The first thing that you notice when you start watching this series is the art and animation. The animation is gorges, the best animation I have seen, the landscapes are so detailed and the characters in some moments looks like CGI only they aren't. The soundtrack is really good especially in the action scenes, in those scenes the music mixes such well with the action such gives chills. Before I started watching this series I was afraid that the character development would be like Fate Stay Night 2006 but I am very happy they did justice to the characters and gave them more story and more dialog. The series is very entertaining but it has some flaws, flaws that I can't talk about without spoiling the show but they are very random in a lot of Japanese series.Overall I really enjoyed the show even more than Fate/Zero and I highly recommend it.
... View More~*This show starts at episode 00 NOT 01, currently 00-25 & the OVA ep SunnyDay(watch last)*~ Wow...just wow.. I heard while this was airing back in 2014 that the animation was "the greatest thing thats currently made" & how "amazing & awesome" this was, but I still put this off for two years somehow just thinking in the back of my mind that it has to just be over hype because of its retarded massive fan base. Holy Jesus was I wrong. Right off the bat the first thing I was thinking was "WOW this animation pretty amazing", but I expected it to be equal to Fate/Zero or really any Aniplex title(they're all done very well) but that was just in the beginning(first 5minutes/less?). After it got to the first fight scene I literally bugged out, hands down the best animation of ANY anime to date, the budget for this series HAD to break records for an anime i'm 100% certain. So lets start off, the story is just WOW way better than I expected (fyi I was completely ignorant to any of the story except its prequel Fate/Zero). It surprised me quite a few times and held my attention 100% of the time. Every single episode from 0 & onward didn't skip a beat. You finished one and NEEDED to see the next. The music is just so great, the ops & eds are simply amazing, match perfect. The music in the show matches flawlessly, so much effort & time was put into every single inch of this show. Even things that are so minor you don't even notice every detail has had the time taken out to make it perfection. The English dub is perfect, every voice fits amazing & you can feel the passion in every bit of it. The character designs & artwork are breath taking, no better way to put it. 100% of every detail has been taken for everything. & as I already stated the animation is something that has set a new bar of achievement for the anime world. Now I do have to say there's aspects of Fate/Zero I really enjoyed that were lacking from this like the older group of characters & no hesitation dark actions. But thats not really a complaint as this is the sequel & theirs nothing that can really be done about that, I just thought I should point it out. Definitely watch Fate/Zero before this, even if your not the biggest Fate/Zero fan i'm 100% sure you'll love this. Even though it lacks a bit of what Zero has it brings to the table a lot that Zero didn't have. & If you are a big fan of Zero, you'll be in heaven.5/5 Why? Perfection. This is what every anime should stride to be. This show set a new bar in the anime world. The animation is THE BEST you will currently find, every single episode is theatrical level quality with no half measures the entire show. The story is amazing, nothing to add. The pacing is perfection. The character design & artwork are breath taking, every little detail has been added to everything. You can feel the passion the creators put into this. The music is amazing, everything matches perfectly. The English dub is amazing. I'm not even that big of a Fate fan and I have to say this is hands down one of the greatest well done anime I've ever seen. You WILL like this, I don't care who you are. Quality is quality.
... View MoreA terrible follow up from what was a decent first season. The dialogue between characters was jarring with many eye rolling moments. The plot lacks any depth and most of the characters make completely irrational decisions. The characters also lack any type of historical connection unlike what the first season presented (outside of the occasional mention) and none of their goals are known. Sabre, the only heroic spirit from the first season to play much of a part in this season, lacks the tenacity which she previously possessed and is now a submissive 'seen but not heard' character. One of the most disappointing aspects of this season was that there was no conclusion, the last episode simply sets up the next season. This feels like the producers had too much money, and no enough time/decent script. Don't waste your time on this, it simply isn't worth it.
... View MoreI absolutely hated fate/zero because of the slow pace and tragic ending. there were very few likable characters in it. But this sequel Is just awesome!! beautiful visuals and an amazing soundtrack with a better story than Fate/Zero. The characterization of all the servants was awesome. Archer and Lancer. were badass. I liked Saber in this than in Fate /Zero. Caster was sly but awesome. berserker was also good.The Art, the Animation,Sound were beyond expectations. This anime has set a high-bar for other fighting anime. If you loved "Attack On Titan" and "Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood" then i suggest you check this out.."Trace On"
