Some great animation, but the fights themselves aren't portrayed well and thus not all that hype.
Webtoon readers have mentioned how the pacing is extremely rushed. Personally, the story felt fine in that regard, but the fights themselves didn't really provide any storytelling, which is sad for a show literally about fighting and ultimately what makes the show forgettable in my opinion.
Solid visuals but thin plot, one-dimensional cast, disappointing combat, mediocre overall. Only for fans.

Super weird premise, with a disjointed end would have been more interesting if the two haves of the show were more related, but it is totally fast paced treating the audience like adults, so the ending was pretty epic. I consider the beginning uninteresting filler.

... NEEEDS MORE DEVELOPMENT !!!!!
way to fast paced !
character's did not have enough time to grow and the history would be more than thankful for it as well!
As it stands now... its good to watch so you can pass the time, but... it feels like a waste of the animations recourses ...
needs to be remade with 24 episodes.

Going into this blind, I was expecting an anime about Gods/Demons/Demi-Gods going to school with a goofy/fun tone; however, this focuses on a martial art tournament called "God of High School", which I was like, "umm... sure". The animation is superb, but there are so many plot points thrown at the viewer that its difficult to care about anything. In the end, the show constantly tries to one up itself that it hurts the enjoyment of the watch.

Wasted opportunity the anime. This anime has great animations, good fight sequences but it feels like there story material for 3 seasons stuffed into 13 episodes. Things keep happening you dont have any time to start caring or even learning why.
I would still recommend it for fans of animation and fast action. If you want a coherent story to go along you will be disappointment.

First off, don’t let the mediocre rating deter you. Many low scores are likely fans of the original work malding about its speedrun pacing or overlooked details. It’s noticeable, but still does not warrant the bombing.
The "camera" movement and animation alone is enough to carry this anime. Speed, strength, agility and technique are all portrayed nicely. The fights are fun to watch with plenty of variation and styles.
There are parts where information comes out of nowhere, but overall it’s easy to follow, like a mindless action movie. That’s essentially why this is recommended--they kind of skip the buildup and dive right into “high stakes” fighting. It’s still a beautiful action show, just nothing too deep behind the characters or scenes.

main character
16, male, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., brown hairThe character has brown hair., impulsivePersonality trait characterized by the inclination of an individual to initiate behavior without adequate forethought as to the consequences of their actions, acting on the spur of the moment., simple-mindedThis character exhibits a `special` sort of intelligence. Be it the inability to comprehend even the most simple of situations, or the lack of common sense found in even a preschooler, the character never ceases to amaze both the show`s cast and audience with their idiocy.

female, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., ahogeConsisting of a single, often large, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head, it is most often used to identify foolish, bumbling or carefree characters., bokkenThe bokken is a club-like wooden sword used as a less dangerous replacement to edged swords. A bokken will usually be shaped after a katana, but other swords may serve as models. Some bokken may also be used for ornamental purposes. While much safer than an edged sword, the bokken`s use as a blunt weapon may even kill a human being; therefore, when sparring, it is common to use a shinai, a light, flexible, and much safer bamboo sword., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., brown hairThe character has brown hair., glassesGlasses (also called eyeglasses or spectacles) are frames bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction, eye protection, or for protection from UV rays. For practical tagging purposes, sunglasses should not be considered glasses; the "glasses" tag is specifically about the type that doesn`t block light. However, a character who wears prescription glasses with dark lenses or who wears both eyewear types should take both tags., kneehighsKnee highs are a hosiery piece that covers the feet and rise up to, but not including, the knee, or slightly thereunder; they leave the knee exposed. Typically worn by women in western and other societies, they are sometimes worn with modern semi-formal dress. Hosiery that partly cover the knees, or fully cover and extend above the knees, are thighhighs / stockings., large breastsLarge breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts.
Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards.

female, bubblegumno description set, exposed midriffIn fashion, midriff is a term for the human abdomen. The midriff is exposed when wearing a crop top or some forms of swimwear., fingerless glovesFingerless gloves or "glovelettes" are garments worn on the hands which resemble regular gloves in most ways, except that the finger columns are half-length and opened, allowing the top-half of the wearer`s fingers to be shown. This provides much of the warmth retention without negatively impacting dexterity., large breastsLarge breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts.
Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags.

They have an inseam of just a few inches, or even less., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., thighhighsThighhighs or stockings are a close-fitting, variously elastic hosiery piece that fully cover and extend above the knees, or partly cover the knees, leaving only the thigh area exposed. Generally, "thighhighs" refers to stockings that stay up by the use of built-in elastic. In contrast, "stockings" is the general term and/or refers to the kind of stockings that need a suspender belt / garter belt. Hosiery that rise up to, but not including, the knee, or slightly thereunder, are knee highs., wrestlingWrestling is a fight between two people without weapons, in which each person tries to beat their opponent. Wrestlers use clinching, holding, locking, and leverage. It resembles ritual fighting as it avoids things that will likely lead to serious injury. It is similar to military hand-to-hand combat or self-defence systems.
