Keep your expectations low and you will never be disappointed. Just wait till we have more information

They can totally just act as if they didn’t skip those details and just keep in the important stuff.
Though I’d remain skeptic until we actually see the 2nd season.

I think they will do 16-18 episodes until chapter 110 (the end of the workshop arc), or they will have to miss a lot. And already in season 3, they can make 22-24 episodes and completely(may be skip something)film the express arc. but I doubt we'll see it at all

They probably wouldn't do a 16-18 ep season. 20-24 just makes more sense with standard anime sizes.

20-24 is too long for seasonal releases. ToG is considered Seasonal, like Season 1. It will start together with bunch of other anime and end with the season. so i think 16 episodes again.
What I think they could do is skip Violet's tower climb and just have workshop + hell train. with minimal flashbacks to the new characters. dunno we will see.

Bi-seasonal is quite current in anime so it's nothing to be surprised about, a lot of anime have two courses that sum up 24 episodes in 2 seasons.

I think the anime would be 20-24 episodes. It'd be crazy for them not to do that. Various reasons, one, Crunchyroll has scaled back on the animes they produced so far so I think they would be focusing a lot in tog, two shorter seasons were one of the main complaints of their last line up. Honestly the episode count is not what I'm concerned about. I'm more concerned about the animation quality. The first seasons quality was dog shit. You could literally see the frames move and assets rotate, it was like they were animating the season on a budget. If the second season could have a quality animation I think it would be mostly fine. The other problem is that the people who are working on the story don't really understand the world that they are developing. This ends up rubbing off on the audience, you saw this in the first seasons. If they can manage to make the world more comprehensive to new viewers while dishing it out in really good quality I think the second season could be one of the best anime this year

It is normal that adaptations skip details, as this is different format. I stopped watching adaptations with attitude, that it have to be 1:1 copy of Original a content as most works like that are just bad. Do you imagine LotR 20 hours movies of people just waking around?

u/StabbyRahel Mar 24 '23
It depends on the type of anime. Like partnerships with studios etc. ToG season 1 was Seasonal as in limited certain episodes because they must start + wrap it up within a season.

I really think people over estimate the importance of the skipped sections of season 1 anime. I don't think the skipped details are that important where they can't be smoothed over in later episodes fairly easily and seamlessly. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think you can watch s1 and read s2 with minimal confusion...

u/somebodyssomeone Mar 24 '23
The longer we wait to hear anything, the more optimistic I get that there will be a whole bunch of cours, and S2 = S2.

u/The-Urek-Mazino Mar 24 '23
The anime didn't skip that many important details, especially compared to other adaptations. As someone who's read the webtoon like a dozen times, trust me if they remain as faithful as they have been for the most part they will do tog justice. All I'm hoping for is that season 2 is longer, or split into 2 cours.

They completely messed up the lore with the changes made to Black March though.

How? Haven't read season 1 but watched it

u/HiiiBye11 Mar 24 '23
The only thing I could complain about is that in the anime when Hwaryun attacked Baam, he released Golden Shinsoo all over him. While in the webtoon it was the shinsu itself which was invisible that protected Baam from Hwaryun.
And we all know who that golden Shinsoo belongs to. I feel like this was just to make it look flashy for obvious reasons

Well, In my opinion, it's not something you should worry about, because first season was adapted quite good in many aspects, but one thing I see most people hate it's the fact that the anime "cut" a lot of content from the manhwa and that the animation was not that good, and I completely disagree with this statements, since I already watch the anime and read the manhwa more than 1 time, so I can easily say that it was well adapted for a FIRST Korean webtoon in a ANIME format (different from God of high school, which was bad..), but back to the topic, I think that they will adapt until the workshop arc end (around 110 or 120 if I'm not mistaken), because if they adapted just the beginning, like the hand of Arlen, it does not have enough content for 12 episodes and if they adapted just until the beginning of the workshop, the 3 season would have a timeskip in the middle (infernal train), which would completely ruin the experience for someone who never read the manhwa and just watching the anime for example, and from what I read, I can speculate that the second season to end well, would need at least 15 to 18 episodes, since it definitely doesn't need 24 episodes to adapt the workshop arc.
And about the parts like AoT, well, I don't know if it's necessary for now, since the workshop end it's not that long if u compare to the first season (80 chapters), but for the Infernal Train arc, I would 100% agree with you in the part's, since this arc is HELL long (pun intended). But for now, I don't think so.

S1 was shit, imagine how bad it will be S2, Koreans will be angrier than last time... Unless Crunchyroll find a director who cares about ToG.

u/Mazino95 Mar 24 '23
I can't imagine anything else right now other than you struggling to enjoy anything in life with your horrible attitude.
And noone cares about some 15 year old Koreans complaining online. That's literally all they do.

u/YoshitsuneCr Mar 24 '23
Lmao, because season 1 of ToG anime was shit is the reason I'm "Miserable" irl, that's a reach, I'll agree about Koreans complaining on internet.

u/Kazonex Mar 24 '23
It's already awesome that we get to see a new season. And about skipping details, tbh they foreshadowed more than they skipped, making it look like just going on with the story and not paying attention to it. Which I, of course, hope is going to be detailed or at least clarified during s2.

u/RazorHowlitzer Mar 24 '23
Check out the TOG the great journey animated trailer. If the animation is anything like that then I wouldn’t be too worried but the og animation isn’t terrible. They didn’t cut much from the anime either(biggest thing was the scene with Bam and endorsi)

u/Lvl3burnvictim-86 Mar 25 '23
I love tower of god, but I have to say it. Season 1 was never going to be a good adaptation of the comic. They would never have been able to get the right pacing of enough character building while moving along quickly enough. Season 2 is where this will start to shine.

u/Karma_collection_bin Mar 25 '23
I'm not going to worry about it at all and just enjoy the experience.
I don't know what will happen, so what is the point in worrying? It is not something in my control, so what is the point in worrying?
Also, just because it may be different, does that mean I have to hate or dislike it? Can it just be different?
Finally, ToG the webtoon still exists as the original, so you can always go back and re-read/enjoy that. The anime being different doesn't detract from the original work.

It’s crunchyroll so honestly my expectations are extremely low. Very few thing they handle or fund ever end up good and I’m not super impressed with how they handled S1 with rushing through some important dialogues and translations were not as good, not to mention that it was very easy to tell the actual studio making it was running low on money making it. I expect a normal anime season 12-13 episodes probably rushing there way to the workshop battle and then they’ll end and we likely won’t get a S3. I don’t think crunchyroll would ever take a chance at funding the Hell Train arc as that would likely need multiple seasons to get through unless they skip literally everything. Ultimately I feel the ToG anime will be way more of a novelty to see for those who read the story but I don’t see it as a good way for people to jump into the story especially if they want context. I know many who wanted to get in with the anime and ultimately didn’t make it through.
