No reviews?
Guess I ll have to take the Honor then.

Did you watch Durarara? Baccano? This is from the same creator
if Yes then you are already familiarized with the author's writting style.
as the name says 'STRANGE' literally means it because this is kinda a nonsense holy grail war in the United States.
Set in the 'SnowField' city that for gods sake is New York, there is even the Central Park.
What amuses me in F/SF is the ammount of political schemes and intrigues involving even outsiders going all the way to the city mayor.
And the incredible characters.. Like just to summon the servants the manga takes ... more than 400 pages (1 volume almost)
Because they develop every character and make sure you understand what is actually happening
without getting boring I just couldnt stop reading until I saw the end.
If you are familiar with the characters and servants (most of them are actually on fate go) so playing fate go is a plus to reading this series.
Overall Story-wise score : 10

Now I ll talk a little about the art. The character designs are just perfect for me, a balance of cuteness and seriousness .
The way the images are presented are a little bit confusing but if you pay enough attention you should be fine.
Overall for art it would be a 8 if I was an actual critic but since I'm presenting my personal opinions here its a 10.

Also, Another aspect of F/SF that I find extremely interesting is that I can't actually tell who are the acutal protagonists
since everybody got +- the same ammount of time.

Peculiarities :
You have Gilgamesh paired up with a loli, playing poker calling ppl mongrels and drinking all the wine of the planet.
Enkidu paired up with a fucking PIG ! (his master is a P I G (oh sorry they like to call it 'chimera'))
Richard I and miss Depression (Saijou Ayaka)
Rebelling servants (No-name-Assasin)
one of Jannu's Afficionates in loli skin ( Francesca ) and another version of her but with a dick (one is the servant and the other is tha master, much like NR and ALICE)
MILF Jack the Ripper.
The police of new york(Snowfield city -.-'') are equipped with noble phantasms.
and much more.

Another reason to make this good is that this is the fate that overrides Apocrypha!
In apoc Amakusa Shirou Tokisada waits like 70 years to begin another war...
In F/SF its the loli François who waits the same 70 years to begin another war
the stories of apoc and strange fake are set in the same period but apocrypha is a very very weak entry in the fate franchise
so forgetting it and diving into Strange Fake is much better.

If you're a Fate fan this is a MUST READ.

UMU!
After episode 7 I felt the need to write a review about it.
But First let me address something that I see happening a lot
the Fate/Extra LE anime is not newbie-friendly so if you were not into fate.. like ate least have watched all the animes and plays Fate GO then you will prolly not understand much of it.. its the same as Buying FATE EXTELLA on steam without having played Fate Extra CCC on a PSP.. because stella is a direct sequel to CCC and so on... in case of fate extra le if you play FGO you are already familiar with the servants, ... knows their background story and maybe have even some kind of emotional attachment to them.
Or if you have played the Extra games it will be even better because you will enjoy the modifications BASED NASU is personally doing as he is charge of the series.

So for me the anime is outstanding.. And im not even a fan of nero... I also would prefer Hakunon instead of Hakuno hahaha.
Shaft's Artstyle and screenplay make it even suitable for this kind of plot
Bringing back Gekidan Inu Curry to do the art makes me want to hug Akiyuki Shinbo.
Story-wise I just feel like its being kinda rushed since its only 2 episodes for each battle but its faithful to the game.. its a fucking dungeon , you win the floormaster and go up.. simply as that.
I personally really like when they change vibes for something.. the OST of the anime gives a mistery and omnious feeling making you feel curious abouts wtf are really happening.
The Characters in the anime are portrayed way more serious and mature than they actually are.. Mainly nero.. her own voice actress Sakura Tange stated that. ( I Wonder how Shaft would make Richard I look like serious because he is literally a clown Saber. I wish it was Him instead of Gawain but ok ok )

Overall.. Im really happy with this adaptation so far.


Thanks for reading.

I've been here on MAL since 2012 I think and this is the first time im writing a review
because this anime deserves it, if trough a review I can get at least one person to watch this underrated masterpiece then Im happy.
Ok, lets go
The story begins at an all girls school that just become CO-ED mostly girls are feminists , the boys who entered the school out of fear were forced to dress and act like girls, except for our MC who fought back, and instead of just plainly defeating them (which would be boring) he made friends whith them , he earned their trust ... , and his prupose is to get their seals so he can leave school grounds (they are not permitted to leave until graduation) . Also theres one major antagonist who seems to have a past with the MC and she will likely be the last boss of the series.
What was supposed to be a harem / ecchi filled boring shounem anime because of its cute and well developed charaters , the fierce battles , the intense dialogue and the good animation quality and ost becomes maybe the AOTS.. altough the show is not over yet i get the feeling that the conclusion will live to expectations. I started this show out of the blue.. simply to kill my free time when I get home from work. And now its the show im most looking foward to watch.
Also, the explanations during the battles, the author created very coherent techniques , fighting styles and made it in a way easy to understand .. they just dont pull out random shit like in Mahouka for example and because of this when someone wins or loses a battle you agree with everything that happened , you're left with ways of imagining the upcoming course of the show because its logic are solid and coherent. Give Busou Shoujo a try. You wont regret it.
