agreed despite having read the webtoon myself it was a long time ago and details can be hard to understand through the translation from Korean at times so it is nice to have some clarity.
I stopped shortly after the long butt hiatus before the supposed last arc. ( We see the head of clans fight ) And i am confused af. Like i found my chapter but its like doin the job of a already started project.
I was on the Hell Train when I decided to take a break. They had just hit the 43rd floor (yes, bad place to stop). It's been so long since I read season 2 I can't remember the anime difference.
i really like tho flow in charts explaining what high ranker etc are, really nice to shorten the video but also dont taking any of the flow away, i really like it pls more of it!
There’s a ranking system on strength. The top of E class are even strong but I’d say very raw. B and C are even seen as very elite fighters and D and E are still very talented if you get into the top 10
It's interesting that the official translation started off with "Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique" but then migrated to "Flare Wave Explosion" for the same technique.
I've been reading TOG since 2015, so Im at a point where I'm not even sure where the alternate translations begin and end. Does webtoon update the translations also? Like going to an old chapter 3 years after it's been published and changing the terms or names? Because sometimes I swear I thought something was referred to as something else at some point, but I go back and it's just the standard. 😅
yeah webtoon has never had a dedicated set of translators on any given series; they just toss it to whoever's available on their team. since the team is translating 100s of webtoons, most of them aren't familiar with the source material and translate things literally with a guide on common terminology for that given series. it causes there to be less quality checking and a _stupid amount_ of improvising, which is why we get whacky terms like 'flare wave explosion' and whatnot that doesn't exist in the actual text.
@@vrinkee I WISH they updated their translations and stuff, the old material is translated so bad and the english version has visual/layer errors most other versions don't have
Agh. This is bringing back memories of how many fail at climbing at a certain point. I forgot how dark ToG could get until it showed the bird dead from poisoning. I forgot some of the characters (the medic/wave controller that poisoned the bird) were absolute psychopaths and that many of the tower inhabitants were pure evil.
@@KhanMann66 Eh. I personally loved the progression. I know there was one part (might have been S3) that semi drug on, but not all that bad imo compared to many other series.
Yes please more of Tower of God. Been waiting a long time for this and your videos will makes it a lot easier to understand instead of looking it up like I did last season.
Holy... you're right. It's implied via conversation but no dates are given and only Bam really changes in design at all. Khun and rachel look practically identical and all the sidecast stay the same too. Not that I expect hard changes like Bam, but an indication more than Rachel taking off her hairtie might have solidified that idea. There should have been like a single line from Bam to the Prince about trying to raise thru floors, a line from the admin or something. Just one throwaway line could imply so much more than what was there.
I read all the webtoon till about the 350th chapter 5 years ago before the anime was even announced. It’s refreshing seeing it again, I forgot almost everything about TOG. I wish I could forget it all and start completely new, I love this series
It's awesome that you're doing this again! I loved that you covered season 1 before, but this time I don't just appreciate it but need it, haha. I've been reading the manhwa for 9 years now and have only re-read season 1 and a few arcs in later season 2, so a lot of this information is a nice refresher. It seems like you also dig more into the blog posts and wiki too, something that I'm sure a lot of viewers will appreciate if they're unaware of those sources. I see snippets of information from the blog posts in comments on the chapters, but otherwise I miss out on a lot of that information. Great job putting these together!
As an anime viewer, I was just so confused as to why I had to learn these new set of characters and I felt that even thought the anime apparently didn't leave out too much, it felt like a tiny bit of monologue was left out which were needed to round out these characters It's been 7 episodes and I still feel like I need to trust the process and let the new characters develop themselves a bit. I think just as you said how this new season of climbing through the 20th floor is like us going through our 20s, nothing too remarkable as happened but we should just let things simmer and all these characters will come into fruition.
I'm happy that S2 of the anime came out, because the manhwa translation on official English is so wack and not understandable, that it hurt my brain when I had to comprehend what they want to say. Adding your summaries to the anime is a perfect combo of fun and understanding of the plot and story. Keep up the good work!
For me every week when it feels like it's gone by what feels like 5 minutes I go like darn it because I'm looking forward to the next episode already 🤧
The anime did a poor job answering so many questions we needed, thank you! I almost didn’t keep watching season 2 after the first episode because i was so confused. Its so nice to know what lighthouses, guides, etc. are as well 😂
I’ve read it and there are so many different characters and groups of characters that actually are important and they switch up constantly despite that fact, I love the love tower of God and I really hope they keep writing the story and keep animating the story. I hope we get the whole thing animated it’s quite long and I love it.
I’ve been caught up with tog for awhile now but you were the one who got me to read it. I still come back tho cause I know your videos are good and give other incites.
I'm really happy to see videos for this series! I dropped the manhwa, because the walls of text were getting boring to read, so this will be a huge help to catch up.
Yes, please, even though I’ve read most of what’s currently out!! but I want this anime/Manwa to get as much love as possible. It’s one of my favorites.
I've been reading tower of god from chapter 1-500, i did watch ToG Season 1 Anime before, it looks great and im still watching ToG season 2. I hope season 2 would release 24 episodes or 36 episodes for this
Oh yeah! Definitely keep these up for this show. The anime pacing leaves quite a bit to be desired. It’s like they are trying to confuse you or make you go read the source material. Lots of good stuff in this video connecting some dots without spoiling anything.
I love the perspective shift from season 1’s high class regulars to season 2’s middle class. When watching season 1, you don’t really grasp just how powerful these characters are compared to the rest in the tower because the story is viewed from their perspective. But in season 2, you get characters like Robdevil who reference Hatz as a god-like enemy
My biggest issue with ep. 3 was the cut bath scene content. While it's cool to get to the action. Tower of God is made great by it's character development and intrigue.
I hope season two gets to a good amount of stuff the man covered before it ends. I don’t know how many episodes they’ve allotted for this season but there’s a lot of stuff coming up stuff and I just hope we get to see it.
100% keep up the videos. I am currently caught up in the series manhwa, but man this arch was such a long time ago and I really don't want to have to read it again.... Lol
