Fate/Apocrypha

Fate/Apocrypha talks about a war between two factions of 7 mages and their servants for win the Holy grail, who can realize a wish. I really like the anime because the Fate's univers is very interesting, with so many historic and good characters. I think that the character of Jeanne d'Arc is the most important character of this anime, her chara design is very nice, her voice is very sweet too. Maya Sakamoto did a good job ! The worst character is surely Sieg: he is so simpleton ! He is the typical hero who wants to save everybody of this war ! By the way, Achilles is my favorite character, he is so charismatic. The Frankenstein's monster is very cute, I love her chara design, she looks like a bride. The animation is so beautiful, A-1 has done such a really good job, the battle between Karna and Siegfried was so epic ! The special effects were so wonderful ! The soundtrack is good too, but it is not the most important thing I think. The 2 openings are nice. So if you like fantasy anime, with historic characters and a wonderful animation, Fate/Apocrypha is the anime to see.

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.

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).

A powerful ending. And Shakespeare claim max as a hero spirt brilliant! But the true, true ending is sooooooooo betiuful, that is paradise....

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.
