Rebelhero said: They made the visuals like that so it would look like a VIDEO GAME. You know, cause the show is based off one?! yeah totally, and anime based off of manga should start trying to emulate manga visuals. |
| Dandy, another story where the premise is hiding behind walls. Art and animation was pretty good, not sure why everyone is complaining. MC is generic, but this kind of character is not bad. Way better than another Shinji from NGE or Shirou from UBW. OST and action is solid. I predict I'll give this 7/10. This is what Gungslinger Stratos should have been. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| My game God Eater has an anime adaptation? Well shit, goodluck with that ufotable. The total cutscenes in the game doesn't even reach 1 hour if I remember correctly The game is all about the action!!!! Plots are just fillers. xDD |
| I loved it. can't wait for the next episode |

| Wow, that main character is a void of nothing. |
| This was really bland, zero exposition that wasn't flashbacks with dialogue between random characters. How about some actual character introductions instead of a fast forward to fighting and showing the "badasses" right from the start. I think enough has been said about the mediocre animation, just wanna say I agree. Honestly didn't expect anything more form this anyway. I'll probably skip it. |
Honoka is my Hero! Click Me! |
| This was okay I guess.. Art style is quite off-putting however it's not really a big deal. OST was great but the OP felt kind of weak for some reason. Didn't really feel like the action was good either, although the action in the OP looked pretty awesome so probably most things will improve. MC seems a bit generic although I like the fact that he isn't overpowered from the start. Overall kind of a 'meh' beginning but I think it's going to be a lot better. |

So true.... All this peoples hating an anime after 1 episode...Wtf? 90% of them are aot fanboys who are thinking that godeater is a copy...just Wt?The godeater game-production startet before aot so pls....go rage about aot and not about godeater.... Illgive the 1. Episode a 8/10 Because its "ufotable" they're expecting FSN Unlimited Blade Work or Kara no Kyoukai series quality and obviously they are going to compare it Im not sure but not everyone played God Eater so that understandable but that how game quality it is Have you seen GE 2 Rage Burst PV ? its a "ufotable" make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16TVwHBGvYg |

This is what Gungslinger Stratos should have been. What's wrong with Shirou? What is wrong I want to save people instead I will kill all the monsters/badguys? Wait he wrecklessly ran in to save someone, even though his superiors(people that know more than him) told him not to. Yea sounds exactly like Shirou xiety10 said: Because its "ufotable" they're expecting FSN Unlimited Blade Work or Kara no Kyoukai series quality and obviously they are going to compare it Im not sure but not everyone played God Eater so that understandable but that how game quality it is Have you seen GE 2 Rage Burst PV ? its a "ufotable" make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16TVwHBGvYg GE is available in the US, and it's a quick google search away... those people have no excuse lol |

| Pretty much what I expected.....which wasn't much considering the game's mediocre plot. I liked the art style and the part where Soma and the others appear, but less slow-mo pls. The OST was meh, only one I liked was the one that played immediately after the MC fired. And I honestly don't know what to think about Lindow smoking in the rain. MC is as generic as they get, can't wait for him to go bust more titans. What? He reminds me of a slightly calmer Eren! I'm just waiting for Alisa to appear, though she did "cameo" at the end, I guess. |
touchmon said: I didn't read the 9 pages, but did anyone else find it weird that NO ONE told Lenka that he was a New Type and what it means? He seemed so shocked when his weapon switched from sword to gun mode. -_- Like really now. Does anyone know how far this is going? I'm assuming it's only covering the "original" game with 13 episodes. Nope I didn't find it weird, especially since he grabbed his Godarc without permission and left. Weren't they saying it was barely even ready? Pretty sure they were going to explain it in his next training session but he jumped the gun. Probably only the original game, why might get into burst but that might be rushed. I don't remember how much story there actually is in the original anyway since the first episode rearranged the first 3 missions aka difficulty 1 anyway. |

I don't remember how much story there actually is in the original anyway since the first episode rearranged the first 3 missions aka difficulty 1 anyway. Oh true, I forgot about that. Still weird that no one told him, "Guess what, you are a fancy New-Type that can use both!" From what I remember, the original game was 6 or 7 ranks so I think that should be enough material. It's kind of weird that makes no appearance in the OP despite being a pivotal character to the whole thing. Although I guess the focus was on the God Eaters and Lenka's role. 6 in the original 10 with burst included, episode 1 covered all of rank 1 which introduces Lindow, Sakuya and Soma but given that it's the introductory rank without much story to it, I guess it wasn't hard to just introduce the entirety of Unit 1 in one go. Also who knows for the spoilers, maybe they didn't want to give too much away in the OP |

| Do people really have a problem with the MC that much for being boring and generic? I'm thankful he even had some layers to him and not a deadpan MC like Makoto Yuki from the Persona 3 movies (before anyone gets defensive, I effing love Persona 3, k? k) Did Shirou also get knocked? Yeah I'm not going to bother with that one, it's like beating comprehension skills into a senile old man. It won't accomplish anything anymore. So what makes a character NOT generic? An edge-lord? KamiCity said: That's what happens when people don't understand the definition of the word "generic" lol...

