a show i had higher hopes for. each episode the budget got a little bit smaller and the pacing got a bit more stretched. they could have comfortably fit the exact same content in 8 episodes had they cut a lot of repeat filler. i dont think the underlying writing was very strong either. a lot of the drama is based on the main character trying to become something humans will talk to. ultimately all of that was a waste of time and didnt really go anywhere, and this is a rare complaint, but id also say that the voicework is also rather bad. while ...

Trigun: Stargaze is by no means a bad show, but when compared with its previous season, Stampede, it just doesn't hit the same high points.

The animation is still as impressive as it was in Stampede: being an almost entirely 3D-animated show, it really pushes its models to be as expressive, movements to be as fluid and environments to be as impactful as they all can be. The character designs work very well for the 3D medium and are neither overdesigned, nor too simplified. It's overall very pleasant to watch, although the cinematography is not as well though-out as it was in Stampede. Scenes sometimes linger ...

Review: Hell Mode
Rating: 9/10 Potential

The "Vibe" & Story
If you are looking for a "cup of tea" anime, this is it. While the Isekai genre is often filled with "slop," Hell Mode stands out by being surprisingly peaceful and high-effort. The story sits right in the sweet spot: it’s familiar enough to be cozy but unique enough to keep you from getting bored. It’s the perfect watch for when you just want to kick back and relax.

Characters & Skills
The skill systems in this show are genuinely well-done and engaging. Unlike many protagonists who are just handed everything, the progression here feels earned, which makes the "Hell ...

As a fan of k-pop/j-pop, cheerful intros with choreography and a well written character dynamic, I absolutely devoured this anime from start to finishing without a single skip.

Tamon's B-Side is an anime that knows how to work with the idol concept by creating fictional idols with unexpected double-faces, catchy songs and an entertaining, funny story-line. I find it creative and new, realistic in a certain way. It's simple yet so catchy and entertaining to watch, and I give it all to the female MC: Kinoshita is a character I could not not speak about in this review, because I think she's very well-written and ...

how much of the good features of jjk can you cut away before you make a show unwatchable? a lot apparently. this show draws from jjk heavily, from the relatively constrained set of abilities characters can have, to the intentionally shitty personalities of most cast members, and to the overall tone of the creatures they face. while not nailing the landing, the show starts fairly compelling with the leadup to souji joining the academy, if you watched just that part, you might be compelled to give the show an 8, but it doesn't hold that momentum for long.

the quick bites you need to know to ... understand the show, which is fairly dark despite the art style implying otherwise, is that there's an upheavel in spirit sorcerery, and new generations of spirits are using digital forms that require digital techniques to fight. our boy souji, a nuisance streamer who works to take care of his sister, gets caught up into the world of sorcery by accident, having drawn attention from the main villain of the show and is given a power others fear as inherintly evil and is taken in by the strongest to go to a school of other people who draw power from their shitty personalities.

some similarities should be made pretty aware by now. functionally this show is the first season of jjk, in 12 episodes. but lets not make more comparisons, lets go over what we get done in this season. after proving himself to the principal that he had the necessary grit to be a sorcerer, he and his classmates get assigned to the curses in a building, but the curses are stronger than expected, and they almost die. after that they conduct a practice battle between class A and B, which doesnt go exactly as planned.

okay i know what you are thinking. its not that bad. the show does have some of its own charm, but the main issue is its insufficiently deep copying of jjk. the power system so far is spirit energy goes into phone, phenomena manifests, with an advanced version shown later. every sorcerer has a phenomena directly related to their personality, meaning there are duplicates. souji produces fire, as does anyone else who is primarily known for being a rage baiter online. his male classmate weilds a ban hammer, and his female uses clingy gel. its all very charming in practice, but without the underlying generic power system of cursed energy reinforcement, binding vows, and barrier techniques, every character feels extremely weak. all signs indicate that this show is going to be a team sport fighting show, instead of the 'every sorcerer dies alone' sort of show. maybe they hit their stride later, but otherwise this is just a completely average battle shonen that fits so perfectly into its place as a third generation shounen that its almost laughable.

(dragonball of course) -> bleach -> jjk -> dead account

its a palatable enough watch but it feels like a fusion of black clover and jjk in a very bad way, so im expecting the quality to continue to slump with time. 5/10 + 1 for having a few compelling moments and a compelling episode. for 6/10

In the wake of the apothecary diaries success, I was looking for something to watch with the same vibes. Each episode plays out in the "monster of the week" style. Each is ultimately solved by team work, the emperor's resources and the consort's magical abilities. The stakes remain very low until the very last episode, less action and more emotional impact/moral.
The setting is rife with opportunities of political intrigue-themes of usurping, genocide, and a muddied royal bloodline. They don't really cash in on any of this drama. We don't really get to glimpse much of our characters. 12 or 13 episodes in and I ...

