I think the bigger questions are: Is this actually gonna cover the full story (no anime original stuff)? Is it gonna cover the Burst arc? (doubt it, maybe as OVA if it sells) Are these changes made because of GER (aka Eric lives in GER etc)?

PS. I liked UBW S2, just hated they kept stalling Archer vs Shiro (despite them seeing each other constantly). I have no standards

If only Kongou was that easy to kill in the game. Ridou and squad 1 with a great entrance. I actually like MC pretty well now that his voice seem serious. Was afraid they gonna give him a energetic male voice. If this does well I would love to see they Animate GE2. Would love to see Livie Collete in action.

Judging by the amount of hate this show is getting just by the very first episode, I think people should learn the difference between overhyped and overrated. By hey, that's what happens when netizens rely on buzzwords.


There are a bunch of words that could be used instead.

I am pleasantly surprised by the hate though, but I still fully expect this to be another "hype show".


Why though, it's not the pinnacle of all that is anime related to people nowadays in Fate Series so all it has to fall back on is it's own merits and shortcomings, something a lot of people aren't really sure how to face. It was always going to get mixed reviews at best which is what it looks like it's getting.

It's pretty hilariously obvious and you know that's exactly what's going to happen pretty much so why bother trying to ask people not too? That's only going to make them want to do it more because people love to be shit disturbers on anime forums. I just hate how people talk so presumptuously like FSN is the pinnacle of all anime related things for everyone and like this should just be accepted as common knowledge, but people have a lot of things they just take as common knowledge that they think everyone should have to agree to so whatever really. People are stupid and petty, news at 11.

I thought it was a pretty ok start. There were some stretches that felt uncomfortably slow but it is just the pilot episode so I am not too worried about that just yet. Seems like most people's problems with the show so far is coming in with the wrong expectations, mostly due to the studio that's adapting the series.

Why was it always going to get mixed reviews? I've seen so many posts claiming that God Eater was going to carry this anime season due to Ufotable and therefor its unavoidable connection with Fate in the eyes of the uninitiated. I fully expected another big hitter with the casual audience, especially with it being associated with Fate by proxy.

And I also think people bringing up Fate is stupid, but you must realize that it is unavoidable.

Like I said though, I am pleasantly surprised that this run-of-the-mill generic shounen isn't going to fly even with the casual audience.

The animation really sucks for me... Here I thought that the animation was going to be similar as Fate UBW(haters or not you got to admit it was awesome). Ufotable using those shitty CGI monsters is unthinkable and the characters seemed a little lifeless and stiff.

That was a decent first episode. The visuals and the animation looks pretty okay I suppose. The characters and the OST seems promising, though I'm not sure about the plot as it starts pretty slow for my liking. Hoping that the next episode would be better I guess.

I watched the episode, finally, and I did not once find the art style jarring (I didn't even notice CG except for the aragami which even then melded really well). I didn't think they overused slow-mo either. I thought it made scenes more epic and all instances of its use were well-thought (maybe the jacket one wasn't needed but I thought it looked badass). I also really liked he trained for most of the ep and didn't immediately go into it (like many shounen do).

Alisa best girl appears in next ep!

what's up with everyone hating the animation, it's different yes but is it that bad, it's quite enjoyable for me, really need more world building for just anime watchers only because i played the game full time, the change in MC is quite different, my Character in GE is not that Shounenish (haha)

For those who said it was FULL CG, you're wrong, the characters is DEFINITELY not CG, the Aragamis are made from CG but the characters looks shiny and all because of the lighting and shadows, I saw some H anime uses this kind of style and it definitely not CG.

If you watch God Eater 2 opening (game) you can see that they took they character design style based on that opening

Also for Lenka he is kinda exceed my expectations. I thought he was just another Naruto or any other hot headed shounen protagonist that only now to charged in a battle. But he seem to have some coolness and calm in him at time and he doesn't acting hot headed all the time

Story wasn't the strong point of God Eater so don't expect much. Generic MC? He was nameless and a silent protagonist in the game like Yuu Narukami from Persona 4, what do you expect? Infact, we can completely customize his appearance so everything about him depend on the player, he obviously won't have any backstory.

I don't know why Ufo decided to adapt this series but I think they can turn an average series into a great one.

I am dissapointed we didn't get to see the God Arc eat the Aragami, well we will probably it see next episode since I doubt the MC will kill it without devouring it.

I actually really like this art style, its different and unique, but the animation in some parts wasn't that great so it does take away from it a bit.

As well as that, I feel like they aren't incorporating their soundtrack to the best of their ability. Like there were some scenes where it was either too silent or the music that was playing wasn't loud enough. The music itself though is really good and fits this series really well.

It definitely has an SnK feel, but I'm gonna try and ignore that and separate it from the series and watch it as its own show. The way they do their preview is really interesting, how they just have text and voice overs, which i find more intriguing than seeing actual scenes. The opening seems pretty cool but not really anything that special. Either way, I haven't played the game and people have told me it's a good one, so I guess I'm pretty happy to continue this for a few more episodes.

Yep having a feeling this is gonna turn out like shit,just as i thought the stories never really seemed to be GE strong point so wasn't really expecting much (still didn't reach Chaos Dragon level of bad for the season).

