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 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

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
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

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.

OP by OLDCODEX and the soundtrack are decent. The art style's unique and looks good, although I'm not for those types. Honestly couldn't catch what was going on for the second half of the episode, but it seems interesting for now.

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.

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.


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.

This episode was bad. The animation is horrible. I know this an adaption of the game, but still - this should be an anime and not a weird hybrid. Didn't really enjoy it. I'm not gonna watch the anime.

Why didn't the episode have a credit list for the seiyuu? Is this one of those weird ones where that list is in the OP instead? I just want to confirm that Licca is played by Omigawa Chiaki in this one but all I can find is that she played her in a game.

Where are you credits? -.-

Okay, thank god Anime News Network is more up to date. :)

Ayyy I remember playing this game on my PSP years ago, seeing some familiar characters feels a little nostalgic but I don't really remember anything else about it.

The art is different but in a good way I guess, I'm actually already used to it. Can't wait to see some more.

Also this is a video game adaptation. Everyone here expecting "unique" a la Mushishi or LOGH need not apply.

For what it's going for, it's already doing pretty well. Imagine if it's the reverse and they adapted FSN when it didn't have the notoriety going for it. You guys would be complaining about "generic action, generic story, generic characters etc."
no one is expecting unique and this and that

they were just expecting a good anime...idk why its so hard for ppl to understand

Its been so long since I've played God Eater Burst so seeing the old cast again was quite nostalgic! The animation style is definitely different, but I think it fits.

I was quite worried about how they would handle the protagonist since he a customizable avatar for the player and pretty much mute for the entire game, but Renka seems to be alright so far. Judging from the flashbacks he has, he probably has some sort of background?

Also, I don't think people should really have high expectations for the story. This is an adaptation of a hunting-style game like Monster Hunter. The story bits were there to ease the flow from mission to mission. Its your typical shounen save-them-all type of story.

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.

Actually more ufo like, they have been doing OPs in this style for God eater and tales for ages.

I didn't hate nor like this episode. The MC doesn't remind me of that hardheaded over emotional brat, Eren. So I'm okay with him. The monsters being CG is okay. They look better than the ones in Rokka(wtf were those?). The character designs are okay. The OST is okay. The OP doesn't even compare with the Rage Burst OP, at all...
