Guys that can't watch CGI will lose out slightly in the future. Probably there will be more anime adapting the CGI workstyle. Not every day is a Sunday boys.

I don't think the problem was the CGI here really, more like poorly drawn characters quite often and the animation being choppy as hell tbh. I mean if all the complaints were actually about the CGI (which is only for monsters I think, characters should be cell shading) then I'd lol honestly

Interesting OP, interesting art style and animation, the story and characters seem meh so far, especially that main character. The main character is just so generic, but I could be wrong, it is only episode 1

Damn that was horrible but I'm gonna continue on watching just for that Slav chick's underboobs. So much for the next big ufotable thing, huh? 3 episode rule.

Just got to suck it up and watch and adapt to it. Luckily I'd watched Sidonia beforehand so I'm able to adjust to this art.

Good thing plenty of shows, movies, and games, unlike God eater, do know how to pull off good CGI.

I can't believe some of the posts here (Okay, I do. This is MAL after all...)

Yeah, this isn't Fate 2.0 and the animation is a bit worse which I sense some outsourcing to Koreans in a few scenes.

And yes this is definitely an SNK clone...if it weren't for the fact that the source game came out before /sarcasm

inb4 "they're just cashing in on the SNK fad hurr"

Ranting aside, I wish they opted for the female MC route instead of the male. Would've been closer immersion to my game counterpart.

I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed.

no i dont expect a fate 2.0 but i do expect some lvl of quality...im not ignorant to the studio and i know they have made other ovas and other stuff that may not be on par with fates quality but its still good....but this is just a try hard show....the amoung of shading or shadowing or whatever effect they used makes it feel like a CG show.

im not saying this has to be anywhere similar to fate but im saying as their next big anime i would think they would try something new...they arent a studio that really adapts much tv series so i thought this was their break from the stigma of only make the fate series good.

sad to say this but i havent enjoyed a ufotable work since Knk
To be fair I've been seeing a fair share of "God Eater = next Fate" buzz/hype recently, so my comment was more in general as well. Being completely honest I didn't have much interest in this show to begin with and this thread is only reinforcing my decision to skip out on it. I won't lean either way without watching it but yeah a few screenshots/gifs/previews were all I needed to prioritize other shows this season.

For all that hype, it certainly wasn't what I expected. The artstyle is like even worse that the one from the game (there was a clip in youtube with the movie from the game). I don't know why they decided to go down that path, but I will stick with it and see where it goes, but from the first episode, the only thing that made me happy was hearing the voices of Kazuya Nakai and Hirata Hiroaki, that's all.

Stahp posting while stoned pls lol

It felt so blank and rushed
Hope that ep2 wil be better
3/5


It was a bit rushed but it didn't bother me at all. It's the characters, art style & soundtrack that really did it for me and I didn't think it felt 'blank' and there's still enough time for the story.

hate comes from people who for some reason cannot enjoy a straight forward show, everything has to be super unique now

it is a series about people hitting big monsters with big weapons. the plot is there for that to happen

ufotable is saving money to make an epic Fate movie so this ended up looking like shit.


but it looks great with a unique style

it is not cgi though. character visuals are just done in a particular style that you personally don't enjoy

the monsters are cg just like it is sadly the case in pretty much every series these days

Also this is a video game adaptation. Everyone here expecting "unique" a la Mushishi or LOGH need not apply.

For what it's going for, it's already doing pretty well. Imagine if it's the reverse and they adapted FSN when it didn't have the notoriety going for it. You guys would be complaining about "generic action, generic story, generic characters etc."

Good is hella subjective, bro. What you think is good isn't for someone and the reverse is true.

Expected badass action and animation, UFOtable delivered. Maybe lower your too high standards next time.

FSN has an intriguing concept to back it up though, it gained it's notoriety for a reason.
This on the other hand seems extremely generic and overdone on every aspect.

I was generally confused the first half but that may be because i havent played the game(s)? The pacing was pretty quick but not enough to take away enjoyment. The animation isnt my cup of tea but i did enjoy the visuals of the action scenes. Main protagonist seems generic so far. Unit 1 looks badass. Decent watch?

If you've played the game, then this anime is doing far better than most people (who don't like it) here are claiming.

Feeling rushed? Not at all. There's not much story to adapt anyway. It's actually slow paced. If they really follow the game story, then they could finish this under 10 episodes.

Shitty CGI? Maybe you don't like CGI at all. For a action-oriented CGI, it's not choppy at all and has good framerates.

I don't like CGI either, not until I've watched Knights of Sidonia before so I had going which is nice.

Not so groundbreaking story wise, but then it's just the first episode. It was good, but I was expecting more. Animation wise it certainly not upto other UFO series but better than most other series this season. And the soundtracks were pretty good.
Decent episode.

There was nothing groundbreaking about this... which disappoints me.

I really had high hopes for this but all I got were random flashbacks, a generic as fuck main character, generic teacher, generic Best Team crew. And the presentation was off for me too. The Art, I can handle. It's the not-so-intense action that bothers me. What happened to all that intense as fuck WHISHWHISHWANG from Fate and KnK, ufo?

Well, so far, I'm not impressed but I will keep watching it to see if this goes anywhere.

As much as I want to really really enjoy this series, you're making this way too hard, ufotable.
