Alright, watched all the eps of tower of god that are out (up through episode 5). I think they've done a pretty good job honestly. The pacing is definitely fast and some minor stuff is skipped but the tests so far have been pretty well represented and it actually feels like they can wrap up the prologue in 13 eps without it feeling too rushed.

The few things I wished they had done was mention all the irregulars they did in the manga. We only hear about urek in the anime but there were some pretty cool other ones that just weren't shown here. They always bring change to the tower and thats been kind of glossed over. I guess they will probably get into them when they introduce FUG in season 2 though. They were at least nice enough to show us urek and his epic back tattoo and he's the only one that really matters for a while.

They also didn't mention needles (which is what the black march and all other similar looking things are). Hatz is actually pretty unique for having swords. Needles are made with razor thin blades to minimize shinsui resistance. They mention it on floor one when they bring up the black march in the source and it only takes like 2 seconds so they might as well have just kept it in the anime.

Finally, Bam's name is not bam. It's the twenty fifth Bam which means the 25th night. It's kind of intentionally not really a name. I mean, he is generally reffered to as just Bam (for now) but it's still important to know his full name. Maybe they will give some more flashbacks to him and Rachel and explain it then.

All minor issues though. They've still done a pretty good job at keeping us in the dark about everything. You can't even ever see very far. You have almost no concept of what the 2nd floor even really looks like despite seeing plenty of rooms and some grassland outside. The source did the same thing and really kept the whole thing feeling mysterious for all of season 1. Once season 2 starts we get more and more answers both directly and indirectly in the form of just seeing more of the various places they go to.
