The God of High School

For the most part the animation is hands down some of the best hand to hand combat I've ever seen. However there are parts when the majority of the body or whatever is moving will drop out of the frame in order for them to show a close up on something else, leaving you with only the slightest clue as to what is currently happening. But the most unforgivable part is the handling of the narrative. The first half of episode one demonstrated a remarkable ability to expand bare bones writing into original and extensively detailed scenes. However there was also a pattern of condensing the more detailed parts of the original story into barely comprehensible, hyper-condensed scenes with next to no incite into the characters. The exposition as to how the characters arrived at their current states takes the form of single sentences mentioned in passing. This may be a consequence for the short episode count.

I can't put my finger on it, something is just missing with this show...

Also, I can't get past the red noses on everyone.

This anime has an amazing soundtrack, excellent animation, nice though overly done character designs, and good synergy among the three lead characters.

But... The plot is terribly disjointed and a frankenstein of so many other cartoons/animes out there. The entertaining bouts disintegrated into a show of powers half-way through and took away the magic of the semi-traditional martial arts that were on display. If you find yourself watching it and enjoy the parts that it does right in the first half of season one, then stop at episode eight or nine and imagine a fitting conclusion.

Pretty damn good start , the first episode started by showing the protagonist waking up late at the day of tornament ( as every other protagonist ive seen in a shonen anime), the characters seems pretty good , the fight was so short but understandable since since it's just the first episode and they need to introduce us to characters and the overall environement. story : 8/10 :it has a lot ofr potential to be one of the best animes of the year Characters : 7/10 :pretty likable characters but not that much special music and sound effects: 9/10 : both opening and ending aredamn good ( you dont find a dubstep opening everyday ) and soudtracks were good and relevant for the situation . art and animation : 9/10 : it wasnt good to the level of shows like fate series or tales of zestiria , but the art was pretty unique and cool , and we got also a high level animation. Enjoyement :10/10 : i realy fell in love of this anime from the first episode and i think this show might become the star of the season and why not of the year , and im pretty excited about how webtoons will change the anime world since most of new seasonal anime became pretty boring.

I really expected a lot but because they decide to rush things the adaption did dissappoint me.To keep it short they totally blew the adaption in comparison to the webtoon but I think it in conclusion wasn't all that bad.A 7/10 ig.But still it could have been one of the best this year if they did not rush it.The only problem with this series is that it messed up the pace but everything else was good.
