Fate/Apocrypha

I really want to like it but I hate the main character he's so boring he's not like shirou buts that's ok the side characters are great but that's about the only positive the story is ok but stay night and zero are just better storyline wise not awful...they are some good aspects of the show like astfolo and Jeanne and saber of red they all seem to outshine the masters which is fine. But I wish it was more balanced out like it is with stay night with the masters. It's not awful but could be better I have seen worse anime's so I'm not mad i did like the backstories of the servants and seig is bearable at times.

This is the third Fate series show I've watched. Fate: Zero and Fate: Infinity Blade Works were both very good shows that had interesting characters and solid english dub voice acting. They also got better as the show progressed and the story built upon itself. Fate: Apocrypha unfortunately falls short in this way. The characters initially seem very interesting in the first half of the show. The fights are beautifully animated and there's a sense of mystery that kept me watching. However, in the second half of the show things seem to fall apart. After a big reveal at the end of the first season the mystery is gone and the characters seem flat and boring. There's hardly any character development and the voice acting falls of a cliff for whatever reason. The action kept me watching but I couldn't find myself less interested in the story or characters (other than the Saber and her master who get far too little screen time in the second half).

I am new to the fate series; it took me 2-3 episodes just to get a hang of what was happening. Simply it's a war between two factions, red and black, each having 7 mages who summon a hero each from legends/history to a battle royal, the winning pair gets granted there wish. The concept sounded interesting but what it meant was keeping track of 28 people!!! Luckily the anime does not throw them all at ones on you. Still, the ones introduced are hard to keep track off and everyone's role felt rushed considering there are only 12 episodes. Would have enjoyed the plot if they had concentrated on the heroic figures past and the reason they agreed to be summoned as in what was that wish they wanted to be granted for which they would agree to be reborn as a weapon of war. Instead, we are left with only battle scenes and lots of fan service, the way they go about destroying a legends characterization is horrendous. There is a hint of a backstory, the reason why this is happening which we get to know only at the end of the season and it's not worth sitting through the 12 episodes for. The animation itself is decent, not bad, not good, just decent.

This is the fifth fate series I watched. After watching grand order last order and extra last encore which were really bad, this one feels like a masterpiece.

The world and rules differ from zero and stay night and the story takes a whole episode just to introduce the characters then the action begins. I thought the storyline would be bland, but to my surprise, it kept me on my toes until the end. Some of the characters are really lovable and the English dub is great (light years away from the horrible dub in extra last encore). I loved it all the way to the end and the ending was more satisfying than any other fate series.

I was very interested in the characters at first and the idea of the holy grail war wasn't really bad , The animation The voice acting and characters all good except for that silly ruler and her lovely homunculus they were really built just with emotions and out of logic like sieg didn't even know how to eat at first but in only few days he learnt how to fight how to use magic how to be a master and became able to fight servants with the power of black saver who was barely strong enough to stay alive for 2 episodes so it just don't make sense to get a strong power from these weak guys power of hope? Of friendship ? Of freedom ? Is that how you win ? By having more emotions than your enemy has? Even though they had a perfect plan and they were strong enough to win this is none sense this anime is a disgrace for Fate series Ruler , Astolfo , Sieg really ruin the entertainment of that great war.
