Re: Tower of God anime
The ecology and sociology of the tower are actually pretty cool. My guess would be that shinsoo is some bodily fluid of the floor Guardians.
SpoilerIs there a difference in shinsoo concentration between inner and outer tower? Else, it would not make sense for people from the higher levels just to be regular folks.

Re: Tower of God anime
I have to admit some disappointment; some cuts have to be made to fit the schedule, it seems, but we're losing some of the funniest lines and schemes in episode 7.
SpoilerEndorsi yelling "This is the true power of Jahad!" as she grabs Anaak's foot to drag her off the edge, the elaborate system of pulleys Bam set up so Endorsi couldn't just snatch the food tray from him and the beautiful simplicity of Khun's script; both were pretty dang hilarious in the webtoon. For more plot-relevant stuff, a few more lines dealing with Quant would have helped, I think, spelling out that he's infuriated that the regulars weren't taking him seriously as a Ranker and Shibisu's knowledge of his personality from studying under him wouldn't have been amiss.
Still, personal preference aside, the anime is hitting all the most important points pretty well, I think.Originally Posted by Darths & DroidsOptimization Trophies

Re: Tower of God anime
While I do wish there was more time to savor the moments in Episode 8 and 9 especially, they are closing the gap between episode and chapter progress. I think there's a lot of places to save time in the upcoming chapters too. Episode 10 might cover plot points from the next 9 chapters. There's just a big gap where only a few things stand out in my memory, and that usually marks other material that's likely to be dropped to keep up the pace.
Episode specific stuff: I think they could have introduced the 10 houses stuff earlier, and explained the Position Test better/earlier than they have/do, and on the positive side, the major conflict in episode 9 still works pretty smoothly without explicitly calling the starting area off-limits to the Ranker "it".

Re: Tower of God anime
Spoiler: Ep9 and me being pointlessly negativeLines I miss from the webtoon:
"Let's fight. Just us bad guys..."
"If we reach the top after stepping over all our friends...then what remains for us at the top?"
"When people lose the things they cherish, they lose their reason to live."
I don't like the adaptation's choice to have Leroro acting like this is an emergency. Totally doesn't fit the ethos of the floor of test. How many bodies did the test administrators have them climb over to get here already? Even though Leroro wants the tests to be fair while Yu Hansung has other priorities, nobody's expressed any particular desire to protect the regulars' lives before now.Spoiler: Webtoon content(Quant is another matter, since his motives are disgust with the betrayers and a desire to get one over on Khun.)
On the other hand, I don't mind dropping the safety zone contrivance. Quant's actions aren't as consistent as in the webtoon, but as long as I assume he's keeping his administrative role in mind and testing Bam, I can accept it enough to move on.
