The art was pretty incredible, everything else less so. I imagine playing the game beforehand makes the plot easier to understand; the episode was fairly light on plot building and cohesiveness. Although I can see the comparisons to Eren, Lenka feels a little... blank at the moment. He has no real character traits at the moment.

Superb work. It's refreshing to see more unique art style. Can't wait to see Alisa!

Eh..boring episode, awful pacing and lack of explanation. The music seemed unfitting in so many parts and it didn't have any direct focus. Almost fell asleep watching this from how sloppy it was, even the action scenes were dull but I actually like the art style.

I might wait an episode or two for it to pick up, but this is a crappy first impression.

Don't really think it needs explanation. It's based on a monster hunter RPG, should be pretty obvious how the game mechanics work into the world. Also the new cell thing they found made all the monsters accident and then they use it make weapons which can fight the monsters with the cells.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Well worth the wait.

No need to glorify the full CG part; already plenty of that here. On another note, the voice acting is outstanding as well.

Oh man that was awful. I don't think there was one thing I liked about this apart from the OST which I couldn't even hear because the sound effects were far too loud. The whole episode felt like I was watching cut-scenes from a video game.

That's the point.

Pacing was....odd.... CGI worked, and then sometimes it didn't, and the overused fancy effects got kind of repetitive. Still enjoyable though, just hoping the pacing speeds up a bit.

So this is gonna be another show overrated by kids. These studios have it down to a science at this point. Just another mediocre SAO/AOT/GC/CG etc etc.

Totally looking forward to seeing this talked about everywhere for the next few months.

The point was to be as bad as possible?

Art & Sound were interesting.

And that's about it. Sadly, I'm not interested in watching AoT 2.0 at the moment.

too much slowmo.

I don't know why I watched this, but I actually liked the artstyle and stayed for it

pretty generic plot and an indifferent 1st episode + main character

this will probably be bad

too much slowmo.

Was this now a shitty game or a shitty anime?

Anyway, way too many animators messed this episode up (and maybe the following)
Plot wise, not much to say // already being known from the game.

But the look of the anime itself is just bad. It's like Cell-shading in anime? Like the non CG part wants to be CG? It's unique, but not positive way.

Don't know.
It's another of of these "ufotable stuff" I like to avoid since the fans will hype it anyway.
Hope this gets better or end fast and painless.

Edit v1:
And that slow-mo - hella dramatic. HELLA unneeded as well.

Sorry for the guys who actually were waiting for this.

The animation style is a bit strange which I can get used to, but damn, the MC is generic AF! The story doesn't seems to be anything special either so far. Soundtracks were somewhat decent though.

Just waiting for best girl Alisa to show up. Well, even she probably won't be enough to save the show.

this kinda reminds me of attack on titan but i know this came out before so it's not a ripoff. the episode wasn't bad but i hope this has more action than anything because the characters seem boring. especially the mc.

ost and animation were good though

All these Fate related comments sicken me. Ufotable is not actually being Type Moon's bitch for once.
The Aragami laying waste to the population is interesting. God Eaters protecting them using weapons names God Arcs is cool I guess. Main character is not indecisive which is good. OK start.

How long does the game take to complete? Just wondering~

I had zero expectations for GE and it left me unsatisfied. The story is nothing new. You've got your MC having the dire need to eradicate these monsters that are threatening humanity. *insert similar titles here* Surprisingly, the MC isn't angsty and is willing to participate in training.

Character designs and monster designs are intriguing. I still question the size of the bracelets these characters wear. The art style is definitely eye-catching, but something about it seems strange. The different tones of shading gives an illusion that they were probably replicating the video game perhaps? (Of course with a touch of Ufotable's style) I guess it will take a while for my eyes to adjust.

I'm giving this one a few more episodes.

The art style looked strange for me at first glance, but it was ok after that. They changed the beginning of the game, but looks like they will make Soma's first mission with the MC in the next episode, so we will see Erik again ~

It's just me or Amamiya boobs were twice bigger than the normal? XD Also Alisa's fanservice in the OP is always good to see. :3 Love that underboobs <3

MC looks fine to me, and I want more Kota in the next ep. ;w;

3/5.

Which is why I was looking forward to this, I'm a big fan of Monster Hunter and it would have been awesome to see a show with a similar premise, but it definitely did not deliver.

Loved it. Ufotable obviously has its haters but fuck them. The animations is different and i think its very well done. Honestly Ufotable should just make one anime each season and it should have its own genre called "Ufotable", cause i know tht most of the time its gonna be sick

Judging by the amount of hate this show is getting just by the very first episode, I think people should learn the difference between overhyped and overrated. By hey, that's what happens when netizens rely on buzzwords.

