Outside of Coopa's naked foot, this was a poor season 2. They added many more characters that are really hard to care about. Memories and questions that didn't require answers were answered in full detail, while also adding more questions, particularly in regard to four characters and also in regard to the passing of time. We don't even see the inner-tower progression for half the season, and the other half is rushed to take us to the end with no regard for the setting that was supposed to be dangerous. I gave it 8 episodes until I just played it on 2x speed. This show will have you and your friends saying, "Didn't ask. Thanks for the chores."

The Sword Of Uruk is the second season of the Tower of Druaga anime, which continues the previous Aegis of Uruk.
Story & Characters: The story continues about half a year after the end of the first season, with everyone having gone their separate ways after Kaaya and Neeba's betrayel. Jil has become a drunk who just can't do anything, until one day the physical manifestation of the legendary priestess Ki comes and asks him to take her to the top of the now renamed "Tower of Gilgamesh" to help Neeba and Kaaya, and to save the kingdome by defeating king Gilgamesh' shadow self, which is taking over the kings consciousness. Jil and the others join forces again, with some troubles, and climbs the tower again, with a new ally called Henaro. The characters are mostly the same as the first season,…

Sorry, I will be blunt and its not gonna be incredibly detailed and written like an essay for a written lit course.
The story sucks. It has its moments, but it's not the greatest. My honest opinion is that the story is rather simplistic and it doesn't really hold up with its happy go lucky ending. The characters feel really weak at times, and they don't exactly flesh them out to an extent where we want to care for them. The music is decent if you mean the opening. Only decent part of the anime was the opening. The rest of the time, it felt like hell watching the anime. It was rather boring outside of the occasional joke and the main antagonist was just boring. The main heroine? She needed to be slapped because she was the reason why this stuff happened. The main character needed to learn…

Am I the only one upset about the poor explanation in this anime? Why did the battle in the end have to occur? Why couldn't they have sided with the brother? At least, they killed off some people that should've been killed instead of letting their poor excuse for a main character be friends with them. People try to kill the mc and then change their minds, and then he's like "let's be friends." These types of main characters are very poor and stupid. I still enjoyed the anime for the most part though.
Story: 8. I'm a sucker for fantasy tower/dungeon stories.
Art: 5. Not very good, but not horrible.
Sound: 5. Average.
Character: 3. Poor. Even the good guys were often rude and not someone you'd want to cheer on. Silly reasons or no reason spurred their actions.
Enjoyment: 7. This matters the…

TL;DR Watch it for the characters and their relationships with each other.
This is an anime that everyone should watch, but not because it is the greatest anime ever or even one of the top 50.
When watching Tower of Druaga you'll probably say something like "Why am I even watching this? Are these characters even developing?" and "What's keeping me here?"
This is because what's special about Tower of Druaga is that there really is no main character. And this makes it brilliant.
Jil is a kind of focus, for sure, but he really doesn't have all that much screentime and we get Neeba, Gilgamesh, and Ethana side stories all the time. Tower of Druaga doesn't really spend that much time developing the backstories of all these characters and instead presents them to you as human beings that y…

SPOILERS-FREE
This is a sequel to the first Uruk Series. If you watched that and wanted to get answers from the sequel, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This show has the EXACT same flaws as the first. Exactly the same.
I swear, half-finished sentences are the whole reason this show sucks, It sets up these great mysteries, but then never solves them, even from the first show. Who is the blue girl floating by Neeba? How and why was the tower made? Why didn't Kiya just EXPLAIN why she left with Neeba? Never explained.
Great, GREAT side characters who go NOWHERE, a main lead who is dumb as a brick, a story that starts out with promise and then answers NO questions, and a story propelled entirely by the needs of the plot, rather than the desires of the characters.
There's even a scene…

Without seeing season one you can't get the complexities of the second. Only with the fist half can this be considered an actual full story; unlike some anime that can be segmented into there own separate stories. This time around everything has a very serious mood or feeling though the whole thing. Then also has ending actually is capped off really well by giving everything and everyone a clear resolution to their characters story to that point. While having it's very serious and surreal atmosphere the whole time it successfully is able to delivers it's fair share of funny moments. With this I feel it is an improvement over the first season.

