| Fate Extra and Fate Extra CCC are both excellent games.The original extra game had an interesting though a bit tragic story,The protagonist was pretty likable too.Last Encore doesn't follow the original story.The first two episode were good enough but they screwed up on third one,I think. |
| It is just your opinion The opening song is one of the best in this season, Saber looks cute and the most sexy Saber to date (in anime, I don't read VN). The story and fights look interesting. And more importantly I'm enjoying it. |
Centurionzo_12 said: The source material is pretty good but this is less of an adaptation and more of a side story. Last Encore is as much of a side story to EXTRA as UBW is to HF. The term for it is "alternate timeline", not "side story". Drake1000 said: I don't see any anime scenario writing credentials online for this Sakurai guy. He's only credited with VNs and FGO, he also assisted in writing Fate Extella with Nasu, Seems to me like 2 clueless VN writers winging it. Maybe you should've spent more time searching? Sakurai was the script writer for Gakkougurashi. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It's underwhelming because the story is a jumbled clusterfuck. It'd wouldn't be this way if they actually bothered to explain anything. |

Exactly, a few Ranpo Kittan episodes, which were terrible apparently, and that godawful Gakkou Gurashi disservice to the manga, skipping a bunch of character development and arcs for some filler doggo. Don't see much besides these 2 entries, maybe I'm unaware of his other masterpieces? Didn't reallt talk about her quality as a writer, just that you didn't search for her well enough. And no, Sakurai isn't the best writer in the world. Good thing that Last Encore was written by Nasu, eh? Kittens-kun said: It's underwhelming because the story is a jumbled clusterfuck.

I think there's a difference between being hard to understand on purpose in order to create mystery, and just having shit writing. |

Kittens-kun said: I think there's a difference between being hard to understand on purpose in order to create mystery, and just having shit writing. Elaborate, please. How is LE's method of laying out and building up mysteries bad? |
| When the fate fans only care about "omg look how sexy saber is" or "saber is cuteee in that outfit" You can draw you conclusion what kind of series this is |
Eruel said: It's funny that you say that and I suppose it just points to the disconnect with people who haven't played the game because Saber is the only person in this show with any actual character development so for me she's the strongest link and the only reason to keep watching. Take Rani for instance, I'm sure she was an important character in the game by the way people talk about her but in this show she's just some random side character who I was never given any reason to care about.Saber is definitely the weakest link |

| These are my two cents. Honestly I blame Nasu for advertising Last Encore as newcomers-friendly as well as for veterans, when in reality this show is definitely for people that played the original Extra games. As pointed by Eruel, if you don't know the source, the setting, characters and the story of the game you'll be lost most of the time and won't give a sh*t about anyone besides probably Saber because she has the most in-your-face charismatic personality for anyone not familiarized with the rest of the cast, hence why most reviewers complaining thinking this is all about her and only her, when in reality it's about the entire world of Extra who's clearly strange and different from what veterans are used to. Another point is most of newcomers(probably) came expecting a better Fate/Apocrypha, or second Fate/ZERO, meaning better developed/written characters and better animated action scenes. Well, Extra contrary to what Extella made people think, is NOT action centered, and it's NOT your average Holy Grail War which is a death match kill'em all battle royale, the HGW on SERAPH was always a 1x1 kinda deal in a monster of the week way, difference is the characters were given a background and proper development(-----SPOILERS----like at the very beginning of episode 5, that is actually what happens on the game, showing that Dan was a honorable knight and wanted a fair fight against Hakuno, curing him after Archer poisoned him outside battle grounds, which he found disgusting and unfair). Extra, although having battles(yes, it is at it's core a heavily grindy RPG), was always more about it's story, mysterious world, new servants and masters and their identities, and amnesiac Protagonist. Last Encore is even more mystery centered because it's actually intriguing with it's differences from the game from the very beginning. Extra DOES have interesting/ well written characters though, thing is, unless you play the game chances are you'll never know of it by only following the anime. Bottom of line, fans of the Extra game will mostly be OK with Last Encore or gladly enjoy it, some might not be that satisfied with animation or choice of main servant too(or even the Male/female MC nonsense), newcomers will probably only enjoy IF: They either have curiosity about Red Saber; Are intrigued by the mystery behind the story after being told of details from fans(or figuring out on their own); Or they really like Shaft and have no(major) problem with it's way of animation and exposition on-screen. |
| I was super hyped going into this series. Shaft has been my favorite studio for a while, I quite like the fate franchise, and Nero is my favorite servant. So why aren't I enjoying this show nearly as much as I had hoped? I get that it isn't meant to be a battle royale like other series, but I don't think that the action elements are the only thing lacking in this show. The battles are few and far between but thats ok I guess. The problem is that almost nothing else that is happening in the show is interesting me. Arrive on floor, find master, figure out how to beat master, beat the master. I hope the plot can become more interesting than this. The whole "world is messed up" deal isn't cutting it for me. It's a bit difficult for me to explain why I don't really like what I'm seeing, but simply put it's just been unengaging. Being disappointed in this show is hugely saddening to me. I really like the soundtrack I really really like seeing Nero in animation I like the character designs I don't even particularly care that the MC is totally a blank slate I won't be dropping this show, and I'm really hoping it's 2 cour so we can see some interesting developments. But anyway as of now for me it's sitting at like 6.5/10 Seriously hoping to see some improvements. |
