2. This is not ufotable.

^How are you supposed to self insert into well-defined flawed characters tho? Especially ones who have predefined and clear romantic interest?

No Mobage will ever have a well defined interesting lead character(or any clear defined controversial character since most of them are supposed to be attractive to the player). Even among LNs it is rare.

I found the overall thing to be kinda boring. Mashu and protag are as generic as they come, along with tsundere girl. One thing I liked though was caster. He should've been the protag tbh. And I also liked how medusas new outfit actually looks like something that would be worn in an older time period instead of the modern looking s&m outfit from the original. Plus snakes in hair is an improvement

Same guy/hero in a different class.

It was a good special episode.
I thought it will be way shorter and it would have less good animation, but I was glad that it last this long and the animation was good.
Caster was pretty badass in this, I always liked him.
Always nice to see Archer, he had a nice fight to watch with Caster.
Mashu was a nice character too.
The hero was bland but not annoying so it was ok, at the start he litteraly act like the player that wake up in a rpg and know nothing and ask question he should know. :p

They introduced their universe well, I would like to see more.

Also your question what "what's better than an impenetrable shield?" Here's a hint (if you don't straight look at her True NP), Her NP is not a shield, but this something is much bigger that it can block armies from getting in and keep your allies safe inside.

The anime already showed it was a wall. Knowing Fate it would be "Walls of ___" or something. But no wall is impenetrable; especially not one made of bricks. The ancient structures of tightly fitted or moulded stones with no use of mortar are earthquake proof and stronger than any brick structure ever made (only thing that would take down something like that is the Arc of the Covenant maybe, but that's because that's a sonic weapon).
Fiction will be fiction.

Welp, that was a thing. Felt like a rushed sequence of events only loosely connected together in something resembling a "story" with a bunch of Fate references and a stereotypical waifu-bait up front. This probably could've been more interesting if they had stretched it to a couple hours and did a proper job, but as it sits its just really mediocre. And what's the deal with just randomly torturing Director chick for all eternity? Were we supposed to feel bad for her? Christ, Sachi had more screen time in SAO to get attached to than whatever the hell that was, and even she could've used more! Just came off as torture-porn to me without any real narrative purpose; edgy as fuck. All the characters aside from Caster were just bland cut-outs.

I'll say that at least the art was alright because Fate, and the Lancer.... oops, I mean Caster battles were kind of cool.

Mediocre fight direction (seriously, just standing there with a shield while someone pounds away is lame), mediocre characters, mediocre soundtrack, mediocre story. I'll give it a 6/10 for some cool ideas, but that seems overly generous.

Edit: And the fact that the score for this one is somehow higher than Gi(a)rlish Number's score is really blowing my mind right now. Fate fanbois gonna Fate, especially with that pink-haired Rei-clone waifu to bait them.

Roman and Davinci sure - but Surface-depth at most compared to most of fate works. Both are walking talking stereotypes with no depth or bigger personality flaws.


I think you're exaggerating here. Roman is great. He's been a huge surprise for me and he's a very well done character with his own personality quirks, evolving relationships (he mistrusted Da Vinci first and we know their relationship changes for the better), good storyarc and flaws to balance him. Specially if you hunt down the interludes and re-read all his scenes, he's perhaps the best done character of the main cast. Da Vinci is also fine, she's a bit less well-layered,


Fai said:
Mashu? LOL. Waifu-baiting is not characterization. At least there's a worse character than Sakura in nasuverse now. A true special snowflake

There's no reason to care for Mashu except for the fact that story literally force-feeds you her EVERYWHERE going "AINT SHE NICE!?! AINT SHE CARING?!?! YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO LIKE HER". Even this special highlights that on how the SelfInsertProtag should instantly like her and think she is just the best.


Hey, now I'm thinking you're vastly overexaggerating. It's truth she's a bit bland to my tastes, but her story was just fine and she's pretty sympathetic. This isn't like Olga's case whose entire backstory was shoved down our throats in a badly clunky way when she was a stranger for the purpose of pity (anime fixed this, thank you Nasu!). She remained a mystery until the latest orders, once there's been built up of Mashu as an ally and friend. Maybe she's your particular taste, but she's pretty fine and she fulfills her role nicely.

Currently, Lord Chaldeas is a False name, and actually lowers it's true defensive Strength.

Lol that was interesting, Cú Chulainn as Caster? What a manly man, definitely has the same personality though, I'd recognize his demeanor pretty easily.
loved how he wanted to be resummoned as Lancer
Wait wait wait. That's... Galahad? I mean, Saber did seem to recognize Mashu's HS... but... Galahad?

Well most knew something like that would happen anyway with the way the scene was progressing.

I enjoyed this special quite a bit more than I thought. Sorta got me interested in picking F/GO up again. I might just download it again, might not play much though.
I miss Saber. cries
Pretty much just a fanservice episode for people invested in the Nasuverse, but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Ah, I knew I recognized that ED from somewhere. It was part of Koufuku Graffiti's OP album single right?

