^ Hhmmm... I guess if it's trying to appeal to the SAO crowd it will have a tough time coming across as entertaining, since SAO is so ridiculously fun and engaging. I'll probably watch it at some point, but every time I ask someone about it my expectations lower further.
I watched a review of it on YouTube before starting to watch it (Gigguk's review), and it gave me enough context to at least know what I was getting myself into. That plus focusing on memorizing character names and descriptions from the first episode really helped me to follow what was happening. But yeah, it is kinda convoluted in the beginning, given that each character has such a massive backstory, and the rules of the Holy Grail War are so many and aren't stated outright. By the end of it, there were still a couple of unanswered questions, which is why I'm itching to play the VN. And yes, the music is fantastic. I mean, Yuki Kajiura... again.
She's everywhere, I swear. The only piece I didn't really like was the ED for the second season, but even that wasn't bad.
It's also really cool how they got actual historical figures, items, and events and brought them to life while giving them a lot of cool twists. It was quite a nerdgasm in that sense.
Ah, Fate Zero. Never finished that one, but I remember it being pretty good. I really couldn't figure out what was happening with the story and characters, which is probably why I ended up dropping it.
Dat OP
