In God Eater, Studio Ufotable has crafted a ruined world that’s left humanity ruthlessly fighting to keep itself alive. This premise is familiar, but unfortunately this first episode doesn’t help the show stand out among the other anime in this genre. Humanity’s turmoil is established with unique animation and nuance, but the cliche lead and awkward pacing make God Eater’s debut disappointing.

Lenka Utsugi is an outsider to the walled-in fortress of Fenrir. He’s recruited to join the God Eaters, the group tasked with slaying the Aragami, large, powerful creatures of varying forms that devour humans on sight. Though we don’t see many types of them, the Aragami stand out with their cool designs and monstrous size. Unfortunately, Lenka feels like a clone of many other protagonists in the action genre.

Vowing to kill the Aragami for an unrevealed reason, Lenka tries to skip his training in favor of going on missions with other God Eaters. When that doesn’t work, he trains harder, fails, and then heads out to the battlefield against orders. This kid is eager, foolish, and of course, powerful. It’s all the typical characteristics you’d expect in a show with this kind of premise, but it makes his character stale. Sure, it’s the first episode and we have a lot more time to learn about him, but as of right now, I wasn’t given a good reason to care about him or his goals. The only refreshingly different part of the whole setup was seeing him fail.

Even though Lenka is supposed to be special, a new type of God Eater, but he’s not perfect. His flaws showed promise that he has room for growth and plenty of character development. Instead of seeing him dominate at everything he tries, we instead get to watch him learn and become stronger. Lenka messes up a lot during training, and his faults carry over to real fights. He fails to save himself and others from Aragami in his training simulations, and his attempt to heroically save a comrade during battle results in him getting knocked out of the fight moments after arriving. They’re the kind of humbling, eye-opening moments that make Lenka a relatable and sympathetic character.

The world Lenka lives in also isn’t perfect. In fact, it’s kind of melting in desperation. The people of Fenrir are struggling in their fight against the Aragami, though the higher-ups don’t reveal that to Lenka. Instead, we all get to figure that out together as Lenka sees how many God Arcs (the weapons of God Eaters) are missing from the armory, and when we see wounded soldiers run out for a mission. A handful of flashbacks also teased how things got so bad; the world was running out of energy and scientists relied on a mysterious new organism. I’m excited to see how this research resulted in the desolate world we see now.

At least the very least, this episode was nice to look at. Unsurprisingly, Ufotable captures the style of the God Eater games very well to create a unique look for the anime. The characters stand out clearly against the beautiful environments and look great when in action. As brief as Lenka’s clash with a huge Aragami was, it was a satisfying moment to see the fight and the gorgeous, fiery battlefield it was set on.

God Eater is off to a rough start as it thrusts us into a cool world that’s focused on a boring, cliche protagonist. The animation style captures look of the God Eater games well and depicts humanity’s dire situation. Unfortunately, the episode suffers from poor pacing, but it ends on a good note with some minor development for its lead.
