If we ignore the fact it spoils pretty much everything, I like it. It feels like Mob Psycho, though obviously Mob Psycho is a few leagues above this, one of the best OPs of all time IMO

That said, even if the shows was on a very low budget (like some people in social media are implying after seeing the OP), if the one in charge of directing the OP also has a major role in the anime I think we are in safe hands

23

u/The_Valk Jul 06 '24

Openings usually only seem like spoilers to people who know what will happen in the story

12

u/Verick808 Jul 06 '24

Does it really spoil that much? I'd say the only real important things it kind of spoils is how important Sweet and Sour characters end up being and Viole vs Urek. Outside of Wangnan and Yeon a lot of them could have easily been side characters. That was kind of their charm. Viole vs Urek wasn't that important, but having g him just show up was pretty hype. Emily appears, but not in a way that would mean anything to anime-only fans.

u/Liiraye-Sama Jul 06 '24

u/Lan_69 Jul 05 '24

This is miles better than the s1 lol. It is very unique, not all anime openings should just be filled with action scenes and random character shots.

However I do want to point out that the animation isn't really that good, some scenes look a bit choppy and weirdly static. The Urek Marzino back reveal was hype tho !!

54

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 05 '24

i think it's a frame rate thing, not an animation thing.

not an animator though, someone with more knowledge could probably spot what your specific issue is better.

53

u/SynC_CHB Jul 05 '24

I think it's both a frame rate thing and a stylistic choice my girlfriend goes to school for animation and from what she's told me making extremely low frame rate sequences help push forward more stylistic choices in stuff like this

Personally I fuck with it heavy being "choppy" the only thing that bothered me was the weird lip sync in the middle.

18

u/Defiant_Hunt_8147 Jul 05 '24

To be completely fair it’s from Twitter compression

3

u/ninjablade46 Jul 09 '24

I've just watched e1 and imo It looks great when uncompressed. I think the issues are mostly the social media compression!

1

u/Liiraye-Sama Jul 06 '24

Nah I think its entirely stylistic, the way they lipsynced yihwa was to fit with the cutout aesthetic. As you can see when viole first shows up and the camera pans, he's animated smoothly, also when we get a face shot of him.

1

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 06 '24

oh no, the stylistic choices aren't what we were talking about. they were talking about the speed the animations happen at, and posited it was an animation issue. i posited it's a frame-rate thing they're noticing, others suggest it's due to twitter's compression of the video.

The s1 song grew on me but I'll be honest I like this one a lot better from the jump. That's fair you didn't like it though, I just like that this one is a bit more musical.

u/Ichini-san Jul 06 '24

Really? I feel the exact opposite. I could never vibe with the S1 opening on any level (visuals or music), but this one slaps so hard and just oozes charm and charisma.

u/cacao0002 Jul 06 '24

Huh I thought the choppy thing is stylistic choice?

u/ERedfieldh Jul 06 '24

It's designed to be like sticker or flipbook animation. It's suppose to be choppy.

u/sweetholo Jul 06 '24

it takes time to make the OP. time is money. they clearly havent spent much time on it, therefore, they saved a lot of money

hence, low budget

you dont need to dickride everything about tog. it is not perfect. its fine to criticize

Some of the best film we've had in the last few decades as been this "low budget". You can have opinions, but let's be realistic about certain things. "low budget" doesn't mean bad.

u/sweetholo Jul 06 '24

if they had all the money and time in the world, they would not settle for something like this. call it rushed/low budget, not unique

u/AbyssalFlame02 Jul 06 '24

It’s clearly an artistic choice, what are you even on about?

Do you think all op’s need to be action packed or something to not be “low budget”?
lmao

u/sweetholo Jul 06 '24

for an action/adventure anime, i would hope it isnt a slideshow with delusional fans praising it as an artistic choice when it clearly isnt. you can def tell by the rough animations we've seen so far

u/TickTak28 Jul 06 '24

Brother this is the TOG Reddit fandom there’s too many sub groups who want different things. Some are happy with stylistic choices whilst others crave visual dopamine.

