Am I the only one who actually liked the game. Granted that the antagonists are a bit lackluster. Also obligatory still no Xillia adaptation?

Looks pretty good though. Kind of curious how new VA for Lailah will sound.
Here is to hoping its 24 eps!

God Eater anime story was not ufotable's mistake.
It was never possible, God Eater as 12/13-episodes anime, in the first place.
It was a good game story, but turning that into anime was a different thing.
Lenka just cannot fill the hole real human players left via Yuu.
But that's ufo's decisions and choices they are okay with.
And they don't keep with the schedule at all, God Eater.
That's their fault.
Ufotable is an animation studio, and they're the type to make sure their animation is on-point.
Then why are their last two series (god eater except for art style) so creatively dead?

Because unless it goes 24 episodes, there's just simply no way to keep the story intact.
And this is one of those story that will turn s*** if it's not intact.
Don't worry, as Ufo showed with God Eater, they are perfectly okay with shitting on the story and making bad story even worse, as long as they meet the deadlines. That one literally ended midway through the story with a lot of things changed for worse.
Ufo overall does not care for story or quality as long as they get the money from the game companies funding the adaptations, meet the deadlines and make their corporate overlords happy.

That's why those overlords choose them, you know?

Also, I'm so hyped since UBW is one of their best works to date. God Eater was decent but not their best work, though I'm willing to forgive them if they do a great job with this.

Well, assuming they'll use the same story:
- As a game, the first part of the story was decent but the second one fell flat, even though the second part actually had more potential than the first part.
- As an anime, the plot is s*** and I think the anime will probably turn s***, too.
Actually, I think those who haven't play the game yet be better off watching all the Shippuden fillers, instead.
Because unless it goes 24 episodes, there's just simply no way to keep the story intact.
And this is one of those story that will turn s*** if it's not intact.
Meanwhile, while probably won't have as many new features as Zestiria, Tales of Berseria already looks like a much interesting game to play.
Really hope that will also get an anime adaptation, one day.

Not holding any hopes for this considering its adaptation of worst game in series and Ufo already shitted their pants twice with god eater and ufo ubw.
The only question is - will Ufo take a bad game andmake it worse just like with God EateR?

Count me in on this!

Ufotable is a bit of a gamble. Hopefully it's 2-cour, as 1-cour is always a miss when it comes to video game adaptations.

Pretty good staff line-up in both the VA and the Staff departments. As I said in the series board, please fix the consistencies and awful pacing that the game had.
The anime features an alternate and original story from that of the game, with reference from Tales of Berseria. It is adapted by incorporate studio, Ufotable, directed by Haruo Sotozaki and an airdate is set for summer 2016. The opening theme song will be sang by FLOW, who also sings the opening theme song for Tales of Berseria.

Character voice overs will be changed to an extent. Miyu Matsuki, voice of Lailah, had passed away a while after the western release date (2015) for the game. Her replacement voice actress is Noriko Shitaya.
