There’s just something that’s so interesting about this show, despite the basic love story it’s built on. I don’t know if it’s the intriguing and mystical shinsu elements that are so different from anime I’ve seen before or if it’s the wild characters that make up the Tower climbers. Either way, Tower of God does a great job of balancing the battle anime aspects it was marketed as, with unexpected twists that allow it to stand out from the competition. “The girl wanted to see the stars. The boy wanted to be with her. What do you want in exchange for everything? Only those who have the power to survive will get it at the top of the tower.” Off the rip I’m astonished my boy Bam aint ever known anyone but the girl who leaves him within seconds of the show starting! Of course Bam follows Rachel into the tower, as all protagonists do, and discovers he’s entered a world he wasn’t ready for. While Bam probably hates it, I love the unknown in Tower of God.

Not knowing what sort of test Bam was going to be given by Headon has me glued. Not knowing how he was going to defeat the White Armored Eel had me assuming this was an Attack on Titan type anime where characters get murked left and right. I hated not knowing what shinsu was but loved ever…
