Fate/Apocrypha

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.

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.

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.

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.

Where's emiya when you need the story line is just to corrupt, my way of ending it was with a Grinch on my face any hoo another adaptation to the fate storyline.
