THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Welp, Alisha debuts in action and I do admit that she is kinda awesome.

However, the story still feels blend as hell. Hope we can get some story mechanics going. The action looks nice on paper though in terms of execution along with the action.


I kinda lol'd at her headlock.

To everyone: Only GE players will probably stick with this, the game didn't have THAT great of a story (it was a Monster Hunter genre game after all), I think the total cutscenes was only around 2-3 hour?.

The huge ass aragami gave me goosebumps, that was a pretty huge moment.

I'm gonna say that i like Lenka better than Alisa in this episode, don't know, he stole the show a bit. Don't really trust the hype for Alisa atm, she was kind of bland.

We got ourselves a nice little rivalry between our two New Types and I like it a lot...Great action all around in this episode

I expected to end up loving Alisa and I'm glad to see that my expectations, especially the ones I made last week we're all met. This girl is pretty damn badass and her use of her God Eater was really impressive but what I ended up liking the most were her ideals

I can't take anything away from Renka and Lindow either because they both had badass moments and I'm really glad to see that Renka used Alisa as a guide as how to use his God Eater and that he ended up learning how to use it really well

That giant Aragami at the end tho O_O And those scientists really fucked up too (I won't be surprised if they are responsible for the creation of super or those giant Aragami's). OST was epic yet again and the animation maintained it's quality

Overall, great episode, Alisa FTW

Yes, they are going to air a special related to this series next week. At least going by the episode title, episode 4 should be more story focused than action.

Renka getting owned by Alisa was the best part. From the headlock, to the roundhouse and a powerful bash to the shoulder to beat him down.. Pretty hilarious!

Out of context, this looks like.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Action was decent, I guess. But the plot is still at an insipid stage. The brief focuses on the scientific lab seem interesting, but no idea where the researchers are going with the experiments. Personally, I'd like to see more than just the main leads encountering the Aragami(s) and emerging victorious. Would God Eater be able to deliver that, or eat away at their current pace?

Okay now we're talking. Loved this ep the most til now. Dat Aragami at the end was HOLY SHIT Huge O_o Eat that bitches lol

Lenka impressed me a lot. He's quite the fast learner. I wouldn't say he's on Alisa level but he definitely surprised her.

Loving Alisa way more than I thought. She's not only BA owning while upside down but she's pretty nice it seems.

Dat Chokehold! Dat roundhouse kick. I wanted to be Lenka there...

I could feel the sexual tension when they hit eachother's backs

Loved the double Zura Gin way slash. BA

Animation was no where near Fate level. I've seen much better animation by MH, Mappa and Production IG.

Do the makers of this show understand or even know what is sense of flow, urgency or energy? I'm talking not only the script, but also the presentation, because this is one big fail, the characters are inorganic and bland, action is stale and no ups and downs, the monsters are incompetent as hell, the camera works aren't creative and sometimes just inappropriate and confusing, some of the animation especially the facial expression are just down right awkward and monotone. What a waste of digital ink.

Good to see the they fixed the bugs with player on MAL.

Blown away my the sea artwork in the first few seconds Its really impressive.

This ep had more of a "Has science gone too far?" feel to it than a AoT or something. Pretty standard explanation of where the aragami came from.

I wonder if theyre will ever be a fight with that huge aragami and whether this series will focus on survival or wiping out the aragami

agree. Am a GE player, so I'll stick around to see how they deal with it... action scenes for this ep was okay, excitement level will probably get amped up when they deal with bigger dudes in the future eps.

UBW was pure hell. mindnumbing,soulcrushing 15 minute monologues was just the tip of the fucking iceberg. they fucking ruined it.

How slowly was that plane flying? It had 8 engines, no cargo yet it was flying so slow that they could stand on it. It also happened a few kilometers up in the sky so it must be quite cold up there. How did her hat stay on when she did like 5 backflips but flew off when she softly landed? Why were they were thinking about a plan slowly when outside was full of weird flying creatures that were trying to eat the plane?
I know that this is an anime that is based on a video game but my mind can't cope with this

I really liked the flashbacks.
The weapon transformations were kinda cool i guess...

Some decent action. Alisa and Lenka are gonna be a nice tag team since they both are new types. I'm glad The team didn't force her to go with them and sacrifice the wounded.

That aragami thing looks frightening. Man I hope they fight it one day

Best episode so far. Alisa was awesome. Lenka didn't act like a generic shounen MC and actually contributed to the fight by thinking than screaming like an idiot. The fight was really amazing especially the camera angles and the fluidity in motion. Also Lenka and Alisa's indirect competition was really hilarious along with the armlock by Alisa LOL.

The plot is still moving at a slow pace. Most of the episode was the action. I wonder if they are thinking for a second cour in 2016. It was a HUGE improvement over the last episodes. Hope the plot will progress more along with some character development in the upcoming episodes. Hope it gets more interesting with the upcoming episodes. It's a good anime but not mindblowing or unique.

I don't play GE. But I still think that this is a good series. I've seen so many anime series but I don't consider this as mediocre.

WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THIS? I mean, why can't people appreciate its beauty? Just because people aren't used to this kind of coloring/animation doesn't mean it sucks. Plus, it has only been 3 episodes. What's with the hate? I'm really confused.

I think the characters are what's putting this show down. I love almost everything about god eater except for them, which is not really good given that the chatacters are what make or break a show for me. I still have hope though, it's only been 3 eps
And that opening scene with the ocean was something else *.*

1) Disappointment from people because they saw Ufotable and expecting Greatness.

2) Anti '' best anime studio'' Ufotable circle jerk

3) Shit story and bland characters so far

4) people tired of another Black bullet , Aot , Seraph in a short space of time

5) God Eater players hyping it up

Any of the factors I mentioned (this does not apply to me all but generally why its hated)

If you have a thing for being beaten, like the last sentence suggests, maybe for you.

So far she seem to be of the obnoxious self-important type, but at least she can deal some damage to whatever.

1) Wasted time the first 2 episodes (training that wasn't training, being imprisoned that meant nothing - 20 minutes together),
2) Stupid harem level fanservice here (in a midst of a battle, with hundreds of monsters coming, he first does a Rito face plant, and then they fight over it - I don't mind fanservice, but that was beyond cliched),
3) The fact that the MC has an ascension without us knowing why or how,
4) The extreme lack of emotions in all the characters.
5) Bad dialogue.

As for appreciating beauty, the art is not that amazing. It has a different style and deserves props for that, but this isn't first tier animation by any definition. The nose rectangles alone show this.

Also, the show really doesn't follow any logic. Given how easily the monsters breached the walls the first episode, the human race should have already been dead, same with the fact that they can fly (which if the titans could do would be an equal plot hole) and attack en mass. Now maybe they are being attracted to the New Types and this is why the attacks have ratcheted up, but that explanation makes no sense with how the flying monsters completely ignored the helicopter with a new type on it.

Now, I am not faulting anyone for liking the show, tastes differ. But if you are going to say people don't have a reason to think this show is, well not bad, but worse boring, I will beg to differ.

Enjoyed this action-packed episode. Nice fight scenes.
Alisa's just as awesome as I expected her to be.


Glad Lenka did a lot better in this fight than the previous one.
He's a quick learner and I'm looking forward to seeing more of these 2 working together.


The huge Aragami at the end though. Holy shit.
Probably only a matter of time before they have to fight that thing.

Well she attacked him because she thought he's gonna force her to leave with them and leave the injured passengers. So it was technically self defense. Why wouldn't she be nice? She wanted to save all those inured people instead of leaving them to die.
