6. God Eater
In the near future, unknown life forms called “Oracle cells” begin their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. Standing in their way are God Eaters, elite individuals who wield living weapons. Based on the video game of the same name, the God Eater looks set to be the action anime of this season.
Granted video game adaptations are usually a hit and miss, a short look at the people behind the anime though does inspire some confidence. With ufotable on animation duties (Tales of Symphonia, Futakoi Alternative, Kara no Kyokai) you can at least expect superb visuals. Also there’s Takayuki Hirao in the directors seat which means we can expect some decent story potential. After all, he was responsible for some of the more interesting Kara no Kyokai arcs in the anime.
Watch it if: You enjoy monster slaying, but much rather have other people do it instead.
