![]() Tower of God is not an anime that lavishes attention on wonderfully illustrated backgrounds or complicated character drawings.Ĭharacters use few colours, are simply dressed, and the more inhuman ones tend towards simpler shapes and forms.

I wanted Bam just to agree to the challenges, pass the audition and get climbing. Bam’s innocence and naivety in the way of the Tower are as strong as our own. Face incredible danger? Likely die?

The anime’s first challenge is making us care. There’s a hierarchy of power, too, which it looks he’ll need to confront as well. It seems Bam will have to face and defeat challenges to climb the Tower. Bam finds himself auditioning for the right to take part. What we quickly learn is that climbing the Tower is something of a process, a ritual or ceremony that’s carefully managed. Bam, her friend, wants to go after her and so finds himself in the Tower as well. ![]() ![]() There’s a magical Tower, Rachel wants to climb to the top so she can see the stars. The concept is straight forward, and the anime doesn’t hang around in getting started. ![]()