This anime isn't a romance. Only one relationship is really explored in any detail and it doesn't go anywhere, which is fine, but frustrating if you, like me, were excited for romance.

Each character is so unbearably straightforward, it really irks me.

In the intro you see a large and diverse set of characters, but many of them have no impact on the story at all.

I know it's only 12 episodes long, and was probably produced to drive interest in the web novel, but the viewer is never offered even a glimpse into so many characters. Not like I expect them to be super ...

The central concept of this anime is an existential nightmare disguised as a judicial system. Here, the death penalty is considered a relief. The true punishment, reserved for the worst criminals, is the Hero’s Sentence. Immortality, which in any other work would be the ultimate power, is here an instrument of torture. Pain repeats itself, trauma accumulates, and death loses its sense of liberation to become a mere reset of the agony.

You realize that the real battles aren't fought in the woods, but in each character's search for personal meaning, they're forced to carry out their duties without knowing for whom or for what they're ...

Meter your expectations for this anime. It's Twilight and Vampire Knight mashed up, but Dark Moon is inferior to both. Vampire media is oversaturated, and anime is no exception. Vampires will always hold a special place in my heart, but I wouldn't rewatch this slop if I was paid to do it.
Halfway through, there is little to no explanation of the supernatural lore. The story is mostly fluff and very little plot. Then, all of a sudden there's an actual story beyond the slice of life school dynamic, but it's so weak it's pitiful.

As an Engene, this was enjoyable. As an anime watcher, this was a bit terrible. For me, it perfectly rode the line of hate-watching, where it was enjoyable enough to keep me coming back for more, but ridiculous enough that it sort of made me mad with every episode.

The pacing was the most difficult point for me. The first 6 or so episodes are great, albeit a bit slow. The final episodes load so much plot and exposition I couldn't remember it all.

Animation and music: very good. Animation is solid and fluent and the battle scenes are done great. Music is great in creating the proper atmosphere. Shame that there are noticeable tracks, although I noticed a few similar ones they used from first season.

The enemy designs are so-so, I feel they're worse than the main characters', but that's the only downside. It also has many political subplots that aren't fully developed because it's only a 12-episode anime, so I feel like the best decisions aren't made, and in some parts, it's incongruous.

Preliminary (2/? eps)

Steel Ball Run is an outstanding part of JoJo
It's a powerful, emotionally charged arc: Araki's gorgeous art, a fast-paced plot of a race across America, and deep characters like Johnny and Jiro. The story skillfully combines the screwy tactics of battle with the steadfast themes of honor and destiny, and the switch to an alternate universe has refreshed the JoJo universe.
Accessibility for new readers despite its connection to JoJo, the arc is almost self-contained and can be enjoyed without a deep knowledge of the previous parts, but those who have already watched the previous parts will undoubtedly be surprised by the references to previous parts.

I checked out this anime and was really pleased. Things this atmospheric are rare these days. And all it is, really: a few stories from the life of a café in the distant future. Of course, you could say that Asimov’s ideas are present here, that philosophical questions are raised… But it’s clear that compared to the dozens of books where Asimov subtly analyzed all the obstacles and inconsistencies arising from the “Three Laws,” this is just a small touch. A small touch that fits perfectly into Asimov’s worlds, visually complementing them, doing what the American screenwriters with their “I, Robot” couldn’t. Judging how close ...

Disclaimer: I have watched all the anime-related media of this franchise and not the LN/Manga spin-offs of the series - though they are not entirely relevant for this review. I will recommend viewers to watch the original series or movie series (no need to watch the spin-offs) since it would provide better context on the comments and views regarding this series.

