I went into Gibiate with a open mind and a lot of hype, a post apocalyptic world with samurai and ninjas? Sounds really interesting. But when i watched the show I was disappointed by bad CG and bad animation which is unfortunate it just felt like a really cool world was ruined. So should you watch? Its 100% up to how much you can put aside the animation and CG to enjoy the story. Id like to know how everyone else feels about this show as well do you think its fine as it is? Or should it be better? Put your thoughts below!

If you enjoyed Endride, you should watch Gibiate.
Original scriptwriter and executive producer Ryo Aoki said in an interview that we don't care about the Japanese market, our target is the global market.
And this terrible thing was made.
He was the originator of the Endride anime project, and it looks like he is repeating the methods that failed there, again.
Hire a famous creator and all is well! Westerners love samurai and ninja and monsters!
But the director is completely unknown. It's even worse than Endride.

I also like the main idea of this anime. But the story and esthetic feels very as something made in the early 90s, at first I thought it was an adaptation of an old manga.
The monsters look terrible :O

Also, the sensei's voice seems too old for the character, it'll a little weird when I hear him speak.

Kathleen and her mother are very beautiful, so I'll continue watching :P

I think I'll be patient with it for some episodes to see where it's going.

The teacher's voice actor is Shuichi Ikeda, Char Aznable from First Gundam.
The producer only needed his famous voice and name, so it didn't matter if it didn't fit the character.

Yeah I know him, he's also the voice of Shanks (One Piece) <3
He also voiced many anime in the 90s which confirms the old esthetic of this anime :c

I wouldn't recommend it. Personally I don't care that much about animatoin. But even I noticed the "pictures only" at a lot of scenes. Then the plot and chars feel weird/random.

(They didn't have to bring that long flashback in episode 4.)

I just watch it cause I like samurai. (And I liked that flashback - though it felt out of place.)
And I'm not against post-apocalyptic stuff and zombies - unles it is pure splatter. (Which it is not here.)

Still weird combination. I like the shamisen opening though.

I tried, I even thought to myself “it might look terrible and the pacing might be garbage but the concept is good, maybe you will get used to the artistic choices in production” but no this is too terrible in every way to watch.

You should watch it now, as it's airing, because it's pretty bad and getting worse with each episode, so it feels like I'm taking part is some historical event as I experience this atrocity unfold over the next few weeks. Once the series is finished though, you'd just be jumping on the bandwagon and the experience wouldn't be the same.

To keep it short, this is a bad anime. I only watch it for the banters. It is so bad it is funny. It is even makes me sad when I think about the people who worked on it as I heard that some of them are suite talented people. So, do not watch it unless you have tolerance to not so good anime, or you have too much free time (because this show is not binge-able) or you are new to anime and want to explore everthing about the medium.

Nope. Honestly its hard to put into word how badness of this show has been. What's even worst that it doesn't fall into "so bad so good" kind of enjoyable show as it tries to put too many flashbacks to flesh out characters when they will be killed off later anyway. And somehow every new episodes ends up worse than the last episode. Its like History in the making. Even you will feel voice actors struggling to read their lines.

If you liked the premise, try out "Kurozuka". Its miles away better!

nobody should watch this trash.
you'd think it's so horrible it's actually entertaining but no. not even that, it's incredibly boring. it's the worst thing I've seen since pupa, these are huge words.
worst anime of the year, if not years to come. maou sama retry tried it's damnest to strike first and claim the throne as the worst anime of the decade but it was NOTHING compared to this. jfc I'm actually offended. this is an insult, not an anime.
you can blame the following people:
Gibiate was created by GIBIATE Project, a global IP development group consisting of internationally renowned Japanese creators such as Yoshitaka Amano ("Final Fantasy"), Naoki Serizawa ("Biohazard" / "Resident Evil"), Yuzo Koshiro (composer of "Ys" and "Act Raiser"), Yoshida Brothers (world-renowned shamisenist group) and SUGIZO (guitarist from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN).

I have had my share of horrendous anime from the 80s up the 2020s and let me tell you I thought the Island of the Giant Insects was the worst anime of this year with CG that is almost or equal to Gibiate but Gibiate for being 4 times long than The Island of Giant insects this is by far the worst anime of the year and even the 21st century no kidding.
BTW that's where your 8$ Crunchyroll subscription went through with their "Crunchyroll Originals" to this awful piece of media with the "best" CGI in existence

Well, yes if you want to see how the worst anime of all time got its title.
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

For anyone that is still pondering if it's worth watching.... let me save you the time and suggest to watch something else.

Like the OP stated, I came with an open mind hoping for some cool development towards the end... well there was something, but it was weak.

The whole story was very shallow. All 12 episodes can be summarized in 2 line of description.

I tolerated the bad 3D animated monsters, willing to forego that major eye shore flaw, hoping there was more to the story, only to be dissapointed.

It starts of pretty well and then it gradually becomes really bad imo plus the animation for the gibiate is really bad. The art style kinda ticks me off too, but the opening was great. I wont recommend it at all i just dropped it through cuz it was just too bad.

I finished it today on the 4.11.2020. I can't recommend this anime to an experienced anime watcher. Maybe to someone just starting out, but two anime similar to it will make for better recommendations:

Drifters - This was something I can recommend without hesitation.
Wolverine - This while I don't remember that well, I still think it did better than "Gibiate".

Watch this anime if all you care about are pretty characters, that is all it has.

The premise sounded interesting, but the score had me concerned so I roped my friend into watching it with me. I think that saved this show for me, because watching it with someone else, you can laugh at it together and enjoy it. I don't know if I would have finished this show on my own, but we finished it together and bonded over this experience... what a great memory! :D