I usually skip such post typed on the spur of the moment that don't add much to the conversation. |
| i feel like if this was a madhouse production we would have had atleast something more pleasing to look at |
| This was kinda generic ?? Or I'm missing something? |

Takuan_Soho said: Genkii said: So what makes a character NOT generic? An edge-lord? An MC who isn't "I want to change the world, but don't have the ability" type character? Or the , "I am an average Japanese otaku but can attract all the hot girls in this world" type character (at least Rito, damn his otaku blessed soul, has a reason to have the greatest harem in Japan). In short, give me an MC whose merits attract the women, instead of a boring earnest hero. Funny because that was PRECISELY what I figured wasn't 'generic' to people who make these comments. Someone you can envy or wish you were. Basically someone relatable. To each his own. |

Frankly Fate UBW isn't exactly all that when it comes to storytelling either if I'm being quite honest. |
| Ugh. I can't believe I had high hopes for this series. Judging from the title alone, I thought it would be more unique with its action, fight scenes and pacing. Nope, super fucking generic. More generic than the aspirin I had to take because this series gave me a headache. The protagonist is generic as fuck. From his hairstyle, his somewhat cold personality, wanting to kill the titans... oops I meant gods. The interesting-looking characters were Lindow, Souma, Eric and that white-haired girl. Oh and Amamiya's tits. OST was okay, good but I've heard better. Animation was okay too, I'm trying to get used to the CG-esque design. Storyline is uber MEH. Character design even more MEH. Still, I'll give it a few more shots. I hope I don't drop it. I rarely drop series and see them until the end because I don't like investing time into something and not knowing how it at least ended. For me to drop something, it has to be HORRIBLE. I should've dropped No Game No Life but I listened to that pestering voice inside my head to keep watching and boy did I ever regret it. Still the only thing worth mentioning was that sick looking sword. I know there are better weapons out there but it was pretty awesome looking IMO. One of the few highlights aside from Lindow's team sweeping in and Amamiya's tits. TL;DR Characters, plot, pacing, OST were all MEH but I'll keep watching hoping it won't be a horrible Shingeki no Kyojin wannabe. |
| 臭い- |
| Holy shit that was hard to watch. The scene transitions and character introductions or lack thereof was pure shit. This was made to just look good, I'll give this a few more episodes but hugely unimpressive first ep. 1/10 |
リスト 。。 |
| lol, I'm actually curious on how many times the word Generic and Meh were used within the whole thread. touchmon said: Also, P3 <3. I prefer Minako/Hamuko/Kotone much more than Makoto. At least she had a more distinct personality. I wholeheartedly agree with this. |
Takuan_Soho said: KamiCity said: I think you should learn the definitions of generic characteristic of or relating to a class or group of things; not specific. KamiCity said: and cliche a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought. Well damn, I just defined the first episode. KamiCity said: Oh look at that, can't back up your arguments so you go and "try" to insult a fanbase.... typical No. As I said in my original post, maybe the second episode will prove the MC has more traction. But if we are only going on the first episode generic and cliched are the best words. KamiCity said: Even though you didn't answer his question, you do realize those characters are ALSO generic right? Yes, but at least they are fappable. I thought I was being perfectly clear on this point. Don't get your panties in a bind. I know this game is a monster game hit, so my comments were not to offend the game fans. But after the first episode I can't say that anything recommends watching the second (though out of respect for the gaming fans I will watch this to the third to give it a chance). Do you want to argue otherwise? If not, lets wait until the next episode, if it improves trust me, I will be defending this show (Mahouka would be an example, that took me 7 episodes, but I stayed with it out of respect to the readers). Alright understandable, I deleted my comment anyway since I realized you weren't trying to insult people. At first I thought you were another poster with the same old typical generic comments I see on this forum Also since you used the correct definition of generic, you used it incorrectly generic just means pertaining to a general group/class and not specific. All it means is that it can fit into a certain group in it's truest sense, every story ever written is generic, as is every character. There are only 4-7 plots a story can fall under, and only like 10 character archetypes a character can fall under. Which is why I get annoyed of people using the word generic, most people don't understand what it means. As far as cliche goes, it's pretty hard to argue that everything is not a cliche... if you read plenty of scifi books every new one is cliche'd to you, if you read horror stories, same. The only thing that is original in this world are real life experiences, every story no matter the format is a cliche. If you're saying "generic" and "cliche" are the only ways to describe the character, all it means is that you are using a "generic" and "cliche" description, because in the end you made no effort in trying to explain yourself. |

| Would've been nice if they used Over the Clouds for the OP. CG doesn't look that good, and the animation looks surprisingly stiff coming from ufotable. The action scenes seem to be handled decently I guess. Having played the game, it could've been better, but it's okay for a game adaption. I'll see where this goes. |
KamiCity said: If you're saying "generic" and "cliche" are the only ways to describe the character, all it means is that you are using a "generic" and "cliche" description, because in the end you made no effort in trying to explain yourself. You're right, I think the root of the problem is, most people just can't relate or identify themselves with Renka. When you watch/read something, the MC has to be someone you can imagine yourself being, and place yourself in their shoes for the immersion. Their wealth, status, power and even how many girls want his **** etc. Renka may be 'unrelatable' in some peoples eyes, but I think he was at least cartered well to the Japanese audience where it mattered most. We Westerners don't click well with this archetype (some of us do of course). Yes I do know that we are making such a folly judgement about a MC we hardly gotten the full story out of. (lolep1) Kefkiroth said: Would've been nice if they used Over the Clouds for the OP. A THOUSAND TIMES YES |
| This was an absolutely average episode. Typical monster hunting shite with nothing interesting. Only the artwork stands out. OST is mediocre. Meh, shouldn't have tried this. Oh well. |

| You know it's times like these that I wish Fai was here to clear up all these comments about "generic" and "cliche". |
