I have been waiting for a next fate series, but this is kinda just messed up.
I know that original fate just had the same old story repeated, but that was the trade mark of fate series.

Right now the animation and choreography makes me feel like watching the monogatari series (which I'm a huge fan of). May be having a different approach is a good idea, but in just my opinion I feel like it is ridiculing the original series (yeah it's just my opinion don't go overboard with that)

In rating if it's on ramen.. I would rate it a 6-7ish pancakes.

[Edit]
Well I could have written a longer review to point out what I was actually saying
I'm not hate commenting on this series
I'm not hate commenting the animation or the crew
It's just that fate isn't fate anymore. That's it.. that's the whole thing I wanted to say.

[Edit 2]
For people telling me to watch other fate series, you can look at my watch list, I have never given a rating less than 10 for any fate series. All monogatari series also got 10.
It just shows how much I love both series (along with other mainstream animes which also got 10) if someone like me felt like this series is not good then it is definitely lacking something. And as I said in previous edit "Fate is not Fate anymore".

Well, the aesthetic and style of the source material game is basically SHAFT: The Video Game. It's not like SHAFT is adapting F/SN, They're doing their own thing, which just happens to be damn perfect for Extra.

Search for Fate/EXTRA in Google Images and you'll see how different it's style is from the other Fate series. As far as style and direction goes, they pretty much nailed the "Extra" look and feel.

Well duh, I know that. I just don't like one anime being completely changing it's style just because of the animation crew(that's just rubbish). Don't think anyone would review without searching for a bit.

But that's what I'm saying. The style didn't "change". That's how an adaptation of Extra should look like, SHAFT or not.

It's not that it looks like this because the crew changed, It's that Type-Moon deliberately chose SHAFT because they're the only ones who can realize that look and Nasu's artistic vision.

It is not good, it is very good

This new saber looks so hot and have very cute voice, I can listen to her all day without getting bored. Also, the fights are entertaining, Liked that Robin hood fights in episode 5

I've liked everything besides Saber in this. Besides Saber, everything else screams Nasu, and I love it. A slightly off main character, unnecessarily detailed and fleshed out setting, a slight mystery plot, focus on "normal" people again, rather than just Heroic Spirits, and a lot of dialogue.

The fights are shit, but what can do, it's SHAFT. I never really liked Fate for fights, so it isn't a big problem for me.

I really don't see why people like this. The only good thing about the it is Saber and the OP song. Everything else is lackluster, or even outright bad. The story is a mess, the characters have basically no development to the point where you wonder why you should even care about them, the animation is subpar, and the music is meh. Fate + Shaft should have been a great combination. But, somehow, this is what we got. It's a disappointment to say the least.

Is this the biggest disappoint of the season? It's rating is pretty bad for a fate series in MAL. I haven't seen a much lower score for a Fate series in MAL before.

Faye grand order was a mess and this is even worse. I like the visuals from Shaft but i dont think they are the right studio for a Fate series.

The story is nonsense though Fate ultra fans keeps telling me otherwise.sorry folks but there is only so much type moon bullshit I can take.

Out of the shows that I'm watching it definitely is. I can't speak for the rest of the season though.

Of course that's nonsense for you, it's just like you're watching a bonus sequel without knowing the prequel. Everything has already be done. So that doesn't surprise me and I accept what you said.
Nasu lied or isn't councious of what he did, but it is not an anime made for people who don't know the story despite all he said. That's all, people didn't lied to you on that point, I'm telling you honestly.
This is excellent for people who already invested all their fucking time in it, reading and playing hundred of hours doing all routes. This is no disappointement (besides fights), this is a gigantic universe, and LE uses it and this is just a matter of what you chose, making an adaptation for people or expanding this universe. He chose the latter, willingly or not, you can't do both with an anime. It may be pretentious for me to say that and I feel bad to say this but many of you guys are somehow left behind in this process.
Just to say I'm okay you say that's bad because you have reasons people who know the story absolutely haven't but (maybe I'm wrong) can you also accept on your side this is may be just great for the many ultra fans you called?

I mean, it'd make sense if you felt like this was like the Monogatari series cause it is the same director

And yeah I agree, this series feels more like a mystery thriller approach rather than the actionish approach with F/Z and F/SN

i thought fate ultra fans would tell u that the only good fate is the porn gaem
"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

Yeah as far as anime onlies are concerned this series is completely broken. I question the tastes of those who haven't played the game and still somehow like this. (The same for people that went from Danganronpa 1 to 3 without playing the second game)

If you want a good fate watch the currently airing Emiya cooking show.

Easy rating of 1-3 Ramen for me, I started 31 shows this season and this one is the worst, other than the overly complex story which results in classic fate standing and talking about shit and flat characters, it's also absolutely horrendous to look at. From the overly saturated colours littering the backgrounds, the characters ranging from boring looking to awfully disproportionate, that red saber girl reaches some level of uncanny valley that make her easily one of my most disliked character designs (they even managed to make Rin not look hot) and the jaring constant random quick cuts directing that feel like the worst possible implementation of "shaf style" it's an exhausting show to sit through.

This anime tries to do a lot with the limited time it's been given but it ends up doing barely anything well, not even the fight scenes are all that good and the things that are semi-decent seem like they're leftovers from other (better) Shaft anime.
I get that they're going for a mystery/thriller approach rather than a typical Fate action approach but that doesn't automatically make the mystery interesting or the show good.

You don't need to play fate extra to watch this anime (from Nasu's point of view)

And we all know thats obviously not true. For anime onlies this can only work as a hook to make then intrested to play the games not as a standalone.

It kinds ticks me off a bit? But I guess I can get where you're coming from. Not like you're saying people shouldn't like it.

Eh, I have... mix feelings with Extra more than anything this season personally. Like, I like some stuff about it yet I hate some stuff about it. I can pin point everything but... I'm just very very very damn mixed with it :S

Yeah, I don't mind if people like it. I actually hate the mindset of "I don't like x, so nobody else should like x" that many people seem to have. The show just doesn't work for me, which I'm surprised is the case. I came into it expecting to like it. But, unfortunately, I don't.

Oh I hate that mentality as well. It's the type that usually sets me off and get really detached from the community from time to time which is unfortunate. Granted people will have their views etc so it's fine to have an opinion but the entitlement can get to someone and well... bad things happen.

That's fine though. Eh, I expected to dislike it myself since I lowered my expectations next to none on my side. But I receive more of a mix bag. As I said: I like some stuff about this entry, and I hate some stuff about this entry.

I feel like it could WORK but sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. At least for me though.
