It is dark fantasy anime based on the manhwa by the same name, written by S.I.U. The manhwa was published by Young Com in June 2010 and has been serialized into Naver Webtoon (in Korean)and Line Webtoon (translated in English).

Tower of God is an action anime with mainstream art and animation. The anime comes with some really great music and a fantasy setting that leaves behind quite an impression on its viewers. But what took many fans (myself included) completely hooked to the series were the brilliant plot twists that make it such an amazing piece of art. The show makes one think and rethink the ideologies we are so often fed about the right and wrongs of our world. Tower of God has some of the most creative characters that carry a certain significance to the story. The complex storyline leads to the Tower of God ending, which in its own way was a satisfying finish.

Tower of God Ending Explained
The first season of Tower of God was sure one hell of a ride. Rachel coming off as a jealousy-struck villainess could not have been foretold, but that is what happened. As she pushed Bam down the tower, we see many possibilities open up, and anticipation of a second season grows in us. They are both determined to climb the tower now, Rachel seeking to be special and Bam seeking his answers. Rachel’s jealousy knows no bounds as she constructs an entire plan to kill Bam, all to gain the Caretaker’s favor and enter the Tower.
However, Rachel was hesitant to put her motives to action at first. But when she saw Bam use his special Shinsu, it was like she flipped a switch or like the ultimate wave of jealousy overcame her. She pushed him off the very edge he was standing in, all for her. Rachel even lied to the teammates and told them that Bam had been defeated. They believe her and, in his honor, decide to fulfill his goal and take Rachel to the top of the tower. I admit this was frustrating, and fans want to see nothing more than Bam to climb up and face Rachel’s true face.
Khun is still suspicious of Rachel, but he decides to move ahead with her and his team. Bam meets Hwaryan at the bottom of the tower, who urges him to climb up again.
