| Getting excited to see new 4th season, getting cold here sheesh |
| It was inevitable given how successful this show is for some reason. Just please anyone but Lerche. Doga Kobo's a Kadokawa company now, so maybe??? (cope) |
 |
| Looking forward to their second year. |
 |
| Just now? It seemed to me that they were on the rails after announcing two seasons at once in the past. Also, am I understanding correctly that this is technically not only a sequel to the original anime, but also the beginning of an adaptation of a sequel series? |

| Central character reminds me of Emiya Archer from Fate. It seems that he will also be voiced by Suwabe. |
 |
| Was a matter of time anyways. Though yeah, will they adapt this one at light speed too, that’s the question. |
 |
| Oh shit, nice. I'm sure it'll be yet another season of LN readers complaining about the adaptation. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| I like this series less every new season and over time, but seeeing it's second year now I am starting to get intrigued again.. will probably give this one a chance. |
| Damn, solid news! I thought it was over for the tv series but guess it's still selling like hotcakes, eh? |

| Plz, not Lerche. Also, go back to adapting 3 volumes (s1) instead of 4 (S2 and S3) per season, the pacing was just 2 rushed. Y2V3 actually is even a good stopping point. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| it's going to be the same cycle again. hoping for a new studio/staff. it's Lerche again with the same staff and same uninspiring approach. a lot of ppl will still hope that it will somehow turn out good. yeah, really sick of Kadokawa not caring much about one of the biggest LN ip that they have. don't bother adapting it if it's going to be rushed and tarnish the LN's reputation... |
| Year Two of CotE. It was only a question of when. I won't be expecting much unless, by some miracle, Year Two gets adapted by an entirely different studio. |
