More buildup as part of this episode but hey, we got some Mash screentime with Fujimaru. Looks like they really got all the key players for the battle. Gilgamesh also has the charisma to push his plan forward.

The battle itself looked epic as I had expected with the Goddess leading the troops. Mash and Fujimaru faced off against some of the enemies in the air while everyone played their roles. Ye, I think this is the type of episode worth waiting for if you've been anticipating it after all the buildup.

Holy shit was that stacked... Literally a perfect episode including that amazing ending. Idk how they'll top this production wise but I'm thoroughly satisfied with this adaptation. Angry AUO noises knowing FGO is taking ANOTHER break this week...

Simply put this episode was Fucking amazing, Jesus christ the level of sakuga was God tier. Sasuga Onsen-sensai. It had everything that makes Fate great. The slice of life bonding moments, the comedy, the emotional moments and of course the last third which was a visual orgasm. I wish this wasn't so slept on(In the west outside of Reddit).

3 more eps to go, can't wait to see how they handle these

I saw it raw, absolutely epic episode , Tiamat looks great, very few CGI and the few scenes of CGI are way more disquised than before
Great Dialogues , great fights, great episode

This episode in one word was INSANE. Gil's speech was magnificent and touching. The battle scenes were really amazing and Quetzalcoatl's NP animation was great.

Fantastic episode.

Gil's speech was absolutely incredible, I got hyped as hell listening to him talk about as long as one person, or one fraction of Uruk survives, their legacy and their wills live on forever. The part where he mentions that it's time to end the age of the primordial Gods and give rise to the age of men was awesome and also reminded me of the story of Dark Souls 1. Gil is just way too awesome in Babylonia. His conversation with Kingu was very nice as well and I like that he is willing to help him out even though he is a faker. Ironic because in FSN he accuses Archer as a Faker. XD

Fight sequences were amazing as expected, the amount of Sakuga and production quality in this is just off the charts. At least they putting that FGO money to good use.

It makes me sad to see corrupted Ushiwaka. :(

Quetazalcoatl's NP was pure awesome and the final clash was epic as hell.

The ED insert at the end was very nice and Gorgon showing up was a little unexpected. I thought Ana got her, curious to see how she'll fair against Tiamat.
Can't wait for the next episode and big finale.

Gorgon ; _ ;

I thought the ep will end without her arrival so while Prover did hit me emotionally I just lost it when she actually arrived to end this episode.

Glad they cut out the fake harem stuff from Quetzalcoatl.

And Tiamat was so great in this ep. What happened in the previous one?

HOLY SHIT!

This episode sure give damn chills! Can be said the best episode so far (surpassing ep 8) imo

Gil's speech remind me of NGNL speech a bit. You teased us again, Siduri Servant when?

Quetz and Benkei sure did add to great addition of last moments

And Tiamat sure looks way better in this episode (both 2D & CG)

Fuck!!!!!! what an incredible episode. I can't find the right words to describe how amazing it was.

Quetzalcoatl's NP was just awesome. Good thing Fujimaru was able to back her up with his final command spell. The whole animation was top-tier.

Oh, and let's not forget about Gilgamesh's speech to his people. That was incredible.

CloverWorks did an amazing job with this episode and I'm looking forward to seeing the last three episodes. I personally don't mind the week break.

Their approach to her seems to be fairly consistent. More than anything, her model benefited immensely with the darker aesthetic in contrast to last episode. I can officially say she looks better than Gorgon, so it's probably okay to be optimistic despite the lackluster reception last week.

Holy shit this episode was insane. That last chunk of the episode was animated so damn well, and this show has impressed me throughout its run with its relatively consistent animation quality. To say this was impressive would be a massive understatement, that was a feast for the eyes.

And let's not forget Gil's speech before the battle. That got me hyped and made me feel like I was about to go out there and fight. No matter what issues people may have with this anime, one thing is certain, Gilgamesh has practically backpacked this show. If you say otherwise, you're wrong.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

This was an insane episode Gil speech was amazing plus Quetzalcoatl NP looked so good. And how did Gorgon manage to pop out at the end, that was unexpected.
Now we have to wait two weeks till the next episode.

Nah, in canon they are friends, gilgamesh and enkidu have closer to romance than gil and siduri tbh, but fanon exists ig so have fun.

Quetzalcoatl was amazing in this episode. I love the work Aya Endo is doing with this character, she's really nailing it. And she's even pronouncing all them difficult names in Nahuatl right.

You know you can miss a dear friend right ? You know that right ? You know that concept of friendship still exists right ?

But fujoshi will not stand anyone else other than Enkidu with Gil so be careful what you say. Fgo fandom is full of them.

This was by far the best episode of babylon so far, the sound design, the animation, the noble phantasm, the ending, it all came together so well. Quetzalcoatl and fujimaru's combo was amazing and heart wrenching, it was truly an amazing episode and I hope it keeps on getting better, I especially liked gilgamesh and kingu's interaction and the ending with Gorgon's entry with the ed was just amazing. I highly recommend this anime, can't recommend it enough, it is just amazing.

But Enkidu has no gender, we just use male pronouns because he actually slept with a woman.And then he created his image based on her.He is more female than male.

Wow that sounded weird even before I posted it.

When he was a chill kid.

Siduri never got married so it doesnt matter, since that was Gil's thing.

She is also a completely different character in the Epic so again it doesnt matter.

They did a special on New Year's that featured Ayako Kawasumi (Artoria's voice actor) traveling and touring around London to visit a lot of places associated with Arthurian legends, with Merlin narrating the entire special.

They're going to rebroadcast this special in the time slot of Babylonia next week, with episdoe 19 airing the week after.

and I thought this was going to be a small episode that would end with Gilgamesh's speech but they added so much more. I cant tell which np I like more between Ishtars and Quetz. Damn was really hoping we'd get the entire Gorgon scene during the ED song but there wasn't enough time. I felt so teased. One more week of anticipation.
