 Main cast and staff members for the anime adaptation of Yong-je Park's The God of High School manhwa were announced by Crunchyroll on Thursday. The anime will debut exclusively on Crunchyroll in Summer 2020.Synopsis It all began as a fighting tournament to seek out for the best fighter among all high school students in Korea. Mori Jin, a Taekwondo specialist and a high school student, soon learns that there is something much greater beneath the stage of the tournament. (Source: LINE Webtoon) Cast Mo-ri Jin: Tatsumaru Tachibana (Kabukichou Sherlock) A sixteen-year-old whose taekwondo, which he learned from his grandfather, makes him undefeatable. Nothing is more important to him than being the best fighter of all, and his current record out of 299 fights is 297 wins and 2 draws. He decides to participate in the God of High School tournament, an interdisciplinary martial arts competition, after suffering the first loss of his life against Judge R, one of the tournament's judges. Dae-wi Han: Kentarou Kumagai (Grancrest Senki) One of the "Mad Cows," a duo that once controlled the entire Gangnam area. He's been working part-time jobs to pay the medical bills for his partner in the duo, who fell ill with an incurable disease, but the part-time work available to high schoolers is barely enough to cover the daily medical bills and won't cover a cure. He joins GOH after being told that he can save his friend if he wins. Mi-ra Yu: Ayaka Ohashi (Masamune-kun no Revenge) The 25th Master of the Moon Light Sword Style. She pretends to be a fragile high schooler, but she has the strength to easily overpower an entire group of delinquents in a fight. She prefers guys who are macho, because she's been told that she needs to marry a man strong enough to help her resurrect her family's sword style. For that reason, she's participating in GOH to find a potential husband. Seong-Hu Park (Garo: Vanishing Line) is directing the anime at MAPPA, featuring character designs by Manabu Akita (Kakegurui). Sola Entertainment is in charge of the management production. Park launched the action comedy manhwa in Naver Webtoon (now Line Webtoon) in April 2011. Naver began publishing the chapters in English in June 2014. Teaser PV Source: Crunchyroll |

| next please...solo leveling, The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor or hardcore leveling warrior |
| I thought Hoshimasa Hosoya be Daewi's voice... hmm (’ · ω ·`) |
| The truly intelligent person is one who can pretend to be a fool in front of a fool who pretends to be intelligent. |
| This looks interesting. Will definitely watch this one! |
  |
| I for one am super excited. *_* |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| This looks good, really looking forward to watching this in the Summer. |
| Never came around to read the manhwa, even tho the title is haunting me for many years. Well, now I will be able to get to it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The animation looks insane, let´s see how it goes. I have known about the webtoon for years but I just never started it. Considering it is 400+ chapters I guess I´ll stick to the anime for now. |
| They better not fuck this up! |
| Yo it's pretty cool and kinda crazy that Korean manhwas are starting to get adapted more frequently, but does anyone know if these are only being adapted into Japanese? Are they Japanese dubbed with original Korean versions too?? |
 |
| I am excited about this, i read the Webtoon years ago but ended up stalling out with it. I remember the fights being hype though, I'll probably hold off going back to the webtoon and watch this with fresh eyes |
| the manhwas was a promise that korean works would bring something new and better, but tower of god is another sao where the protagonist without harem lacks personality or simply being emo. This instead just seems to be another nekketsu. |
| Wow, Tower of God in Spring, God of High School in Summer, and Noblesse which is soon to come. Even though it's not a web-toon I wonder if this means that there's a chance for The Breaker to get an anime adaptation as well. On another note, I would like to see Bastard get an anime adaptation. |
 |
| Oh just wow really looking forward to the adaption especially the fight scenes seems like Imma gonna re read now as i almost forgot the most of it. |
| Looks like a fun action packed anime to my ptw |
 |
| I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed with the seiyuu choices. I'm really looking forward to see all those fights animated though. |

| Animation doesn’t look that good tho Tower of God, The God of High school and hopefully Solo Leveling next |
| lmao the god of high school has got to be the most anime name ever |
  |
| Oh this looks pretty cool. Will check it out. |
| FINALLY. One of my favourite manhwa is getting an anime adaptation. I have dreamt of this since the beginning of time. The only sad thing is, that it will take a long time for the anime to reach the point I am at in the manhwa, right now. Will definitely watch this. I recommend this SO MUCH. It is on par, if not better, than most of the battle-shounen series out there. |

ElGoblino said: Xenocrisi said: Animation doesn’t look that good tho Tower of God, The God of High school and hopefully Solo Leveling next Are you blind sir? The animation looks incredible, animators are already talking about cuts from this teaser over on twitter and on the sakuga forum. The director for the series is a veteran when it comes to action animation and from what I heard he's gonna bring a lot of free lancers and animators that worked on Naruto/Boruto No I’m not blind. Sure, there are 2 or 3 sakuga scenes, but the other ones don’y look very fluid. |

| Beware that this is your typical generic battle shounen manhwa, you would enjoy it a lot more if you turn your brain off. I hope to see some good fights. |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Please let this be 2 cour! |
| this actually looks better than tog. interesting.

| honestly the only thing i've heard thats good about this is the fighting and it being compared to dragon ball z of webtoons does almost nothing for me ,but will check it out since i do enjoy high quality action but i ant expecting much nor will i buy into the hype. some how i think this will do fairly well with how simple and straight forward it is as long as they keep the animation good |

xgongiveittoya said: It's actually precious to see people of your kind getting so salty that instead using the main account go ahead to creating an alt. I hope you're doing well, Ma'am. Otherwise without you I won't be having this much fun.Damerino said: this actually looks better than tog. interesting.+1I see, still will shit on it tho. Nobody cares about your opinion, nobody wants to hear you shit on anything other than shitting on your shitty life. You people really love acting as if your opinion matters or you yourself matters, its so hilarious |
| OK, the trailer was pretty hype. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Come on,please Solo Leveling be next. And I hope no delay. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
Stoorainclaire said: next please...solo leveling, The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor or hardcore leveling warrior Yes please! legendary moonlight sculptor is what got me into korean webnovels and while i haven't enjoyed the webtoon as much, i would still love to see a full animation of the series! I just hope the adaptations we are already getting like this, tower of god and noblesse are enough to warrant more adaptations |
| Hype, totally will watch this, as a reader the story is kinda a letdown but i can't wait to see my boy Mori... i hope the VA turns out good tho. Yes, next pls pls let it be Solo Leveling. |
| This show gonna implode inside because of mediocrity premise. With Re Zero in summer, this anime will be overshadowed. With MAPPA its gonna be good or trash, leaning to the latter. |
