This week barely touched Sakuya, on its
namesake character, choosing an across the board ramp up of
exposition and actions. Expressed in brief clips of weight that was
psychological, episode eight of God Eater felt the same as a second
to-last episode fighting to put all of the fires out ahead of the
clock stops.
If anyone was the star of the episode, it definitely was not Lenka, who stood at the centre of the exposition of the narrative, although Sakuya. Join that having a peculiar dialogue where Sakuya contacts Lenka's compass to Lindow (perhaps?), and Lenka becomes The Chosen One of the season. I am not surprised that God Eater needs to make use of this tired trope-- writing and the dialogue have been the poorest parts of the show. It only becomes more insufferable than normal when the writers appear not aware that the trope they are using is far from novel. I believed it was excellent storytelling showing his growth in the chain elsewhere through failure. Now he is done growing, I think. The silver lining is that together with the ending coming up, we are able to anticipate perfect variation of Lenka to go to the last conflict.
Meanwhile, the storyline of Alisa has gone to pot. Both Newtypes are on leave, while Lenka's simply waiting around to be fixed, but Alisa is emotionally busted. Because it seems to have human brains through its wicked smiles and potential ability of language this Vajra is the closest the funny show has to an antagonist. It is no wonder Alisa is enduring. In the beginning, I applauded the show' potency to give a strong PTSD episode showing that her troubles would not fade away like magic to Alisa, but it is like she is in standby. It is almost as when they are not certain where to take her character's storyline from here.
The episode was stunning as usual, when the funding is spent on sundown instead of industrial settings, but I favor. The building of the episode can also be unusual-- why did not they simply roll over the activity at the end, although the credits roll in the fifteen minute mark since there is no room for an ending sequence? We learned a the source of the Aragami, a ton in regards to the God Arc, and an especially concerning tidbit about Lenka's potential lifespan. In once, I recognize that God Eater will be a much better show if it did not need much exposition in the first place, particularly this late in the funny game.
Overall, this week was rather blended. The most positive thing I could say about episode eight is the fact that it kept the tempo up by changing rapidly between increasingly anxious subplots starring Lindow, Lenka, and Alisa. Between sequence -stopping from days gone by that foreshadows the complete apocalypse of our planet, we are totally revved up for the season finale. Yet, understanding that it is finishing so fast makes me question if the choices to give such a stressed psychological hilarious story line to everyone is simply to get us invested for one final spurt in them.