It's generic fantasy done fairly well on the surface, but ultimately it's a hollow experience which reeks of missed potential. Though I haven't really spoiled anything explicit, I do refer to a fair amount of events in this review, so it won't be for those who don't want to know any details of what they'll see.
Plenty of SoU's merit rests on our shared experiences with the characters from the previous season. It also does a satisfying job of tying things from AoU's storyline into this one, though unfortunately it fails to improve on AoU's foundation or deliver satisfying resolutions of its own. SoU started off pretty strong, with an exciting build-up in the first two episodes as the old crew gets reunited, and some fun adventures through exotic landscapes and fiendish new enemies in the m…

The second season of Druaga kept me more invested than the previous season, having a slightly more interesting twist in the story and a decent outcome.
I didn't feel overly impressed or enchanted by the whole entry, but found no major faults in it either besides some loose ends at the conclusion and some disagreements with the main character.
The premise is essentially sibling rivalry with a lot thrown on to it, with brothers Ji and Neeba fighting it out.
Ji is the lawful good entry and Neeba teetering from true to neutral to chaotic neutral and eventually...evil in some capacity or another.
I found the main character to be insufferably stupid and naive on occasion; not to say that unless every lead has to be a labyrinth of emotion and thought or Machiavellian, but the heroic ideal th…

----Rundown:
1) Pros
- Good story
- Solid characters
- Story is told mainly from 3 point of views
2)Cons
-Bad art , and i mean bad (excessive use of CGI, bad animated faces)
-Not much of a satisfying end *Overall 9/10
The tower of druage is a great anime overall , great story, good characters, decent art.
It is sad to see that the animation aspect is full with crappy CGI and really bad drawn expression "faces", the anime could have been literally in my favorites if it hasn't been for this annoying downside.
If i have to sum it up : high caliber story with bad execution!
*Story 9/10
The story is interesting as it is told but the "brave hero king" point of view in many cases, his Rationalization for his actions which are raise a philosophical dilemma at points mixed with glimpses of his h…

For an anime based off an old video game, I'd have to say this did very well.
What drew me to this anime was the art!
I love it. The character colors and designs are nice to look at.
While this was a short series, it was very enjoyable. There was some outrageous humour, as seen in the booby trap episode-which was so bad in some of the hinted directions it went, but for someone who doesn't usually find dirty humour funny, I think I laughed a lot. My favourite in that episode was, however, the flat sprites.
Aside the humour:
YOu would not possibly have guessed, again, being it's some risky anime based off an old video game...that it would have lots of depth.
There is a lot of treachery and betrayal, as well as some much deeper human emotions that drive some of these characters. The moti…

Tower of druaga is one of the animes which i like most.its a very good anime to pass your time and enjoy but its not as great as FMAB or death note.its consists of two seasons :'THE AEGIS OF URUK' and 'THE SWOARD OF URUK' which think makes this anime really interesting. '''STORY''' :i think this anime serios doesn't have a very good story rather it has such an unbelievable story which is full of twists.its totally unpredictable.you don't guess what will happen in the next episode.mainly 12 th episode of aegis of uruk was the worst.i was shocked to see its outcome.swoard of uruk is not as enjoyble an aegis of uruk but its not bad too.''MUSIC'':this anime has got great opening and ending songs.sound quality is also very nice.''ANIMATION'':Tower druaga has got great art and graphics qualities…

well I have to say if your a huge RPG or slash & hack fan , then your probably going to like this series.it is in essence one big long and entertaining dungeon crawl.
There are plenty of twists, betrayals and campy style humor and action to hold your attention through out, a few Boromir scenes as well , if you catch my drift.
Story. not bad , not great but not terrible either.
Art- also pretty good and yes , let it be said , that Fartina is one smoking hot mage babe.They got that part right.
sound- well done and well acted.
character- the second series , does a much Better job of developing the characters with back story and what have you but honestly not enough . This story could and should have been EPIC but unfortunately its not.
Enjoyment-yes i did , i really enjoyed the series a…

What the hell happened?
Those four words generally sum up my disbelief at the second season. Granted I know this show isn't a beacon of comedy, I understand that but holy crow did they ever suck the humor out of this show, except for the third episode you may be hard-pressed to find any sort of humor in this season, it's like the creators decided no we're not going to include any comedy in this season. Without the comedy this show ultimately suffers, the pacing starts to slow the show down considerably and you feel like watching this show is almost like a chore instead of something you want to watch.
But I have to digress, the Voice acting is sharp, However, I think it's a shame Melt does not have as many lines as he did in the first one and thus the comedic factor is lost. The leads do…

