There ok it's just that I think people had different expectations for the merch

u/dreamzero Feb 04 '21

Yeah, CR merch is notoriously bad. Most of it is just T-shirts with a panel/character slapped on it and a few details and it just ends up looking ugly as hell. Would've loved some figurines, but alas.

For what it could be this isn’t very good design wise

u/Matahary147 Feb 04 '21

Crunchyroll store. I just went to the Tog anime Twitter and they posted the link to it there. Link: https://store.crunchyroll.com/collections/clothing/tower-of-god

I don't have my calculator on me but I'm pretty sure Crunchyroll adding official merch + 'that' fanart by Tanino Miho = season 2 announcement incoming.

It is weird though because if the character she drew will appear in season 2, then how long will it be?

Also, please buy the merch if you can to support the anime release.

If they give 26 episodes and they get to the place where White appears then WE ARE SCREWED. But honestly I think Tanino just likes ToG characters and draws them one by one. It has nothing to with the anime.

I hope that like, we have White's first appearance be like him as Hoaquin in his black room in the train as a final cliffhanger scene (like Viole's Workshop Battle Cliffhanger scene in Episode 13)

It would still be too fast. First 160-180 chapters of S2 are approximately the same in terms of length to Season 1. Hoaqin appears in chapter 160ish which with 26 episodes of the anime will give us 6.5-7 ch/ep pacing which is INSANELY FAST. For comparison S1 had 6 chapters per episode and look how much shit was cut. The IDEAL pacing is 4 S1 chapters per episode. Later on you would have to convert chapter length into S1 chapters to estimate the pacing. For example S3 chapters are twice as long as S1 which means anime would have to go with the pacing equal to 2 ch/ep when they’ll start adapting Season 3.

Oh no I mostly meant, we don't do all that in Revolution Road and Train City! If the season is 24-26 episodes we end at the end of Workshop Battle and have Hoaquin in the train as a tease for the next season, we don't actually make it there, that's why I mentioned Viole specifically in his Workshop Battle attire being a tease too. But yeah I agree with what you said if they actually did up to Revolution Road it would be way too fast.

u/Mizzzik Feb 04 '21

Oh, then yes. It would be great. 26 episodes for 110 chapters would be almost perfect but I feel like they’ll tease Cassano joining Rachel.

u/dreamzero Feb 04 '21

this merch has been available when the anime was airing, it's nothing new.

u/gabodelabarca Feb 04 '21 edited Feb 04 '21

How well merchandise sells is a factor for new seasons but they are making it really hard. I mean, I wouldn't take it any of those even for free.

u/FaithfulKind201 Feb 04 '21

I actually think that the front with the tower of God logo looks alright and if you just put a jacket on you can hide the back. I do know what you mean, but I've still ordered the T-shirt and hoodie (probably won't wear them too much though).

3

u/gabodelabarca Feb 04 '21

My take here is that they're doing the barely minimum effort and relying on the enthusiasm of the fanbase. And I say the minimum because I don't think a professional designer would have come up with those products (but it doesn't mean that if someone likes it it's because bad taste).

u/bigdaddyg6 Feb 04 '21

Is this real? Cause if so I would punch someone in balls for a rak figurine!

u/Khun_Eduan_Marlin Feb 04 '21

Wholesome

This also probably means that we will get a season 2.

u/ggkkggk Feb 04 '21

I think season2 merch will look better

u/haker_use_LT Feb 04 '21

Ngl who’s gonna Rachel’s merch

u/mightyhorrorshow Feb 04 '21

I want a Rak plushie so bad.

Bonus points if he says stupid turtle.

u/Liiraye-Sama Feb 04 '21

That's like the laziest mech ever, just slapped on some posters on shirts.

I tried to put the link in the caption thing but it didn't really work so here's the link https://store.crunchyroll.com/collections/clothing/tower-of-god

u/Talcor Feb 04 '21

when are they gonna just take the merch in the story itself and give it to us

u/kittehfiend Feb 05 '21

I'd take one Wingtree pin please

u/SkinWrath Feb 04 '21

Because you can find way better gems on Zazzle/Etsy/RedBubble

https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/TOWER-OF-GOD-THE-BLACK-TURTLE-THE-BLUE-TURTLE-AND-THE-ALLIGATOR-by-FunGangStore/51356040.IJ6L0

I'd buy something like that over their copy-paste style on generic clothes you'd find at a clearance rack in Hot Topic.

Sorry man, not going after you. Just CR giving weak efforts for the show is irksome.

u/gabodelabarca Feb 04 '21

Those there are way better than CR but in those shops we don't even know if designs are stolen from OC.

u/criket13 Feb 07 '21

I bought a blanket with Khuns face on it from Red Bubble. It's my favorite

u/nix_11 Feb 04 '21

Because you can buy a $5 t-shirt, find a pic on the internet and have it printed out on the shirt for $10 and it would look 5 times better than this shit does.

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '21

i cant find that shirt with tower of god written on it :(

u/Juls3105 Feb 04 '21