Story: As it has been presented the story is set some time after the events of the 4th movie - Reserrection. It seems to continue themes that the fourth movie had revolving around the aftermath of Zero Requiem. The main issue is that this has ... not been completely thought out that for this series. The setting for the whole story, i.e., the specificity of the effects from Zero Requiem are not as clear-cut/explained in the entire series. The fourth movie does a better job of explaining it by simplifying the problem and just stating their resentment of the Zero-Reqiuem. Ironically, somewhere down the line the series does bring up legitimate issues that arose from the Zero-Requiem that actually affects the Britannians instead, but considering that this was not used for the main setting for this series highlights that the developers wanted more of a "blast from the past" kind of anime. In other words, using themes that were successful in the original series and constructing a story that reuses those themes. This, unfortuantely, will inevitably draw multiple parallels to the original series where comparisons will be made between them. This then brings out the major weakness this series has to the original, number of episodes. The original series had around 50 episodes to work with that can be used to illustrate multiple aspects of a character (or multiple characters) slice-of-life lifetyle where they keep shifiting between their political roles and their non-political roles allowing the viewer to sympathise their situation and understand their thought process. In this series, it was clear that they could not just provide slice-of-life aspects for multiple characters so they only provided it to the main characters. Therefore, the whole story suffered from using themes from the past that provided unnecessary comparisons from itself to the original series and that it undermines relevant character growth (for the side characters) to fully use them where necessary. Lastly, the fact the anime tries to draw themes from the original series will unintentionally draws more attention to characters that were from those series.

This leads to another issue on this story, the amount of time that has passed since Zero-Requiem is too short. The setting placed 4/5 years have passed meaning many characters from the original series are still around. This draws more attention away from our current cast of characters because the viewer has little information to gain from them but more information of the previous series characters. As a result, it is inevitable to compare the new cast to the previous cast and not only see parallels but also see major flaws between them. This could have been negligible if there were more episodes for them to separate the differences between them but this is not the case. Hence, the anime trying to give the new cast characters some light and relevance to the story seriously undermines the necessity and relevance of the previous characters and their achievements considering they have already dealt these themes before. Leading back to my original point where if the time between the original series and the current series was more around multiple decades/generations then this could actually stand on its own two feet.

In summary, the series should have established its own themes unique to the timeline it was in rather than just trying to reuse themes from the original series. By doing so the anime would have been more memorable and relevant to watch rather than just always seeing parallels to similar events that have occured in the original series.

Characters: As it was written in the previous section the series did not have the luxury to flesh-out all the relevant characters in the story. The main characters were fleshed out but the relevance of their development does not impact the other characters unlike the original series where the main characters actions could drive others to respond. Here they do not have that same presence nor authority making the series even more underwhelming since majority of the other characters are present for the sake of driving the plot forward with little to no gray-area subjects to discuss. In addition, considering the setting that was used for this anime is similar to the original series the fact they did not use the previous characters as much as they should undermines the whole purpose of Zero-Requiem. Laslty, the comparison between the current cast and original cast of characters further highlights the flaws and lack of details the current cast of characters have further highlighting the impact the number of episodes wasn't enough to properly develop the series. Overall, because of the setting the series used is similar to the original led to many underdeveloped characters where their actions do not really hold too much weight in the overall plot of the story.

Art and Sound: The only good thing is the quality is definitely different compared to the original series and the movies. The animation during the combative scenes are high quality and it is easy to tell subtle differences in power between the characters that are fighting. The opening music is very nice and fits the theme of this series quite well.

Overall: The series could have been better but the length of episodes (and I am aware it was produced as multiple movies) could not cover the complexities it has presented. This inevitably gets overshadowed by the original series where it was more properly paced and provided necessary backstory and details for key characters that would/could play a role in the story. The biggest flaw on this series is that it draws too many parallels to the original series which just makes this series an inferior product to the original. It did not help when it was possible to compare many characters to the original series which made it less possible to ignore. There is little to no unique traits in this series and as the it goes on the story devolves from what could have been a complex story with multiple POV's from multiple characters to who will be victorious in the end.

Or even the overall conversational atmosphere. How the characters talk to each other, what they say, and why they say it that way. It’s just satisfying when characters react in ways that aren’t entirely predictable. You don’t sink into boredom or feel like skipping ahead.

Also, I liked how the creators, with one hand, cast shadows of some vague, unsettling weirdness going on, and with the other immediately dispelled any fake seriousness. Even that awful and seemingly ...

I’ll say right now, this is NOT for newcomers to Fate. I don’t care what any YouTuber or “influencer” on Twitter tries to say, you will not appreciate this series to the fullest extent if you’ve not ... at a minimum read both the original Stay Night and Hollow Ataraxia visual novels as well as seen or read Fate/Zero and to be honest, you’ll want to have seen at least a little of Kara no Kyoukai and player Tsukihime. Yea, it’s a lot, but there’s no rush on getting all of that done. Take your time, enjoy the journey and then come watch Strange Fake and experience one of the most well produced anime of all time.