For the one that hasn't played the game, don't express such "doubt."

"Enjoyable" is subjective. You are not the center of the universe.

And I already told you, the anime left many unfinished plot lines. It was meant to tell you: "Hey, go play the game." The anime did a good job adapting the beginning of the game. In fact, the anime added substances to the plot. In the end, you can't make a gourmet out of KFC.

Is GE a good anime? Debatable.

Is GE a good adaption? Yes, it surely is.

*Edit: Why the f*** did you disagree with me again? I played the game, so I look at the anime from a different perspective.

Most of the characters were pretty meh, Mash and Olga are the only two character names I can remember though, so for now it means not alot of impact, but it was only an hour so ill give it that.

The adaptation itself was pretty good, as an anime, it was too cliche and went too Otaku (right senpai?)

Moreover, am I the only one that despises how Olga dies? Like say what you will about her character, I dont really care much there, but her design was actually pretty darn good, the only really not bland and generic one of the human people (excluding main villain). And I happened to like her character the most (or dislike it the least?) - though god her backstory was rushed. Lets just have her spit out a sad backstory then kill her 30 seconds later....

I havent played the game (is it translated?) but there needs to be an ending or sequel where Olga comes back, somehow...

1. Not Quite right though, more of a fanservice to Fate/Grand Order Players, Most people who are "REALLY" invested in the Nasuverse is either confused or pulling their hairs out of the absurdity of the game itself. Since very little of the "rules" established in previous works is consistent in F/GO, and people discussing Power levels would never reached an agreement.

2. Shikisai by Maaya Sakamoto was the opening song for F/GO, Apparently it was already recorded before the release of F/GO because it got delayed a lot back then. It was really rough being a F/GO player back in those early days.

She became a running joke for players who didn't play the story though.
A: "Where's Olga, haven't seen her recently?"
B: "You didn't read the story, huh?"

Not yet, but pastebins translations exists though. So for now, the only way is just go play the game, and then read those to actually understand what actually happened.

As corrected by two people here, YES she's DEAD. But She still appears in other stories like Melty Blood or El Melloi's II Case stories, usually as a child though.

Yeah, it'll make sense once you know the "true form" of the shield. If you're not going to play the game, just read her NP at the wiki, Because it would take 7 chapters of the game to get to her true origin, that's way too much time to grind though, as rushing to it is nigh impossible, espceially if you have E Rank Luck, and fail to get above SR rarity Servants

In game, learning her true identity made her from a "Free Servant" in the party (she has 0 costs to use, Saber Arthuria in comparison costs 12 point to use in a party), to a literal walking fortress with the same 0 cost.

She was Using Harpe the weapon of Persesus that killed the actual Gorgon Medusa..She's also a Lancer in this singularity of Fuyuki Grail War.

Sucks for Olga Marie. Didn't even get her time to shine.

She's not dead though, she leyshifted to Melty Blood.

Yeah i see it... I guess i missed the name when i first looked at it. I'd assume the idea is that she can be a protector of many, even though Aegis would be stronger for focused attacks.

Also i found the same scene as in the OVA but in game form; Saber Alter vs Mashu w/Chaldeas:

So what? Is the main villain another "crazy" heroic spirit? I also don't understand why the director keeps saying "why do these things keep happening to me". Her character was really confusing because she had such limited backstory. The only thing I can infer is that she gets looked down on for being such a strong mage and unable to be a master? Then she also didn't have an aptitude for the time travel on top of it so she feels cursed?

Also can anyone tell me how the MC managed to help the girl hold up the shield? Did he literally just walk through saber's excalibur's beams that were being deflected on both sides of the shield? Also did they ever mention who the noble spirit with the shield was? From saber's words I'm guessing it's someone she knows?

So what? Is the main villain another "crazy" heroic spirit? I also don't understand why the director keeps saying "why do these things keep happening to me". Her character was really confusing because she had such limited backstory. The only thing I can infer is that she gets looked down on for being such a strong mage and unable to be a master? Then she also didn't have an aptitude for the time travel on top of it so she feels cursed?

Also can anyone tell me how the MC managed to help the girl hold up the shield? Did he literally just walk through saber's excalibur's beams that were being deflected on both sides of the shield? Also did they ever mention who the noble spirit with the shield was? From saber's words I'm guessing it's someone she knows?


" Is the main villain another "crazy" heroic spirit?"
Prof. Lev is not a Heroic Spirit, he's a human. he's actually the on that design the summoning system for the Masters in Chaldea. He's the mid-boss of the game. Spoilery stuff, the BIG BAD, is not a Servant, but disguised as one

I also don't understand why the director keeps saying "why do these things keep happening to me"
She's like Rin, but much more unfortunate in life.
-Dad died miserably by suicide
-she has 0% chance to become a Master
-Her plan to lead a bunch of MAsters to save humanity got "blown up"
-then she got betrayed by one of her most trusted, Prof Lev
In short she had a very sucky life.

