I guess that was alright. I'll keep watching for now.

That ED is great too except for all the terrible engrish.

Not to mention that UBW S2 won't drop until October. Some people are just ignorant and don't research.


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.




Keep telling yourself that.

Impossible

Some fate fans blame God eater for fucking up UBW second cour


God Eater had nothing do with anything. UBW 2 didn't meet fan expectations because of bad writing, not because of visuals. C'mon now people....

This was amazing! The animation was great. People are crying because it isn't the thing that they expected to be. I like the OP. The story seems interesting. For the people crying about how boring this seems, this is just the first episode. The MC is a good one. And the VA's are well chosen!! :D

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.

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.

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.

Diggin' the artstyle. The choreography is interesting and the characters are as well (with the exception of Lenka). Anyway, I like how this is an adaptation of a video game. Most, if not all, video games become hard to adapt and become a trainwreck, so I'm looking forward to see how ufotable executes this one.

Just because ufotable is behind this, don't expect Fate 2.0

It's unique, which I love. The character art and the detailed backgrounds definitely clash, but I really like it. I think the second pic you posted looks so good. It faintly reminds of the of Bastion/Transistor art style.

A decent start, the episode picked up more toward the end when Lindow's unit showed up. I'm not super impressed but it's only the first episode. I like Lindow and Soma though, they seem pretty cool

I rewatched it, and now it looks much much better. The close-ups are much better, and look very stunning. On the other hand, it looks very cringe-worthy when you view the characters from afar. The action is also great, and I like the track that played when Lenka blasted that Kongou away.

I think people should try the 3 episode rule before dropping, just to see if they can adapt to this art style. It looks quite normal when you get used to it. Also, too much fate fans on this thread.

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.

The art style is not really to my taste but it looked decent in places. Story seems very similar to Attack on Titan. The story so far is generic hack. slash and shoot em. I will stick with it in the hope it gets better.

I don't think this will be the great show everyone was hoping for.

Everyone is just having a hangover from watching SNK or F/SN UBW. It's high time that you get sober people. They're doing a good job for a GAME adaptation.

laidellent said:

It's unisex. You choose your gender during character creation. There's actually a canonical protagonist which is a male, Yuu Kannagi and Aki Tamashiro for female but the game's other versions allows you to create your own character. There's more detail here: http://godeater.wikia.com/wiki/Protagonist_%28God_Eater%29 since my explanation is rather confusing.

Very basic first episode for this type of anime.

Introductions,newbie MC has goal to exterminate as many Aragami as possible,defies order from higher up,witnesses shocking horrors of battle zone,Best squad appears to save the day,MC goes something impressive to distinguish him from the rest/show he has potential for greatness.

But despite being a basic start I quite liked this so far.

The plot is really bear bones. It's like Monster Hunter. Somewhat of a shallow plot just to complement the monsters.

A pretty decent start. The unique art style will definitely take a few episode to adjusted to it, but I'm sure it will be fine.

The 3D CGI along with the more traditional animation was good, but at times there was a lack of smoothness with character movements and certain scenes where the character art style didn't fit with the background design. Hopefully ufotable can improve this as time goes on.

The MC has potential, not being wimpy or wringing so much. He just goes with his gut instinct and goes for it. He'll probably be powerful come the end of the series I presume.

At first I thought, this show is all bark and no bite, but I take back even having that thought pass through my mind. This first episode gave me Goosebumps for a large portion of it. The music was was perfect, the art was different, the characters looked badass, their weapons looked even more badass. The slow motion parts were badass. This whole first episode was badass. Thank god I have something to look forward to on Sundays.

Dat inconsistency in style. Wow. And this is the fist EP, makes you wonder what the rest are gonna be like...

Unimpressed with the their failing to take full advantage of how well the 3D and that particular artstyle go together. I actually really like the main artstyle but I think it's one of those things that work better as either stills or with lots of movements, this weird in-between thing they do with drawn animation and CG is awful.

Unimpressed with the BG art. Same inconsistency problem. It's particularly glaring when the same office or whatever is so much more well drawn in a scene like 5 mins before and suddenly from a new angle it's shitty CG all over.

Unimpressed with the characters. Didn't expect much. Didn't get much. It's not as bad as I thought actually. MC could have been far more annoying.

Music was meh.

Plot has some potential depending on what they decide to focus in on. I've not played the game so I'm going to keep burying my head in the sand and wishing for the best re: plot.

I liked the water droplets and about 40% of the art though. I hope it rains every episode. Nice rain. Good rain.

In summary: I was watching this hoping for nice shiny art and sweet fight scenes but I guess that's a no-go. Will watch a few more eps to see where the plot goes and how insufferable all the MCs become.
