Anime: Informal Review/Commentary: Fate/Zero Season One, Episode Four

Welcome back! Hope you had a great day! Lets get on with it, shall we? (Edited/Added To help navigate my site) Screen Shot 2018-04-29 at 21.40.47.pngYou have quite pretty eyes, you don’t seem evil either so I hope you don’t die, though I am interested in who your master is.  Screen Shot 2018-04-29 at 22.56.39.pngYes! The movements seem really good so far, I can actually see whats happening unlike other anime’s where they make their movements to quick to see properly. Also the music is interesting, it works really well with the fight but not at a fast pace like I expected.  Screen Shot 2018-04-29 at 23.01.02.png        I am liking him less and less ever since since he seems to have cheated on Iri. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It feels rather patronising, maybe he really is looking down on Saber because she’s a women.  Screen Shot 2018-05-02 at 20.12.42.png .       Huh? I did not notice that before, is there a reason her sword seems to be invisible? It looks kind of strange. I also did think she’d be better than this? But I guess she’s facing a strong opponent, I seriously want to learn who he is though.  Screen Shot 2018-05-02 at 20.17.41.png .                Well good game plan at least, I guess?  Screen Shot 2018-05-02 at 20.28.48.png So the assassin I’m assuming is from the darkness or shadow whatever that was last episode…I think. And ha, your minions been spotted already, to bad for you 😛  Screen Shot 2018-05-02 at 20.31.41.png Oh so like power levels? Sweet! Screen Shot 2018-05-02 at 20.35.28.png She is a homunculas, what?! So she’s an artificial created human? Or am I just thinking about full metal alchemist brotherhood to much?I thought you just said that Assassin was in your blind spot? How are you meant to attack him? Oh! Okay, right so she can use wind magic now? I wonder what other magic she can use? Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 00.26.25.png It seems like you’ve underestimated him idiot, though if you haven’t and it turns out you can destroy this guy no problem like some animes where it lets you believe the hero of the story is getting beaten when it turns out they can destroy their enemy easily though if thats the case then why that expression? Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 18.01.55.pngI will be shocked if this plan works, number one rule in all shows if you talk about your plan or the viewers sees a flashback like this then it most probably is not going to go how you want it to.  Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 18.03.47.png This was a surprise…. note my sarcasm, why did you think that blow was going to miss its mark? You’ve already seen and felt how good he is? Why expect him to make a mistake now? Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 18.06.07.png oh yeah, healing powers, I may have forgotten about that, at least she doesn’t have to worry so much about being injured with a healer at her side.  Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 18.07.56.png Oh okay, forget what I said, I guess this explains why she thought her plan would work but I suppose that means her armour is magically “strong” as well or is it like, just really thick armour. Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 18.10.47.pngWow okay can I have that spear then and that armour? Mind if I borrow them? Now those are some pretty useful weapons and tools are your disposal. Gimme!  Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 18.18.27.png Love the fast paced music, the fighting style is really animated well. I’m not sure if I mentioned  that I really love the fact that they both seem respectful towards each other. Instead of the first enemy she faces being a massive dick. I guess it makes sense that she’d take away her armour, its not exactly useful at the moment.  Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 22.52.31.png Not really as I doubt you’d be able to take them all down in one swoop, the hunting them down individually makes more sense to me to be honest.  Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 22.55.05.png Yeah I agree with Waver on this one, I think your servants being a idiot here. Dam honour, you could die, does someone need to hit that into your thick skull, maybe Saber? Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 22.58.04.pngApart from the fact this isn’t a conquest dude! You’re trying to kill them all, not take over a part of land with a army.  Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 23.01.18.png Oooh, can I have that spear as well? Very cool weapons here. It seems this guy isn’t going to die any time soon or we wouldn’t be learning so much about him. I like him a lot more than his master, who can’t seem to understand the meaning of respect and honour in battle. I don’t mind it being shown as long as its not a problem that gets them killed, like I was thinking about with Waver and Rider. Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 23.06.07.pngYou know what, never mind what I said, now is a great time to intervene Rider! I don’t want either of them to die! Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 23.07.51.png Now that is a epic entrance! Yes! Thank you for listening to me show! Ha. I love how Waver and Rider have two completely different expressions on their faces, they’re defiantly a fun pair to watch, just make sure you don’t die. Its only been a couple of episodes and I am already confused about who to root for, ha. Screen Shot 2018-05-03 at 23.13.27.pngThis is amazing. love the music to go with it. Though at the same time, I know how you feel Waver, haha. I’m starting to feel sorry for the kid. He did get himself into this mess but at the same time it feels like he is being dragged along for the ride. Get it? Ride, Rider, yeah….I won’t try that again.  Last Sentence Take Away: Well I won’t be remembering Rider and Lancers name any time soon. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a serious fight (aiming to kill each other) that was this well mannered and respectful to each other, well done.

