They have limited room and supplies so it makes sense to only let those who pass the test and can become a God Eater stay (along with their families). If they let every single survivor in they just wouldn't be able to provide for everyone. It's harsh but that's the kind of world they live in, and that's why they're working so hard to finish Aegis.

I don't buy it for a second, it's all for being dark and drama
They can build super weapons, big ass walls (with plenty of space) and the aegis.
Not enough food? what are they gonna feed the people on aegis then? XD

Lol complaining for the sake of complaining, typical MAL.

The episode was nice. The scenery including the OST was really good. I enjoyed this episode for the most part even though it lacked a bit more action.

Probably because we had an action overload during the first 3 episodes, threw people off the rails lol

Ok this episode, in my opinion, gave more soul to the series. It doesn't look so painfully average now.

Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.

Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins.

Kouta is still green at doing this kind of core hunting.
It's kind of mess up to turns those people down and kick them out just because they can't use God weapon etc.
I wonder what did the little girl say at the end...

If they wont even let regular citizens into the walled city, they obviously aren't going to let them in to the survivor's dome island. That's going to be reserved for the privileged of the privileged. Wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the people already inside of the city wouldn't be let in.

Scientist guy lying about the research so it doesn't get shut down. Obviously it's extremely unstable and dangerous but they're still making God Eaters.

This show would actually get half decent if Lenka just went rogue on the government and started fucking slaughtering the top brass for not letting people in while at the same time using their soldiers as lab rats.

You do know the Grayscale things are flashbacks right? Those flashbacks are pretty much explaining the creation of aragami and it'll get even better :)

So far I was enjoying this as a mindless action series with beautiful art, but I appreciate they're at least trying to explain something about the setting, though it should have been done sooner. Characters are still dull, but I guess there's room for seeing them grow closer as a team which should make things more interesting.

Highlights of the episode for me were the reaction of Kota to the mc saying he wanted to train and the smoking dude asking Alisa if she knows what a two-cell is, those 2 moments made me smile.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

This episode just showed how fucked up the rule is and the world they live in is. That was just cruel, and even telling them that they would shoot them if they wouldn't leave. How shit. Overall, another nice episode. Looking forward to the next one.

And I have a hard time believing Aegis can support all of humanity

There shouldn't be much of humanity left anyways.


smh, that whole leaving them out doesn't even make sense if they want to save humanity, it's all for that extra edge.
The fact that godeaters are their only weapons is all for the edge too, it's not like these things are indestructible.

Yeah I just realized that with the world they live in, humanity is probably on the brink of extinction. So Aegis probably won't be holding billions of people.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

I don't know...it might be just an introduction to the Dyaus, and then Moon in the Welkin will be episode 6.

I think it'll have more impact if it's at the end of episode 5 as a cliffhanger though. Still a little too soon though; it was quite a ways into the game after all...

Wow, the great visual even picks up a notch in this episode compared to the previous one. Everything, the buildings, the terrains, the slumps, the wall, are all top notch.

The OST is excellent as well.

And there is story telling now. A great plot is not essential, but a good story telling is.

We are trending up in just about all directions, even the line work are mostly good in this episode, except the lines on the little girl at the end when the gate was closing - it was a bit hurting my eyes.

Overall a good episode. Now I want to know if the other two scientists met their ghastly end.

Honestly I don't really expect a good plot from action-packed anime because this along with OverLord are like my weekly dose of action-anime for this season. Anime that I currently watched are mostly comedy and slice-of-life, so I'm perfectly fine if this anime will not deliver a great story (I've played GEB before and I only care about hunting and upgrading just like Monhan) even from ufotable.
I think this episode is better than previous episodes. At least it tried to explain what kind of world they are currently living in, about Aegis project, and the characters of characters. Lenka looked like he's hoping to save everyone but couldn't do anything against the rule. Alisa's still shutting herself from her teammates. And not all survivors can get shelter or supply only those who 'qualified', that's showing just how harsh their world. I'm really looking forward to next episodes.....~

The part with the little girl when the doors close hit me in the feels.

Kota seems pretty useless, messed up in training and the field.

If Project Aegis is to live on an island it seems pretty strange how none of the aragami have evolved into fish like species and have taken it over or made it impossible to get to

What a dumb project. They're simply making it easy for the Aragami to attack them in one place anytime. What a scenario it would be if the "giant" came.

Project Aegis seems stupid as shit.
Aragami will eventually evolve into fish-type or flying types shitholes and will eventually still kill everyone. Not even to mention the ultra big one the MC saw during the plane fight.

Anyway the episode was okay I guess. First time the battle didn't take almost 20 minutes. I'm getting annoyed by the MC since he doesn't know a lot. It makes the anime feel like an actual game instead of an anime gheh.

I just noticed that there are a lot of breathing and pauses. then there are also those kinds of dialogue that states the obvious. ARRRRRRGGGHHH. This is very annoying. Sure it adds a sense of realism in a scene, but does it need to be there every minute. Come onnjnnnn. Then even with all this, the most annoying to me is that "uh" response. What is thaattttt? "uh". I would count and including the pause before and after that "uh", arrghg. more or less 10 seconds. It wouldn't have mattered if some characters do it but that habit possessed the main character, that hero. It would mean I would get to observe this all over the series. And this scene also stuck, Before that introduction with that unit 1, after that salute of the two newbies, the hero just turned his head, turr4rrneened. What? was he surprised to observed such action in that environemementnt.

Okay. now. that last scene. it was sad. That still and slow mo for that girl before the gate closed. heart wrenching. it portrayed more the cruelty of that world.

Good episode, I'm really liking the animation style, as well as the soundtrack, the plot that worries me a little, for now I saw the protagonist having some standout moments, but most of the time he just lowers his head and looks lost

The action is not missing in the anime, I like to see when the characters are struggling, I expect to see a more difficult battles going forward as well, a little more participation of the protagonist and further development in the plot ..

Why do I get the feeling that what Kota was told about Aegis was a lie? I don't really see them allowing all of humanity live there if they won't even allow civilians to enter the Fenrir base.

This series has some pretty nice music.
