God Eater - Episode 7
Right from the get go here, the episode makes me want to throw up. Of all the ways it could start, it starts with Alisa apologizing to Lenka while cuddled up in a chair. Disgusting. Is this what remains of the great Russian hope? The New-Type with actual training? The brave unstoppable maiden who kicked Lenka's ass in unarmed combat? Hirao go home you're drunk. Wait, what are you doing, stop walking towards the Tales staff. No don't do it. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Come back!
The new location in this episode leverages on the art direction really well. Not only did it look very different from anything we've seen before, but the idea of using it as a symbol of false hope in this desolate world was also executed pretty effectively. I like seeing the little details they put into smaller scenes, like the trees being a defense mechanism. The set piece here was well done too, with a good simplistic use of tactics which makes it more interesting than the usual slash/shoot spam. The Aragami design was really neat too. Not sure if it's from the game, but it reminded me of Ultima Weapon from FF.
The bath scene with Alisa was pretty well done fanservice too, but just as I was thinking they could be on the way to salvaging her character, they ruin it again complete with really embarrassing shit. A panic attack isn't enough, she has to flip over the entire bathtub, and then crawl on all fours naked while stuttering. What the fuck? This is not how you use the goddess Maaya Sakamoto you fuckers! Eat my shit!
Lenka getting his God Arc back was just another head shaker among many. By now I've expected it, but it still feels lame. Cheapens everything that came before. Who gives a shit that the main character was overwhelmed, stabbed, slashed, crushed, and his weapon dismembered, when everything can be fixed so easily? Where is the tension and horror anymore? Nothing can stopKirito-god-sama Lenka! I bet by the end of the series he can beat a Vajra by pointing at it and believing in himself. *barf*
Did I mention the music fucking rocks? I don't think I've mentioned that in a while because I've been so busy getting angry at how pathetic the writing for Alisa is, but the music still rocks! It's really fucking good! Go Shiina is an amazing composer!
Next episode is about Sakuya, I can't wait to see what innovative ways they come up with to undermine yet another female character to glorify the power of men.
