I like everything, excpet not much about the Art Style!

BUT!!! That is also what i said to God Eater, and it turned out being very Unique,and suited the whole anime of it. Sooo, i hope it turns out the same when i watch it!

I like the idea but not quite sure about animation style. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to it :)
