Today's pick in the Daily Anime Pick-Series where I pick one anime each day that I think is worth watching is God Eater!

---

Beforehand this anime was made by ufotable. You might or might not know but this studio has insane animation capabilities. They know how to incorporate CGI into anime very visually appealingly. So you can expect not only a unique look from this anime but also really stunning animation.
God Eater originates from a game. If you're familiar with Monster Hunter then think of God Eater as something similar: You hunt monsters called Aragami and it is more fast paced.
The anime introduces a new character as our protagonist called Lenka Utsugi. He makes sure that there is action for you to see.
The story is about Aragami that threaten humanity and the only known effective weapons are God Arcs which can only be wielded by a compatible human. Such a human is referred to as God Eater.
In this action-filled anime you'll see Lenka Utsugi fighting with his comrades against the Aragami.
What I like especially about this anime is its great use of really amazing insert songs one of which you'll see right in the first episode.
I certainly would recommend watching at least the first episode and then decide if you want to pursue.

Description

The year is 2071. 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. They ravaged the land, consuming almost everything in their path and leaving nothing in their wake. 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. One such God Eater is Lenka Utsugi, a New-Type whose God Arc takes the form of both blade and gun.

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. The monsters continue to be born en masse while the remnants of humanity struggle to survive the night. Only God Eaters stand between the Aragami and complete and total annihilation of the human race.
