Broadcast Premiere of 'God Eater' Delayed by One Week

God Eater, originally scheduled to premiere on July 5, will be postponed by one week, according to an announcement on the official website. A special program titled God Eater Extra will air in the time slot instead of the first episode. The announcement reasoned that the project staff wanted to deliver a work quality that meets fan expectations.

An early screening of the first episode, originally scheduled for June 28 at Akihabara UDX, had been canceled last week. That episode is also scheduled for screening on the third day of Anime Expo 2015 in Los Angeles this weekend, but that is unlikely to occur.

God Eater is based on an action role-playing game of the same name released in 2010 on PlayStation Portable. Its adaptation is being animated by ufotable.

First Kekkai Sensen and now God Eater too? Damnit! >.<

While it's quite disappointing, I hope both Bones and Ufotable will deliver.

Delay usually means "expect bad animation, dropped frames etc." and not the other way around. I don't have any expectation from the anime.

Seems like ufotable wants to get this series out in a way that fans will be satisfied. They have quite a lot of work already under their belts..

Well, it's a shame God Eater will be delayed. Looking forward to the first episode premiere next week.

This cannot be a good sign right, its the first episode and there are already delays. Sounds a lot more like production issues.

Yep, lets expect the quality will drop in later episodes. Shirobako explained this kind of production issues.

That's what you get for scheduling anime productions non-stop since early 2013 through at least 2017.

They aced the Mirai Fukuin adaptation.
Then Fate UBW had some awful CG, and wasn't a great adaptation anyway.
God Eater's a-coming and obviously they hadn't had the time to prepare.
And once it's finished airing, they're on to Heaven's Feel. And god knows what else.

This is why people do one-cour breaks and don't go all year round.

I'd rather have the first episode delayed than right in the middle of the show because this way we won't be waiting on a cliffhanger at least

ufoable: Sorry guys, but we've already found out who is responsible for the disappointing incident, and he's been properly dealt with, and we've hired an amazing fellow to take the responsibility as our new production assistant for the rest of the series!


Now I can't wait to see the first episode.

I don't really mind, I'm going somewhere and missing all the first episodes of the new season (godammit why do they all come out on weekends), so I'm glad that I can at least watch God Eater right when it comes out, even if it's not one of the series I'm excited for.

Who was the dude who kept saying Ufo focused too much on God eater and put little effort on UBW?
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Hopefully this serves as a wake-up call for the Ufotable fanboys. Without that sweet Type Moon funding they're fucking nothing.

If you think Bandai Namco Entertainment has less funding then Type/Moon then you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. One was founded in 2000 and is just barely emerging from it's trappings as a doujin company that is largely just popular with Otaku. The other has been around since the 50's and is a multi-billion dollar publisher and developer with offices all over the first world and an actual stock exchange listing that has worked on franchises like the new Smash Bros and various other worldwide popular franchises like Pac-Man, Tekken, Dragon Ball Z, Tales of, and Dark Souls too name just a few and may in fact be the largest 3rd party game developer in Japan as of this time. No realistic or fair standard of comparison there at all.

It's not a matter of funding, it's a matter of scheduling.

I may not always agree with your opinions but it's tough to disagree with facts. Maybe Hongu didn't know Bamco is behind God Eater...

Anyways, I hope ufotable pulls it together. If they manage to pull off a quality series after all of this, that would be pretty impressive imo.
