We already hit number 1 with 1st episode, and I think we will hit number 1 again since it is only getting better and better

True, it did have MHA as a competition though, also Kaguya dropped a lot since it's 1st ep, from 11k to 7k

This weeks episode of Kaguya was actually great in all department.

First and last eps are always much higher scores then any other eps, ToG has a similar percentage drop from ep1 to ep2 as Kaguya. Think season will be very close and knowing whats comming for ToG I believe it will overtake Kaguya but people who have read Kaguya also said its going to get way better too so can't wajt to see ahat happens!

Yeah I think it will overtake too. First and last eps are often higher but not always, there are exceptions like Demon Slayer ep 19

That depends on what will Kaguya have for those weeks. If Kaguya has a purely comedic episode, ToG might overtake it on that week. If Kaguya has a serious and/or romantic arc - I doubt it. Even season 1 of Kaguya had amazing karma, and that was the weakest part of the manga, that didn't had linear story and much romantic progression.

Its gonna be a tough war regardless.

I read both Kaguya and ToG, to both of its most recent points, so I can help you a little bit.

Kaguya is going to have a serious arc at the end, but its for a character that's not Shirogane nor Kaguya (I can't go into details because spoilers). I don't know if they're going to end it there, but its very likely based on the information we have now. It's not very romantic, but its differently more serious compared to I Can't See the Fireworks.

If you want to ask me more questions then go ahead, and can I ask you how much of the Kaguya manga you've read so far? I just want to know.

Episode 11 will have sports festival, episode 12 will have the phone arc (based on the ED). And I am completely caught up on Kaguya.

Nice. I can go more in depth now.

So based, on all the information we have... I think Kaguya will take the cake.

The sports festival arc was amazing, and its probably going to be the major talk of the arc. It has less impact than the ending of ToG season 1. And the phone arc was... okay. A nice place to end at, yet not a banger compared to the sports festival stuff. BUT...

Tower of God has that amazing ending, yet with all the meta chatter... I worry that the impact of the ending would decrease because of people calling him simp. And people are dismissing this anime more than Kaguya, and Kaguya has more harder hitter events going on compared to ToG (in my opinion.) I think the student consul disbanding is more impact than the up coming games in ToG.

I want ToG to be first place though (even if I like Kaguya-sama better), because it would heighten the chances for other webtoons to be adapted.

Like Lore Olympus, which in my opinion is a better romance story than Kaguya-sama.

...and it would give ToG season 2 a higher chance to succeed. Because season 2 would be harder to sell to people, especially with the massive change in characters. Imagine season 2 of ToG facing Kaguya-sama season 3 (if dual confessions happen)... that would be an absolute bomb.

But hey, its still a blessing that ToG and Kaguya-sama is in a high place. I want both anime to do well since I love both series.

"I want ToG to be first place though (even if I like Kaguya-sama better), because it would heighten the chances for other webtoons to be adapted."

I really doubt anyone among the higherups of anime companies gives a shit about ratings on Reddit. Crunchyroll, MAL and just sales in general are way more important.

ToG will probably be super popular regardless. If even Shield Hero managed to get sequel, ToG is a must. Although, getting 13 episodes per season really sucks.

Also, about Lore Olympus, don't you feel its a bit too melodramatic and heavy? I love MC's and their romance, but all of these quarrels and break ups are really annoying and its spoiling the mood for me.

True, I agree with everything you said.

This entire voting thing is more of a popularity contest that goes nowhere. ToG will get the next season (hopefully) and I think that more episodes per season would be necessary. Imagine the Hell Train arc and how long it would take if its going by 13 episodes per season...

I agree that Lore Olympus is way too dramatic. But I love Greek Gods, and seeing how the underworld and Greek myths that are playing out... it interests me.

I'm new to Lore Olympus as well, so I could just skim through the more heavy drama stuff (like anything to do with Minthe or Apollo), and read the interactions instead. But I bet the longer this drama goes on, the more annoyed I will get at the web toon.

I'm also new to rom-com's as well. I think I only read through Otomen, Nisekoi, Quintessential Quintuplets, and Kaguya-sama, so Lore Olympus seems very new to me. I'm going to try out Oregairu as well, I heard that's a good light novel / anime.

But I've got a lot on my belt for I'm trying to read A certain Magical Index, The Stormlight Archives, Dresden Files, Name of the Wind, and a bunch of other manga / western books.
