Fate/Extra Last Encore

This series is so bad compared to Stay Night and Zero. The animation is rubbish with characters monologuing for 30 seconds with nothing animated but their mouth. The 2 main characters are a mopey guy mumbling about his anger and an obnoxious girl yelling stupid monologues about how great she is and how she loves and trust the guy she met 5 minutes ago. Her english voice is awful and she won't stop talking. Character design is bland and I couldn't get over saver's buttcrack always showing.

I could go on about everything I didn't like but just trust me and don't waste your time.

I think the story has run its course. This last version does have a weaker plot and you really need to have seen many of the others to make sense of it. But if you have seen them it is interesting if you can get through the constant breaks from the main plot.

One pet peeve of mine is the created equal diatribe in season 1 episode 8 and in another anime Aquarion Logos. They mistakenly or purposefully misrepresent "created equal" from the United States Constitution. It has *nothing* to do with ability at all. It is that no other person has the right to rule over another without their consent. We were created equal in our human rights. You can give consent to be governed, but at the same time you can revoke that consent it if it breaks the inalienable rights of the individual.

I didn't find out until around episode 8, but most of the episodes of short clips after the credits that are often very crucial to the story line. I do agree that this stretches really far from the original story line but I still found it very enjoyable.

There was a lot of intrigue to some of the other Fate series. Granted, they all struggle a little bit with character motivation and story conclusion. This one however, not only feels wildly disconnected from the series, it struggles to even put together a basic explanation or story. Imagine staying up for 46 hours straight and then trying to take a test in Latin. That's what following this mess of a story. Save yourself the trouble and just avoid it.

What people say about this anime doesn't make sense. They're just trolling this beautiful anime because it's something they aren't trying to understand. This is such a good show with so many emotional beats. It is probably the most confusing Fate installment, having a premise that is so drastically different from its predecessors. However, when you get past that, its actually very enjoyable. Also, as a philosophy nerd, this anime is similar to Fate Zero on the philosophical execution. Fans of studio Shaft's other works like Madoka and Monogatari will really enjoy this one, it's a new take on Fate and it really hits all the right feels!
