Tower of God is an anime television series based on S.I.U.'s manhwa series of the same name. The anime adaptation was initially announced at Seoul Comic-Con in August 2019. The series, titled Kami no Tō -Tower of God- (神之塔 -Tower of God-), began releasing in April 2020 simultaneously in Japan, South Korea, and the United States.[1][2] The first season was produced by Telecom Animation Film, with Aniplex subsidiary Rialto Entertainment responsible for Japanese production, and Sola Entertainment providing production management.[2][3] The series premiered on April 1, 2020, on South Korea's Naver Series On and television network Aniplus,[4] and in Japan from April 2 to June 24, 2020, on Tokyo MX and other networks.[5][a] The season was directed by Takashi Sano, with Hirokazu Hanai as assistant director, Erika Yoshida in series composition, Masashi Kudo and Miho Tanino in character designs, and Kevin Penkin composed the soundtrack.[6] The opening theme song is "Top",[7] while the ending theme song is "Slump"; both performed by the K-pop band Stray Kids in Japanese, English, and Korean for the respective language dubs.

Crunchyroll streamed the Japanese broadcast of the series as a co-production under its "Crunchyroll Originals" label.[2][8][9] Viz Media licensed the series for home video distribution in North America and released it on Blu-ray on January 18, 2022.[10][11]

In August 2022, during their industry panel at Crunchyroll Expo, Crunchyroll announced that a second season was in production.[12] It is produced by The Answer Studio and directed by Akira Suzuki, with Kazuyoshi Takeuchi serving as chief director.[13] The season premiered on July 7, 2024, and airs in two consecutive story arc cours.[14] For the first cour covering the "Return of the Prince" story arc, the opening theme song is "Rise Up", while the ending theme song is "Believe"; both are performed by NiziU.[15] For the second cour covering the "Workshop Battle" story arc, the opening theme song is "Night", while the ending theme song is "Falling Up"; both are performed by Stray Kids.[16]
