No, we don't know exactly how, but cutting rarely released episodes a little shorter each week seems wasteful when I think that part of the plot could be summed up in 5 minutes, or half an episode at most. Which we can all pretty much guess that those oracle cells went out of hand and then bad things came to be, and the scientist who knew about this started the organization that fights the monsters. That would be Ok, but they also use about 2-3 minutes in most of the episodes on a gray scale flash back about how the apocalypse 'happened'. Episodes are released often not every week, but here and there. I have to add that I don't like the use of some of their time in each episode. and it was the typical explaination and set up for this type of action show (the anime explained the facility, weapons, and MC's I want to kill monsters), but episode 3 made my opinion improve a little.ĮDIT: It's a little darker than I expected it to be, but I think that's a good thing.ĮDIT: I've watched some more of this now, up to ep. It seems like a typical post-apocalyptic setting, and it's based off a game. So plot wise I'm not expecting anything great, a lot of the lines are cliche, and the first two episodes didn't really do anything for me. My overall given score is based off 7 episodes (it WAS 3, but I've seen 7 now), so I'll either revise or delete this review when the anime finishes airing.which will be a while b/c they are not releasing the last episodes until later. I will also compare this to Attack on Titan and Owari no Seraph, since they are similar shows. To put in simple terms, God Eater can go eat shit and just watch Attack on Titan or Blue Gender. No one will gain anything of worth from watching this show. The story is boring, since it just an Attack on Titan knock off, the characters are boring, since all of them are a bunch off one note archetypes, even the action, which is the main appeal of the show, is boring. This leads to some unexpectedly boring and dull action scenes.Honestly, this is an anime I can’t really recommend to anyone. Even though the characters are swinging swords the size of a minivan, none of the strikes or swings have any weight or impact to them. Despite above average animation, the battles fail to impress me due to the lackluster choreography and direction. But for an action series, the only thing that the show need is good action to really carry it. And the character are weak and one note and are so forgettable that I cannot remember a single character name. None of the story segments are remotely interesting since everything is played completely straight and blunt. Being unoriginal doesn’t necessarily bad, but God Eater is bland and dull in its presentation that watching GOP debate look entertaining in comparison. The walled city, the protagonist with the special power, teenagers fighting giant monsters, some mystery circulating in the background, you get the deal. Plot wise, God Eater is almost a beat for beat Attack on Titan just with a different skin.
From what I seen, God Eater is just another Monster Hunter variant and the plot is basically just Attack on Titan, but with giant swords instead of steam powered spider man gear.

Out of any video game, God Eater is one of the worst choice to adapt into a full length anime.
I have no idea who thought turning a game like God Eater into a full length anime was a goods idea. I would also ask that you watch at least to episode 5 before rating this piece. Overall I would say this is a rather underrated anime and would definitely recommend it to others. The characters I first thought were a bit plain but now we are starting to go into a bit of history which I believe will develope them further. The sound was adequate and I don't have anything in particular to mention about it. The animation and art is quite well done and I compliment the colours, shading and detail shown in shots where large aread can be viewed. In addition to this I am glad that they are showing in detail how this apocalypse came about and are not just dealing with the present. Therefore I believe the story can progress from here getting better and winning back some of the viewers and ratings it lost from the first few episodes.

This has given me a newfound respect for this series in that they are not following all of the stereotypes to spit out an anime the same as hundreds of others. The first few episodes seemed to be heading in this direction however I have just seen episode 5.The simple shock and suspense of how helpless the hero is while his fellow humans are getting slaughtered brought back memories of the earlier episodes of Attack on Titan. At first I believed this anime would just be another one where the protagonist has experienced tragedy and from then on they become stronger and etc eventually achieving his goal.
