colour symbolism... khun's and bam's colour design literally invert each other

Cool interpretion of the colors, but fun fact about Khun Aguero Agnes, the author of the Webtoon is a big fan of soccer so he named the Khun family after Argentinian soccer players and the blue colors that represent the family are based on the Argentina flag xD, SIU is really out there when it comes to naming his characters...

No one under the age of 13. I turn 13 on May 12 but I live in the land of the free so ima keep watching.😌
loved the opening myself a ton, especially because it did a great job not spoiling anything.
Nobody broke down the episode like you did so imma subscribe, r u gonna make a vid on the second ep?
I'll likely be covering this week-to-week! :)
I have a couple of things to ramble about:
-So first I wanna say that Stray Kids (the group that sings the op) actually tend to put siren sounds in the background of their music so that's probably why that was there even tho I feel like they should take put those siren noises
-I noticed that you've been calling the Blue Haired Boy Aguero and just so you know his first name is actually Khun (pronounced as Koon) and his last name is Aguero so I feel like it would be easier for you if u just called him by his first name

Suddenly all that steel grit and I gotta get this done to move forward gone.
Man o man if you love color symbolism just wait
Ohohoho, now I'm excited!! ^_^
The opening visuals are probably gonna change after certain characters are introduced.
One thing I appreciate about the fact that webtoon is a medium for what feels like an older demographic than manga is that things aren't awkwardly sexualised. This is a very much adult or at least teen show, but it something I can watch in rooms with other people. Like for example princess Yuri, is the big sister character and you know 100% she would have huge tits if this was based off a manga. Or the spirit of black march, she's flirty but in an almost gentle sisterly way that doesn't come across as fan service
Ohhhh a fellow fudanshi, i see you will be another member of the dark ship sect in tog, interesting.Talking about his design, quick fact, his name bam in korean means night, and chestnut
I don't know if you've seen the translation of the lyrics for the op, but it matches Bam's character and overall struggle of the show to a T. I was also a bit on the fence before I looked into the lyrics.
The same with the ED's message
How to pronounce Aguero is (Uh-grair-oh). Hope that helped.
I'll try to work on it, thank you! ^_^
Oh there will definitely be more characters next episode
Despite popular belief, I actually didn't love the first episode. It was good, yes, but it didn't really grab me like I expected it to from all the hype. I like the art style though and plan on still watching it
Again though, I plan on continuing it. I am aware some stories take a while to build up...though those types of stories are typically reserved for books since that's where that medium shines
Will Gomes Well there is a lot of exposition thrown at you in the beginning of ToG even though the anime toned that down a bit. Some people have had trouble getting into the series because of the huge amount of information, lore and world building in the first season. But it’s really important groundwork for future twists (there are a lot) and progression.
I mean, people don't hype up a series based on the content of the first few chapters, it's usually the things that happen later on
It’s understandable that non readers had inflated expectations, this series is more of a slow, expansive simmer. The first ep isn’t supposed to be sensational like one punch man or demon slayer.
Actually since the beginning we, readers we we recommend TOG to others we always say to get up to the 7-8 chapter to start really to get into the story. That 0-6 Chapters are mostly what makes the 1st episode, so it's not really wierd if it didn't grab you yet, the good stuff starts after that.
@@parkjiminismylight6441 👍
I liked episode 2 a lot better, actually
In order for u to understand the connection between the song and the video for the op u would have to read it
Our Favorite Turtles are coming together next episode🙏😁😍
Aguero is a reference to Sergio Aguero the Argentinian football player.
SIU does that a lot.
This is me interacting for the algorithm.
you should read lumine! :0
i looking forward see your opinions(only person that i know that make good analysis and is going blind)
20+ minute video............yay!!
Special occasions call for to return of 20+ minute videos! :D
The 1st episode is just too rushed IMHO. Some deails weren overlooked and ToG is about the details if you want to understand the world they live in.
one reason you watch is to fulfill your inner fujoyshi? you will love this show then!
Stevonnie Jenkins is there anything to “fulfill your inner fujoshi” at all in this anime?
@@reena591 mainly the relationship between Bam and Khun, but also some really cute characters later in the webtoon
You love colors hm? Like a black turtle and a blue turtle? I also hope you love turtles.
when i see baam and khun i see gon and killua
As a webtoon reader, I too despises what they done with the OP. Mainly because how they portray Bam. Way off the mark!
We won’t find out about his history for several seasons
Bam is blacker than you ever think, he's often compared to black hole. (It's not a spoiler)... 😅
How does he know Kuhn and raks names in episode 1
You should review an episode of BNA: Brand New Animal
A video on BNA is dropping today! :)
If you don't have someone to curate your comments for spoilers I suggest you avoid them for this series, even mild hints might spoil this amazing story for you. Regarding the OP ive seen many other people agree that it looks so weird because they are trying very hard to avoid the aforementioned spoilers by showing characters/tests/floors/etc that would probably give too much by simply being shown too early and most likely than not the OP will evolve with the story progression.
KhuBam is life!
The character names are inspired from Football/soccer... the author is a fan of man United
Yup, if you glance at the comments you'll see that's been said a number of times now! :)
I didn't like the OP but since there's no spoilers on it I approve it.
I was expecting the animation will be in between of 2D and 3D quality. I mean the quality of the character drawing. I was expecting like Darwin's Game or Hero Academia level or maybe I just used to the quality of the manhwa.
Ah u will very quickly learn to hate Rachel my friend
Too bad the anime cut a lot from the webtoon, a lot . Tower of God have always been good at dropping foreshadows, hint and clues in the story and it is sad to see the anime completely cuts them away. If you like the anime should check the webtoon .
I feel like the opening credits might go
why is Raks clothes coloring makes it so much awkward xD 13:14