There are a bunch of words that could be used instead.

interesting art style, but - yeah, i know - nothing more like „shingeki no kyojin of the future without spiderman action but heavy guns“. i sense nothing special except the different art style (for 3D pretty good). and to much „Testosteron guys“ … and again there is one special young boy who will safe the day: boring. well, i dont expect anything.

Finally we get something different visually speaking, and people can only complain about the CGI and animations which seemed more than decent to me btw. I'll never understand you guys.

Anyway, pretty good, the plot seems generic but we all came here knowing this so I don't really see the problem. The VAs are extraordinary, I wonder how much budget went only for that. Surely looking forward to it.

It would bring me great pleasure if you would understand that overrated is exactly the word i was looking for. If you are not smart enough to figure out what i was saying, you could just... be quiet, you know?

Coming to you live from an action pack sword fighting blah blah blah dystopian future blah blah... yamate!

If we are to talk about he art, I personally haven't seen something like this before, so that's exciting. Everyone and thier kazaas' complain about CG, but this doesn't seem too bad. Do you want to fight about it? Ask the guy who wrote a review in Spanish (how you going to be that lazy?) I digress, yamate...

I haven't played the game that this series is based off from, but the story seems in grasping as far as how it's being presented. Of course, it's not innovative to have monsters and to fight them with alien-like weapons. That has been done and over-done. I feel like the guy who asks for a third burger at a BBQ party, gimme dat sword fight with MC and some unfathomable hard-to-beat monster. Why? Because I'm sick dammit! I'm sick and I need my fix...hnggghhh. I digress, yamate...

The music is poor. I mean really poor. If you're into that whole auto-tune sound like you're crying about something unimportant with just generic guitar riffs, then your mom is clearly a good candidate for my monster harem I'm building. Get it? You disgust me. Just kidding, don't hate me on tumblr. However, aside from the crap music, the sound effects are not the best. The wind blasting past, is nice. I like the sound they give when the characters use double-jump. There, is a part that has a nice piano rendition, so that was pleasant to hear right after your crap-tier auto-tune #feelings #no1getsme music. I digress, yamate...

Again, as far as the art, it's bearable. I can see talent in the backgrounds, and seeing this new (new to me so fight me, but if you bite me I'll like it) form is exciting. If I can say one criticism, if you're going to make it rain, then don't make it out like the rain evaporates the second it falls to a surface. Unless of course, it rains ethanol, but then everyone would be intoxicated and swinging wildly. Seriously, speaking of which do these guys have Popeye's forearms?! You can't swing that ish with noodle appendages. I digress, yamate...

I'll probably keep watching this, simply because the rain drops are too epic. Some of the sounds may make you feel uncomfortable, kind of like if a tree was going transforming and whispering in your ear while it flicks your earlobe with one of it's leaves "this isn't even my final form". The bracelet they got going on looks like "alone" time would be like going hard mode, bu then again they got the strength to swing those behemoth weapons. I digress, yamate...

Watch it. My hopes are as short as the MC's eyebrows, so meh.

[center][size=90]Ehh...could have done with a bit more worldbuilding. I was incredibly confused for the first half of the episode.

We've got a little bit of other anime in this one! SnK ( walls, 'gotta-kill-em-all' attitude ), Owari no Seraph ( main protagonist appearance, especially ), and...Kekkai Sensen? ( one of the characters looks a lot like Zapp Renfro ).
Considering that the protagonists of SnK and Owari no Seraph are the characters that I hate...even though I'm finding Renka alright for now, I have this sinking feeling that he's going to become intolerable later in the show. Especially with that shounen MC screaming..."I'm going to kill them all! You can't stop me! I'm an arrogant bastard and a two-year-old can follow directions better than I can!" I hope that Renka doesn't end up that way, but it really seems like he will. The fact that he looks like Yuu of Owari no Seraph is already giving me negative feelings because, well, to put it simply, I couldn't stand Yuu at all.
*war flashbacks*
I just hope this isn't going to become a mashup of above anime with an animation style that reminds me of...the Cartoon Network show 'Storm Hawks', actually. Like, seriously, I was getting huge Storm Hawks vibes of off the art here and I've only ever watched one episode of that show.

From the giant billboard they had at AX for this series, and the postponement of the first episode, I had guessed it's supposed to be a hyped and highly-anticipated show, so I was quite excited to watch this. Unfortunately, I think I'm a bit disappointed.

Animation is top notch, but we all know that the GEB story is pretty plain. I have a feeling that the further episodes will be a train wreck. Hopefully not. (¬_¬)
