what the fuck did i just watch?

This was some crazy shit, I was not expecting this. This show does so much shit at such a low budget that it's not even remotely surprising that some of it is very messy. This show belongs to a sub genre of television that is meant to be watched at around 13 years old. The internet is down, the tv is shit and you're running a high fever. This allows you to truly comprehend the show emotionally but completely fail to understand it intellectually. You wake up the next day slightly traumatized and maybe with a fetish for a ... specific kind of white woman.

Anyways this show is a tragedy, steampunk, post-apocalyptic, gothic, mystery, thriller. That's a lotta shit. The show's about a cult who purport themselves as the "gilgamesh" meddling with the world order, as you may have guess they are up to some serious fuckshit. Some kind of geomagnetic fuckshit has made the sky a mirror that prevents all computer electronics from working.

The style of the show is very unique, it has a supremely suffocating muted art style that feels inspired by a french noir movie. Fitting with the setting they chose a soundtrack that feels like it's taken out of an old ass scooby doo episode or star trek or some shit. Like it's all big band stuff with horns and fluts and shit.


The main character's are pretty solid. The countess is one of the best renditions of ice cold bitch I've ever seen. The main character is a biiiiittt mid though. (the fits are fucking fire too)

The lore is just god damn excellent, it's like neon genisis evangelion except it's exposition isn't bloody nonsense, mixed with some Nier like mystery. (the 11th episode i swear is some nier shit)


Alright boys, it's time for the bad.
1. the gilgamesh are a bit underdeveloped. I can tell purely from their design and how they position themselves what they are meant to be , but their motivations, personalities and organization in general is left pretty much untouched.

2. some characterization is kind of clumsy especially near the end.

3. the final episode is rushed to hell, imagine the end of evangelion if it was only 2 epiodes. (wait, we got that and it fuckign sucked)

4. a lot of animation is not great, especially in fights

all an all this shit is at least an 8 out of 10. i honestly think most of the issues were budget related. It was tough at times but getting through to it was definitely worth it.

Fate/kaleid is the beer crawl of the fate series. Some of it's awesome, some of it disgusts you. Some you'll completely forget(suppressed). You'll get to the end and you'll mostly remember the good parts. Was it worth it? I don't know, but there is a shitty barely legible plaque in my psyche somewhere that says I did it.

This is by far the best season. This is a show that gets better the longer you watch it. The animation improves, the stories improve and it even transforms from a primarily yuri loli spinoff to an action that is capable of standing on it's own.