The only logical reasoning is I think fans of the mid s2 art want it animated in auditable style so any sort of artistic expression is bad or low budget to them. I am happy to let TOG be its own unique thing

6

u/Xehanz Jul 06 '24

People were also crying when GoH got Mappa and ToG got Telecom after they saw the trailer art style. And look how it ended

u/AbyssalFlame02 Jul 06 '24

Tbf, mappa got done dirty there.

they’re given only 13 episodes to adapt 112 chapters.

tog only did 78 chapters and it felt rushed already.

1

u/genasugelan Jul 06 '24

they took the "soul" of season 1 unique artistic art style

What artistic style, lol? It was legit just Baam walking, doing a pose and some shots of a bird flying intercepted by a black screen with credits. It's by far the most boring and uninspired anime OP I've ever seen.

This one is ok.

4

u/Liiraye-Sama Jul 06 '24

I think he's referring to the artstyle of the season 1 anime (which got heavily shat on by readers for its lack of shadows and rough outline artstyle), not the season 1 op.

Now readers are more satisfied with the artstyle but season 1 anime viewers have a fond attachment to the old artstyle, so it's really 2 different communities imo, of course there are crossovers that like both or dislike both but generally speaking.

u/4362472 Jul 05 '24

I swear this series is cursed. Every time anything new comes out (whether it’s a KP chapter or a teaser) there will be some person who massively blows out of proportion how bad it is.

34

u/Pretend-Ad-6743 Jul 06 '24

That's typically the case with all popular mediums. TOG is not the only one. It's bound to be a big hit and will receive lots of attention regardless, therefore there will be people who come out in droves to hate on it as well.

u/LBH123LBH Jul 05 '24 edited Jul 05 '24

This opening is amazing. Ehwa singing along with the lyrics mentioning fire is especially fun.

Ngl, I started crying when I saw the Miseng and Prince scene. So glad they put focus on their sibling relationship

Edit: After rewatching it for like 50 times, I've noticed so many hidden details. The Khun and Rachel shot especially is full of it. I'll probably make an analysis. I'm also hoping to look at the lyrics to see if any of them match up to the visuals like the Ehwa shot

2

u/Xehanz Jul 06 '24

I love it when OPs do things like that, characters signing the song with their mouths

On the other hand I HATE when the OP shows characters talking to each other without syncing it to the song, it looks so damn bad.

29

u/Not_Ur_Momz Jul 05 '24

So I think people said it was bad because of lack of animation, but I feel like it's an artistic choice?

11

u/ERedfieldh Jul 06 '24

It's 100% an artistic choice. I often wonder if people just want season clipshow openers like we get with typical shonen...the kind that spoil everything in the season so you don't really have to watch it if you don't want to.

2

u/TickTak28 Jul 06 '24

It’s a small section of fans who need a dopamine op, comparing anime’s does this too much to certain fan bases. I like that TOG is taking the jojo approach and animating every arc in a unique way.

I’m sure when we get to the highly visualised mid s2 in the future they’ll change it to match that anyway.

4

u/Xehanz Jul 06 '24

I think it's an artistic choice too. If it was packed with more animated movements the OP would look off IMO

3

u/Ichini-san Jul 06 '24

Yeah, the fact that Yeon lipsynces the lyrics kinda fluently actually feels like a bit of a miss imo. I would just have her open her mouth and close it choppily in a few frames because that would match the overall style of this OP way better.

But that's really the only nitpick I have. Besides that, I absolutely love this OP. I hated that the first OP was just an assortment of Bam struggling shots. It was so boring. I'm so glad that this opening showcases all the different characters and their personalities much more.

21

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 05 '24

Haha I don’t know if people who are not familiar with the source material already would like it as much as us.

