huh, go to respond to the god eater thread and the god eater banner comes up. What are the chances?

Anyways, I thought the art and animation was surprisingly ugly. The animation looked really choppy while the art looked like low grade cg. I got kind of used to it near the end of the ep but even then it was still a bit jarring. I expected more from ufotable. That might just be me though, of course some folk may like the 'style' I dunno.

I'm willing to bet a lot of people are going to be (if not already) comparing this to attack on titan. Honestly I never saw it (unbelievable I know) but I bet this was released in an attempt to ride on that anime's success.

While I did play the game this was based on, I can't say I ever finished it. It was more or less a monster hunter wannabe from what I recall. Here's hoping the anime at least ends up being less tedious and repetitive than the game was.

I'm not sure, but it almost looks as if the whole show is done in cgi but set to a really low frame rate to look more like traditional animation.

So the mc is a dumbass who ignores orders when he feels like it, rushes into battles without knowing how to use his equipment, and acts recklessly when any other people are in danger.
I know as far as this story goes he's gonna be the guy who saves the world or whatever, but really guys with hero complexes like him just get themselves and people around them killed acting the way they do.
I think I liked it better in the game when the main character was a mute with no personality, at least compared to this.

It's kind of ironic that the first line in ep 3 was exactly what I was thinking about this anime.

Holy shit that was jarring. They went into traditional anime style for like two seconds out of nowhere. Why can't the whole series be like that instead of looking like some shitty cgi rotoscoping hybrid garbage?

Also, I don't remember Alisa Being so Asuka like in the game. From what I recall she was just kinda distant, didn't talk much, and kept to herself. She sure has heck didn't show up ridding on top of a jumbo jet under attack from a ridiculous amount of enemies while bringing with her an reasonable attitude problem and a superiority complex.

There's all number of things wrong with this particular scene I think.

1. I get the town is packed, but the human race here is on the brink of extinction. Am I to believe these guards are so lacking in humanity and compassion that they're willing to gun survivors down just for trying to seek refuge?
2. There should be plenty of space for new arrivals after that last battle. Just has the new guys help remove the bodies and rebuild the houses.
3. Only people who are capable of becoming god eaters and their families are allowed to live there? Then why was that guy's mother so surprised that her kid became a god eater?
4. Those guards didn't look like god eaters. same for the people in command. In fact I've only noticed a relatively small amount of god eaters compared to the amount of housing/people shown. I think it's safe to say there's plenty of non-god eater related work for people to do.
5. Does this mean the people on that plane got this same kind of treatment? I would think Alisa would flip her shit if they tried to reject any of the people she saved.
6. Why didn't Alisa say anything about these people getting rejected and being essentially sentenced to death after the way she acted with that whole plane thing? See this is why they should have left her personality the way it was in the game and not included that whole anime original cargo plane intro.
7. In the game, Non-god eaters made a town outside of the city walls. Obviously that was removed just to create this exact same type of drama in this adaptation, but even so it seems like the natural course of action for people turned away to form a camp nearby. As it was pointed out in the game, even if they're not getting supplies from the town they're still getting some retroactive protection from the god eaters just by being in the area. It's a better alternative than the much more dangerous wastelands.
8. They said there was nothing MC could do for them, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to just sneak them in, or get Alisa and Sakuya to run their tits in the guard's faces and convince them to let the people pass, or threaten them if that doesn't work. I doubt some random guards would want to fight god eaters after all.


Only reason I haven't dropped this show yet is I already dropped so many other shows this season and had nothing else to do.

haha oh wow. That Aragami was totally fucking with him. This show sucks but that scene was hilarious.

Shouldn't the rapidly dropping survivor count cause some sort of concern? They were being rather nonchalant there.
