The God of High School

This could have been such an amazing show, but instead of loving it i just ended up liking it thats all. Starting of with the positives is the animation, really well animated and choreographed fight scenes for the majority. MAPPA is killing it. Well produced soundtrack, something which i can see myself listening to over and over. Where it lacked is the same where everyone seems to be complaining. The Narrative. Its like a good chunk of it was left out. Things happen in a fly and escalate from 1 to 100 like we are all buckled up but we are not so we end up crashing with the plot development wondering what and why and how it happened. And most of the missing part is exposited in a flash like we are supposed to go with it. Because of which character development also suffers. I dont think i was able to connect with anyone of the character, everything was in passing. A 25 episode season could have brought out so much depth and fleshed out the characters so much which was felt missing from the show. I wasnt wowed when i should have been but just ended up finding it cool.

Nonetheless they did try to achieve as much as they could in the limited episodes they had so its not all bad. You will be impressed by the animation, fight scenes and will be entertained for a while but you wont stop thinking about how good this all could have been. 6.5/10

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.

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.

God of highschool is an anime based on the webtoon who goes by the same tittle, the story is about a teenager called Jin mori who loves fighting strong people. Jin mori is trying to find his grandfather who disapeared with the help of his two friend Daewi Han and Mira yoo who he met at a tournament

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.
