Tower of God (anime)

Tower of God (korean 신의 탑, Sin-ui Tap or Japanese 神之塔, Kami no Tō) is the anime adaptation of the Manhwa of the same name, created by the Korean artist SIU that takes place as a Talse Uzer Story. The series is produced by Telecom Animation Film, with Aniplex subsidiary Rialto Entertainment responsible for Japanese production, and Sola Entertainment provided production management. The anime series will premiere on April 1, 2020 on Crunchyroll as a co-production under its "Crunchyroll Originals" title.

Plot
Reach the top, and everything will be yours. At the top of the tower exists everything in this world, and all of it can be yours. You can become a god.

This is the story of the beginning and the end of Rachel, the girl who climbed the tower so she could see the stars, and Bam, the boy who needed nothing but her. The anime starts with Bam chasing Rachel. He manages to reach her, but she enters the tower before him. In the tower, he is approached by Headon, who calls himself the caretaker of the tower. Headon tells Bam that he can see Rachel if he climbs the tower, but he must first take the test; break the ball guarded by the white steel eel. As Bam approaches the cave, he is stopped by Yuri, one of the Princesses of Jahad. Her navigator, Evan, gives him a pocket, which lets him understand what they are saying. Yuri confronts Bam, revealing that he is an Irregular, though he seems weaker than all the other Irregulars that have passed entered the tower. Headon tells Yuri that he won't tell the king about her involvement here, but only if she lets Bam take the test using her Black March, one of the needles of the Thirteen Month series. She agrees, and gives Bam the Black March.

Bam approaches the cage and gets swallowed by the white steel eel. Yuri tries to save him, but Evan stops her, telling her that it is the path he must take to pass the test. Bam defeats the eel by stabbing it inside its mouth. However, the ball does not break when he stabs it. He continues to try, but his attempts awake the eel. Evan tells him to ask the Black March for power, though she has never given power to Yuri, as it is rumored that the Black March has a liking towards men. The Black March gives him the power to break the ball, and Bam is taken up the tower. Yuri and Evan follow him to get back the Black March.

Bam wakes up in the next test, where they have to reduce the number of regulars from 400 to 200. Bam is confronted by a regular, who gets shot by arrows. He escapes. Rak, another regular, senses power from two different weapons, but ends up chasing Bam, who is considering attacking another regular. Before he does so, he is stopped by Khun, who asks if he should be pointing his weapon at Rak behind him, instead.

Comments by Takashi Sano (Director)
 * The original LINE Manga is very interesting and includes art, and we did our best to preserve the feel of the original. Due to the complicated plot, it was difficult to consolidate all the attractive episodes into the TV series, but thanks to the efforts of writer Yoshida-san, I believe we were able to extract the essence of the original work.
