| I will try and set my expectations low though I do hope this turns out to be a success so we can see more CLAMP adaptations. |
| Signature. |
| The art is different from the original, much softer and smaller, but it's quite pretty. |

| Why does this manga need a female protagonist if it's yaoi? Some kind of original game with self-insert? Also, Nana Mizuki is participating in the gay title again, but this time male and not female. Is that how the wedding and pregnansy affected her, lol? |

| Seishirou's voice feels off. And I really don't like Subaru's voice at all. I like his voice actor, but not for this role! When a manga is adapted into an anime, I know the art will change, and I accept that. But, if the mangaka has some unique qualities in their art, you should try to copy them, I think, because they are what makes the art feel special. However, this PV makes it look like they completely removed all of the pretty effects, and replaced them with CGI. I am worried about this anime. I hope this somehow ends up being good. |
| How come it looks so good and so bad at the same time? |

| I want more CLAMP adaptions, but I'm wary. |

| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |

Oh, CLAMP is really CLAMP, lol. |
