Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community 04/15/2023
It is fun, charming, surprising, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all in one. The finale delivers a twist that I never saw coming and looks to significantly change the show for its second season...I recommend Tower of God. Go to Full Review

With smoother animation than Mr. Clean's dome, it feels like they've already solidified themselves as a contender for new anime of the year. Go to Full Review

Ray N @RT52885412 Jun 1 Everyone says it falls off after season 1 and I dont understand it. I loved season 2 far more than 1. Whole series is great. See more Ignacio S @RT54876738 03/18/2025 Climbing a Tower Can Be Fun A fantasy anime set in a peculiar world where many live with the goal of reaching the top of a tower. A simple but functional premise. The first episodes can hook you, as the introduction to the world, its intricacies, and characters is interesting. Plus, everything is presented at a very pleasant and well-paced rhythm. There’s all kinds of magic and a huge number of characters. However, some are clearly more developed than others, depending on their importance to the plot. Overall, the main group is well-handled. In my opinion, the universe is underutilized since almost nothing is explained, leaving everything quite superficial. The problem is that it constantly feels like this was done out of laziness or to avoid limiting future storytelling by randomly adding new elements. If you enjoy fantasy, magic, and games combined with action and drama… you’ll have a good time. See more jim B @RT55849126 09/16/2024 I enjoy the tower-climbing genre. This entry is a bit weird. Some good side characters, but our main character is unbelievably naive, and he's just pining for a girl who absolutely couldn't care less about him. I mean, can a kid not catch the red flags?
