----------------------------------------
So... I guess this is the end... Can't say I liked it.
Some of the action near the end looked cool but that's all.
Overall, very pointless anime.

I still can't believe this is a Shaft anime, to me it just looks like it's trying to mimic Shaft's style, but doing it very poorly. And it seems like it's the same director as Monogatari, Madoka, and 3-gatsu no Lion too :/

@Username57 Is this even worth watching if I didn't like the show? Because it just looks and sounds like more of the same.

Yeah, it's just the ending. Nothing too different. I guess some things are explained but I didn't even try to follow it.

This ending convinced more than it was the previous series, I hope he keeps pulling out more fate shaft.

I kinda don't get what happened in the end... where did Rin end up, the first level of SERAPH again? Is she just going to fight from scratch again? Why did her hair turn white? Wtf happened to Earth? Is everyone revived again?

That's real-life Earth and it's her actual hair colour. The Earth and Human civilisation was ruined over the course of 1000 years (all the War contestants are long "dead"). Rin's wish was to revive the planet. Rin was also probably the only one to 'return' to the real world from the Moon Cell thanks to Hakuno restoring her body with his wish at the end.

This stupid hack with a brain full of mushroom should just stick to writing Diarrhea Order instead. All you need to make a Diarrhea Order """""plot""""" is to pull a couple tropes out of a hat, assign them to historical or not so historical figures or cthulhu and hire someone to draw them. After that, pick an established old character from previous works to fall in love with the main character and add lots of screaming and EPIC action scenes told in full text with character portraits flying around and making faces. And that's the full thought process of what goes into a DO plot. You can't go wrong writing a plot for that """"game"""" because the hivemind will eat it all up and ask for more.
The scary thing is he's surrounded by yes-men and according to interviews actually thinks this is what the old fans wanted, on top of thinking that this would bring in new people to try the games, when it did the exact opposite and further isolated Fate to just DO.

That was Earth? But in the end we saw the buildings where Rin was basically "render" in, like a computer graphic. Is that really Earth and not inside Moon Cell?

To add what Ckan already said: Fate/Extra Rin is not F/SN Rin. She is actually F/SN Rins relative (I think niece) but the personality is basically the same.

The black hair is just her "avatar" in the cell, the blonde hair is her real hair meaning that she actually is on earth again.

The wish was to give people on earth a new start and a fresh world. They also mentioned in some episode that some people still live on earth even if earth is bascially destroyed so she is not alone on earth.

I think Shaft's style does not fit the Fate franchise at all.
Personally i kind of enjoyed it, mainly because of the visual design and the music and the character of Nero
But if they done a respectable job at characterization, they botched the fights, which are one of the most important parts of the franchise, aside from the Gawain fight(That was cool)
I respect the fact that they went with an original story and an interesting take on the game, but if you don't know the events of the game you probably won't understand some of the story and how interesting some changes are
in short:I am not disappointed, just embittered

I don't know, I'd say the shafts style is the least of this animes problems. And Extraverse in general since SHAFT did the OP did seem to vibe well with the studio. Though given Last Encore I'd be surprised if at this point we see an anime for a far more deserving work like CCC.

I don't know if their visual storytelling and Heavy dialogue parts fit the franchise
Like i said, the fights were kind of poor, aside from the Gawain one
And Yes,the original Extra wasn't that good and CCC is the superior work

What a nice timing to fight Gawain at sunset... and regarding the fight, I must say they put a little more effort on it. That last blow from Galatine was cool.

And the scene where Nero left a white rose where Hakunon passed away was a nice addition as well.

Actually enjoyed the fight against Gawain. His noble phantasm was really cool.

Oh well, this got to happen first. They'll win eventually I guess.

Hm in my opinion it's always boring if you introduce an opponent in the same episode that he wipes the floor with the hero. Makes him just another overpowered dude with no real personality, same for his servant.

Not utterly bad episode I guess but was kinda lost due to the time skip. Well, two more episodes, at least we can see how they wrap it up.

The fight itself was cool but it was obvious there is no way they could win at this point.

Very nice OP. Nero is so beautiful with her hair down! She looked so sexy in action!
The truth is humanity is never worth saving. It needs to be put out of its misery. The only salvation for it is transhumanism.
Damn, that Nero vs. Gawain fight at the end was so cool, especially when Gawain used Excalibur Galatine. I'm such a sucker for such things.
