THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Seeing Sieg and Ruler casually hang out together feel strange lol
Of course they are preparing to deal with Jack the Ripper.

The buildup from Shirou Kotomine's side is evident although Achilles doesn't seem to trust him. His moments with Semiramis was intimidating and also amusing coming from someone of his personality.

Never trust Jack's master :o

It was a good way to set up a cliffhanger imho.

Good episode, I was worried the "date" part would've been annoying, instead it was cute and didn't divert the attention too much from what was going on and the mission Sieg and Jeanne had.
Also it seems there were a lot of well needed talks about beliefs and the current situation, so even better. I'll wait for subs to judge that part tho, since I didn't get everything that was said.

I'm still waiting for Shirou's full backstory. I can't believe they just skipped it.
Maybe it will be included
later

Interesting episode, it was focused on Sieg, Jeanne and Jack.
I found Reika's death a little weird, the way the arrow pierce her was a bit strange.
We had a cliffhanger at the end, so it seem like we are going to get a fight with Jack and maybe Atalanta.


Sieg at the beginning was like "Ruler, what the hell are you doing?"

Dropped at 3:37.
It was the last straw to casually have a list of every Master spread out on the table. That's a whole aspect of the war completely gone. Characters were poorly written or even if they were written well (Mordred/Necromancer) they were allotted so little screen time that they don't matter. I couldn't care less when a character from this installment died.

Not to mention going off topic and acting like a couple dozen lives were more important than the opposing faction potentially ruining the planet with the Grail.
I didn't even continue watching, but I can only guess it was a "fake date turned real date" trope to waste even more time.

I'm fairly disappointed with this installment. I can only hope Heaven's Feel gets us back to the Fate we know and love.

I Just want to point out that those on the table were not the Masters.
They literally were all Jack's victims, and we know that she mainly targeted mages, especially the Yggdmillennia associates.
It makes perfect sense to have all the informations about your own people killed by the Servant you made them summon.

That's it, I just wanted to point that out.

The script is incredible, but it's a shame they didn't show a flashback of how the hell Assassin became a human servant.

The scenes with Sieg and Jeanne look fine, but not great. If there was a supposed to be a romantic element to them, it certainly could have used improvement. It harkens back to the Spock/Uhura romance in the Star Trek movies.

Still a good episode tho but nothing close to Ufotable tier Fate yet

@LeloTheUnamused

My points still stands that apparently no Master is/was hidden. That whole aspect of the war that's always been a key part of animated Fate was still very much non-existent.

Better to get off here than watching that pairing nonsensically get closer (it's sad that Rider x Seig makes more sense than Ruler x Seig), Masters and Servants both getting killed off unceremoniously (think Cu, think Heracles), wading through episodes that feel very much like pointless filler (isn't the actual goal floating farther away, threatening apocalypse, while they worry about a single Servant killing dozens rather than the group of Servants with THE Grail), and hoping that the next episode will have SOME redeemable action for this installments huge lack of it (which is the biggest draw of Fate to begin with).

It really pales in comparison to previous installments in most/all respects.

I'm done now. Rant over. Wasn't really directing the whole thing at you, but you were a target of part of it. Just venting. 😊

None of their deaths pack a punch. It's one of the biggest problems with this one. Too many characters to give them time for development in so few episodes. It was a poor decision imho.

If Ufotable had animated this would you think they could've done a better job?

Cmon A-1, you had all these episodes up until now. Stop focusing on Sieg x Ruler so much because you're leaving the other interesting characters out to dry. Not saying this show is bad, far from it actually, but there has just been so many missed opportunities to take this a step further like what Ufotable has been doing with Fate

This was a rough episode to get through (Not as in it was bad since I really enjoyed it) because of Jack breaking down and crying at the end for her mother, and then the sacrifice she made for Jack. Man I know they did terrible things and murdered dozens of people, but I still wouldn't have been able to cut Jack and her master down like that, not with Jack crying.

Good to see we final got subs, don't know why it took so many days to get it?

Cut little play date but assassin and her master really got the shaft with screen time. Can't help but feel like this entre middle of this series is just a giant time sponge, ever since Caster summoned that giant monster. That they had to work together to take down.

Hopefully things get back on track and story gets going.

It's not a problem with the studio (although A-1 has done a poor job in adapting certain chapters until now), it's the source material that is what it is. It is considered the weakest Fate for a reason (even tho it's hated far more than it should imho)

That was kinda obvious from the beginning tho. The whole team vs team thing would've obviously took away the aspect of single Masters being hidden.


SaigoKensei said:

I won't argue with that because, as I said, it is the weakest Fate and that's a fact. I just feel like sometimes it gets far more hate that it should, all things considered.

Well, if you're dropping it I suppose we'll see you again in the Fate/Extra threads. I can't wait for those.

And the female scums get what they were heading for. But of course some crap illusionary battle where British people are ok with Jack the Ripper being a stupid 10 years old girl oh my those deviant japs.
And to note: I caught myself thinking of how tragic that is, a distraught female wanting a daughter, protecting her and then perishing, but that was it. I felt no pity for those failures of fictional storytelling what so ever.

Hmm so Ruler and Sieg will be the decoys that will hopefully lure Jack out then. Ruler really looks like a normal girl when she's not in combat though. Ruler is determined to prevent Sieg from using his abilities then. It was nice seeing Sieg interact with people in the town though and learn more about humans. In a way both Ruler and Sieg has changed a lot since their first encounters though. Thats some conviction that Shirou has there though resolving to save even those that killed him as well. Those heartfelt words of Sieg though were cute as was Ruler's reaction. So this was a two pronged assault that Reika and Jack planned then. Though Reika was a villain it was sad to see her die like this though. Her last words to jack were pretty sad. That ending was a surprise though dragging Sieg, Ruler and Atalanta to Jack's past.

The only reason that Ruler and Sieg were decoys was simply because they wanted SoL scenes of them together, wasn't it? That aside, I feel like they're spending way too much time on this Jack stuff; is the main plot really so thin that they need to keep on stalling like this?

Is Fate/Extra next up? I was just excited for Heaven's Feel. Since it's a different story but set in a familiar universe, I won't miss anything by dropping Apocrypha.. hopefully.

I just didn't like the direction this one took or, as you mentioned, the poorer than usual writing. I still love the franchise, this just disappointed me quite a bit. I think my biggest issue with it is that they just had too much too cover in too little time and it caused the whole thing to suffer.

Could I have appreciated everything happening in Apocrypha if it were given that time? I'm sure I could have.

Ah well, on to the next one.

Yeah, Fate/Extra Last Encore should start in the later winter season, probably around january 2018.
And yeah, you won't miss anything, since there aren't other Fate series set in the Apocrypha universe (for now).

I perfectly understand your issues with Apocrypha, and I believe that, while the LN writing is not that excellent, the anime managed to do drag it down a bit, by cutting useful informations/moments of character development and focusing too much on wrong elements/aspects of the story.

If you're still interested in a Fate series with a huge cast of characters well written and better handled than the ones in Apocrypha, with also a crazy intriguing story, I recommend the Fate/Strange Fake light novel.