Type-Moon is my favorite franchise of all time, so to get a series like Strange Fake that blends together so many different elements of the franchise from various series and has countless references to almost every corner of the TM universe just feels like a dream come true. Again, I can’t stress enough how important it is to come into this with prior knowledge of all the main series in TM because every single inch of this story is covered in references that will you have you pointing at the screen and jumping up and down like an idiot. If you’re at all familiar with Narita Ryōgo’s works, you know he’s a master of world building and character development with huge casts. Sometimes too much, actually. Fortunately, I feel like he nailed the balance in this one. It’s a massive cast with a wide range of personalities and motives, but they all feel memorable and distinct so you don’t forget characters like you can in some of his other works, *cough* dead mouth death play *cough* It also helps that the characters in Fate are usually historical figures so there’s some significant feat or trait to hold onto and that allows you to ingrain them into your memory. Not to mention the amazing and distinct character designs. It’s the largest holy grail war ever, but it’s not overwhelming. Combine that huge distinct cast with some of the best animation you’ve ever seen, and you got something special on your hands.

The production values are incredible here and I’ll get to that later, but outside of the general love letter to Type-Moon vibe Strange Fake has going on, what’s really amazing about this series is the sheer variety of characters and their complex motivations and relationships. Masters, servants, officiators, there’s someone in this series for everyone. I also think it’s really cool to have a Holy Grail War where you could genuinely root for multiple people to win it. Like in OG Fate everyone was obviously backing Emiya to come out on top. In Strange Fake, there’s not a set MC per se, so you could root for Ayaka and Saber, Flatt and his servant, if you like chaos you could go for Francesca or any of the other numerous contenders. It kind of reminds me of To be Hero X in that regard where every week a new character’s introduced, you get their backstory and then you fall in love. I think that makes things a lot more fun and interesting because it’s a more unpredictable story with a ton of likeable characters. So many people in this series have valid reasons for obtaining the Holy Grail and you don’t want to see any of them die, well, MOST of them anyway. I haven’t read the books yet, and at the pace they’re going here, I probably won’t need to(at least not right away) since we should get a full adaptation rather quickly, but I’m really interested in seeing how Narita ties everything together and resolves this in the end. It really doesn’t feel like a depressing sort of story where a lot of people would die, so I’m hoping for a rather optimistic ending here. I also HAVE to believe my Ayaka x Saber ship will sail because I love them so much. Romance isn’t anywhere near the main focus here, but it’s a very clear subtext to their dynamic that makes me want to root for them. They also have a lot of mutual trauma that they help each other through. I actually have this ship as right under Artoria and Emiya now. It’s just that good. I’m also a huge fan of Francesca, she’s basically had me in a chokehold for the last few months.

The ONE thing that gives me a little cause for concern with Strange Fake is that apparently they’ve adapted 6 books here in the first season which seems crazy to me. I mean on average, seasonal LN adaptations will do 3-4 books tops in a one cour series. If I’m not mistaken, there’s only 4 more books to go including the forthcoming final book in the series, so two seasons of the anime should just about wrap things up. On the surface, it seems like a lot of stuff would be cut, but from what I’ve heard from LN readers, there’s not much missing here so if that’s the case, hats off to the staff. As an anime only, I feel like everything’s been paced pretty well. Only thing I’d like to see is a little more screentime for a few characters, but that’s the nature of such a large ensemble cast.

I’m on record saying this numerous times and I don’t care, I’ll say it again. When given proper time and budget, A-1 pictures are the best animation studio outside of Kyoani. I fully believe they’re better than ufotable, I much prefer their more realistic highly expressive character animation to ufotable’s bright stylized stuff. That’s going to come down to personal preference, but to me, the way this show and sentenced to be a hero look is my ideal anime art style. The action sequences in Strange Fake are awe inspiring. There’s not a single fight in this show that won’t take your breath away and it’s made even better by the magisterial Sawano OST. My GOAT delivered some of his best ever work here and it elevated every single tense, emotional or high octane scene. Provant was on repeat for a solid month straight to the point I wore the song out. I can’t wait to do the same to every song in the OST once the full version drops.

Fate Strange Fake is the best the Fate series has ever been in my honest opinion and I couldn’t be happier with the job A-1 have done in bringing this to life. The story, direction, pacing, soundtrack and voice acting have all been top notch, I’ve had a blast watching the story gradually expand week after week and I cannot wait to see where it goes in the future.

