Fate/Grand Carnival

Story x Character: 9
It's a mess but I dont give a damn honestly.
From Nero, to CU CHULLAIN GA SHINDA, to Orion getting sniped, its really fun seeing how the Servants would act if the story was a Comedy
(since yknow Grail War)

Art: 9
Seeing Servants drawn/animated in the Anime's art compared to their versions in the Game is kind of refreshing and fun to see

Sound: 8
Super Affection OP? With Grand Order Seiyuus? Straight 8
...
Enjoyment: 9
Any Adaptation of FGO is such a blast to watch(or Read)

Overall: 8
Even though FGO is one of my fav mobile games, I cant let Bias get in the way of judging
Would have loved to see like 12-24 episodes of FGC honestly, but hey this is still very much fine, just gonna wait another 10 years I suppose

If you enjoyed Carnival Phantasm and came here expecting a similar experience, Fate/Grand Carnival completely differs from its predecessor. This anime is a fan-service towards the audience that enjoys Fate/Grand Order.

To clarify what Grand Carnival differs from Carnival Phantasm is that you would not understand the context of various scenarios when gags or jokes are used, unless you've actually played the game and understand what the FGO community is like. There are of course, familiar characters but they follow the context of what commonly occurs in the game such as in-game events that people who have played the game are aware of.

I have played ... FGO for a long time now and with my understanding of the game, Fate/Grand Carnival actually carries the soul of what was Carnival Phantasm. You're whole enjoyment of this anime is solely reliant of your understanding of Fate/Grand Order, where if you haven't played the game, then everything will go over your head.

If you have actually played the game (or know anything about FGO), then I am sure that you will enjoy Grand Carnival the same as you would have with Carnival Phantasm.

Alarm bells rung loud and clear within seconds of the OP starting. A bad cover of the original season a decade previous complete with animation made to resemble, but fail to recapture the magic of, that fun little romp.
Unfunny, thoroughly uncharming and a chore to suffer through even at it's short run time. A pale imitation of carnival phantasm at best and a damning indictment of the state of type-moon as a company/franchise in recent years at worst.

the animation is passable. that is the only redeeming thing i can say for it.

go play melty blood instead of this.
