Mixed Feelings
Fate/Zero - 6/10
Fate/Zero 2nd Season - 7/10
One major let down of Fate/Zero is it's characters. Plain and boring, sometimes they do things for absolutely no reason behind it whatsoever. Only interesting characters are Archer, Kiritsugu Emiya (So Edgy that Matoi Ryuko seems like a fairly balanced person) and Kirei Kotomine (Especially Kirei literally the only reason to watch the show). The rest are just stupid and look like they've been copy-pasted from some saturday morning cartoon. Shitty pacing issues, an actual filler episode (the show is only 13+12 episodes long, get ur shit together). Action scenes look patheticly low-budget and are normally only 20 secs long before some fragment with characters talking for hours and hours (witht he exception of bike chase with Saber and Rider, that was epic). The Story is ok, even though it's presentation is shit. In the Pilot episode we are shown how Mato is the guy, the main char and then he is just erased from existence for next 10 episodes. The show then concentrates on telling us how Saber is the strongest class and shit, and yet for the next 20 episodes it's showing us the exact opposite of that. Music in the episodes is ultra shit, didn't even notice there was a soundtrack.
What i liked was the interesting and even somewhat original setting, which was also reduced to nothing in the following episodes. Best moments of this Series is "Wow did he just kill a character off" moments, even though they get you sometimes, mostly you will just brush it off because THE CHARACTERS DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE YOU NOT GIVE THE SLIGHTIEST SHIT ABOUT THEM, though sometimes they fail and you may feel feels at tear inducing moments like in episode 20. Although for another positive comment the show somehow does keep you entertained in a way that "what are these fags gonna do next" but if you're that easily entertained you may aswell watch cheap american comedy series on budget tv channels.
You know what? I just really liked the opening cinematics, i think i literally enjoyed LiSA's singing in the opening more than the actual series. Guess what? They got rid of that.
The characters actions just make you think you're in a trash comedy movie. The Tension only appears in the 2nd half of the series. On the good side there is an original setting and concept aswell as tear-inducing ending which i respect, but the rest is just Naruto-tier, SAO-tier utter trash.
