Every so often, an anime comes along with qualities that can best be described as “stupefying”, and in the summer 2020 season, that anime is The God of High School. Based on the Korean WEBTOON online comic by Park Yongje, The God of High School TV anime is directed by Park Sunghoo (Garo -Vanishing Line) and features animation production by MAPPA (Yuri!!! on ICE, Dorohedoro). Set in South Korean, the story follows tae kwon do wielder Jin Mori, karate expert Han Daewi, and master swords-woman Yu Mira as they square off against an increasingly bizarre line-up of fighters in the prestigious “God of High School” tournament, which aims to crown the strongest high school-age martial artist in the land. Jin fights to grow stronger in hopes of finding his missing grandfather, while Han wants to win the prize money to save the life of his ailing friend, and Yu wishes to prove herself worthy of the Moonlight Sword fighting style that she inherited from her father.