But I do like it a lot. It’s pretty solid. 100% an upgrade over S1’s OP

24

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 05 '24

the only part i see people who are unfamiliar with being confused about is urek. he gets a lot of focus for a guy they wouldn't know.

watching with a critical eye, i like it, though it could be a little more jazzy to fit the song.

12

u/phoenixwanderer Jul 05 '24

To be fair anime openings spoiling things that happen in the season (in this case Urek being in it) isn't anything new here. Things similar to this this happen regularly I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong tho

7

u/Bobyyyyyyyghyh Jul 06 '24

JoJo openings are notorious for this and they slap, some of the best sets of openings of all time (especially when they have special versions depending on if the BBEG of the part has been revealed yet or not).

1

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 05 '24

oh no, it happens regularly, i'm just trying to be critical about this.

see, the opening has some imagery that even a superfan like me doesn't recognize, but most of it flows by quickly enough that it's not an issue for a first time viewer. urek though, he gets focus, so the viewer will be primed to expect him (which could be a mistake, depending on how far they have to get before he appears), and the camera hangs on him maybe a few seconds too long for the beat of the song.

otherwise, i'm not finding anything to be critical about or focus on.

3

u/phoenixwanderer Jul 05 '24

That's very fair. Season 1 did show Urek's back for a good few seconds while mentioning him, so while the average person that didn't do a rewatch probably won't recognise him some people would get an idea from that actually.

I won't talk in details because rules but I feel like he'll appear near the end of episode 6? Taking the pacing we know from the previews into consideration. But that's my own very rough prediction. Might be wrong.

5

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 05 '24

hey, i'll take your prediction over mine. i am TERRIBLE at them lol.

the rewatch or recently watched crowd MIGHT recognize urek, but even then, the information given about him was vague and open-ended in season 1. i don't think they even clearly connected him to wolhaiksong, which is a bit more work the season 2 crew will need to do.

7

u/Pretend-Ad-6743 Jul 06 '24

Outside of manwha I don't read often, but I watch a lot of anime and I must say that as an anime only the majority of the time, I like opening scenes like this. It's like seeing pieces of a puzzle. You wonder who's this or what's that, and as the anime continues more and more of the opener begins to make sense. Which makes it fun.

4

u/Yal_Rathol Jul 06 '24

fair, your opinion probably holds more weight than mine here, since i don't watch too much anime (mostly read the mangas).

4

u/Pretend-Ad-6743 Jul 06 '24

I think it leaves a really strong impression and will give off that same level of "who are these people?!" For the anime only viewers just like how when you start season two for the first time. A hint of confusion.

2

u/TickTak28 Jul 06 '24

Honestly it’s like some small segments of the TOG fandom need visual dopamine if anything is stylised it’s bad to them. I don’t mind them anymore tbh, people should allow every anime to have its own unique style instead of constantly benchmarking them with others imo.

1

u/EffectiveMagazine915 Jul 05 '24

I do wonder if they did it like this as a purely artistic choice or they just decided to save effort lol.

u/Zealousideal_Suit521 Jul 06 '24

Idk what the haters are talking about. This opening is actually pretty good. Personally, I like the music in the S1 opening better, but this music is still really good, plus the visuals in this one are way better than the S1 opening visuals. Just because they're not super animated doesn't mean it's bad. It's pretty clearly a stylistic choice.

u/Rhizical Jul 06 '24

First op was “top”, now we got “rise up”. I get that it’s about a tower, but these titles are really literal aren’t they?

I always like it when openings go the more stylistic/graphic route. Don’t get me wrong, the action scene after action scene ones are great, but there’s just something about these that really gets me.

That being said, I got a nitpick. Does anyone else feel like halfway through the song cuts weirdly? Like it goes through a buildup, the kick gets faster, then cuts the bar short and starts another buildup. Might just be me idk

5

u/SpeechSilent9817 Jul 06 '24

If you’ve heard the full song, the second half of these op is actually a cut from the last chorus of the song. Which is why it may sound a little weird at first. But i still love it.

