In an announcement made today on the official God Eater website (and in two tweets shown below) came the news that the first episode of the anime will be delayed. Originally, the God Eater premiere was going to make its debut on July 5th on Tokyo MX. Instead of the first episode, there will be a broadcast of a special program called “God Eater Extra.” According to the news post, the first episode will be appearing the following weekend instead.

The announcement tweets are below:

The tweets describe that they have posted an apology on the official God Eater website, that they are working hard and to look forward to the upcoming anime.

The anime, which is being produced by studio ufotable is one of the most highly anticipated shows of the Summer 2015 season. Daisuki describes the show as:

So instead, expect to see the God Eater premiere on Sunday July 12th. How do you all feel about this? Let us know in the comments below.
