| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It's about time Karna made his point clear in this war. Atalanta completely went berserk in order to try and kill Ruler. Holy shit. Karna is also pretty impressive in terms of using his abilities. What a badass. Karna proving to the world how powerful he is and telling his story. I almost felt bad for Atalanta this episode. GG |

| I am NOT a fan of the animation they pulled this ep, felt like I was watching something COMPLETELY different, gave me the same vibes when I was watching the infamous Naruto V Pain. Well.. a lot of them died this episode, couldnt really enjoy it nor focus so much because of the weird animation turn. |
  |
| Wow they were really on a low budget in this episode it was difficult to watch all that different art style and poor cgi |
| Holy shit this might have been the best looking and the animated fight scene in the Fate franchise. The webgens this episode went the extra mile to make everything fluid and dynamic. I dont even care about the story at this point. Each week I get a treat but this week was on another level. They can end this show here and I will be satisfied. God damn look at this monster list of animators.  |
| Well if anything this episode will show how little some people understand about animation. I already see the complaints about character going off model ( which is essential for fluent animation with great cinematography to work ) in stead of staying perfectly on model with merely mouth flaps and very limited movement. They pulled all stops this episode and it was a blast, a visual treat. |

Animation in this episode may look 'bad' or 'weirdly deformed' to most, but trust me its definately NOT low budget. Lets call it a unique animation style instead by A-1 pictures. |

God damn look at this monster list of animators. I haven't seen it yet but seeing Baji JD's name there, among others, has me hyped. |
| It was a surprise, i didn´t wait this evolve!!!! |
| Wow that was simply amazing. Obviously reading some of the comments this style wasn't for everyone. Personally I'm over the moon to see an episode with such a talented line up go all out. I had a Food Wars like eye-gasm watching this. |
| Oh damn the animation and art style change was weird.... In a positive way. I don't understand why some call it terrible. Okay, it is different from what we had seen before but if we look at it in an objective way, it is one great animation. Btw, this Karna vs Sieg fight should be crowned best fight of the year. I have seen many of these but only a few could surpass this one. |
| I'm sure the recent collaboration between A-1 and Trigger has something to do with this. These recent episodes started to feel more like a Trigger anime... God Damnit! If only Trigger started to do this series instead of A-1... |
 |
| They never really bothered showing why Sieg was able to spam Balmung with that frequency because it is not possible normally. Oh well.Karna stood out in every frame he appeared and he went out with a bang.See you in Extra anime (hopefully). |

That was the highest quality animation F/A has had yet Arguably one of the best Fate fights till date.Just look at the freaking number of animators. |

Onepieceuc1 said: mostly freelancers All this people who worked on this episode, are they from A1 or from others studios? |
| Sh*t what happen with the animation -_______- Comparing this episode with the first cour, the animation gone very bad. Okay I am here just for the story and the servant btw |
| And once again people don't appreciate good animation because of derp faces between the frames *sigh* |
| Wow look at all these god damn animators clearly that means it looks AMAZING. Oh wait no it didn't this episode was a TRAINWRECK. The animation style changes every two seconds and so does the camera angle making the fights completely incomprehensible. The INSANE amount of bloom effects and impact flashes that fill every scene hurts my eyes so much. I really don't understand the praise this is getting, did you actually see the episode? Sure some cuts might be ok but god I hated the overall package, well drawn cuts and lots of animators with a ton of frames doesn't add up to anything if the end result is a bloody incomprehensible mess that caused me physical pain to witness. |
| The animation reminded me of Trigger's works and the Digimon Movie. Three servants died this week. The only ones left on Shirou's side are Semiramis and Shakespeare, who apparently is going to do something to Ruler. The Sieg vs Karna left me a bit confused on what was going on, I need to rewatch that thing. Does someone noticed some abrupt cuts between scenes? |
| Mob Psycho Karna. Lmao. Anyway, three dead Servants in a row. I saw the deaths of Atalanta and Achilles coming, but I didn't expected Karna to bite the dust that "soon" after all the hype he recived. Cannot say I totally disliked it, considering he has his wish more or less fullfiled, and he went like a true man after giving his best. I can say I ended liking him at the end. Achiles also went like the GAR he was, finishing Atalanta and putting her out her misery. Best boy from the whole Apocrypha, tbh. The fights were really enjoyable and the art shifts (like the aforementioned ONE Karna above) only made things look wackier and funnier. Tbh, it ended better of what I expected. Also, Achilles's shield NP had to be OP as hell to tank Vasavi Shakti of all things, lol, good thing Chiron nerfed him last episode, otherwise the Black Faction would have been fucked. |
 |
| Lmao so many dumb people calling this badly animated. This episode was by far THE best animated episode of 2017. |
| These comments about how the animation is bad or that any time animation is remotely stylized it's labeled as "looking like Trigger" really sucks to see, lol. Webgen animators does not automatically mean Trigger, people. By far the best looking stuff of the series, the entire episode was just one giant sakuga-fest |
Illyricus said: Also, Achilles's shield NP had to be OP as hell to tank Vasavi Shakti of all things, lol, good thing Chiron nerfed him last episode, otherwise the Black Faction would have been fucked. It didn't tank it.It got destroyed which it shouldn't since it can rank up to Anti-world but it did the job of protecting Sieg so thats a win.In fact,in the novel,the hand in which Astolfo was holding the shield, got blown off due to the sheer amount of raw power VS holds. Anyways,one of the best,if not arguably the best Fate fight till date.So many animators going ham makes for a visual treat.Someone in Apo animation board really likes Karna thats for sure. |
 |
| The episode was good. But the animation was possibly something that I am not used to or so. Unless it was put that way. I guess I was not too happy about it. XP |

| This show has the music and the hype but the animation... its so bad. I was looking foreword to Karna vs Sieg rematch. Thought it would be good considering they spent two weeks on recap episodes... |
 |
| I was waiting for these final duels to be adapted. and JESUS HOLY CHRIST! THIS WAS SOMETHING! BIG DICK EXPLOSIONS, CHAKRA EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE GARNESS EVERYWHERE, I had boner during every second of this episode. Great to see Karna in full force, you made Arjuna proud man, also Atalante and Achileas thats right there! this shit is why i consider them top servants of Apo adaptation, and also best ship... He even give Astolfo his shield ... HIS SHIELD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Next week we Ruler finally will see that Shakespeare, is not just a writer... Animestic said: In fact,in the novel,the hand in which Astolfo was holding the shield, got blown off due to the sheer amount of raw power VS holds. Wasn't the hand blown off here as well ? i feel like they intentionally does not show his arm on screen as if it was intended. |

Thought it would be good considering they spent two weeks on recap episodes... Another one. Unbelievable. I can't even tell if they are trolling or not, calling (probably) the best animated episode of 2017 "bad animation". Yes, calling out a show for having string cheese characters and derpy faces during fight scenes is definitely trolling. |
|
| I really liked the animation they used for this episode. It made the fight scenes more fluid and badass I love how Karna used his eyes to shoot lasers lol |

| Some crazy animation in this episode. It definitely wasn’t bad but I still have some mixed feelings about it. The fights were still great. I’m actually sadder to see those three die than I expected to be. |
 |
| Karna vs Sieg is the best fight i have seen this year. |