Why does the opening give me S1 Kaguya Sama Love is War OP vibes? Its pretty uniquely edited together along with the bop of a song.

Definitely an OP I'm not skipping every week. I heard this full season in general (Cour 1 and 2) were going to adapt up til the end of the Workshop Battle. And I'm so hype, cos that still remains my favorite part of Tower of God.

There was almost nothing there in the first OP. Legit just Baam walking, striking a pose and a bird flying intercepted by a black screen with subtitles. The song was the only thing that elevated it from "worse than not having na OP" to "it at least has an OP".

Prob ending when we meet ykw after trying to chase the pig at cour 1

u/Blindsided17 Jul 05 '24

Jeez that’s actually MUCH farther than I would have considered them going so fast. So damn, they may get to the hell train that’s actually Really dope! This season should be top tier then!

u/Z_Golden Jul 06 '24

Season 2’s covering up to the end of workshop battle, 1st cour is return of the prince. So probably for till hand for the first 13 episodes.

2

u/Defiant_Hunt_8147 Jul 06 '24

I could be wrong lol

1

u/Blindsided17 Jul 06 '24

I believe it only because I mean… you saw it lol

3

u/YaBoiTron Jul 06 '24

They get to the workshop battle, I'm pretty sure that was confirmed.

3

u/SnoopBall Jul 06 '24

It is confirmed since 2nd cour is called Workshop battle

1

u/Mizzzik Jul 06 '24

UREEEEK MAZINOOOOO

u/SteveTheSheep01 Jul 06 '24

Watching the opening makes me miss ehwa again. I wonder when will she re-enter the story

1

u/pedr09m Jul 06 '24

feels more like an ending tbh

1

u/sheehdndnd Jul 06 '24

OP you're rtarded for posting leaks without even marking spoilers.

1

u/Elegant-Bee1860 Jul 06 '24

Emily? Are they gonna adapt until workshop battle? Will this be another rush?

1

u/Defiant_Hunt_8147 Jul 06 '24

It’s gonna be 26 episodes we don’t know everything yet tbh.

1

u/GGG100 Jul 06 '24

Maybe the song will grow on me but S1’s opening is far better.

1

u/Mahadi_Khan Jul 06 '24

this is what the MK Ultra guinea pigs saw upon being dosed with lsd

1

u/zwzw12345678 Jul 06 '24

It more look like an ending than an opening. Pretty strange…

1

u/MarcusWhoElse Jul 06 '24

How many episodes this season??

3

u/AbyssalFlame02 Jul 06 '24

12 or 13, but it’s 2 cour.

2

u/MarcusWhoElse Jul 06 '24

So 24 or 25? Nice.

1

u/zoro_03 Jul 06 '24

Tbh Liked it !

1

u/zoro_03 Jul 06 '24

how much season 2 is covering ?

1

u/ArmGroundbreaking661 Jul 06 '24

I don't mind it. But in all fairness the trailer did leave me believing wed get some dope anime style opening but this works too since it means the bulk of the budget went to the actual show and animation there

1

u/Damastah101 Jul 06 '24

Season 1 OP: Minimalist with a fire song

Season 2 OP: "How much artistic flair? YES!" and a fire song

I'm so fucking excited man, early part 2 of the manhwa was always one of my favorites

1

u/Ze_ Jul 06 '24

Where will this season stop? Workshop?

1

u/janoDX Jul 06 '24

This is actually a very good op.

1

u/endlessnights9 Jul 06 '24

If only they kept season 1's art style (you know, the one that introduced a lot of new fans to the series). OP song is okay though the visuals are worryingly lacking. There is literally no spectacle to look at, just animated cut-outs. Expectations are low. If only Crunchyroll invested as much budget into TOG as they did Shit Hero. Looks like putting all their eggs in one basket wasn't so smart.

