Rachel can't bear to live in darkness anymore and so, despite her friend Bam's wishes, she opens the door to the Tower to begin her ascent. Bam, in despair, follows her, only to learn that ascending the Tower isn't as easy as just walking up stairs.

A strange creature named Headon tells him that he will have to pass tests to prove his worth, the first of which is evading a steel eel and breaking a black orb. Aided by Princess Yuri of Jahad and her companion Evan, Bam gains the magic sword Black March and is able to move on to the second floor. Rachel can't be all that far ahead – but it may cost him to pursue her.

Surprisingly I've never read the webtoon, hopefully this is adapted well. But the first episode was shooting a lot at you at once without giving a lot of background detail, so hopefully we get more info on the world in the coming episodes Surprised

Episode 1

A pretty good first episode, but I am not quite excited yet. I guess that I need some good character interaction.

I only watched the first episode. Overall I didn't care for the boy that appears to be the main character. There were other things that are harder to quantify that turned me off the show as well. I've occasionally stuck with other shows were i didn't like the main character. (Example: Attack on Titan, I couldn't stand the main character Eren. I was kind of happy when spoiler[ he was eaten by a Titan early on ] , but then was disappointed with how that ended up playing out. I haven't had the drive or desire to watch any of the other episodes of Tower of God that have been released. Between rewatching older anime i've seen before or watching more of this show rewatching old anime wins out.

Huh, I know that some series tend to not get a lot of love in series discussion but I did not expect Tower of God to be one of those. I expected at least a little season 1 discussion if I am honest. Anyway, the second season started off pretty strong. Bam has changed quite a bit and it seems that he is getting a new team to work with, whether he likes it or not. Said team looks kind of wonky right now but they did get to the 20th floor so surely they are not that bad.
