Premieres July 2024. Check out the ANN article for additional cast/staff information. Synopsis of the first season from AniList:

There is a tower that summons chosen people called "Regulars" with the promise of granting their deepest desires. Whether it be wealth, fame, authority, or something that surpasses them all—everything awaits those who reach the top.

Twenty-Fifth Bam is a boy who had only known a dark cave, a dirty cloth, and an unreachable light his entire life. So when a girl named Rachel came to him through the light, his entire world changed. Becoming close friends with Rachel, he learned various things about the outside world from her. But when Rachel says she must leave him to climb the Tower, his world shatters around him. Vowing to follow after her no matter what it takes, he sets his sight on the tower, and a miracle occurs.

Thus begins the journey of Bam, a young boy who was not chosen by the Tower but opened its gates by himself. They call his kind "Irregulars"—beings that have shaken the very foundation of the Tower each time they set foot inside it.

It's been a long time coming.

I'm "lucky" enough that I didn't come across it until recently. Loved it. So my wait has been pretty short.

Lucky bastard

Was the first any good? I watched the first few episodes and it felt like a slog compared to the weebtoon, and I could only get access to a japanese audio track (dunno if there even were others), which felt just weird.

S1 is good for me as a source material reader. My minor gripe is the anime tried to rush some things and changed narrative to fit the 13 episode run. OST is awesome as it was done by Kelvin Penkin.

I didn’t read the webtoon beforehand, and enjoyed S1.

Reading the webtoon after watching, I thought it was a good adaptation.

What made you think of it as “a slog”?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe because I was caught up on the webtoon at the time of airing and just couldn't handle the restart. It's not always a problem but sometimes that happens. I might give it another shot now that I don't remember any of it.

There's no need to be apologetic, I wasn't trying to swat your opinion down.

I was curious to hear if you noticed anything negative that I missed about the adaptation.
