zero-r said: Z4k said: Also what's up with those slow motion and glitch effects lol? Slow-mo effects are fine, if done in moderation (especially for action sequences). No every single step/maneuver and bullet/blow dodge needs to use it though. There are some scenes in the series were slow-mo wasn’t really necessary. In my opinion, those types of “glitches” effects work better for horror-psychological series. Yes, it’s a cool effect, but I’m not sure why they are using them in here the way they are. They're keeping a tradition of every GE opening. All of them were done by ufo, and they used these kinds of effects. They're pretty awesome IMO, you can watch them on YouTube . I realize that what works for an OP doesn't necessarily works for an anime, but it's used mainly for the series's distinct style, not to enhance the scenes or anything like that. |

| I thought almost EVERY person here didn't used to the art style, so am I. I don't think it's very bad though, it could be worse... I'll watch the rest of it and decide if ufotable is actually "trolling" us this time... |
 |
| Generic as fuck MC... 3DCG ruined characters... But environment details are top notch... Somewhat interesting plot... 2.5/5 |
 |
| Awesome shit right there, this season won't let me down after all. |
  |
| I like it's animation style and introduction story Ofcourse it's not an original setting having watched Attack on Titans, Seraph's end or any other walled in enviroment |
| The art and animation are amazing. The CG is top tier ( compared to other anime using CG ). The story and characters... Well i won't judge yet, since it's only episode 1. It could go right or it could go wrong. The art is really good, it's original and is great quality wise ( As expected of Ufotable ). I've never played God Eater but from what i've heard it's kinda like Monster Hunter ? Monster Hunter pretty much has no story so let's see what kind of story God Eater has. I have expectations for this anime ( Because Ufotable, nuff said. ) but not as much as i had when i first heard of it ( Also because Ufotable ). |

Harem_King said: yeah, that's not really cgi.Is this supposed to be ufotables next big thing This was supposed to succeed the fate series Wtf is this trash I can't stand that cg Definitely not the worst ? It's actually one of the best art in any anime ever. The quality of that art is top tier. Now wheter some people like it or not it's their opinion, but one can't deny the quality of it. And yeah, like you said, most of it isn't CG. And the CG is some of the best in all of anime. |

| Actually, first episode was pretty bad, I dont know if its because I havent played the games but I didnt understand much about what was going on other than the mc wanting to destroy them all. The action wasnt even that good. |
 |
| This should be good since its ufotable. though the art is wierd. not the background (background art is cool) but character art seems like different from what usual anime is used to be. The plot seems nothing interesting. Let's see. 4/5. |
 |
| People giving Ufotable too much credit based on past shows like Fate. regardless of art style it just seems like another hack and slash show with a paper thin story. Will give this another week to improve. |

| Not bad. Not that good either. Or maybe my expectations were a little too high...? I'm not used to the art style/3dcg but it was ok. I loved the environment design. |

The colouring is horrendous, like how "sanzoku no musume ronja" does it. It's very flawed. There are other shows that do it well and are unique, like Knights of Sidonia, Aku no Hana and Blame but still can be interesting and coherent. |

But I do agree the humans in the anime look odd. |
| The character design are very distracting. If ufotable wanted to design them differently, at least don't fucking have a self-proclaimed modern abstract artist paint every single frame the characters are in. I can't complain on the scenery and the backgrounds as they are standard ufotable. As for CG, it's fucking CG - and I don't like CG all too much. Very disappointed, and to be honest, I just don't find it at all interesting as I can easily pick out a few things that are quite similar to other series and anime such as we've already mentioned numerous times: Attack on Titan and Monster Hunter. I've already seen something similar, I don't need another copy by an abstract artist claiming his shitty water paintings of people are top notch. I have not played the games or read its original work or whatever, but since its produced by the people who made Fate/Zero I'm sad as shit. |
 |
| i don't really find the art style that disturbing or anything but wow i was kind of surprised by how boring and dull the first episode was. i got so bored i almost fell asleep. (shame because i had huge expectations before watching this show lol) i think i'll watch the next episodes tho in hopes that it'll get more and more interesting. |