Fate Strange Fake gets 10 out of 10.

Within the world of magical girl anime, Kamichama Karin presents a story that blends lighthearted fantasy with elements of mystery and emotional growth. On the surface, the series appears to follow a familiar magical girl formula centered on school life, friendship, and mysterious rings that grant divine powers. However, as the story progresses, the narrative begins stacking twist after twist, revealing hidden identities, tangled family connections, and increasingly dramatic revelations. In hindsight, the sheer number of plot twists can feel almost absurd. Strangely, that very absurdity becomes part of the show' charm, turning moments that might otherwise feel excessive into something unintentionally amusing. The story ... escalates so dramatically that it becomes hardly to even complain about it. The twists arrive with such enthusiasm that the experience ends up feeling more entertaining than frustrating. At the center of the story, Karin Hanazono, an ordinary girl whose life changes after discovering a mysterious ring that grants her the power of a goddess. What begins as a seemingly whimsical premise soon expands into a larger narrative involving ancient powers, and intertwined destinies among several characters. As new revelations unfold, the series shifts between playful school-life moments and more serious questions about identity. A large part of the show’s appeal comes from its cast. Karin’s energetic and clumsy personality provides much of the humor, whilst characters such as Kazune Kujyou and Himeka Kujyou introduce a more serious dynamic that adds emotional weight to the story. The interactions between these characters help balance the lighter comedic moments with its developing mysteries.

In terms of technical production, the anime adaptation of Kamichama Karin embraces a colorful and soft aesthetic typical of many shoujo-inspired magical girl series. Bright pastel tones, decorative transformation sequences, and expressive character designs give the world a cheerful atmosphere that contrasts with some of the heavier elements introduced later in the story. Although the animation itself remains relatively simple compared to modern productions, the visual style effectively captures the playful charm of the series. At the same time, the narrative occasionally becomes complicated as the story introduces multiple layers of mythology and character relationships. Certain plot developments can feel rushed or difficult to follow, particularly toward the latter part of the series where several revelations appear in quick succession. This complexity may challenge anyone expecting a more straightforward magical girl story. Even with these issues, Kamichama Karin remains a memorable example of mid-2000s magical girl anime. Its combination of bright fantasy elements, character-driven storytelling, and progressively unfolding mysteries gives the series a distinctive charm that continues to appeal people who enjoy magical adventures mixed with emotional drama.

Anyway, keep in mind that no opinion is ever purely objective, and every perspective remains open to discussion. Even so, each viewpoint still holds its own value. If you happen to see things differently, simple mutual respect is more than enough. That same respect is the spirit behind this reflection as well. Wishing everyone a peaceful day ahead, and thank you for taking the time to read.

If there’s one thing the Fate series has established by now, it’s that nothing will ever play out as promised. There can never be just a straightforward, by-the-book Holy Grail War. Fate/strange Fake, then, doesn’t set out to subvert an expected formula, because Fate has never truly operated by such a formula in the first place. Subversion is already the franchise’s modus operandi, and so Strange Fake is simply the latest entry to herald the phantasmal parade of controlled chaos. Like its predecessors, it is an installment that bends, breaks, and totally disfigures the on-paper rules of the Holy Grail War. In Fate/stay night, the ... Grail is corrupted from the very beginning. In Fate/Apocrypha, the system is rendered malleable and basically turned into a team sporting event. Even Fate/Zero, which most closely follows the rules, ultimately ends up proving the rules themselves to be fundamentally, irreparably twisted.

Strange Fake revels in enacting one of the most wonderfully bastardized renditions of the Holy Grail War ritual in franchise history. It flaunts Servants so blisteringly overpowered that conventional power scaling is immediately thrown right out the window. It is outright shameless in its haste to name anyone or anything a Heroic Spirit—whether good or evil, human or inhuman. And best of all, it gleefully indulges in shaping what should be simple duels into straight-up cataclysms that threaten the very foundation of the stage itself. All this is frankly series tradition, and it’s more or less what Fate fans have always shown up for. But is yet another explosive death match really all that Strange Fake amounts to? Yorokobe, shounen: perish the thought. Strange Fake—while it is indeed absorbed in flourishing its many battle set pieces—is also a confluence of narrative threads and clever symbolism, an all-you-can-eat buffet of lurid subplots and cryptic subtexts.

