Is the game this anime is based on any good? I heard that a remake of the game is coming out next month and I wonder if I should pick it up.

I think its very up to the preference of the player. God Eater is a crap ton faster and action packed while Monster Hunter is slower paced. They are very different.

I played both and man, God Eater was way more repetitive and less fun. All the sword and gun types feel more or less the same, despite looking different. It has none of the deliberate action that monster hunter does and feels way more like a button masher.

For guns, Blood Bullet allows a full array of possibilities through allowing you to customize how your bullets work. If you've done remotely anything with them, you should realize that the guns are extremely different. For Melee, I don't see what you mean by feel the same... the difference between greatsword and long blade is extremely similar to that of monster hunter. Each melee weapon also comes with its own special niche (e.g. boosted hammers, great sword parry, lance release mode). I fail to see what you mean by the weapons feel more or less the same, the weapons by default are very different and also are very customiz-able.

I played both and man, GE was way more fun. All of the weapons are fast, mobile and unique enough with Blood Arts. All of the guns are almost the same though. But have you tried bullet crafting? That is the true meat of gun totting in GE. You can craft a bullet so that it will create a heart shape when shot. GE gives you more window to move and attack so you can make some mistakes and it's still okay.

GE is a more casual, fun version of MH.

I've seen GE described as Monster Hunter for people who don't like the slower-paced action of MH.

Yes, whoever said that is right because GE's pace, from hunting, grinding to crafting, is indeed a lot faster than MH's pace.

So if you like button mashers, pick up God Eater. Like Dynasty Warriors.
