I'm just expecting a fat "SEASON 2 IN WINTER 2016!" at the end of this show.
I feel like killing Shalltear isn't something that the writer wants to be permanent, it doesn't seem like the kind of show that would really benefit from having key characters dying as much as something like Shingeki no Kyojin or Akame ga Kill were. So for once, I hope they cop out of his current plan.

It'd be such a waste to hire Sumire and then kill her.

So episode 9 of God Eater is going to be the last? If this is true... I haven't seen an anime actually get cancelled since Prayers back in 2005.

I wish I knew what happened to UFOTable.

My guess is UBW happened and they realized (correctly) they needed their resources on that show. With God Eater out right after UBW, they didn't even get started yet and were working from nothing. Enter 13 other studios with two directors in charge probably led to serious conflicts of quality control.

I feel like the writer of this show saw a certain movie.

Charlotte 13:

What's with all the English lately?

Thoughts:

Eh, I never got into this show like the others. It had it's moments, but I would've preferred the main dude keep being a jerk for a lot longer. All well, at least I learned what the name was.

6/10.

I never get tired of the Engrish.

It was definitely a weaker work by Jun, on a personal level I didn't like the introduction of time travel, on a greater scale, I thought the whole savior of the people ending was full of shit. I really liked the first half, it was a strong 9/10 coming out of the gates, and I thought the episode when he was in depair over Ayu was fantastically done relative to other shows with similar plots. While I appreciate that they want us to figure out the connection between Zhiend and Yu, while most anime just shove these metaphors, "twists" even in your face obnoxiously, Charlotte should have given us a small bit of closure on that avenue towards the end to let us know that whatever theory we have may or may not be correct. Some anime (very few) know how to balance the scale of letting the audience figure things out, and pushing the answer onto you like a divorced aunt, Charlotte was almost there but not quite.

Overall, I'll give this show a 7/10, again the first half was fantastic, and I liked the characters overall.

Overlord 13:

I wonder how many people am I going to run into with the name Touch Me.

Overall:

The show started out as something I was concerned about, but once they got out of the damn tower things shot up real fast. I enjoyed the story concept of following the "bad guys" or at least one of them, and the story brought an interesting bunch of characters. I'm not sure meshing the story with gaming, but it didn't feel like a detracting factor, so it's all good. The only fault I'd say is the pacing on some of the segments.

Overall 8/10. Enjoyable show.

^^Pretty much this.
I'm not sure why Madhouse is on an "Overpowered Main Character" spree, but I'm not tired of it yet. I feel that the creator wanted to tell his story in an MMO setting, but didn't want to bother with the semantics that SAO did with "what's happening to our bodies" or "how do we get out of here?", and as long as you can take the setting at face value, it's definitely not a detraction from the story.
As I've mentioned before, my only real pacing issue with the show was the "Protecting the Alchemist" arc, that should have cut 3 episodes into 1-1.5. Aside from that, I wish the animation had been a bit sharper, and maybe some more exciting music to go with the theme of the show.

I'm also giving it an 8/10
