Jack gets a lot of (deserved) crap for her character design, but I actually thought the episode where Jeanne and Atalanta enter her world was pretty deece.

I'm really glad this "cameo" did not get botched and can't actually wait for the next episode.

I just watched episode 22. That was... special, even for A-1. Karna vs Siegfried was the one thing (after Karna vs Vlad) I was looking for in this shitshow and you couldn't even tell what was happening.

Karna's attacks were so hot they broke through the 4th wall and were melting the camera we were watching it from. That's how awesomely powerful he was.

To be honest, I think that was genuinely part of the effect they were going for, with the audience’s vision distorted by the sheer heat the combatants’ attacks were giving off.

Jeanne going from "come on this is obviously all fake" to freaking out about Sieg's obviously fake head in the space of a minute or two seemed kind of dumb. At least the good characters got to be cool.

At least Mordred managed to punk Astolfo one last time by not instantly killing Semiramis.Sindai posted:Jeanne going from "come on this is obviously all fake" to freaking out about Sieg's obviously fake head in the space of a minute or two seemed kind of dumb. It's more that she can't really be guilt-tripped by her actions in her life. But yeah, it doesn't come off very well just why she's freaking out over Sieg. Sure, she feels a bit of guilt that he got involved in the Holy Grail War when he didn't have to but it was his choice, just as it was hers to leave behind her loved ones.

"Gets to you even though you know it's fake" seems like exactly the property a magical playwright's special move would have. And an old friend is here, to show us the greatest cool.

She already no-sold Jack's noble phantasm so Shakespeare showing her Sieg being Sieg while being set on fire makes me wonder what shes freaking out about.

Yeah the Jeanne stuff fell flat. It's okay to have a stoic, kinda boring character in a romance if they have someone more charismatic to bounce off of them, but if their love interest is also boring and fairly flat then instead of chemistry you're going to get two inert lumps of minerals sitting next to each other in a flask

So I watched this on Netflix and it kinda just ended in the middle of nowhere. I'm just a little confused? What the hell was the point in building up and alluding to Dracula only to have him hilariously job for an entire episode?

I liked how Gilles became more and more Fate/Zero as it went on. Also didn't Sieg tell Jeanne that he decided to get fully involved out of his own free will? Besides technically he first became involved when he was made in the basement lab, before she even showed up.

Poil posted:I liked how Gilles became more and more Fate/Zero as it went on. I mean, he got a chance leave things behind after getting Siegfried's heart. Jeanne more or less went out of her way to give him a way out but he couldn't stay out. It's obviously a bit hypocritical of her and she basically tells him to be very careful every time.

I watched Season One all the way through on Netflix finally. Season 2 must have gotten really bad to make people so negative, because despite the pacing problems in the first few episodes I enjoyed them and the cast plenty, and episodes 6 and 9 through 11 more than justify the show's existence on their own. For the later, Fran's battle with Shirou/Shakespeare, her traumatic flashback, and the 3-on-1 curbstomp battle between Seig, Astolfo and Fran vs Mordred leading up to that failed sacrifice and Seigfried's return bringing the teaser full circle were all fantastic. The big Dracula Battle in Ep. 12 was nothing but an anti-climax after that. For the former, Episode 6 might just rank among my top 10 favorite single episodes in all of Fate Anime. Mordred's backstory flashback and general characterization, the fight with Jack and her characterization (drat did she win me over fast when I came in ready to despise her), and the brief fights between Shishigo and Fiore and Chiron and Mordred all made for a stellar stand-alone piece.

mordred is really good, there just isnt enough of her all the other series have focused around saber so why are they instead focusing on this bland nobody who is only saber some of the time but isn't the good saber

This probably would have been quite a bit better if Sieg was like in this episode, but maybe from episode 7 or 8 or so. And then developed more from there.

why not just have siegfried have the romance with jeanne and be the hero you could write him basically the same way but siegfried has actual pathos and also i wouldnt be as annoyed when he does siegfried things, and having a fate/ thing where a servant is the unabashed protagonist would actually be interesting

Endorph posted:why not just have siegfried have the romance with jeanne and be the hero Because the biggest argument against humanity needing to have salvation forced upon them is for an explicitly subhuman character to prove themselves the greatest hero of the War. Having Siegfried be the protagonist would just turn it into a generic X-Men/Gundam SEED-style story of superhumans bickering about whether they should tolerate humanity. All they really needed to do was make Sieg endearing, and it’s not like they didn’t have a vast range of material already to draw from - ‘artificial being learns to become human’ is one of the staple anime plots, and there’s plenty of examples of it being executed in a fun and charming way.

For something that's 25 episodes, the build-up to most of these fights are kinda rear end. Chiron/Achilles was the only that felt deserved of the tension and weight, and even that seems undercooked compared to even Cu/Emiya.

Ep. 24, in which Sieg fucks it up for all of humanity by suddenly developing a terminal case of generic shounen protagonist sensibilities Reminds me of all the "goddammit emiya" moments in FSN, kind of nostalgic.

So it was kind of unclear in the episode, but was Shirou's plan for salvation to turn off death for humans?
