This just does not fit Takayuki Hirao's style since Hirao is more for deeper character exploration and darker stories than flashy monster battles. Look at his portfollio(KNK5, Texnolyze, Kurozuka, Shigurui).



The background story for some of the characters are actually quite dark in my opinion. Although the background stories have already somewhat overused at this time compared when the game was released.

He is in charge of the stupid slow motions, atmosphere,poor sounds and fight choreography which are all lacking big . sure the source material is poor when it comes to story but everything that I mentioned he is in charge !

Which just shows that he is not INTO the product. This has none of his strength so he can't "get into it" which results in artificial TRIES(just like how UBW was completely hollow emotionally because Miura was more interested in upskirt shots)

Its quite clear that Hirao does not care too much about this but still tries to make it look good.

For the lack of better example of this situation it is like handing directing Dark Knight to Michael Bay, while having Christopher Nolan try to direct Twilight. Cue both going "Uhhh, why am I doing this again?"

Takayuki Hirao is as out of tune with "gotta take down huge monsters omg omg let's fight" Gods Eater as Takahiro Miura is out of tune with "let's delve into what these characters think about and how they see the situation and why" kind of thing.

Saying all of this I still want him to do Heavens Feel.

Meh I don't. I hope HF crashes and burns. Its impossible to do in one movie anyway and it is impossible to get it right without at least getting Shirou's characterization in UBW right. AT BEST people will perceive it as "tr00 mature sequel" throwing derogatory remarks to the other to routes even more and missing the point about what the hell is going on. The faster people forget about ufo's FSN adaptations the better it is for the franchise.

It hasn't been confirmed as 1 film. Also it doesn't matter what secondaries think.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

I hope Alisa makes this show a bit better. So far the characters leave me a bit cold to be honest.

dat shit eater doe.

decent episode. i think theo nly thing that came a bit off to me was the slowmo..idk seems like it can be handled better.with the previous UFO works i had an issue with a lot of the animations being to fast it wasn't very clean and you would miss a good amount of things because the anime didnt linger on them enough for anyone except maybe the reader base to even see them and the readers caught these things mainly because they read the scene and know what queues and actions to look for. here the animation comes off a bit too slow the action doesnt quite feel as excitingas it probably could have been.

i think the ep gets a 4/5

Anyhow, looking forward to the next battle. Hope it'll turn out better than the first one.

Damn that underboob xD

That aside, she looks totally badass. Best girl Alisa :D

But does this show even have any romance? No point in having best girl without any romance and shipping possibilities :(

There are some clubs within here that you can join that aren't full of complainers and can hold pretty good discussions if everyone is active. It takes some time, while the series gets going but someone is bound to make one for this show. You can also just join one of the general ones after you get used to some of the people here and you know who's in them.

This is utterly unremarkable, as expected, but the directing is still fairly good. It is a shame that Hirao was assigned God Eater instead of F/SN, though. This kind of thing really isn't his forte.

Anyway, 2/5. Here's to hoping Ufotable make some wild directorial choices so this becomes more entertaining.

Maybe because you don't get to decide things for other people; or maybe because people have different opinions than you.

It's also barely episode 2. I don't remember how well GE did in the US, but i'm sure it wasn't as big as it was in Japan

Just a friendly warning.

It is a monster hunter game adaptation. The focus of such a game is power fantasy of seeing hot people destroy big gigantic monsters, with the remaining time usually spent fangirling over Alisa's design(still can't decide whether it is the stockings or weird boots or the upskirt that makes her one of hotest video game characters). That's it. I frankly can't see a way to actually make God Eater story or characters good without majorly changing everything in the story which they won't do.

Just enjoy the fireworks and the artstyle and don't think too much about plot or characters.

I know that, but I rather listen to someone theorize badly, than hear someone whine, especially when they do it in every video and multiple times in the same forum

Especially when someone makes arrogant posts as if they are somehow superior to everyone else and only their opinions matter. Straight up bullying.

Decent episode imo. Best part was the OST, which is actually pretty good. The way it is used though makes me think that the episode is going to end, over and over again.

The animation is okay, although it feels like it's a bit slow at times.

Interesting enough though, will keep watching.

There are shots in this episode that look absolutely stunning, but the battle in the beginning was so.....slow, bland, and didn't have any sort of impact. The scene where the beast was swinging it's tail and the beast AND the guy were just standing there for 10 seconds was just awkward. It's like watching a turn based battle.

Maybe it;s because the animators are not really accustomed to combining CGI monsters with 2D characters?

Also I think the vocal music during the funeral was kind of....misplaced.

Sigh, this was not how I expected God Eater anime to be. The MC of God Eater in the game was a prodigy, someone who exceled at fighting and leading. This MC is pathetic, in the first few minutes, he runs UP CLOSE with a GUN. And then he sees lightning sparks appearing and he's like, oh my god, I wonder if fireworks are about to start, and stands blindly there. This MC is killing me from the inside. At least Shirou had the saving grace of being good enough to trace any weapon he has ever seen and create a Marble Phantasm that can recreate multiples of those weapons. This guy runs up close to giant monsters twice his size while using a gun at point blank, how bad is his freaking aim.

And the action, why is it so god freaking slow, are they fapping while the animations run its course? If I was one of those characters, I could slice Vajra 7 times before it even moved at that speed. Felt like I was moving in slow-motion or something. The lions were some of the fastest enemies, and fighting Vajra was like fighting this animal that kept spinning and spamming lightning, but they made this Vajra so easy to fight and die in a few hits while that characters seem to struggle even with how easy it is. Goddamit Team 1 was supposed to have soloed an Ouroboros, but with this skill, I don't think so.

Man, I had such high hopes because Ufotable was in charge of this, but really, this is quite disappointing.
