So freaking good!
Sadly they skipped the other questions, I can understand way. But still I wanted to see Ishtar getting smaller and smaller with each gate.

I'm glad that they actually make fake Eresh looking better then I expected.

Also boy, Ueda Kana (VA of Rin, Ishtar and Ereskigal) even after all those years is still able to make that Rin's tsundere voice so lovely as in FSN! ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!

We're entering the mid-phase now and the seriousness with a mix of gag is really faking it for what's about to come next.

Also does anyone have the gif to Ishtar whistling while being praised by Gilgamesh.

So the OP is mostly the same but i liked the first one anyway so thats alright. Also noticed tomoe gozen in the OP. Love the new ED, will probably hit me in the feels later. I'm happy they did the gate scene justice, funny to read when Babylonia came out in NA. So excited for the rest of this anime, Cloverworks doing it good.

And oh sh*t were near the end game

Nice, new OP... well, kind of. If I'm correct, it's just the second half of the song and not the most catchiest part if I'm honest. The visuals and the use of that "sand" effect to blend them together were quite interesting tho.
Regarding the ED, it was a bit better visually speaking since there was some actual animation involved in it. The song... I don't know yet. I guess I will need to listen to it a few more times.

Quite entertaining episode after the two-weeks break. Getting more info about Eresh's background was nice and the funny moments with Gil were as enjoyable as usual.

So in the end, they finally reached Eresh's palace. Honestly, I can't wait to see her and that glorious gothic attire again.

By the way, based on the ED, it seems there are still a few more servants who are yet to be introduced (was that Koujirou?). Not sure when they will show up in the story but I look forward to that moment.

That was Shirou Kotomine from Apocrypha. The 4 characters that appear after Siduri in the ED are Servants that Gil summoned before Chaldea arrived, alongside Ushiwaka, Benkei, Leonidas and Merlin and went MiA.

From right to left, they are:
Tomoe Gozen. She took down one of the most aggressive enemy generals and died in the process. Gil had nothing but the highest praise for her.
Shirou Kotomine. You should who he is from Apocrypha. He was killed by Jaguarman.
Ibaraki-doji. She left, recruited bandits of her own, and held back Humbaba until a certain event in Babylonia. She's still alive, but is considered a rogue Servant.
Fuuma Kotaru. He was sent with Shirou and died the same way.

This isn't a spoiler BTW, since the anime already went way past the point where they were mentioned. They just did a wink to the fans by including them in the ED

The next security system I install will also have a 50% chance of getting the correct password. Seems safe enough to me! That gate was just making fun of them, wasn't it?

Actually this is the first Fate anime that I really enjoy!

But can someone please help me recall why they are going to the underworld? What's the propose? Do they have to get an item or do they have to find a person, why? Did I sleep through the explanatory part of this episode ...

Yeah, it wasnt even the Gate speaking, it was Eresh herself.

They went there to get Gil's soul back.

Hmm. I was honestly expecting a new OP, but instead, Phantom Joke remains the OP song for now, albeit using the second verse and chorus of the song. It's still a great song, though. The visuals for the animation for the OP itself is heavily re-used, but it still works well. It doesn't get away from showing the odd spoiler or two, sadly. However, I do think that this is just a placeholder OP until we get further into the story. I just hope that I'm right on that, along with other users here.

The episode itself was as great as I imagined. During the two-week break from the last episode, I did an almighty play through to complete Babylonia on the mobile game (just so I could partake in the recent Christmas event. XD), so now I can see how the anime adapts the rest of the story.

Although they did shorten the length of the gate segment of the underworld, the anime made this part funnier than the game did. I loved how Ishtar put pressure on Ritsuka to choose her over Ereshkigal during the first question, but when Ishtar got blasted by lightning after getting boastful and cocky, Ritsuka changed his answer so that they could move on. XD

Even better, Gilgamesh had a fun time bullying the pint-sized Ishtar, too. That made me laugh a lot as well. XD

The new ED is great. The visuals with Gilgamesh walking along, then flourishing to the other servants of this arc is great. Milet's song is powerful and is as good as her previous song used for Vinland Saga's second ED, which was also awesome.

Anyway, it's good to have FGO Babylonia back again, so I hope the anime does a solid job with the second half of this story. =D

After a very long wait, great episode as always.

It is revealed that Ishtar is not in Three Goddesses Alliance.

The OP looks ok but the song’s second verse is just amazing.

In the ED, they shows the four heroic spirits that is summoned before Chaldea comes to the singularity, namely Tomoe Gozen, Amakusa Shirou, Fuuma Kotarou, and Ibaraki Douji. I’m glad they didn’t forget them and add to the ED.
Enjoy your day sometimes.

And here I was expecting to see Tomoe being animated and see why so many people like her but welp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guess I will have to wait for another moment then. Thanks a lot for the complete info, by the way.

Also makes you wonder what class he was summoned in. Can't be Ruler in this situation. Amakusa has mentioned Caster is his standard class but if Gilgamesh summoned him as a Caster, he'd have two and will only be missing a Saber-class Servant. He could have been Gilgamesh's Saber-class Servant. Benkei breaks this theory but what if Leonidas I was summoned as a Shielder-class Servant where he definitely qualifies?
Also, what if Gilgamesh summoned Minamoto-no-Raikou instead of Ibaraki? She's definitely the superior demon-slayer and is unlikely to go rogue like Ibaraki did. She could get into a rivalry with Siduri, though.

Great episode!

It is always awesome to see Ishtar having a lot of screen time, and her expression and shot are just so epic, when Fujimaru choosed Ishtar, and reaction was hilarious and cute!

Tiny Ishtar was so adorable, Gilgamesh bullying her was so funny!

Last scene was really awesome, i really want to see Eresh real form, curious for that!

OP was great, and its like a altered from first Op, Ed was new and i liked it a lot!

Feels like it's been so long since the last episode. This episode is absolutely gold. Definitely my favorite comedic one so far.

Gil is great as always. Amazing how much I love Cas Gil when I was only indifferent towards his archer self.

Ishtar sounding more and more like Aqua as Babylonia goes by



I'm glad they cut to the chase and didn't waste any time passing through all 7 gates because the gag got pretty repetitive at that point.

This episode is perfect. It just goes to show again and again that Babylonia didn't really need any gag character like Jaguarman for comedy when Ishtar, Gil and Merlin are already enough.

I hope they add the cut content later into the story.