Anime: Informal Review/Commentary: Fate/Zero Season One, Episode Two

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed my first episode, now on to the next one! I will also tag these with Fate/ZeroPC so you should be able to find them. Can’t wait to get started! Edited/Added (Making it easier to navigate) 

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 00.14.24

A mysterious dark atmosphere and and eye, well thats one way to start of an episode. Isn’t that the kid? Well, young adult, whatever his age. Why would he be hiding?

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 16.39.00

Well they don’t get along, as soon as I saw him I had a feeling they wouldn’t. I wonder why he is his servant, they just seem so different from each other? I guess they don’t have compatible personality’s unless one of them has a secret side and they have something similar with each other which would be interesting to see. Also why saddle the kid with someone who wants to rule the world, lol. Well I rather like the dream though he is right about him having to toughen up a bit, especially if he wants to get the holy grail. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 16.57.17

Hell yes I am satisfied! That was amazing! Wait so that was a gift from Zeus? Gods like that exist in this anime? Or are the mages able to bring myth to “reality” ? Its probably best you don’t anger him kid! The three commands was also useful info, I’m glad to know that the masters don’t have absolute control over them and they’re they are there own people. Though I do believe that these two will form a very close bond over time despite not liking each other at first.

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 17.05.28.pngThis is so cute! I am assuming because of her looks she is his and Iri’s daughter? I love how he is in all black but she stands out with her purple clothes in the woods. It also makes me feel sad because of how innocent she is and what’ll happen when she finds out her father does, though I am really happy he is spending quality time with his daughter. A lot more happy and navie compared to Rin but I think I’m falling in love them both. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 17.15.19

Oh wow! What a reveal! I did think for a couple of seconds that they had gotten the wrong servant and not thinking about my thoughts last episodes about Arthur being a women. Though does that mean Arthur was a made up name to keep people from knowing she is a women? Or if Arthur is still her true name, why is Iri calling her Saber? Unless maybe they have their real names from that era and their servant names? Maybe?

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 18.13.20

Now this is an odd pair, I wonder who the serial killer guy is, a very interesting character, the both of them. Though I do wonder how the summoning got mistaking for summoning demons, unless this servant is actually a demon but I think he/it said they were a caster? Whatever that means. Last episode I remember hearing that everyone who is chosen has a reason to seek out the Holy Grail, I wonder what the serial killers reason will be and he like knows nothing about it. At first I thought it was funny that this Servant was so different but the way he is talking to the kid and telling him to walk out the door is giving me the creeps….

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 18.22.27

 I knew it! Oh god, poor kid! 

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 18.24.47

I am honestly so interested in this partnership and also creeped out at the same time. I almost smiled when the servant was so happy that his master understood him, whats wrong with me, rooting for basically serial killers and possibly a demon, haha. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 18.34.06

Why do you need a new name? I want to know you’re name from the era you’ve come from! No fair! Though is that the reason why the servant that was Arthur is now called Saber? Do they change their names to suit this era more? Why….. Though I swear if his/its real name is Mordred, Arthur/Saber better nope out of there fast if she meets it/him, which I assume she will at some point. I’m still calling them an it until until I know for sure the serial killer didn’t actually summon a demon. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 18.40.54

I still don’t understand this, how can the assassin (I believe this is the assassin) Wasn’t he there before? I don’t think he was summoned around the same time as the rest, I’m confused though the music is great and I wonder who he is trying to assassinate, do I know them or not?

