The God Eater television series brings the popular game into the anime fore front with its stunning visuals, beautifully choreographed battle sequences and a pulse pounding soundtrack that sets the mood for each episode! With the high quality production that only ufotable can bring, every detail of the God Eater world comes to life! ANN says “Some anime based on video games fail to recreate the original's graphic quality. God Eater is the opposite. After getting a chance to view some of the source gameplay, it seems apparent to me that God Eater has visually leveled up in anime form.”
About God Eater:
In the early 2050s, unknown life forms called “Oracle Cells” began their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. Their ravenous appetite and remarkable adaptability earned them first dread, then awe, and finally the name Aragami, the "Mad Gods." In the face of an enemy completely immune to conventional weapons, urban civilization collapsed, and each day humanity was driven further and further toward extinction.
The year is now 2071... the domain of the mad gods lies here in the Far East. One single ray of hope remains for humanity. Following the development of “God Arcs”—living weapons which incorporate Oracle Cells—their wielders are organized into an elite force. In a world ravaged by mad gods, these “God Eaters” fight a desperate war...