Then she also didn't have an aptitude for the time travel on top of it so she feels cursed?
No, you misunderstood that part. She didn't know that she was actually already dead by the explosion, only her soul that got leyshifted, Lev ultimately killed her by sending her soul back to Chaldea the present.

Also can anyone tell me how the MC managed to help the girl hold up the shield? Did he literally just walk through saber's excalibur's beams that were being deflected on both sides of the shield?
I didn't remember exactly how it did in the game, but it's an asspull. F/GO runs on convenient ass pulling. F/GO is entertaining, but don't expect high levels of writing for it, even if Nasu was the one who wrote most of it.

Also did they ever mention who the noble spirit with the shield was? From saber's words I'm guessing it's someone she knows?
Yes, in game, her identity was found in Chapter 7.

I'd assume the idea is that she can be a protector of many, even though Aegis would be stronger for focused attacks.


Yeah Aegis would be cool and all, but seeing that Fate series is full of Arthurian Legend, IMO it would be missing an opportunity not to use that lore.

I mean her True NP turns out really cool lol.

She was Using Harpe the weapon of Persesus that killed the actual Gorgon Medusa..She's also a Lancer in this singularity of Fuyuki Grail War.


She's not dead though, she leyshifted to Melty Blood.

Oooohhh. I see. I guess I should have expected they take inspiration from Perseus considering they gave Pegasus to Medusa. Glad to hear about Olda Marie too. Thanks for the info.
Well Pegasus is literally her child, born from her neck after Perseus killed her, in the actual legend.

Hard to answer.


Don't expect much sense from villain motivations in this work.

I also don't understand why the director keeps saying "why do these things keep happening to me". Her character was really confusing because she had such limited backstory. The only thing I can infer is that she gets looked down on for being such a strong mage and unable to be a master?

Its a try to "give" her a backstory but a half-assed one. TLDR: She was unlucky and most of shit went bad in her life.

How does Caster Cu manage to kill Saber Alter Here despite it being his nerf class(as in one of weakest he can be in) and Saber having insane resistance to magic that even someone from age of gods like FSN Caster(Who could technically trounce Caster Cu in a single hit) could not do anything against?
Power of friendship and Asspulls. FGO runs on that. Not only runs on that but takes it to Pokemon level of friendship-wank.

There's not a single definitive rule in FGO.

The HS that shield belongs to is revealed latter. The HS makes perfect sense but the NP reveal itself is the topkek level of wtf.

1. Avalon is one of a kind thing that is said to surpass EVERYTHING, even true magic. But it is limited in use.
2. Its also specifically not even a noble phantasm. Its an one of a kind item.
3. Its not technically a shield even. It does not "shield" you from anything.

4. It most likely should not be able to block fullpower EA for example


Its nothing as ridiculous as what is done here, especially considering how power-wanked Excalibur overall is and that the one defending against it is not even a "full" servant.

And i doubt it's because of the anime.

Even if anime are only promoting, they should be enjoyable without reading/playing the source Material.


For the one that hasn't played the game, don't express such "doubt."

"Enjoyable" is subjective. You are not the center of the universe.

And I already told you, the anime left many unfinished plot lines. It was meant to tell you: "Hey, go play the game." The anime did a good job adapting the beginning of the game. In fact, the anime added substances to the plot. In the end, you can't make a gourmet out of KFC.

Is GE a good anime? Debatable.

Is GE a good adaption? Yes, it surely is.

*Edit: Why the f*** did you disagree with me again? I played the game, so I look at the anime from a different perspective.

>_>
<_<
I'm someone who played the games, enjoyed the game immensely and desliked the anime a fair bit.
It's pretty hard to fuck up an adaptation of such a simple story like GE, and while UFO didn't do anything egregious, it took a story that was mostly meant to justify gameplay elements and did very little to make it more interesting IMO, and Lenka being the biggest example of what absolutely sucked as an anime-original addition.

I want to say i liked it but not even my taste is terrible enough to excuse this mess. The protag and mary sue are definitely the weakest characters ever written by Nasu. Sure it's based on the "game" and the storytelling there is also weak but i had this slightest hope they actually would do something more with them now they are animated. (If it's just made as a advertisement for the game then it doesn't make sence to animate more parts.)

Any scene or interaction between them felt so shoehorned it made even Kirito and Ayato facepalm.

Olga was better but still terrible and i don't understand why people could compare her with Rin just because she is tsundere? Feels like an insult.

Fighting scenes range from terrible to subpar at best, why are all fights with shielder in it so lackluster? Why do the enemy servants keep banging against her shield like a retard? It's like they weren't even moving or even trying to fight...

Only Cu vs Archer was the only battle that actually looked like a fight.
As for Cu caster stealing the spot light and winning every fight with barely any help, yeau obviously overpowered. (Heck even Lancer Medusa would never go down with some rune magic since she has a innate magic resistance of rank B that would have been boosted if she would be summoned as a lancer class).
