The show doesn’t stray much from seeing characters with over-sized weapons slice up or shoot up large CG monsters, but it does do a good job of keeping the human characters interesting enough to keep your focus in-between the action. Other God Eaters include fun and laid-back Lindow Amamiya, the distant and stoic Soma Schicksal (who also gets an extended backstory via flashbacks!) and Alisa Ilynichna Omela, who has serious mental issues resulting from seeing her parents killed by a super-powerful Aragami known as “Dyaus Pita”, who of course had just arrived and defeated her in the previous set of episodes, sending her over the edge. Our protagonist is Lenka Utsugi, who had a particularly harsh time before gaining his God Arc (shown in grizzly detail in Episode 10!) and despite spending the first few episodes being over-eager and short-fused, Lenka is now more responsible and is even starting to come into his own as a leader.
The Aragami appeared and reduced the world’s population to hundreds of thousands, leading to most people living in rather unpleasant post-apocalyptic conditions. The titular God Eaters are trained soldiers who wield “God Arcs”, large weapons that normally take the form of giant swords or guns, and fight monsters known as Aragami.
GOD EATER 2 REVIEW IGN PLUS
Episodes 8 – 13 feature more odd-looking but well animated characters and action scenes, plus continue to fill you in on the series’ backstory to boot. God Eater, the somewhat popular game series, continues and concludes its anime adaptation with this second half of the Ufotable-animated show.