People really bringing up Fate again huh... i missed the days when i only knew about ufotable from the tales games.


animation is quite jarring to look at but i said it before it looks great when nothings moving and the over use of slow mo jesus

I like the art syle. It's kinda lineless and semi-painting rather than usual hard cell-shaded anime style. Animation? As always ufotable doesn't disappoint.

Lenka is one of capable MC, but I'm sure he has problem on his own.
The story is alright, although the premise is overused, well nothing really stands out though.

Funny, people complaining and comparing God Eater to SnK and Owari when God Eater was released before both, it's the same as compare God Eater with Ergo Proxy.

I'm not surprised though because half of the MAL community follows only the trainwreck in all seasons and says it's good and says the other series are shit/rip-offs, don't even get me started with such wastes like Akame ga Kill and Aldnoah.Zero on this.

@topic: Using the 3 episodes rule, nothing to say atm.

People who played the game - what about main plot of it? Or anime's plot doesnt't have any connection with it? It kinda disturbs me.


Finished the entire game. So far, its basically an introductory episode and pretty much follows the game with the addition of a lot of extra scenes because frankly the game itself doesn't show much outside of the short cutscenes. They introduced some characters earlier but its a good decision. Eric only appeared for what? 2-3 minutes in the game?

Story-wise, there's actually not much to the game until the part where the Dyaus Pita appears. Even then, the entire game's story isn't exactly A-class material. The game focuses more on gameplay rather than story so the story is pretty generic. Story begins once Aegis Island is mentioned and they'll go into the main cast's backgrounds judging from the opening.

As for the main character, he was a silent protagonist so.... I have no idea whether ufotable will make him bland or actually give him a personality and backstory.

Great first episode, the focus was on the protagonist, Lenka seems to have a strong personality, I like protagonists thus, even so, it's a little hard to forget the image of Yuu as protagonist

I liked the animation style, some good action scenes were shown, I hope to see more battles and even more action scenes, I am also curious about the development of the plot, but for now I'm looking forward to the next episodes ..

So how long before the annoying beginning of the season, I gotta hate on every new show, people are gone? Same generic comments about how everything is generic, ect ect, ect.

I have to ask, what's so generic?
Why is it always, and I mean ALWAYS the exact same users posting these comments?

Anyway, art style is going to take some getting used 2 and the slowing down was weird but besides that, not to bad for a first episode.

Meeeh. Definitely hoped for less generic, but lets hope it gets better.

CGI-Monsters - what a horrendous idea :/

Double H-Sized booby-senpai completely ruined the tone the show was going for, lol.

The animation of the characters looks like Shinkai Makoto-style, just worse. Something about their texture that makes them feel inorganic with the backgrounds.

Those backgrounds and scene-transitions though. Eye candy!

I like the MC so far; driven, good-hearted, and have guts but not too cocky or naive. Seems competent but still has a lot to learn and can't just plow through everything with Marty Stu powers. He seems to be of the serious stoic type, which many people may not like, but that's just right up my alley.

ScienceGirl said:

The premise can't really be overused, its way too general. That's like saying, "High-fantasy setting? Too overused."

Besides, all these shows copied "Muv-Luv Alternative," which in turn copied another story before it. By this standard, I wouldn't be surprised if there are millions of stories copying each other with this "overused premise." If you're that bothered by something this minor though, suit yourself.

Idiots see their favorite shows/waifu/characters in everything. Shortly after FMA was released, anything that deals with a concept called "alchemy" was a FMA rip-off. Any chivalrous sword-wielding female knight is obviously a Saber clone. Okay, so the cases I'm thinking of for the 2nd example may actually be true but that doesn't necessarily mean that every blond female knight is a Saber clone.

I pretty much liked it. The animation was unusual but that's what kept me staring at my screen the entire time. The beginning was pretty slow though, and the episode ended with a cliffie to keep viewers hooked. I'd say it's 'okay' plot-wise. Hoping something new is brought to the table soon because I've been hearing from others that it's getting a lot of Owari no Seraph... SNK-esque settings from this show and it has only been one episode.

I liked the fact that the opening scene is the same in the game where you enter the training room and obtain the weapon.

No complaints about the animation, though I do hope they speed it up in later episodes.

I'm not going to expect much from the story. The New-Type God Arc Transformation was one thing I was waiting for, but if there's one aspect from the game that I'm going to be critical about:

They better make the "God Eating" look good. Don't screw this up ufotable!

Since this is a prequel to Gods Eater Burst, I'm enjoying seeing the characters from the game again! I'm really interested in seeing how this story plays out and how it will lead into the start of the game itself.

I don't usually pay too much attention to the art style, but I like the look of the anime and how it looks like a video game.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Honestly, I would watch a show for ufo rain. Seeing the "camera" work does kinda annoy me because I wonder what it would've been like if the paradox spiral guy did fate. The only reason ufotable touched fate is because they did an experimental, high quality project on kara no kyoukai and it went relatively successfully. People say it is good ufo is no longer type moon's bitch but type moon kinda needs a bitch.

I understand why most people disliked the first episode, I felt the same way when I saw its PV, but after rewatching it I got used to the show's unique art-style.

Btw, I thought Eric was gonna die again lol

As a person who played the English version of the game, it looks awesome, the only problem for me was the lack of music in some parts of the episode, don't get me wrong, its OST brought back nostalgic experiences, I just wish they could add more.

Looking forward for the next episode :)
