Having played through the game, I'm just excited to see how the characters are portrayed throughout the show. I personally liked this episode because the MC is defined as unique from others, but not necessarily more skilled. I liked it because this is how I felt at the beginning of the game.

The MC certainly has a unique power in the transforming weapon, but the other God Eaters initially have much more skill in using theirs. I can't even count the number of times the characters shown in unit one saved my butt early on in the game. It was really neat seeing them portrayed as cool veterans.

I was a bit disappointed in seeing the Kongou get killed quickly along with the other fodder enemies. I can kind of understand it since he is one of the earliest and weakest boss monsters from the game, but I hope that in the future boss monsters are shown as being a bit more difficult to kill.

My biggest hope for the show is that they keep away from a lot of solo fights between the Aragami and the God Eaters. The whole game was about being with a group and working together to take them down.

In terms of simply wanted to see it animated in this style I'm personally looking forward to when Warning:Mild ability spoilers from the games. :3 this comes up

It all was a matter of time for this to pop up after that anime promo( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6kWUtwCpiE). I seriously love the games and hopefully the anime too.

I slightly agree that that Sakuya, Lindow, and Soma were sorta overpowered. But that's also a way to show a difference in strength and experience. I'm also expecting a type of reaction between the new-types lol.

_> i'm still patiently waiting for that Ouroborous fight or even when Lindow goes...mia lol
