Fate/Apocrypha

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).

This show is pretty terrible. The story is confusing AND boring. The characters are bland. The animation is basic and uninspired. Then episode 21 came along and everything changed. Not really. Honestly, the episode is still pretty bad, but short bursts of awesome animation and bad ass fight scenes won me over. It's like they brought in completely different people to do 15 second bits interspersed through the regular bad stuff. In fact, I'm positive that's what they did. Episode 22 too. Watch episode 20 for context.

In an alternate universe the theft of the Holy Grail 50 years previously ushers in a new conflict between the Mages Association and the rebellious Ygdillemna Family. With the activation of the Greater Grail, 15 Servants are summoned for an unprecedented battle royale in a new Holy Grail War.

I am honestly quite surprised to see some of these review not appreciating series. In my opinion this series is kinda of a breath of fresh air from the current fate shows. And yes the dub is pretty good well most Fate dubs are anyways.

Not to mention I kinda thought Sieg, Astolfo, Ruler and Murdered were all well written characters.

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.

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