EP. REVIEW: The God of High School

When the episode begun and i saw the dumb marriage proposal my first reaction was "seriously, this dumb cliche filler nonsense?" So i proceeded to fast forward the episode only to get a huge whiplash when i suddenly saw her already in a bride dress just by the half time mark. I straight up said out loud "excuse you, what?", Lol. Now we are supposed to look forward to next week, when the irritating shounen protagonist MC will teach his fallen into the dark side friend the errors of his way.....

Seriously though, this whole daewi became a cold hearted bastard thing is so dumb. While it is easy to make the case that he was being scummy by specifically aiming for the abdomen laceration he saw her get just the day before, from another angle one could say he was just respecting her as a warrior by taking her that much seriously,. And we were apparently supposed to think his force was excessive and she could have obtain permanent damage... In a show that went out of is way to tell us that their nano machines can even fix a broken neck, in fact, why was she still injured on that fight? This show just keeps shooting itself in the foot

I should point out that episode 4 was actually an arc in the source material, and is generally considered the worst arc in the series, so stuffing it all into one messy episode is probably a good thing overall (strongly doubt anyone would want several episodes dedicated to it). Would also be a bit difficult to just skip it since it did have some consequences such as Mira getting slashed and her sword being stolen.

Also, if you think the story is too wacky for you now, then you should probably just leave, because this part is probably the most grounded in reality the series will ever be.

So...do we know how many episodes this show will have?

I’m pretty sure it’s been confirmed to be a single, 13 episode cour just like Tower if God.

Im guessing most of you haven't read the manhwa. If you did then you shouldve probably realized this manhwa is focused on the fights and the idea why this manhwa is addicting. We only wanted it to be animated not given some dressing on the story. For the newcomers, WE FEEL YOU ALL SO DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH ON DRAMATIC OR EXTRAORDINARY PLOTS. You'll understand once they get to 2nd or 3rd arc, but till then appreciate the effort of the studio. Plus author san has gotten these critics way back in the early days of the manhwa. To sum it up its for the fight scene addicted viewrs

Well, where were those fight scenes then? Just don't invest so much time into something you're actively terrible at while sidelining what you CAN do well. And I know it wasn't the worst part but god, I'm still annoyed by the sword thing, that was so braincell-devoid in so many ways.

And that's just how adaptations work. If you did something well, you'll get praised twice, and if you do something dumb you'll get called out twice. I don't see why us anime watchers should refrain from criticizing the very bad stuff.
Although there's something for the director too. I bet there were much better ways to conclude this episode than going for that guy's instant downfall and the dumb girl's beatdown - specially since otherwise the rest of the episode was about her, not him.

That's fair, but at the same time, one must not quit for something they haven't seen the rest of it just because of one bad episode so far. One must have patience to watch the rest of the series to give proper judgment because quitting early just reeks of impatience and having demanding standards.
