While Kaze France brought out the God Eater serious previously in a couple of collections in 2016 we haven’t had much in the way of video promotion for it. That distributor has now dropped a new French-language dub clip for it so that we can get a taste of how the cast performs in the show and whether it sets a different mood to the performances.
Check out our review of the first US Blu-ray release and the second Blu-ray release.
The show was directed by Takayuki Hirao. Hirao has a solid background to be sure and has done work for the games, but he also worked on the Gyo OVA, which is hilariously vicious, as well as the fifth installment of the Garden of Sinners project. The project has also brought on board Keita Shimizu to handle the character designs for the series. The cast includes Ryuichi Kijima as Renka Utsugi, Hiroaki Hirata as Lindow Amamiya, Maaya Sakamoto as Alisa Illinichina Amiella, Kazuya Nakai as Soma Schicksal, Daisuke Sakaguchi as Kota Fujiki and Sayaka Ohara as Sakuya.
Plot concept: 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…