Since Sword of Uruk is just a sequel to Aegis or Uruk I thought I'd save some time and include both of them in this review.
I'll get down to it Aegis of Uruk was mediocre at best, it started off great the first episode was just one cliche after the other thrown at you in a hilarious fashion. After that however the series just went downhill. In a hard to explain way it was just bad.
The story seems rushed, they switch from scene to scene ungracefully and it feels like there are parts missing in between it all.
The fight scenes are uninspired and just no fun to watch.
There are about 3 worthwhile episodes worth watching in the first season and thats just sad.The only thing that barely redeemed the Aegis or Uruk (and I mean barely) were the comedy segments, occasionally they'll get more th…

Irony. Harsh or not, unbelievable or not, this word describes this season of Druaga perfectly. Normally I would be against such a broad generalization, but as I was writing the rest of the review, no matter how much I struggled, how much I fought against it, every respect of this season always came back to it, and in the end I had to relinquish all my hopes.
Even while holding true to this concept, don’t rush to judgments, Tower of Druaga: The Sword of Uruk is an overall enjoyable experience, and does indeed have strong points worth mentioning, this is undisputable. Instead the question about this season is how well a show that ends every string of events in contradiction with itself, can manage to remain entertaining despite its ups and downs.
Some traits of the first season are obvious…

Tower of Druaga - the Sword of Uruk is the second season of the Tower of Druage series and continues where the first season ended.
The story begins six months after their fight against Druaga and the betrayal of Neeba and Kaaya. If you could say that the story in the first season wasn't very innovative , the story in the second season is even worse. It's so predictable that from the beginnig I already knew what was going to happen . As you probably guess , Jill and the rest of his friends are going to try to get to the Mythical Tower and see what happened to Neeba and Kaaya . And to get there they'll need a help of a small girl called Kai , who looks like Kaaya, only in small "format" :D. Also , many things happened in the last six months. King Gilgamesh became more cruel and didn't rewa…

Tower of Druaga is a two-season anime (Aegis of Uruk - 1st season; Sword of Uruk - 2nd season) that isn’t anything spectacular, but manages to deliver great fun and enjoyment. Each season haves 12 episodes but season one has an extra episode, it’s an alternative version of the first episode. This is only funny stuff but explains some things so I recommend watching it.
Mainly I’m going to review Sword of Uruk but there are going to be some comparations and references to Aegis of Uruk so this could be considered the full anime review. Firstly I must say that I don’t usually watch this type of anime. This is the typical “save everyone” character (incredibly stupid at that) that has to save the world by defeating a great evil at the top of a tower. Pretty common story huh? Well don’t be fool…

Hmmmmmmmm, what to say about this anime. I thought it was "alright". Nothing compared to the first season, which I enjoyed WAY more. I'm gonna try to keep this spoiler free, but that may be hard to.
Story - 6
The story for ToD had POTENTIAL. But it lost it for me. Most of the episodes felt like a burden to watch, and I only watched cause I wanted to see the end. There's Jil and his friends climbing the tower, little girl with some back ground story following them, and then some things happen etc etc. But what I HATED about it was how DULL they made it all. It all seemed so familiar like I was watching the same episode over and over. And then when things do change up, it's some type of stupid plot twist. If you decide to watch the ending, you will see what I'm talking about.

The Sword of Uruk diverges rather heavily from its prequel. Instead of "everyone happily going on a hiking trip", the story is centered more on betrayal and vengeance - PG style. Unfortunately, the animation quality hasn't improved much from season one, but they have finally stopped cramming in weaksauce CG like Gonzo's previous projects (ie. Druggynaut, BlAss-rater, etc.). Fans of season one are more likely to enjoy this due to the obvious reason of "sequel", but they are enough flashbacks to make season one optional.
Art: 7
Hokay, so its no longer a secret that Fatina is so bangin' hot and every man in Uruk wants to have her babies. But not even the Scarlett Johansson of Meskia can keep us entertained if all the fights in this show look like Street Fighter Alpha. Hell even Pokemon had…