But I do agree the humans in the anime look odd. I liked both SnK's animation and this. In fact I love this; it fits the gritty atmosphere, just like SnK's CG animation fitted the sci-fi scene. To be honest after Ping Pong, there is no animation style that can get to me anymore. Apart from old anime. Can't watch that for long. |
| This artstyle and animation is one of the best I've seen recently. The combination of those shades and highlights makes the atmosphere look serious. The story is somewhere above average and interesting enough to watch it further. Also the 1e unite looked badass when they fight. 8,5/10 for me. |
| The direction is pretty damn hipster, all sorts of things I don't ususally see in anime. Art feels a bit awkward though, guess I just don't like CGI. Despite the main plot feeling generic it looks pretty serious and tryhard, wonder how this'll turn out. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I'm disappointed. The OVA was better. I see now why it was so boring: ufotable A complete failure at building any kind of suspense or intensity. Maybe it will get better when best-girl arrives. (I have my doubts though.) |

This God eater is really just a shitty source material if episode 3 sucks this should be forgotten along with Gyo. UBW lacks intensity too but at least its pretty colors . |
| Shitty characters, meh story, overall a very cringyworthy experience, would definitely enjoy this as a young teenager listening to linking park. |
 |
| This shit is terrible. Ufotable and Madhouse produced the worst animes this season. Both studios are so vastly overrated. God Eater and Overlord both suck ass. |

| I haven't even heard of the video game that this is based on, let alone played it, but since this is a new show that MAL has featured on the homepage for their new ability to stream, I figured I'd check it out. My first impression was that the artwork looked a little wonky, and maybe that's because it's CG. It's not bad, really, just different I guess. I've not seen a lot of anime, to tell the truth, but I've seen enough to notice different art styles. This is just a different style, not better or worse, but not really what I prefer either. As for the story, I felt thrown in the mix of things without knowing what the heck is going on. That could be because I have no history with the game, or perhaps it's done intentionally and the backstory is yet to come. Either way, I did enjoy what I saw, and would like to continue watching. The 1st Squad was awesome to say the least, and I look forward to seeing Lenka's skill and abilities develop. Good start. -- 4/5 |

Paulo27 said: royaldocks said: Does this look like the best anime ever for you? No? I thought so.We AOT now ? no it definitely doesnt look like clannad. |
waterflame said: This isn't CG, that's just how the character designs are. if that is so, it's horrible no way to talk me into liking this type of CG artwork. the story looks a bit too fast paced, unsure about what will happen, still only seen 1 episode but dont have high hopes for this one. |
 |
| Loved the OST... artstyle will need time to get used to. Loved the game so was looking forward to this. Decent start i guess... |

| Wow, not a very good first episode at all in my opinion. Hopefully it'll get better. |
| Can anyone tell me please which is name of the song that plays when Lenka runs out of the base ? . i got really hype in that moment :) |

I'm 99% sure you have no idea what "source material" means. Source material = original / where it came from I think its you who dont know what it means bruh |
| Dropped already, the best thing in the whole episode was the songs...the CG was bad. |
 |
| My problem with this show has nothing to do with the art... The plot just wasn't executed properly and because of poor pacing and bad characterization, I honestly don't give a shit what happens. I might watch another episode, but probably not. |
  |
| Good episode but not awesome, could have been better but yeah :D I still enjoyed it :) |
 |
| This anime is being criticized so much for it's art and noobs are mistaking it for CG when it's not (and doesn't look even close to it), but I thought the art was amazing. I couldn't get enough of this art style. I like that this has the unique look that it does. It's probably one of it's biggest draws for me and we're only one episode in but I can already say I'll probably enjoy the ride this series has to offer more so than any of the others I picked up for Summer 2015. Could end up being AotS for me (not like anything else has really stood out in this mediocre season anyhow). I'm not really liking the MC nor how cliche he seems to be, but I do hope we get more focus on Soma. Soma seems like a character that could make any show better. |
| Hmm that was ... interesting. Art style is different but not necessarily bad I think. Some good music in there too - OP fits super well. Seems somewhat like Attack on Titan with them being attacked and defending the walls and stuff. Though it seems like our MC is a "New Type" ... so his weapon can transform? :O Well the 1st unit seems really cool at least. Oh and Kouta (I think that's his name?) - ah his voice ... Fukube from Hyouka I believe :O Renka seems like the reckless dumb kind of hero ... who always has to save people :P I wonder about those scientists with the "new energy" and "Oracle cell" or whatever ... seems like they had a hand in this or something. Oh well, my friend said this show is really good, so I'll give it a shot~ |
