Aye, more preparation for the big battle now that they got another goddess on their side. Gilgamesh is a very clever character.

Ritsuka also bonds more with Ana and Merlin. Heh, it wasn't long but cool to see some Quetzalcoatl action. Nice cliffhanger.

The animators are doing a good job with how expressive Gorgon is. Also, I like the way she moves around and just towers over everyone and being all queen of the monsters-like.
Also, I wished we had an extra episode to focus more on Ana running errands plus other things as buffer.

Hmm, have they explained Ana's true identity in previous episodes? Guess i forgot it.

So the episode focusing Ana and her story so far + her relationships with the Uruk people, and the inevitable decision she is about to make. Next week is last episode before another break, so they gonna end it with a bang.

Great episode again.

Loved the little story of Ana and the old woman, I kinda wish she wore the flower tiara that the old woman gave her. Ana is precious.

I really liked the conversation between Fujimaru and Merlin, it was interesting and I like how Merlin says that humanity despite it's flaws does truly create history that's worth remembering.

The action sequences were fantastic as always.

Confrontation with Gorgon was cool, Ana with her Divinity unleashed was great. Next week is gonna be action packed.

Just a reminder that Babylonia's nominated for best animation and best fight in anime trending's awards. Will probably lose out to KNY because of popularity bias, but still impressive.

Gotta hand it to Cloverworks, they have done an absolute masterful job adapting this singularity and considering they basically only had talking heads to go off, they really have brought it to life. Another thing I love is that there is never a single wasted minute. Every second is meaningful and advances the plot/action. Shame it's not bigger in the west.

Ana is best girl. Really enjoyed Merlin's dialogue being adapted.

Welp, MagiReco and then back to sleep.

The show doesn't need to when it gives so many visual cues, indirect mentions of it, etc. Ana always says she hates humans. Kingu almost kills her because of her "dangerous eyes and scythe". When they explain who Gorgon is, they got out of their way to focus on Ana mid explanation. It's just small stuff like that the audience should pick up on.

The Axe of Marduk scene was actually funny (yet still awesome) tho

Ana story is surprisingly one of the best part in this Singularity

Pretty standard set up with a nice action piece. Pacing was on the fast side, which also makes me question the insistence to make this a 21 ep anime. Anyways, next week is another big one like episode 8, so I'm looking forward to it.

Another great episode.

Quetzalcoatl was a beast the way she picked and thrown the Axe of Marduk.

A lot of focus on Ana in this episode which was nice. Now with her divinity unleashed, I'm looking forward to next week.

Freaking loved this episode! Such a good adaptation, the fight between Quetz and Kingu was amazing, and the last part with Ana was great too!
I'm happy they didn't skip the old lady part too, that was very memorable.

Great episode! It felt a bit random, the part about Ana helping out that old lady, but when I come to realise it, Ana had to do something while the others were away to the underworld to encounter Eresh. It was really nice to show that. Loved it! If only she would actually wear the flower tiara the old lady made for her, hopefully later!

Quetzalcoatl Vs Kingu was really nice, not sure if it's fortunate or unfortunate to be locked between her thighs though :P

Merlin is releasing Ana's divinity, hype is building up like crazy, eventho a break is coming, I can't wait for the upcoming weeks!

would it have killed the studio to put in scenes of ana helping the old lady before she tells the mc about how much ana helped her
"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

Jesus Christ, the battle sound design was as awful as always. Even if those sounds weren't awful, if those sounds are meant to give impact, he's not using it correctly, since fucking everything uses it, thus making it normal, taking away the impact. It kills to mood so fucking much for me

Quetzacoatl makes throwing the Axe of Marduk look like childs play. It was certainly impressive on an animation and visual point of view, too. =)

While Ritsuka's group was busy in the underworld, we get to know what Ana was up to. It was nice to see her helping out the old lady at her flower shop and you can tell that Ana had a fun time helping out. It's understandable why she did reject the present from the old lady when Ritsuka offered it to her.

Aside from that, this was a great build-up episode which leads perfectly into a rematch against Gorgon. Ana's embracing her divinity, so expect her to go all out next week. It's going to become one hell of a fight...

Quetzacoatl clashing Kingu was pretty good.

Ana continues to be cute, at the start of the episode anyway...
felt sorry for Medusa when she tried to talk face to face with her future, then starts telling everyone she doesn't think she is allowed to be happy or even to exist, and continues telling her wishes. Loving the character developement she got.

Also great use of the outro, playing it while the episode was ending. It matched up well with the mood at the end.
just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it?

For those who complain about sound design, i think u guys are enjoying the show in a bad way. Bad rip source *cough*, or not good sound device.

Holly molly, the orgasm when Prover dropped. First i was saf because we got no Aimer, but man, millet and cloverwork done the show so right.

Fate/Grand Order delivers yet another fine episode! We get beautiful character moments for both Merlin and Ana, and the heroes begin their rematch against Gorgon. I've been really enjoying this show for its ability to combine big and epic battles with poignant character moments, and I hope the show can keep up this excellent quality for the rest of the season.

Really enjoying these talks about humanity we are been having recently.

Great episode this week. It did a nice job at building up tension for the upcoming rematch against Gorgon but the amount of focus Ana received was what I liked the most. It was already noticeable that she has grew fond with the people from Uruk but her story with the old lady was still a really nice addition for her character growth.

So, it seems another big showdown is about to come. Wonder if it will be as epic as episode 8. Can't wait!

holy shit everything about this episode was amazing.
it was a massive ana appreciation and i absolutely love it, they finally put the spot light on ana and gave her the ending she will deserve. Bro the anime finally cracked me, that ending scene with the ed song made me tear up hella bad
Quetzalcoatl is such a monster in combat, she fist pumped kingu breaking a few sound barriers and yeeted a giant axe 30km like a Frisbee. Love her.

They way you word it is like implying she is relevant in other singularities.

Real answer. She isnt relevant in any so far. Unless if you count
