This review is from a person who thought Shingetsutan Tsukihime was a decent anime and I liked Fate/Stay Night but I can say without a doubt that I loved Carnival Phantasm. These 12 episodes will most probably crack you up if you like TYPE-MOONs works. And while I may seem to exaggerate with the review I just have to say that this is how I felt when I watched this show.

Story - 10
These episodes is only made for laughing and I can say that they succeeded. What can you possible ask for more than for example: Berserker goes out to buy batteries and Saber works as a maid in a café and other weird and crazy competitions for the Holy Grail. Each episode mostly consists of several skits that could be from a few seconds long to the whole episode.

Art - 10
As Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night have a few years on their back they have chosen a studio to make all the characters really cute as for the background that is really well done. The character designs fits perfectly considering what kind of show you are watching. The animation is top notch and I can't find a single fault.

Sound - 10
The voice actors for some of the characters have changed which maybe seems like a bad idea but it turned out to be better than before. They've done a terrific work to both sound cute and hectic when the situation calls for it. I must say that Kawasumi Ayako (Saber's voice actor) did the best job of the entire cast of veterans. The soundtracks for this show is also really good and are played when it is appropriate. The opening "Super Affection" that is sung by Minami Kuribayashi, Miyuki Hashimoto, Faylan, Aki Misato, yozuca* and rino is an upbeats song that fits the pace of the series and is a perfect intro for the anime. The ending song "Fellows" sung by Endou Masaaki is not that upbeat but still catchy and both are songs that a really likable.

Characters - 10
Considering that the characters from both these animes (or visual novels if some of you would like) revolves alot around killing and murder, I find it awfully funny seeing the characters in this kind of show. I find many of the characters a lot more likable than in the original. And as I wrote before the character designs are a lot cuter as well which may take part in make them more likable.

Enjoyment - 10
I haven't been laughing like this in a while and it is one of the best comedies out there and I literally laughed out several times while watching these episodes. And I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Overall - 10
To have given every aspect of this review a 10 I have enjoyed this anime in every way possible and I am sad that the show has ended. But at least I had a great time watching it and I am glad I did watch it.

I hope you liked my review and that you will watch it, and if you will watch it... Enjoy!
