I love Ereshkigal but probably the character I liked the most in Babylonia was Ishtar and I'm enjoying every moment of her on screen. I love how tsundere she is.

The fights continue to be awesome.

Chained Mash. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)...... Man, Mash never disappoints with the butt shots.

Ushi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My God, Anna gets more adorable with each episode.

Dafuq is Spirit Origin???


Basically, the magical core of a Servant's body.
It's what maintains their forms and existence when summoned.

All of the good stuff were overshadowed by the cg snake hair..... sigh

Unless they fix that in the fight scenes we are fucked.

And if she needs cg parts then ifear the worst for No1 Mother.


It honestly wasn't that bad, plus we already saw them switch between CGI and regular animation during fights.
I don't think it will negatively impact the show in any way.

Its basically a body of a servant, it needs to be supplied with mana otherwise it will disappear. You see nasuverse has a habit of naming the most basic shit by the most complicated nameplates.

Well it isnt that far away from the grails we know.


Some Grails can function wish granters regardless, whether or not you are a real mage to use them. We know the seven Singularity Grails are wish granters because
Fuyuki's Grail is a wish granter too because of Justaze's sorcery trait and the Rhine's gold, as is the original true wish granter "Holy Grail" that appears in Prototype


On the other hand, the original real Holy Grail, as in Jesus' Holy Grail, isn't a wish maker. Proto Grail, the original wish maker, is supposed to be the counterpart to its real nature.

Isthar big tsun as expected, wonder why she decided to stop fighting though.

Been looking forward to see Ushi that little troll <3
Ana with the cake is just too precious.

@deg: that's fine, it's because the Fuyuki Grail War has a wish maker grail and is made with Rhine's Gold. I can tell you why that's relevant in a private message if you want, but it'll be minor trivia here.

This third episode was great once again, CloverWorks are doing their job damn fine! The fighting scenes look amazing in my opinion, and the scenery looks gorgeous too.

Gilgamesh' laughter and Ishtar stepping in like the goddess she is were flawless. Ana is extra cute, just like Ushiwakamaru and Mash in that casual attire. I laughed my ass out when Merlin told Fujimaru and Mash to have a date and then we went up the stairs and they both blushed.

I really like how the adaptation is going! I can't wait for Eresh to show up :)

Gosh, having Gilgamesh in a show makes it 17 times better by default. That laugh was hillarious. Just seeing him laugh is enough to kinda get me in his head. Gil is probably one of the best characters in all of Anime. Merlin is also a big troll, and Ana and Mash are adorable. And heck, even Rin is fun, even though I hate the Ishtar/Rin thing.

it will be great if they can keep up this level of animation quality but usually after the first 4-6 episodes TV anime gets some animation quality drop due to tightening production schedule

although CloverWorks did manage to make a consistent animation quality with Darling in the FranXX but then studio Trigger help them animate like half of the total episodes of it

This episode was done at the beginning of the year so no need to worry about the schedule.

It might really have something to do with the input or the way you put your ideas up on these forums. Either way do not give it much thought - the quality of average forum goer here is about the same as that of my shoes dirt.
And I don't have any dirt on my shoes.
By the way don't you feel like this one Fate/ sucks? I checked only this episode out and it starts feeling to me they are slowly turning Fate/ into a "Assassin's creed", in the "franchise-milking sense". Besides well-animated, smooth actions scenes it does not seem to have much going for it.

ye i heard from sakuga experts on anitwitter and even read the sakugablog about it that the production schedule of this anime is good although sakugablog and anitwitter also did say the same thing about Fire Force but im not feeling the animation quality of that one after episode 1 even though it also have a lot of sakuga but not as impressive as this new Fate show so far

and about Trigger fair enough thats why i add the word "like" there since im not absolutely sure

@Daniel_Naumov

im not gonna judge this show yet after just 3 episodes and nah i do not believe in the 3 episode rule although there are lots of dialogues/info dumps that really feels like you need to know the source material of this and that is you have to be a player of its mobile game

I mean overall it looks less than original Fates. This one looks more like it is meant for mass consumer, without much depth but with pictures and colours to make the average viewer feel invested. I don't know, maybe I am just beyond all this mundane stuff.

oh man i freaked at the ending. i can't wait to see more of Mother and the other goddesses *o*

I was wondering a lot about how they were gonna deal with the slice of life section of Babylonia, but it was really nice to see that montage about all the stuff they did.

