I think the first episode of GoHS is better but I'm still confused on why they just threw us in with negligible introduction to the characters.

Not sure how many episodes are going but I'm guessing they're going to try to get to the truth about Mori given how it started at a ludicrous pace already

Yeah I finally just watched GoHS and it does kick the poo poo out of ToG. I wonder why the animation discrepancy is so much? I still like ToG as one of my more favorite reads of any comics right now but yeah the ToG anime seems like its gonna be fun as hell.

I love ToG a lot but action isn't a super strong suit of it compared to GoHS so if I had a budget to make the two into anime I'd probably give more of it to GoHS

What else here do you think I might like?

Did you do Hardcore Leveling Warrior and God of High School?

I quite recommend the GoHS anime on Crunchyroll as well, they clearly saved animation budget on ToG so they could use it here which works out since ToG is a lot more personal drama and less action. It's going a little fast but also the series is crazy so that kinda works out better

The two shows aren't even made by the same studio. It's more that GoHS was lucky enough to go to a director who, for whatever reason, absolutely worked his rear end off to make it look as good as possible. For example, he storyboarded almost every episode himself.

Oh I kind of assumed that being CR Originals then the funding was provided by CR but I could be wrong on that

I am still reading solo leveling because I'm curious about the system which it is addressing now at least to some level.


I think Hardcore Leveling Warrior is my favorite of the "governed by rules of a game" series though, and it doesn't really have the nationalism poo poo. It just requires me to accept that this video game is somehow critically important to the world economy or something which, while weird, sure whatever I can deal with it.

eleceed is pretty great but the school arc pulls in some of my least favorite xianxia tropes [spoilers for school arc]

the sects build a school for training kids/newbies, separated into elites/commoner courses, and the headmaster of the school explicitly doesn't want any of the commoners to receive any real training, to the point of telling the teachers to stop training them. then they organize a "fight" to have an excuse to beat the poo poo out of the commoner students. if the organization is so hostile to the commoners at the highest levels why even have a course for them in the first place? if they want to teach commoners why allow the headmaster to be a guy who actively tries to stop them from being educated at all? especially since the school is brand new, it's not like its a new and controversial edition to an old school. or why would they not just have two separate schools?

then later in the arc one of the sect heads barges in and goes "i'm killing this kid. problem?" and everyone just lets him. again, why even make a commoner course if they don't even care if they're publicly murdered for no reason? if this is such a might-makes-right kill-or-be-killed society that doesn't give a poo poo about commoners and weaklings, why would they even build a school that allows them to attend and then fail to protect or teach them?


by comparison, a returner's magic should be special has a similar school with a commoner/elite divide, but there it ties into the narrative of a society that recently experienced a massive failed commoner uprising, so the aristocracy both hates and fears the commoners. the division and discrimination is a reflection of a fractured, changing society. in eleceed they built a brand new school to pick on people.

The point in that was to make all the commoners feel inferior, which is why they got so angry when it got turned around on them

So after waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting I've finally given up on waiting for the third season of "2nd coming of Gluttony" and I was going to read the novel.

Where's a good site to read it that doesn't do the stupid "You must spend coins to unlock this chapter" thing?

the whole thing is either free on amazon kindle unlimited if you have that/free trial otherwise it's 4.99 for each book (there are 10 books, 9 story 1 of side stories)

I have yet to read a single cultivator series but if that's an example of the problems with cultivators, then I'll take a bad one of those over a bad gate (nationalism and revenge fantasies) or bad isekai series (child brides and slavery).

i mean you can get those in cultivators too, but you also get complicated names for power levels that are honestly kind of endearing in a goofy way

Okay I caught up with the unofficial Eleceed stuff and I guess I'll admit I was wrong. One singular bad guy was not solved by Kayden releasing his power limits and slowing his recovery. Instead someone else showed up to solve the problem for the MC.

It's getting a little annoying. Every arc has the exact same layout just with escalation. MC shows off they are so cool -> woah everyone is amazed -> worse guy shows up, nearly kills MC -> mentor shows up and saves him -> MC promises to get stronger and train harder -> repeat.

Luckily the actual characters (besides the MC who is just Generically Nice Guy mixed with Fight Addict) are really good and the cats are adorable.

yeah it honestly reads like what they'd kind of intended with noblesse when it seemed like the teenagers were going to turn out to be cool and strong before that got benched

i like that there's always the intermission where the kids are being teenagers hanging out and hollering at each other while the cats are smug. its good imo

Tell me more about this one.

Jiwoo Seo is a special boy who has the special power of super speed that he has kept secret to the point that he has no friends. One day while out taking care of the neighborhood cats, because he is a sweet cinnamon roll who takes care of cats, he sees a fat cat and helps it. That cat turns out to be Kayden Break, a very powerful guy who is taking the form of a cat after getting badly injured in a fight. He starts teaching Jiwoo and things just kind of escalate into fights from there and Jiwoo picks up a collection of friends and eventually two more dads to train him.

The writer of Noblesse and the artist from Girls of the Wilds.