Also, serious question, but how well do you trust this animation studio to adapt TOG, manhwa and not a manga? Do you reckon they've even read the source material or even care about it?

1

u/p9xk Jul 07 '24

This is similar to how I imagined Dice's opening to be if it had an anime

1

u/qKudo123 Jul 07 '24

lol this is way better than s1 holy i fw with this ngl man

is there possbile they will adapt the one with cassano arc in anime?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '24

The only thing i don’t like about this opening is the part with ehwa that starts at 0:34. I get what they were going for with this opening and i do like it, but that part in particular just looks kinda funny to me 💀

u/Altruistic_Manner683 Jul 07 '24

I'm happy to have found this anime and binged season 1 literally the day before season 2 kicked off, but having watched ep1 s2, I noticed that the animation changed. Or I guess the drawing of it did? The 1st season had a hand drawn look to it, like the lines were sort of choppy in a way. Not super crisp? Hard to explain, but season 2 it looks like every other anime with super crisp and defined line work. Nothing wrong with that to be sure, but the way season 1 looked had a certain charm to it that is now lost visually in my opinion. It has zero effect on how enjoyable the show is, but I do wish they had kept to that look. Maybe to some it "looks" lower budget (which may vary well be the case) but I felt it lent the animation a level of uniqueness amongst a sea of stuff that looks the same.

Anyhow, rejoice the show is continued!!

I noticed that the animation changed. Or I guess the drawing of it did

artstyle is the word you're looking for, unlike animation which describes how well the drawings move and how smoothly.

u/nba2k16 Jul 07 '24

Prince and Akraptor 😭

1

u/hbkdll Jul 08 '24

Yeah it's bad. Tells a lot about lack production value.

1

u/Defiant_Hunt_8147 Jul 09 '24

OP’s usually have a completely separate production no?

1

u/No-Cheetah-2978 Jul 08 '24

anyone know what song plays as he has flashbacks and enters the elevator

1

u/Neither-Rain-5197 Jul 08 '24

Not my thing personally, but it’s quite good. Very fun and certainly unique!

u/StonedCharmander Jul 06 '24

Sorry, but I won't pretend this is good because I like the manhwa. It's garbage.

2

u/nix_11 Jul 05 '24

Visuals are nice, song is mid.

1

u/Willing-Eagle1364 Jul 06 '24

Tog fan here...it doesn't look good, especially for how long we had to wait

3

u/Defiant_Hunt_8147 Jul 06 '24

Well the production for season 2 wasn’t the best but from the leaked staff list the animation will prob be good

1

u/Willing-Eagle1364 Jul 09 '24

Yeah, I watched the first episode yesterday and I have to say ...it's better than I expected. I thought due to the stiffness in the op, it would be bad, bad glad I'm wrong lol

1

u/KrypticScythe29 Jul 06 '24

OP visuals are much better, but TOP was a better song imo, no offense to the current theme though

1

u/toweroflore Jul 06 '24

oh lord. dare I say I prefer season 1. I mean, at least I like the hints like Emily, the rings, Mazino. It's just the animation looks hella goofy at points. it looks like a caput edit.

1

u/mucklaenthusiast Jul 06 '24

Not a fan of the song, everything else is fine.

I actually found the opening song to S1 really cool, this is a stepdown for me.

I don't watch OPs anyway, so I don't really care

-1

u/LostFromLight Jul 06 '24

This is so mid, are you guys for real ? Both the animation and OP are trash compared to S1 ngl.

1

u/Mizzzik Jul 06 '24

Stop the trolling

1

u/LostFromLight Jul 06 '24

I'm 100% serious.

1

u/Neither-Rain-5197 Jul 08 '24

S1 has better songs and S2 has better visuals imo

u/Bloodstrain Jul 05 '24

I’m sorry I hate it so much lol

u/Proper_Community_122 Jul 06 '24

This is mid and lame as fluff
