Short, non-spoiler reviews and hot takes of anime for the newly initiated weeb.
Overall story is painfully, obviously the story for a mobile game. Fate's mental gymnastics for magic rules are rampant, but there's some great fight choreography, as well as inspirational dialogue and speeches.
A fun (though verbose) Fate/Zero spinoff that channels the vibes of Sherlock Holmes, Hogwarts, and the Fate Universe, with a myriad of cameos from other Fate entries.
Studio ufotable flexes on the entire anime industry again with some of the most gorgeous art and animation, coupled with Yuki Kajiura's perfect soundtrack. Unfortunately, the "rules of magic" gymnastics and overly complicated philosophy was distracting and made it more difficult to immerse as the previous movies.
Definitely not a good show to have be your introduction to the Fate universe, even though it does do decent world-building. The music isn’t bad though, and if you like Fate and have seen the other adaptations, it won’t be a total waste of time.
A stress free celebration of food and how it brings people together, starring the cast of Fate/Stay Night.
An emotionally brutal piece, this is the best installment in the Fate franchise yet.
Monogatari-style plot, Fate functionality, and Final Fantasy-type Final Boss. Kind of a chore to watch.
Better, richer, dialogue than in UBW, much more of a Fantasy feel than previous Fate installments, but a solid piece with some outstanding artistic, bone-chilling, and emotional moments.
If you haven't played the game you likely will not enjoy this. I didn't. Even after having played the game it's still pretty empty.
A great start to the best arc of the Fate/Stay Night series. A masterful feat of animation.
