It almost makes me want to bump up the story score. It is something this show actually did really well that many other apocalypse shows either ignore or stumble on inelegantly. I did really appreciate all the flashback scenes and explanations how how this all came about and the description of the monsters (Aragami?). It didn't fail particularly at anything, but didn't do anything exceptional either it just served as a familiar spring board for the viewer to get into It isn't anything we haven't seen before, just your standard monster apocalypse type fair.

Story (5/10) - The story honestly wasn't that special. Let's take a look at the score breakdown quick to see where we end up. God Eater is one of those odd shows that starts out as kind of a slow burn for a few episodes at risk of losing you, but then goes from 0-100 real fast to grab you right back in.

Only God Eaters stand between the Aragami and complete and total annihilation of the human race. The monsters continue to be born en masse while the remnants of humanity struggle to survive the night. Now, as one of Fenrir's greatest weapons, Lenka must master his God Arc if he is to fulfill his desire of wiping out the Aragami once and for all. One such God Eater is Lenka Utsugi, a New-Type whose God Arc takes the form of both blade and gun. To combat them, an organization named Fenrir was formed as a last-ditch effort to save humanity through the use of 'God Eaters'-special humans infused with Oracle cells, allowing them to wield the God Arc, the only known weapon capable of killing an Aragami.

They ravaged the land, consuming almost everything in their path and leaving nothing in their wake. Humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction following the emergence of man-eating monsters called 'Aragami' that boast an immunity to conventional weaponry.
