The Best Anime of 2020
Honorable Mention: Tower of God
Staff Writer Andrew McMahon: On the surface, Tower of God seems like just another typical battle anime where the protagonist starts out hopelessly weak only to become seemingly invincible whenever the plot dictates it. It only takes a couple of episodes into this new anime before you realize that simply isn’t the case.
While Bam certainly is deceptively powerful, his charm and naivety are the true focus of Tower of God, as these characteristics stand out amidst an otherwise cruel and mysterious world.
As a result of this, characters gravitate toward his innocence, looking to recapture a bit of their own purity while simultaneously protecting Bams.
The relationships that are formed and the stories that come about because of them are the true heart of what makes this show so good already.
The best part about Tower of God, though, is that it has so much potential. Its magic system, structure, characters, and setting are already built up so well, and we’ve only scratched the surface of what the original source material has to offer.
You’re going to want to get in on this show while we are still on the ground floor of the Tower, as Tower of God is definetly going to take off the longer it is around.
