Lol, after a decent first episode, it has been only going downhill. Nero fanservice can't really save this, the characters are hardly interesting(doesn't really help that Hakuno as mc is unimpressive to say the least), and then we only have Nero with some sort of personality at least with a bland, monster of the week formula for the story(even the mystery segments are poorly set up with dry exposition). The only thing that keeps me invested are what sort of new servants gonna show up, not really expecting great fights anyway. And yeah ofc these subs don't really help.

So... Fate/extra "anime original" sequel confirmed? because that's the only way I can see this working.

Gotta admit, this is the most solid episode so far IMO, but still...

Dan and Archer were my favourite charactes in the game and now they have opposite personalities.
I can almost garantee that they are gonna die next episode.

Please, get better...

I don't get it, I really want to like this anime but there is something I can't quite put my finger on that prevents me from doing so. I mean, it's Fate, it's a Shaft anime (directed by Akiyuki Shinbou!), it has an ending by Sayuri... so why does it feel so "forced"? Is it Hakuno having too little impact next to the Umu tornado? Is it Nasu being unable to write something with word/time/space constraints to save his life and thus cutting the wrong stuff? I don't know, and I really really wish I knew.
Yet these hands will never hold anything.
Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!

Yeah, I think this really can't stand on its own without viewing it as a side story to extra. Rider forgot how to fight , Blackmore's entire personality was reversed and he seems slightly crazy and the seraph is rotting away but the impact of all those would be lost to an anime only that doesn’t know how those characters and the world were originally.


To me the anime feels really empty right now , this episode was better than the last but I hope it gets better.

The Umu counter was certainly amusing, but this episode, aside from the improved battle animation, certainly is giving out far more questions than answers right now.

The Seraph system is on the brink, as mentioned before, but I'm surprised that the year is now 3020. Hakuno might be emotionless at times, but even he was shocked to hear that coming out of Rani, who was tending to the graves of former masters.

Either way, I'm still enjoying Fate Extra despite its flaws. Nero Saber is one big reason why I like the show, with her carefree and confident personality being really satisfying to watch. =)

There were some decent bits and pieces in this episode, but once again I end it feeling more lost and confused than I already was at the start. Granted, the terrible subs don't help much, but I'm seriously having a hard time keeping track of what's going on, and it doesn't help in the slightest that Hakuno never expresses emotions and constantly speaks in monotone, even in the face of the revelation that it's the year 3020 and not the 21st century; it just feels like there's nothing for me as a viewer to really latch on to here, and it's honestly frustrating when this has all the pieces for success (it's Fate, it's Shaft and it's directed by Shinbo, so I should be enjoying this but it all feels so.... flat).

You guys could wait a bit more for better subs like APEX or Chyuu. Just a suggestion.

Strange/Fake is nowhere near being completed so it's probably going to be many years before it gets adapted.

Much better episode, this gives interesting info dump, which is different from the game's, such as broken se.ra.ph, the year 3020. It seems like Hakuno feels hatred maybe because the feeling of repeating the same defeat all over again, those dead screenshots of him at the past episode, and he can't get further to the top floor, though if the loop is real.

What a surprise, the two exchange personality, the honorable knight is now a desperate man and archer is now not targeting master? as opposed to their game chara counterpart, I guess what Rani said was true, everyone on that that floor went desperate neither bad or good.

Good to see Rani, I been worried that she won't show up on this adaptation. Surprised she's less like a doll here.

I really don't see why people think this is better than Apocrypha. They both have messy stories, but at least Apo had the decency to explain what the hell was happening. It also had better action, more of it, and was just more fun to watch in general. This episode was slightly better than the rest, but that's not really an accomplishment when it's still mediocre.

Bath time Sabre returns once again, this time with one large, red, ribbon thingy wrapped around her, and we also see her mostly unclothed a second time while her wound was being treated... are we gonna see her almost completely nude a lot in this? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRA-I MEAN FATE EXTRA LAST ENCORE. Also, this was a good episode for that Umu Counter.

Things happened all to quickly with little explanation. They didn't explain much about Rani and what she did so far...

