Crunchyrollâs original animation slate is giving us some interesting-sounding new series, but its recently debuted opener of the line, Tower of God, already has us even more intrigued to see whatâs to come. You can get a brief taste of what makes this battle-packed fantasy adventure so appealing in this clipâwhich, uh, whips. Literally!
Based on the Webtoon of the same name written and drawn by Lee Jong-hui, Tower of God follows Bam, a young man whoâs spent his life in the shadow of a mysterious tower. But when his closest friend vanishes into it seemingly never to return, Bam finds himself venturing inside tooâonly to discover the construct is floor after floor of gruelling challenges he must overcome if heâs ever to find his friend again.
In the clip from this weekâs fourth episode, Bam and his new allies Khun and Rak look on into one of these bonus challenges: the Crown game. Take the throne, win the game. Easy, right? Well, not if its current owner Anaakâand her magical swordâhas anything to say about it.
You know what they say: when you play the Game of Thrones, you bring an ever-changing sword that can transform into anything you want or you die, there is no middle ground. Thatâs absolutely how that quote goes, Iâm sure of it.
Tower of God is available on Crunchyroll.