Overall, this episode was so nice. Starting off with that awesome Gil to Ishtar fights. they always manage to do a spot on job with it and Ishtar's fighting style never ceases to amaze me. she's much better of a fighter than i imagined from the game. and then afterwards with the little party in the embassy. ahhhhh i was so happy to see my Ushi <3 and everyone there was so cute too and there was so much Ana adorableness going on here. loved every second of it and based on the post-credit scenes, i'm even more excited with what's to come :]

I think they've adapted this well so far, especially with the fight scenes being much more animated (literally) than they are in the game. My only complaints so far are that Fujimaru and Mash are boring MCs, which is made worse in the anime because Fujimaru is no longer a self-insert, but I guess there's not really a way to work around this for the anime producers. Also I think they missed an opportunity to show more of Anna in the flower shop.


What's the difference?

It's actually illegal for Ana to be this cute! Petty much a given that this shows quality is going to be consistent for the remainder of its runtime(although the CG hair at the end didn't look particularly good). After 3 episodes, I think it's also fair to say this is going to be a solid adaptation of Babylonia, so I'm just here to enjoy the ride now.

Great episode. The character moments were amazing.
But the fucking sound design of the battles were atrocious. Clipping loud noises, with weird high pitched sounds, that overpower and drag down all other sounds. The chain wrapping around the pillar is the best example of what is wrong with the sound design. It's really off putting to me, which is sad, because I love everything else.

I loved the scene where she got intimidated and went full tsun and I think her fight sequences are the best ones so far.

Montage with life in Uruk was nice.
This episode made me like Ushiwakamaru a lot more and now I feel bad for never using her in the game. XD
Ana is just too precious.

The last scene before the ED with Ritsuka talking about how he wanted to save the people and ending with Ana smiling was wonderful.

Post credit scene with them reveals.

As someone who has played the game up to where it is now, not a single story in Fate/GO even compares to Fate/Zero. Even if they manage to animate every episode perfectly, the story just isn’t as good as Fate/Zero and that’s fine

Ritsuka and Mash's adventure continues as our heroes form an uneasy alliance with Gilgamesh in an attempt to secure the Holy Grail. One big battle aside, this episode was actually fairly calm and peaceful and focused more on character interactions. It's nice to see the heroes take some time to relax without having to worry about the fate of the world, and there are some funny moments with other Servants during the dinner scene. Scenes like those go along way in getting viewers to care about the characters. One of the authors working for the Warhammer 40000 saga said that there is more than war in the 41st century, there was also real people too, and I think that principle can apply to the Fate. You need to find a way to get your viewers to sympathize with the heroes and their struggles. You can't just have one big epic battle after the other. Context matters. All in all, this episode was amazing and I think Fate/Grand Order is shaping up to be the MVP of the season.

Not really. He's a good guy after all, here. Otherwise he wouldn't have allowed them to stay to help.

Any other Gil in the franchise isn't really a good guy with anyone.

wonder why she decided to stop fighting though.

Half of the reason is in what she did exactly before stopping.
The other half of the reason is a spoiler that will be revealed a little later.

Are you talking about NA or JP progress? As someone who played up to Part 2 Chapter 4, to me it blows Fate/Zero out of the water.

And the rest of Part 2 is only going to get better as we've been building up to them.

FGO definitely has more depth than other fate series considering the Part 2 story line. Unfortunately I actually agree that the Babylonia chapter is probably the one that has the least depth out of all the good chapters in FGO. It's definitely an epic chapter, but it isn't really much of a story oriented one. Keep an eye on it though, as this chapter is also one that starts pretty slow and can be kind of boring in the first half. This kind of sentiment is somewhat normal.
