God Eater Season 1

Right now you can watch God Eater Season 1 on and — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 150 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Ryuichi Kijima sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, God Eater Season 1 earns its spot. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry God Eater Season 1 through its more ambitious moments. Season 1 of God Eater includes 13 episodes. It aired from July 2015 to March 2016. This season stars Ryuichi Kijima, Hiroaki Hirata and Kazuya Nakai. Ryuichi Kijima and Hiroaki Hirata lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. God Eater Season 1 resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give God Eater Season 1 a chance. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ryuichi Kijima anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