Screen Shot 2018-04-26 at 21.22.44

I have so many questions! No it can’t be over! Wow I feel like this went by in a much shorter time than the other one. I thought he was trying to someone, not still a jewel? Is he dead? Is the assassin really dead? Who is that knight in shining armour guy? I mean I know he must be a servant but which one and who is his master? So many questions so little answers! Can’t wait for more!

Last Sentence Take Away: 

Is the Assassin dead? I doubt it but I do really want to see what happens when a Servant dies and we weren’t exactly attached to him anyway apart from knowing his sneak skills are epic.

Anime: Informal Review/Commentary: Fate/Zero Season One, Episode One

New format for anime. Edited/Added (Easier to Navigate)

Welcome to the new anime series that I will be watching, this will be more of a commentary of sorts and anything else I want to add. I will screen shot certain scenes as I watch the anime and put my thoughts below. These should be short but I will make them longer depending on how much commentary I want to write. Hope you enjoy!

Screen Shot 2018-04-24 at 18.56.51

What now? What is going on? So her name is Iri? I can not spell the guys name at all. I’m guessing that the baby will be our main character? Secretive father, whats knew? Though I think it be best if you run away Iri, he is handing you death flags right there. I will be surprised if you survive the series to be honest. I have to say I do like her eyes, I’m not sure why. Maybe because red eyes usually are for the bad guys but they somehow make hers look really caring and pretty. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-24 at 19.09.34

I am a little unsettled at how white everything looks, I don’t know, I guess I don’t like those type of surroundings and it makes everything feel fake, to perfect, to shiny. Despite the blizzard I can really imagine this castle being surrounded by darkness but maybe thats just me. The scene before that confused to to no end so I can’t wait to know more, like what battle? Are they like royalty? I assume they both are incredibly rich and/or important to be living in somewhere like that. I do like that they both seem good hearted and I wanted to give the guy a hug when he basically said he doesn’t deserve to hold his daughter, of course you do random stranger- who- I-have- no- clue- about- the- past- and-its- most- probably- something- horrific- by- the- way- he- is- talking- but- I-don’t- care, hug your daughter man! YES, thank you. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-24 at 19.21.28

The guy who is pouring the cup, I am calling it now that his a bad guy, mainly because of this imagery. You can not tell me that this wine does not look at all like blood. I would not be surprised if he turned out to be some kind of vampire and the way he is talking is making me uncomfortable. Oh that means that symbol on the fathers hand earler means something and not just some cool character design, symbolism type thing? Cool!

Screen Shot 2018-04-24 at 19.31.55.png

Are they seriously circling him like sharks? Leave him alone! Have they read the how to be a bad guy mantel 101? Though this is getting interesting. So I gather that they are going to team up in secret and kill the other “masters” whatever that means. They are doing to to stop the other masters from reaching the Holy Grail which can grant them wishes? Yeah this is probably completely wrong but this is what I am getting at the moment. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-24 at 20.55.25.png

Crest worms? What the? I’m guessing that its nothing good. Anything that is called Crest Worms can’t be good. So he is offering himself to fight instead of doing whatever they are doing to that women, I’m not sure what the relationship between them yet is. I assume it’ll be giving him problems in the future once his somehow gained power from them.

Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 08.37.47.png

This evil guy is his dad? Bloody hell. So these are the crest worms? What the hell? They are so creepy. I have no idea how those worms work, how does them “breeding” make you magically stronger? So strange. I assumed that he’d be injected with some kind of worms so they’d be inside him or something like that, not that he’d have to lie in them, they remind me of cockroaches, ugh. Well his reason to find the Holy Grail seems definitely better than the other guys but doesn’t he have to be like chosen first and have one of those odd markings on his hand? I’m confused. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 08.51.39.png

Another main character I guess? Or supporting character. We either have a lot of main characters or our actual protagonist hasn’t shown themselves yet. Oooh interesting so this anime probably will have a lot of class issues going on due to blood line and the way magic develops. I wonder which ones right, I hope the character that wrote the essay is right but then why would the bloodline generation thing be a problem if anyone could get really powerful with the right training? That package or/and book looks important, please read it or/and open it!Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 19.16.53.png

You’re getting yourself into a lot of trouble kid, I hope you really are very talented or you may die very soon. I have a feeling that trying to become one of the chosen ones is going to be lot harder than you think. All the servants look so awesome, I wonder which one he will get?Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 20.02.43.png

Ooh, so that is the assassin servant? Nice! This even more confirms that you are someone I don’t want getting the Holy Grail, mmmm, I wonder if he’ll kill one of the supporting characters that I’ll get to know or main character that is. Anyway I hope you lose and get yourself killed. Is it me or do so far most of the guys in this anime names begin with K? Whats up with that? Those drawings in the room also look fascinating, they look a bit like wings. Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 20.13.57.png

I remembered his name! Yes! This guys name is Kirei, for the life of me I will not be able to remember his other name and the only other person I remember their name so far is the women Iri. Anyway I really love this back and forth, what a way to do exposition! Love it! I seriously can’t wait to find out who the other masters are. I love how they are both so confused by each other but seem similar at the same time. Both assuming the worst about each other I see. Despite all the assassinations I am still rooting for the guy with Iri. I wonder how powerful Iri is and if she’ll have more spot light at some point or is she just the “love interest”? Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 20.24.30.png

Bloody hell! I didn’t realise that was him at first, I thought we were being introduced to a new master. Well looks like he has been chosen but I wish I knew how it happens. Well I was definitely right about thinking those worms wouldn’t be good for him. He was in there for a whole year? What?! I had no idea they were going to go inside him like that! So creepy. And also what a crappy father. You’ve got extra magic from this right? Please get revenge on your father at some point, he deserves it! Also please don’t die… 

Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 20.35.09.png

It’ll be quite funny if he doesn’t end up with King Arthur like he is expecting. Yay I know that his a good guy despite the assassination details. I really love the look of this weapon also. The fact they all have different reasons to why they want to do this and the way this anime is giving the characters a lot of time to shine is great. Why did I not watch this anime sooner? Also the King Arthur servant surprised me, does that mean a lot of this or some will be based a little on the King Arthur myths like Seven Deadly Sins? Cool. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 20.57.18.pngSee, Rin! Isn’t that a easy name to remember? Yes! I wonder if she’ll be a main character in the future? I though she was his daughter at first, ha. I hope she is in the story more! I like her! Did not expect that creepy guy to be her father though. She is so cute and I love her attitude. The light shining behind them also makes it so maybe they could be Kirei’s reason for staying alive, protecting her husband and his daughter. Or who knows, he might fail and the girl could grow up and try and get revenge on Kirei for failing to protect her father. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 23.13.33.png

This is getting epic, so far my two favourite masters are the guy with silver hair because of the worms, I think he deserves the Grail because he is basically sacrificing himself to save that girl and I assume a women that I heard about in the beginning. Though I also want the guy above to get it because I think he has some great ideas about what to do with the wish and could do the world a lot of good, especially as his ideals are probably what helped her fall in love with him despite what his done, so they must be good and powerful. Though I am very worried about what the power “madness” means. What is the silver hair dude doing? Also the music is getting epic so I can’t wait. 

Screen Shot 2018-04-25 at 23.23.05.pngI love this! Who is it? Is this Arthur and it turns out she is a women? Or is she someone completely different? I can’t wait to find out! This is so interesting! I seriously want to find out who got what Servants, though I was surprised that the guy with Kerei did the summoning, I thought he already had a servant? The assassin? Mmmm, I might be getting confused but I can’t wait to learn and watch more!

Last sentence take away: 

Iri’s eyes, they are so kind, soft and pretty.
