As the story progresses, it becomes clear that the weight of the story is rapidly increasing. As the goals are slowly drifting in sight, the people struggling to achieve them are reaching a point of no return. The scales are higher than ever.
Admittedly, the story is not perfect, and I can see why some people might dislike the way the show ended. I personally thought the fit was very applicable to the more mature take on the Fate universe. In general the story improved throughout the length of the entirety of the show, and this is very noticeable when you compare this season to the first. If you managed to stick with the premise and plotlines the first season presented, you are sure to follow the second season even better.
Rather than introducing new plotlines or characters, the show builds upon what the first season established. All in all this makes it a very pleasant continuation to watch, and as the intensity is turned up slowly throughout this season, there is a clear sense of both purpose and dread to be found within the character cast.
Speaking of the characters; They are satisfyingly similar to their counterparts in the first season. As the story progresses towards a heavier plot, so do the characters, which can be seen with an increased sense of purpose and determination. This purpose can be conflicting, and there are many times where the characters are faced with dilemma's and concepts of moral ambiguity.
The more 'physical' appearance of the show has not changed compared to the first season. The art is still excellent, the sound (In both OST and design) stays amazing throughout the shows' lifespan.
I'd say that if you enjoyed the first season of Fate/Zero, there is no doubt in my mind that you will also heavily enjoy this season as well. An excellent experience, and surely to stay confined within my list of favourites.
Thank you for your time, dear valued reader, and hopefully you enjoyed my written experiences concerning "Fate/Zero 2nd Season".
