I barely noticed the CGI to be honest. So I'd say they did a great job blending regular animation and CGI. I don't care what kind of tricks they used, since the end result looks good.

orion · 2020-07-10, 20:27

CGI wasn't an issue for me. I had fun during episode 1.

Mad Pierrot · 2020-07-11, 16:32

First episode was kinda average. I mean we had one of the oldest cliches in anime but combined with action. Still I'll judge it once we have a clear one on one fight in order to see its own appeal. The character designs don't bother me. They seem quite simple after all the weird designs from One Piece

Episode 2 is available legally on Muse Asia channel for people in SEA region:

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Uh, is it just me, or did someone push the Fast-Forward button on this episode? Everything happened so rapidly as if plot-points are fired from a machine-gun

. As a result, I don't really feel anything for anyone this episode. Just fighting-flashback-fighting-flashback-fighting again.

So yeah, I don't really like episode 2. We need more time to breathe to get the feel of the characters. Even plenty 90s fighting anime did better than this.

Kanon · 2020-07-13, 18:53

Yeah, the second episode was kind of boring.

serenade_beta · 2020-07-13, 19:29

Umm... Did I see Crunchyroll's logo in this episode?

So Crunchyroll exists as a company in this God of High School world and is sponsoring this tournament? I thought Crunchyroll broadcasts and subs animes, not care about high school fighting tournaments.

Yeah, I'd like to know whether Crunchyroll asked them to put their logo in as advertisement or if Mappa did it on their own will.

There was also the WebToons logo on the platform. I thought it was a nice visual allusion to the show's sponsors. (I assume that because this show is a "Crunchyroll Original", there's CR money floating around somewhere in the production.)

I'm surprisingly ok with this having no plot and all fights, I wasn't expecting this to be plot heavy in the first place.

**monir** · 2020-07-14, 12:22

The shounen fan in me rejoiced after a hiatus in good action series. Episode 1 and 2 was so good. Not watching this for the plot.

magnumcyclonex · 2020-07-14, 14:26

I hadn't noticed the CR logo in any of the scenes. Guess I was just enthralled in looking forward to and watching the actual fights themselves.

As for plot, I am interested in all these black suit tournament organizers. Seems like they are the best of the best. Although card guy definitely got stomped on by Jin Mori haha

Anh_Minh · 2020-07-14, 14:37

The logos were in ep 1. I thought it was a nice easter egg.

I'm also not here for much plot, but this episode actually bombarded us with plots/flashbacks. We have rushed flashbacks for at least 4 characters. All of them happened too fast & random and none of them are very interesting or developed. I would've preferred if they used those flashback-time for more fights.

Chosen_Hero · 2020-07-14, 20:19

Personally I'm watching for the fights, I don't expect Shakespearean levels of writing or anything of the sort, as long as people are punching and kicking good I am ok with this.

orion · 2020-07-15, 19:03

Yep, a good action title is my cup of tea.

Wandering Soul · 2020-07-15, 19:41

I was a bit surprised to see both the Crunchyroll and Webtoons logo in the episode, but they were nice Easter eggs.

bakato · 2020-07-15, 20:12

They've earned this.

grecefar · 2020-07-16, 17:47

Two chapters and this is amazing.

Mad Pierrot · 2020-07-17, 20:19

This kinda feels like Kengan Ashura. Still, I have no idea what to say about the pacing of the fights as we didn't see to much of Jin. The animation is still rad.

The plot feels a bit like Mortal Kombat too (although that series was influenced by a bunch of action movies like Enter the Dragon and Trouble in Little China)

HandofFate · 2020-07-18, 19:55

Plot seems pretty shallow, especially with the magical nanomachines that repair any kind of damage making it so they can have the fights be as crazy and damaging as they want with no consequences .
So just tuning it for the 5 or so minutes of fast paced fighting each week.

Stark700 · 2020-07-20, 09:55

Just finished watching episode 3

Seems this show really loves using wrestling moves in the fights. Well, considering it takes place inside a ring, it's not a surprise. Yuu's opponent is such a strange girl.

I guess everyone has a reason to enter this tournament but the story feels pretty lackluster to me so far. At least the character roster is diverse enough with different personalities. Music is still pretty decent on most parts to get me hyped for the fights themselves.

Jin: Take off your glasses

Well, he's got style.