What does Strange Fake specifically do to distinguish itself from the series proper, then? It’s all in the crazy-ass execution, and the show doesn’t wait a moment to declare it. Written by Ryohgo Narita of Baccano! and Durarara!! fame, one might expect to find a take on the Fate series steeped in his signature chaotic style. However, Fate is itself famous for wanton chaos, so it already exists as an ideal canvas for Narita’s authorial sensibilities. The undefined nature of Fate’s magic system has allowed Narita to take fascinating liberties with the rulebook, compounding wonderfully with his ensemble cast of Mages and Servants. He has reached into distant parts of the Nasuverse to procure special ingredients—Dead Apostles, long-lost protagonists, and more—and tossed them into the narrative stew, resulting in an amazingly functional Frankenstein of Type-Moon favorites. Unbelievably, the visual command from A-1 Pictures keeps up with Narita’s many moving parts, matching the unstable energy like a hot dog sliding into a bun. The story is not a puppet dancing before its master, but a puppet and its master as equal partners, thriving on entropy in striking symbiosis. Strange Fake is vividly frenetic when foreign Mystics collide and stimulating even when lingering on lengthy dialogue, leaving no doubt that Fate and Narita are a match made in heaven.

Visually, Strange Fake takes up the torch from the non-ufotable branch of Fate anime, making typical use of the smear animation and experimental techniques those titles are known for. This is the main style of both Apocrypha and Babylonia, and it’s certainly a great choice here, too. After all, how should animators capture Noble Phantasms that could be world-ending threats if misappropriated? There are times where putting these concepts to screen is essentially the animation equivalent of staring directly into the sun. The smearing and mindful compositing make these epic attacks into highly distorted, colorful depictions befitting their apocalyptic natures. Constantly on display is a maelstrom of light and might brimming with incalculable energy, elevated by direction that knows how to show it all off. Sky-high vistas are used to view massive attacks and climactic confrontations between Servants. Close-up shots can get so involved when it comes time to throw hands that they seem to have agency of their own, almost actively participating in all the ducking and weaving. It’s intentional visual storytelling that balances all the drawn-out conversations with the firework shows obligatory to every fight scene. The sound design also does some heavy lifting; rumble effects to give weight to the big booms and music that swells in harmony with Noble Phantasm incantations. It all works as one to propel the action to orbital heights, uncompromising in its mission to broker spectacle upon spectacle.

The characters are where the rules of these True and Fake Holy Grail Wars really go haywire. Of course, listing off Masters and the True Names of Servants is tantamount to spoiler territory. But as it turns out, that’s where much of Strange Fake’s fun lies. Many contenders come with fairly unique caveats—Masters who aren’t even human, Servants summoned with twists to their Spirit Origins, and other peculiarities that drag the story ever deeper into Narita’s lawless pit of darkness. Certain identities demand careful parsing, and the complex network of personalities becomes labyrinthine. Every character here has secrets, and much of the anime’s time is spent investigating them for everything they’re worth. The point-of-view focus routinely shifts from one eccentric character to the next, back to back to back, creating a thrilling perspective whiplash. In short, the characters all worship chaos in their own ways, and their combined rampage plays right into the narrative clusterfuck. The point, after all, is a flamboyant, wackadoodle shitshow of a Holy Grail War, and that can’t happen without at least a few oddballs running amok. So, is Strange Fake satirizing Fate’s tendency to play Grail War Simulator over and over? Is it idolizing that repetition, kissing the shadows of Wars long past? The portrait so passionately painted by this story is, unmistakably, one of admiration and celebration.

In retrospect, Fate/strange Fake is a brazen and confident showcase of the franchise’s wild side. Narita has employed his best tendencies here to openly and unapologetically indulge in Fate’s star attraction—spectacle. The plot might seem scatterbrained at first, but upon stepping back and taking in the bigger picture, it becomes clear how structured it actually is. That careful coalescence of themes and subplots is pretty much the customary payoff from Narita’s playbook, and here it’s bolstered by the esoteric systems of Fate’s world to craft a love letter to the series at large. Despite playing up the action to heights rarely seen, Strange Fake manages to spare some room for waxing philosophical. The poet John Donne wrote: “Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so.” It’s a sentiment that’s perfectly in tune with Fate, a series where all manner of entities—even Death itself—are ultimately powerless before greater forces. Against fate, against chance, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Heroic Spirit, a god, or merely human—all are made equal. But the best part of Strange Fake? It proclaims from on high that all the bombast, the spectacle, and the wealth of Noble Phantasms are not deviations from the Fate formula, but characteristic of what the formula has gradually become. Strange Fake is just happy to be the title that’s finally so honest about it.
