Crunchyroll at least has forward facing people who make the company seem fun and connected with the fandom, so it's way more palatable to me than Amazon trying to silently muscle in... and mostly doing so by just getting licenses from Sentai. meanwhile Sentai can't offload everything to them so you've got really sad shows languishing on HiDive. when it comes to Netflix, they're taking more of a producer role with their acquisitions, so I can at least see they're financially supporting the industry directly, and I'm forgiving that they have a different audience and production pipeline that doesn't match with simulcasts.

you could make a relatively easy case for how Nero isnt as nuanced in recent appearances like Extella or Septem in Fate/Grand Order. if anything, that these two things have formed many new fans' first impressions of Nero is a good and not lazy reason to cast her in the main role for an adaptation of a game where she gets a lot of characterization they aren't familiar with.

anyways we barely know whats up with the anime except for the leading impression's we've gleaned from the PVs. maybe withhold the 1/10 MAL review score until you've actually seen the show

Can’t speak for your specific tastes, but the usual favourites EMIYA and Cuchulainn do show up. Also, Gilgamesh appears in the sequel, and he’s actually kind of charming this time around.

Gawain is decent, but he's only really interesting in CCC. In Extra he's just kind of a jerk since he's an antagonist. Li Shuwen is really forgettable. Robin Hood is really good, but doesn't get much screentime. All the masters in Fate/Extra are pretty bland.

Really, Fate/Extra in general is pretty bland. CCC is the best thing Nasu's ever been involved in but the first game is mostly just a few amusing characters stapled to a really boring plot with a bunch of characters who get no screentime. CCC does a ton to flesh out everyone from extra and give the story actual themes and poo poo.

I'm having a lot of fun with Unlimited Blade Works. It's kind of dumb and plodding at times, but I'm having a lot of fun with the characters and their crazy wizard plot twists.

The basic premise is so much fun that I wish the show would let itself have a little more fun. I know it's capable of it: there's occasional bits of inspired humor. It's just that, for an anime with a plot that most closely resembles The Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny, the whole thing is so self-serious most of the time.

the anime adaptation does kind of cut some of the humor for time. plus a lot of the humor in the visual novel came from the tiger dojos, the things you got when you went down a wrong route, which obviously aren't in the anime. F/SN is a little self-serious, but the anime adaptations excise pretty much all of its sillier beats.

Fate/Zero having Tiger DojosEinzberg Consultation Rooms will always be one of the good bits of the anime. It also ends in a nice hopeful note too.
