Mostly buildup, but I'm excited for what's happening next.

[Twi]

Review here. I'm hyped. Vlad knows how to give epic speeches. I'll give it this, they took this grail war and raised the scale to involve freaking armies.

And Kairi has a bad habit of jacking cars.

I haven't checked out Shakespeare's powers and abilities, but he appears to be a lot like Andersen in that he has next to no combat ability. However, his spiel about being unable to write his own story, but being able to write other people's stories leads me to believe that his Noble Phantasm, whatever it is, might be big trouble for the opposition anyway. It could be that he can boost his allies' stats, or maybe some form of fate manipulation? Of course I might be wrong, it could be something else entirely.

[Ultragunner]

etooo, for the "Hanging Garden of Babylon", is there a "gate" ?

[Incest Emblem]

I think I have it. Caules is the real protagonist of this series.

Caules, the hero we needed

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

And to think, people describe Sieg as the LN protagonist.

You know....after seeing what Modred's personality is like...I can see why Saber didn't want to give her the throne.

She lacks patience and self control. She's easy to taunt and gives in easily to anger.

Also...when Assassin's Master brought out that heart as if it was food.....it made me sick....more so how Assassin ate it....

[GDB]

To be fair, it's not like Arturia pulled Caliburn and was instantly a great leader. She had to go on a journey of discover/education/learning with Sir Kay and Merlin, and then still had Gawain helping her once she became the acting King.

Mordred could easily be taught how to act properly.

Caules is what happen if Shinji was not such a colossal dickbag.

[Twi]

... That's truer than it should be. I'm all for Caules being the protag.

And Shakespeare chewed through the scenery with that speech on why he's running from the fight.

Count me in for this. #CaulesForProtag

As I gone through forums, why people think Sieg is a poor choice to be a protagonist? I mean, come on. What could people expect much from a homunculus who just born to the world recently?

Also, I find it aggravating of how people complaining about Jeanne being a main heroine & doesn't sit well with Astolfo being a "Bro-Rider". Why the complains? Don't like the Apocrypha story, go back to your sacred grounds of Nasuverse.

[XFire]

.....Apocrypha is part of those sacred grounds, though?

And I'm not actually complaining, I like Seig. I just like Caules more, since he seems more relatable thus far.

Honestly, I got nerves on those stuck-up cultists who tend to view Apocrypha as some sort of a defective mockery to the Fate franchise itself. They keep complaining of the author poor choice of main characters to no end. Hell, a few even thought of getting rid of Astolfo, even though it was Astolfo who made this story fairly amusing. Oh, I get it. They blamed Astolfo for keeping the characteristically hollow homunculus who was then made a MC alongside Siegfried's sacrifice.

Didn't realize Fiore was wearing a ponytail. My eyes were busy looking at other parts Her front shots look like it was still her normal hairstyle at times. A lack of animators can mess with the consistency perhaps, which also led to derp faces at parts of the episode, typical of a mid-season A-1 show.

Final battle already, when there's still 18 episodes to go. It's a very big battle so it can span several episodes I guess. There are several matchups in line after all, starting with Chiron and Achilles.
And that's a lot of dragon fang soldiers. How long did Shirou farm all those for use in this war. Give me, there's never enough fangs and bones for leveling skills in FGO.

Really? Normally that's the reaction Strange/Fake gets, Apocrypha was pretty popular from my experience.

[MeoTwister5]

Well that escalated quickly. I imagine a at least one heroic spirit and their master per side will kick the bucket by the time this is over.

[Kanon]

How did a flying fortress end up being an Assassin's noble phantasm? And is she the one producing the skeleton soldiers too? Those abilities seem like something that would be more suitable to a Caster. Anyway, I was really surprised by that. I recalled her talking about the hanging gardens of Babylon before but I was far from imagining she could do that.

The black faction thinks they're at a disadvantage, but both factions are actually about equal. Red is missing Saber (though I assume Shirou sent a message to Sisigo about the battle) and Berserker. Black is missing Saber and Assassin but have two Berserkers.

And yet, I feel if Caules had been the protag, people would be complaining that he was a boring self insert, for the very reasons you describe here.

It's not originally her NP or something, which is why it had to be partially constructed before hand. And isn't Seramiris a Double Class?

Red has Karna and Achilles, and therefore the advantage.
