God Eater

[Ryllharu]

This is the way I understood it:

Based on the flashbacks, there are two types of cells, the Oracle cells, and the types of cells the Oracle cells avoid. Both are a form of Aragami. The avoided cells are some kind of natural divergent evolution of the Oracle cells, protecting themselves naturally from the Oracle cell cycle of consumption.

- The monsters are made of regular Oracle cells.
- God Arcs, the ampules, and the trees are composed of the avoided cells.

Regular Oracle cells feed on anything organic. The avoided cells seem to feed primarily on themselves or on the regular Oracle cells.

That has some vague resemblance on what I was thinking in general, so I'll go with this theory for now.

So far this series has had a very inconsistent schedule. I wonder who's at fault? The tv station or ufotable?

Anyways, another week of wait.

I'm looking forward to see how Alisa copes with her utterly disgraceful behavior during this mission, after she ran out of her medicine. Especially considering how arrogant she was during her introduction. Lenka is still a n00b, nothing more, and has never really tried to act as if he was something else. I'd take his eagerness to partake on difficult missions as another sign of being green. So, while he might have failed here as well, though not nearly as spectacularly as Alisa, he doesn't really have anything to be ashamed of. His collapse was never total, either.

I don't actually dislike Alisa, far from it. I hope this will push her closer to Lenka. So close that the dude in him would appreciate those glorious underboobs.

The "over" is not bad either.

[shinta|hikari]

Boobs are great and all, but it's all about the waki.

I wonder if she will still be all tsun in the next episode. And drugs are scary...

[Munsu]

Looks like all the delays during the season caused this series to not finish up this initial cour. So who knows when we'll get the rest of the episodes beyond next week:

The Tokyo MX station, Yahoo! TV Japan, and other Japanese television schedules are listing episode 9 of the God Eater anime on September 27 as the final television episode. The end of the television run does not preclude plans for the anime in another format or medium. The new anime Comet Lucifer will take over God Eater's 10:30 p.m. timeslot on October 4.

The God Eater anime premiered in August, and four "Extra" episode have so far pre-empted regular episodes that were previously scheduled.

Anyways, episode 8 is now out:

Why was the schedule changed and the show prematurely stopped ?Abysmal ratings ? Sales ? Production costs ? Studio troubles ?

If I had to guess problems with having the episodes ready on time or such? I mean, if they still used the slots for God Eater special episodes, then I think the problem lies with ufotable not having the episodes ready or something.

But who knows.

[Kraco]

I'm somewhat disappointed. While Lenka coordinating the fight was good, it saddens me Alisa was taken away and thus there was no scene with her trying to deal with Lenka under these new circumstances, with Lenka having witnessed her deep issues. There's not so much hope of a jolly scene in the future (provided the show continues) because from now on Lenka will obviously live in the shadow of his death sentence. I doubt he will have much humour left for tsunderes. In his slowness he's extremely stable, but no matter what, such a sentence ought to be hard to deal with. Of course the extremely dangerous and tough profession as such won't grant anybody extra years, but he must have thought he could still fight longer.

[NeoCybercoin]

Really like Lenka stepping up and taking command. And...is it just me or was Alisa's rack just massive when she was laying in bed? Around 4:03. I mean..damn.

[shinta|hikari]

I don't think death sentences of a few years are anything to worry about in their world. Getting eaten by an Aragami in the next few hours seems more realistic.

This show, or more precisely Alisa, got screwed by this limited broadcast/production.

[NeoCybercoin]

That too. I think all God Eaters have reduced life spans simply because they can wield their God Arc. The higher your comparability, the shorter it is. The upside is that you apparently increased healing power. Which they all really need.

He survived most of his life outside of a walled city. Now he's finally in and has the weapons to fight back. I don't think he was still planning to die so soon, as if he had never made it to the city.

Sigh...I hate cliches like these. Humanity is facing extinction or at least that's what I get from this show and what do they do? They decide to brainwash someone into thinking one of their own is an enemy to in order to keep a secret. That sort of shit never made sense to me.

Depends on the secret. If it's something most people would reject, then it's quite plausible they would do anything to maintain its secrecy until it's too late for the majority to do anything about it. Considering how these people have for years been toying with human lives and deciding who gets to live and who will be left to feed the roaming aragami, it's not much of a problem for them to sacrifice somebody. If you start to play a god, you better play the role till the end.

Gotta feel sorry for Alisa, though. She had nothing to do with it, but due to her mental instability, they will readily exploit her.

[shinta|hikari]

Episodes 10 and 11 are out.

This show has so much waki potential but never makes use of it dammit.

Alisa became all tsun again. If this ends in one or two more episodes, it'll be a pointless story. The flashback is more well-rounded than the rest of the episodes.
