I am kinda dissapointed. I expected more from ufo...
Is this the show they were saving their budget and the F/Z team for...?
And what's with the Artstyle? So un-Ufo-like...
I expected atleast F/SN-like Artstyle/Animation...

On the Positive side, it doesn't feel like i am watching a game like most game-adaptions feel.

The funny thing about this show is I knew it was doomed the second it became clear that it was ufoTABLE trying to adapt something without the whole Fate Hype thing to cover for it in the long run. At least there's ufoTABLE this season that won't be full of threads of source material fanboys trying to police opinion on it.

Honestly though people really need to learn to check their expectations and not assume certain things because a studio worked on some mega hyped visual novel thing just recently that frankly isn't even all that if you aren't a total fanatic of said franchise. I kin of just expected big dumb video game action and that's kind of what I got here. Story is not one of God Eaters strong points, it's a beer and popcorn kind of hack and slash action game with cool looking characters and larger than life fights.

Probably more to do with wishful thinking. Archer could have just murdered every mage from 10 miles away and ended the grail war in episode 1. In a lot of ways it was a pretty painful Pokemonesque ride.

To those disappointed by the animation for not being the usual ufotable, have you seen any promotional videos for this? At all? There's no reason to have expected the type-moon art style if you have lol.

Err I don't like to this but, I just want to remind you guys this is why it is called a "discussion" or a "forum", not a "comment" section.


Sorry, but how does that make any sense? Debates happen in forums all the time and it can get real ugly to the point of YT comments crap. It's the nature of the internet.


In one perspective, yes it doesn't make sense. But I'm talking about the other, which is the purpose. Forums are made so that people can discuss and argue. If you want to only post your opinion without someone arguing, then the comment section is the right thing for you. But hey, as you said, people argue everywhere. There's no ethic at all. Even Yahoo! Answers have them where you're supposed to give "answers" without someone arguing about your answer. Experienced this firsthand.

Well then. Change comment to review. There, no one would be able to argue with you and you can give your opinion 100% free.

It looked pretty consistent to me to be honest. If you can point out specific scenes, then that would be nice.

But my original point is about the art style. I think there is some misplaced disappointment going on here.

Pretty bland first episode they didnt spend any time explaining what was going on and just jumped straight into the anime had i not read the summary on mal i still wouldnt have realized wtf is going on.

Characters were pretty uninteresting apart from the 1st unit guys who showed some promise. The mc was particullary bad.

Animation is good apart from how people are animated cause apart from that the animation was ok but the humans just look ridiculous.

The story is pretty boring and as i already said it would have been nice to have some explanation as to what is going on.

The soundtrack was pretty good

What were people expecting from this anime? I see great action, pretty girls, good visuals, and a straight forward plot. I see nothing wrong here. People need to get off their high horses, not everything has to be as deep as Monotagari or something. It's an adaptation of a video game after all, give it a chance.

Anyways, so far it's ranked pretty high so I suspect it's just a few negative nancys here, while most people are actually liking it.

Paulo27 said:
Blame Fate for not selling, ufotable is poor now and can't make good looking anime because of Fate, ugh.


You got to be fucking kidding right?

Fate's first cour sold over 40k units, on top of that it was priced pretty damn high.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/04/02/fatestay-night-unlimited-blade-works-1st-blu-ray-box-set-tops-weekly-sales-chart
That article is when it first came out, but it has sold more since then. As for the second cour, I bet it will well have very similar numbers.

It has sold perfectly well, they've made so much money off of Fate. Money is not an issue. I believe you may have gotten your information from Fai, but he spouts off nonsense to try to undermine the UBW anime because he hates it so much. It sold great and that's a fact.

They went with a different style with this anime and that's fine, doesn't mean it's automatically shit. Also they did use a lot of their resources on Fate (and are still using them on Heaven's Feel), but even then, it still looks great. CGI hates, get the fuck out of here. This actually some damn good CGI in terms of anime standards.

Um no because the visual novel has been out for over a decade. The anime was promoting the anime, the VN has already sold well and will continue to sell well.

I'm curious on what people were actually expecting from this anime.

It's based on a game and a sequel is coming out. So it's prime product placement but the anime is giving some good animation, interesting art style, different =/= bad, and some solid action.

What's not to like if one goes in with the proper expectations and knowledge.

I'm not a fan of this artstyle. But I got used to it.

Lol at people calling the character designs CGI. They are all hand-drew. The color is what makes it seem different.

I really like Hirao directing style. The slow-mo and scene switching are really unique.

Not a bad 1 ep.

Ok, maybe I was a bit overreacting, now it seems more like it's because of the different lighting xd
The part in the rain looked nicer than the rest to me

but there are still some scenes that felt very out of place too me and where breaking the immersion, like this one

You don't need to tell me that, I'm a huge Fate fan here.

And pretty much every anime ever created is advertisement for the original source material, but it's also promoting itself too. In UBW anime's case, it didn't need to promote the Fate spin offs or anything because the Fate brand is so strong it will sell well no matter what. The UBW anime was promoting itself, thus why so much effort went into it and it paid off because it did sell well. And probably because of the UBW anime, it promoted spin offs and other Fate things indirectly, that wasn't its main goal though. That's more of a plus.

The God Eater anime however is directly trying to promote the game and it hopes that the anime sells well too, but promoting the new game is the main goal.

You see what I'm saying here?

This was pretty cool, but they're not adapting it that well. Changed story events, rushed events, virtually zero lore explained. I mean I like it because the pace makes it not boring like some parts of the game, but those who haven't played the game are probably confused right about now. It's a cool universe and setting, hopefully ufotable will delve into it more.

Ahaha it sounds like almost none of the people who started watching this knew what they were getting into and ended up having their expectations betrayed. It seems to me that all the hype stemmed from not looking up the source material. God Eater by no means has a great story, it was serviceable enough between all the grinding in the game. Even if it's ufotable there's only so much they can do while adapting an average story. Looking up what God Eater is in the first place would also help out with all the ignorant AoT/SnK clone accusations. Having played God Eater Burst years ago I find this to be pretty cool but in the end it's just a shounen adapted from an action game. Nothing groundbreaking, really.