Umu counter at 15 or so. Seems like Saber is the only thing pushing the anime forward, apart from small flashbacks of Hakuno's past. Really hope Hakuno turns out to be a good male MC or at least better than Shirou.


All that Hakuno needs is a better punchline than Shirou’s.



It would take some talent to top that.

"I made this anime so people who didn't play the OG Extra could understand it." - Nasu, 2k18.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

About Dan's character change: The OG!Dan is so much better. Also just give him the Grail, only Leo can win against this pair since Dan doesn't have honor and pride AKA Archer just kills every master and GG.

that Hakuno with code cast of poison resistance tho, very nice, but how and when did you get it, m8?

Archer is marvelous and THAT ENDING CARD HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG someone pls give me a link of it without the credits??

AND RANI IS HERE, BEST GIRL CAME TO SAVE THE STORY. I'm so happy that they didn't forget Rani.

I was going to give a 3/5, but Archer and Rani appeared, soooooooo 5/5.

Step your game, Nasu, remember that the enemy duo also needs to have development, y'know, like in the game. lol

I've been complaining a lot in other forums about how extremely different from the source material this is, but with this episode I've now realized that this is clearly not an adaptation of Fate/Extra... And I really doubt that this is meant to be watched by anyone who hasn't played the game before.

I love it how their awardness is so bad they didn't even realised Rin was gone until like half in the episode lol... It's almost hilariously bad xD

Also funny how despite this still being a "holy grail war" no one want's the grail uptill now... Making Pierce (biggest hypocrite ever lived in type moon) his speech about humanity wanting to abuse the grail completely fall off...

Some minor stuff: Remember when Servants where supposed to be quite durable uptill the point losing a arm wouldn't be much of a hindrance in a fight? Now Nero needs some rest after being shot by a small arrow in the chest, meanwhile vanille saber was running none stop after being hit by a cursed spear wound that didn't heal completely the first 3 days...

I realised with this episode Nasu isn't really keen keeping the same characterisation over his works. That's why blackmore is now a wierd mix of being pragmatic and bloodknight whose only goal is to have the thrill of the hunt even though he only wants to end it fast by focussing on killing the master (another hypocrite).

They should call this show Fate Last Hypocrite, much more fitting.

Archer released poison prior when she got shot so it's easy to conclude the arrow was coated with special poison.

Actually his personality is different from the game, and him being bland in personality and appearance was a plot point, with several characters even telling him that.

The anime is more of a side story that an adaptation, Nasu said that was gonna be original with the intention of being see by newcomer and veteran's alike.

Sadly now we can pretty much confirm that you should have played the game to appreciate the show and most of the newcomers will only get disappoint

. Though, he will probably die next episode. :/

I miss having Shirou as a protag...

Actually Hakuno personality is different from the game, but he also did have a bland appearance and personality but that was actually a plot point, some character even point out that andthere's was a plot twist.

Very nice atmosphere and also nimble and not obvious hints as Shaft is expert on that. The graveyard part with the dream before was creepy too. And I like the interactions between Saber and Hakuno, I'm starting to feel that Shaft can probably save the Fate. We're not quite there yet but it's at least much much better than Apocrypha.

Pretty interesting revelation that this is being set very far into the future. Now not only he has to reach the highest floor but he also have the rest of the series left to think of his wish. Will he save humanity, will he destroy Moon Cell? Who knows.

And that also leaves a question why there are both Sakura and Rin (well..) Now I only wonder why Rin always disappears so quickly.

I'm not hating this. But I confess I expected more. The battles are well below the standard we've seen on Zero, Stay Night and Apocrypha.

Soooooo after Rin take a bath with Saber they don't notice she missing after they arrive on next floor?


This is another strange thing. How could they take so long to notice that she was no longer with them?

Toshiya_ said:

Maybe she went somewhere on her own? Or that scene was from another timeline.


Surely she separated from them on her own. But that does not rule out the fact that it has been poorly worked out that they take so long to realize.
Besides, if it was another timeline Nero would not have felt the same way.

This is another problem. The protagonist has very little personality

The anime really starts in an interesting way. But then he loses strength. Nero is the character who keeps me in the anime.
Beyond flashbacks. In this episode are given interesting revelations that keeps me stuck to the story.
