MAPPA’s highly anticipated adaptation of the smash-hit Korean webcomic The God of High School certainly made its mark on the anime world with its face-melting sakuga moments and non-stop action, but it also had one very noticeable flaw – it tried to compress over 100 webcomic chapters into just 13 anime episodes.
With the Fall 2020 anime season now in full swing, it’s time to take a look back at Summer 2020’s finest moments. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the scenes that made us laugh the most this past season – we’ve got rap battles, slapstick comedy, drinking contests, horribly cast plays, and much more. Let’s get started!
The God of High School is the latest manhwa-turned-anime to grace our screens this year – only the second Korean comic to be adapted into animated form after Tower of God in Spring 2020. We follow taekwondo practitioner Jin Mori and his friends as they fight their way through a nationwide martial arts tournament that gets cranked up a notch when it’s discovered that certain participants possess unique superpowers called “charyeok”.
This high-octane action anime has been brought to life by top-tier studio MAPPA (known for their work on Dororo, Garo: Vanishing Line, Kakegurui, and others) and was heavily promoted on streaming sites as the next big shounen anime. But does The God of High School live up to its lofty expectations? Let’s take a closer look and find out!
This summer season, we have the newest anime adaptation of a Korean webcomic; The God of High School! It’s an over-the-top shounen that starts off as a martial arts tournament and gradually ramps up from there to become a global spectacle with governmental conspiracies, supernatural beings, and Stand-like superpowers called charyeok. So, while we’re all eagerly awaiting the next sakuga-filled episode, here are six shows you can check out that carry the same off-the-wall energy and fiery passion as The God of High School. Let’s jump right in!
The God of High School is the second high-profile anime adaptation of a Korean webcomic, following Spring 2020’s Tower of God. It’s a balls-to-the-wall action thrill ride about a worldwide martial arts tournament and the three young Korean competitors who claw their way to the top. It’s only about halfway through the season so far, but we can already tell that everyone involved in this show is giving everything they have to make it the best shounen tournament anime it can possibly be. Let’s take a closer look!
