Honestly, considering no matter how much he lifts, he won't be able to scratch a Servant and that his Harem Protagonist EX is the only thing he has in his disposal... yeah kinda, actually,.

Why they waited to the very end of Babylonia to announce it, I'll never know. It was pretty damn obvious with what they've been showing that had nothing whatsoever to do with Babylonia throughout the show.

K so it was cool overall, 7/10.

Now let's hope they don't fuck up Solomon. Admittedly there isn't much to it so it'd be difficult to fuck it up, but you never know.

I think Ultimo Tope Patada surpasses that scene when factoring the dialogue and overall concept. Becoming the meteor that ended the fucking dinosaurs to fight a primordial god is pretty damn hardcore.

And finished. 10/10, I'm a sucker for jaw dropping action scenes. Babylonia has the best animated Ea of the bunch.

Also I need to know the name of the BGM that plays during the scene with MC talking to Tiamat.

At some point, I'll talk about Babylonia in detail when the dust settles a bit and I rewatch it in its entirety in bluray to give a more comprehensive opinion of it, but for now, I'll say this.

The show's highs are so high, even a blind person can see that (mostly hear it, at least until the Enuma Elish scene, then they'd be deaf too).
Don't get me wrong, its lows leave a lot to be desired, especially how they royally fucked over Tiamat's characterization and the pacing of episodes 19 and 20, but...

Despite how much they screwed with the finale, the show's overall highs are at the point I can't find it in me to care a lot about the lows.

As a show, it's an 8.5/10, but as a narrative adaptation from a VN to an anime, it's a 6/10.

All in all, I'll still give it 7.5/10 and round it to a low 8/10. It's truly once in a decade in this industry, if not more, to get a production such as Babylonia and it feels wrong just not to reward it for its sheer visual consistency, even if it's narratively not.

@-Mahesvara @ShinsoPriest I find the silence in the Salter vs Herc fight to be way more impactful than Quetz screaming and Tiamat screaming back TBH. Not to mention, it's just easier to direct a basic scene like Quetz's. There's no emotion to take away from that fight other than the pretty lights and the hype explosions, as opposed to the HF fight where the take away is the feeling of absolute despair and hopelessness.

It's the context that's precisely why the HF fight feels so much better IMHO.

@ShinsoPriest
>Babylonia has the best animated Ea of the bunch.

Oh man, I disagree. Like a lot. The way it looked is very wrong. Ea isn't just a plain destructive beam.

Tbh between it throwing galaxies and being a DEATH BEAM that can engulf something as huge as 3rd form Beast II, I would take the DEATH BEAM every day.

And the fgo game doesnt do something a lot different. Doesnt look like a wave, wall or a galaxy.

Sure the anime could have use more colors than just red but it is still a beam.

It's weird how none of the Ea's in any Fate media have replicated the "truth" in Hollow Ataraxia. CCC is a galaxy tornado, Prillya is a big pink windy thing, ufotable is just some swirls, and the others are beamus. None of them blast apart the world to show primordial hell.

Well maybe in FSF?Was there a mention of that in the fight with Enkidu?

Although I am sure we did see that when blackened adult Gil used it on the gang inside the mirror world. The manga had it for sure not so sure about the anime.

And that's fair. What edges it out for me is that it makes me want to shout at the hype, since everything from animation, sfx, to voice acting was on point. And y'know, the whole dinosaur ending meteor thing vs Tiamat. And it being more fresh in my mind might be a factor too.

Really? What anime did you think had the best Ea? I might be forgetting one of them. If it's outside anime then I'd pick CCC for best Ea.

Feels strangely...underwhelming to me. Doesn't feel as emotional as HFI's song nor does it go as hard as HFII's song.

Maybe it'll sound better as a leitmotif in Yuki Kajiura's orchestrated tracks.

Eh, I'm not too knowledgeable about music so maybe I'm missing something.

It just sounded like the average Aimer song to me compared to something like [I beg you], which sounded really different compared to her usual stuff.

Well, this is how Enuma Elish is described:
Borne of the winds drawn unto the revolution of the three cylinders of Ea, a spatial severence is formed by use of the Sword of Separation. Compressed and intertwined stratifications of wind become a virtual dislocation of space-time, annihilating any who would stand in opposition.

Judging by this description, pretty much every rendition we had of Enuma Elish's attack looking like a swirling tornado is correct. This includes all of the games and anime it was used in so far.

Currently, we only have one that looks nothing like that. Babylonia.

As for my personal best, it's the one in Zero. I looks awesome and it's as accurate a representation to the one on the VN as it can get. Prisma Illya 2wei basically copied it to a T, so that's up there as well.

CCC is so over the top and up there with EMIYA projecting Excalibur in the "yeah, ok guys" tier. I don't care for spectacle when it feels like pure nonsense.

I dunno, it feels ridiculously powerful while maintaining a uniqueness that just isn't there with the usual anime beam.

The swirling wind is there around Ea before he fires it and kinda there before it hits Tiamat. Once it does, it just becomes a normal beam: https://tenor.com/bhT1Y.gif

It is one is of those things that don't catch the eye like KH's skull flashes before he hits Tiamat.
