I'm not sure which universe you're from where god eater wasn't universally reviled, but yeah. And no, an anime's job is not purely to successfully solicit consumers to purchase products, but to entertain. |

| For better or for worse video game adaptations are what they're known for because it's what put them on the map in the first place. Don't expect them to stop anytime soon, especially since nobody will bankroll such lavish productions for original IPs. In case it wasn't clear what I was referring to, UBW sold like hotcakes, and that was a video game adaptation. Also, God Eater is rated 7.56 on MAL, so although it was certainly not good, calling it "universally reviled" is, at best, an exaggeration. |

UBW is from Fate Stay Night, which is a porno game. While I'll admit it's probably one of the better porno game adaptations alongside Key stuff, it's still a porno game. And since when have MAL ratings ever been an accurate indicator of quality? Anyone who's been around for very long knows that they're a pretty useless metric of perceived quality. Look at the numbers behind that. Only 1/3 of the 157k people who started it have even marked it finished yet, and of that 157k, 8.5% (or 13k) have dropped it. Another 6.8% have it on hold, and the show is approaching a year in age, which says to me they probably aren't going to finish it any time soon. Bottom line- take your MAL scores with a salt shaker. Shake it a salt shaker |

On one hand, it might fix the story and characters, which I all disliked. On the other, it might turn into another God Eater which received an edgy overhaul. Thanks for the info. |

Emirius said: Edgy overhaul? Ifyou are talking about ep 10 of God Eater being AoT-ish. The funny thing is that episode was the best episode of the series Actually I was talking about all the episodes. The plot was pretty much remade (unsurprising really) but with increased edginess. Episode 1 already gave slight AoT vibes from the beginning due to the new MC's grudge against the aragami. |

Aot itself isn't a wholly original idea either, it was just so extraordinarily popular that it started a trend of anime, such as one before it. It also happened right at the height of the zombie craze and was almost perfectly timed for release to cause such a storm |

It may not be original but what matters for me is the entertainment I get from watching it. I also like the art style and animation. :D |
| Considering Bamco is pushing Berseria, the direct sequel (well, prequel, but you know what I mean) to this game now, it isn't really all that surprising that they're popping out an anime. |

| It's a pre-requisite for a Tales of Berseria anime. I hope. I just saw the latest trailer of that game and it looks so sick. Also lel, if F/SN is a porno game then technically speaking games like The Witcher 3 and God of War are also porno games. |

But f'real, let's not kid ourselves, it's a porno game. We all know they stuck those ridiculous sex scenes in it to sell more copies. At time when FSN was released, Visual Novels could barely sell without sex scenes. If you wanted to make a VN, you needed to have them, otherwise the risk of failure grows rapidly. Typemoon, which was a new company at the time, was not about to take the risk. Nowadays, they cut out the sex scenes from new releases. Not to mention that FSN's success as a story was one of main reasons why non-eroge VN's became a thing. With that all said, having sex scenes does not make something a porno game, unless you are a Mormon or some other fanatical Christian/Muslim who thinks that having a little sex in a story makes you porn. kronopy said: lawlmartz said: Did ufotable not learn their lesson with God Eater? ~~Video game adaptations are never a good idea~~~~ What is ufotable's problem?

They are more like novels. Regular video games are less often successful (and VN's themselves fail more often than not). Also, some like Gungrave sucked when they reached the parts from the game and shone when they weer in original material. |

Does anyone actually want this (Yes, I do recognize that these decisions are made entirely by men in suits, not consumer demand or lack thereof) Ufotable did the cinematic animations for Zestiria and God Eater and Bandai Namco has a long history of turning some of their video games into anime, so naturally when Bandai Namco wants to do that with a game that Ufotable was the animation studio for, Ufotable is going to be the ones to produce it. It's not like it's their idea. "Hey Bandai, you guys want this to be an anime?". It's the same thing with Shaft adapting Fate/Extra. They did the opening animations for the video game, so naturally they're the ones doing the anime. God Eater wasn't exactly a failure anyway. Besides the issues it had with delays, it was somewhere in the middle of average and above average. Zestiria looks promising enough imo. I enjoyed the 44 minute special they released a few years ago for it. Side note: Also, anybody that tries to call Fate/Stay Night a porno game is either trolling or, for lack of better terminology, fucking ignorant. I'm going to assume they're trolling because that level of ignorance is frightening. There's like 5 sex scenes between all 3 routes which equates to about 15 minutes of dialogue in a game that takes roughly 40 hours to beat completely. Yeah, definitely a porno game. I'll be sure to request that Steam add the "porno game" tag onto all of the games in The Witcher series then. |
