Should You Be Watching It?

Absolutely! Tower of god may be a Shonen but it is not a generic one. You can feel the mystery Lurking from the Very First Episode. The Main Trio is also very interesting and Fun to watch. if You Prefer Stories with well constructed Characterization and Endless Possibilities of development then Tower of God Definitely Shouldn’t be in Your Miss list.

The Anime has Just Dropped its 6th Episode which means 7 More to Go! The 13 Episode Season might end up adapting the Entire Prologue arc which is insane because the Prologue is whooping 72 Chapters in Total.

The Anime is going crazy in its pace of covering The Manhwa Chapters while also sacrificing a lot of fun moments just for the sake of Progression in Story.
