Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 1 - Wandering; Agateram

The wandering knight, Bedivere, reaches the end of his journey.

The year is A.D. 1273 in Jerusalem.

The Holy Land has been transformed into a massive desert, the people have been forced out of their homes, and three major powers wage war with each other in this wasteland. The Knights of the Round Table come together to protect the Holy City and their Lion King. With the whole of his kingdom summoned into a strange land, Ozymandias, the Sun-King, quietly plots against the tyranny of this bizarre realm.

The mountain people, protectors of those who were stripped of their land, await their chance at rebellion. In order to fulfill his mission, Bedivere heads for the Holy City where the Lion King rules. There he meets humanity’s final Master, Ritsuka Fujimaru, who has come to Jerusalem, accompanied by his Demi-Servant, Mash Kyrielight, in their quest to restore human history.

Bedivere joins with Fujimaru and his companions to undertake this quest.

TLDR: Like the previous FGO Babylon anime series, this movie was very well animated, full of visually beautiful and sometimes moving moments, with a diverse and memorable cast of characters. However, the story is its weak point, because as expected of an adaptation of a mobile game, the plot is basically just a series of events herding the main characters from Point A to Point B to Point C.
Overall score: 7/10

Note: I am not a FGO player and so will not be comparing the movie to the in-game story. I heard some people complain about things being cut out, but since I do not know ... the game's story, it did not bother me at all.

---

Having been a fan of the Fate franchise since the original Fate/Stay Night anime from Deen, it's been amazing to watch the series expand with so many spinoffs and timelines. FGO brought the franchise to the mainstream mobile gaming community, and has been credited with an above-average story (for a mobile game, or so I heard). So how does this movie, which adapts the 6th arc, hold up? In terms of everything outside of the story, pretty darn well. The story itself, not so much.

Like the Babylon anime, the story follows around Ritsuka and Mash trying to recover the Holy Grail of this particular Singularity and save humanity. Along the way the meet a number of servants, including the Knights of the Round Table who serve Artoria (an alternate version of F/SN Saber), except this time, Artoria serves as an antagonist to the heroes.

I went in not expecting much, but was really blown away by the visuals. The scenery is stunning, and I loved the change in art style when Bedivere reminisces about his memories of Artoria. The fight scenes were much better than expected too, with decent choreography and camera angles showing the cool swordplay from Bedivere. I absolutely recommend this movie on the animation and art element alone.

However, the story is undoubtedly the weak point of the movie. Aside from being a little curious about why the Artoria of this world has become a villain, I was not too engaged with the movie's plot, which basically involved going from place to place to meet another new hero. Go to X to meet Artoria, go to Y to meet Ozymandias, go to C to meet Hassan, etc. etc. It honestly felt kind of tedious, and I was just waiting for the next scene where Bedivere did something cool.

In terms of music, it was a bit generic, but did its job. Sakamoto Maaya's ending song was pretty great too, with a good buildup with the quiet intro into a cool rock song.

All in all, if you loved the FGO Babylon anime, you will definitely love this movie too. If you are hoping for a Fate story closer to Fate/Zero, UBW, or HF, then you will be sorely disappointed. If you can enjoy an anime just for its visuals and action scenes without much attention to story, then this should be well worth watching.

Story: 5/10
Art; 9/10
Sound; 7/10
Character: 7/10
Enjoyment: 8/10
Overall: 7/10

Mixed Feelings

I don't know what to say. It is a very disappointing film.
It's both bad as a movie and as an adaptation.

The story is very rush yet slow at the same time. The dialogues of the characters aren't fleshed out and they talk as if they've already have years of friendship when they all just met for awhile.
In the game, the character interactions is one of the best things and easily one of the game's highlights. Here, they butchered it with superficial dialogues that doesn't contribute to sh*t.
With the slow parts, I'm talking about the dead spaces in the movie where it can be easily removed ... and get replaced by more fleshed out conversations.
The plot itself is great, just the execution and the way the adaptation handles it makes it pretty bad.

The characters for me is pretty hard to rate, because as a FGO player, I am biased to them. I love all of the cast, but do I think they were handled well in this film? Absolutely not. Hence the low score.

The animation is good. It isn't exceptional by any means. There are times where the animation doesn't portray what the game is supposed to be. Like Mordred for example. To give you an insight on what is she supposed to be based on the game, she's supposed to be like Saber Alter from Heaven's Feel who spams laser beams every strike she makes.
Also, the art isn't really consistent enough. It's unfortunate since this is one of the best-looking NON-UFOTABLE movies that I've seen.

The music is pretty good. The OST and the ED theme is surprisingly decent, just the way they are implemented in each scenes that makes them not stand out imo.

Overall, it's a mix-bag of a movie. If you're a diehard fan of Fate like me, then you'd be disappointed. Or even if you're just an anime-only Fate fan, you wouldn't be satisfied by this movie.

What a potential waste...
i played the singularity and camelot is my fav singularity so i was so hyped when i heard camelot was getting an anime adaption. I watched it and if i need to summarize it into a one sentence that would be "its absolute trash"

I will start with the plot. But the problem is theres no plot to talk about, in game version the "plot" continued like go there do that go there do that until we defeat our enemy it wasnt great to begin. The movie makes it much worse and turns it into something like "teleport here ... do nothing teleport here" instead of traveling non stop.Most of the fight scenes were cut off and two major characters named Touta and Hassan of the Hundred Faces were cut off. Yet the studio made a freaking mash and nitocris bath scene. Yeah two hotties can have a bath scene but major characters cant get a debut. About the fights scenes they cut too much. I expected to fight scenes like where we fight ghosts and sphinxes etc were to be cut but oh boy... i was wrong they cut all of the hassans vs chaldea and ozymandias vs chaldea fights scenes which is a total bullshits cuz its IMPORTANT. And the dialogues werent that great. Camelot is the most depressing and philosophic singularity among the first 7. But we didnt even catch a glimpse of it in the movie.

I would have said art was pretty good if the MALE SERVANTS WERENT ON STEROIDS. Whats the deal with the gawain and cursed arm what am i watching jojo or fate.And Bedivere's noble phantasm... Its terrifying but not for the enemies for our eyes. Every frame of it was bad. Except the male servants da vinci's mash's and gudao's character design was too much off the source. Mash literally didnt have a genuine human neck. Except the character design the art syle is pretty good. I loved how they animated the noble phantasms and the place designs. Temples were gorgeous. I think place designs did a good job reflecting the people there. The last think i will say about art is Arash's noble phantasm. I didnt expect much from the scene but its stunning. I can say the movies best part is that specific scene easily.

Sound is the only thing thats great in the moviesi guess the ost's were great and the timings were great too. They are not on a masterpiece level but they are not bad.

Conclusion: If u are a ozymandias/sanzang/rhongomyniad/mordred/arash fan watch this. If not its a total waste of time. Just play the game. The movie was 1.5 hours and only 4 minutes of it (which is the stella scene sanzang vs agravain scene and the speech of ozymandias) enjoyable.
