Excuse me if someone recently covered this. I need to let out my nerd gasm and I've been out of the loop as far as anime goes.
Two weeks ago, I saw all the episodes of Fate Zero season 2. It had been out for a while and I just never found the free time to sit down and watch it. I was in the middle of studying for medical license exams, but I figured I'd take a 30 minute break and watch the first episode of Season 2. Then I watched episode 2 because episode 1 was just that good. And I just kept finding excuses to keep watching.
Let me be frank and rant for a bit.
HOLY SHIT, THIS SHOW WAS FUCKING AMAZING.
YOU GOT KING ARTHUR, DIARMUD, AND ALEXANDER THE GREAT FIGHTING CTHULU BELOW.
THE FATHER OF THE MAN WHO MADE "GAR" A MEME IS SNIPING PEOPLE TO THE SIDE.
ABOVE, GILGAMESH FROM THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH IS FUCKING DOG-FIGHTING LANCELOT ON AN F-15. AND LANCELOT DOES AN IMMELMAN TURN--WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN DO IN A JET WITH THRUST VECTORING, BUT BERSERKER-LANCELOT IS JUST A BOSS LIKE THAT, AND DULY IGNORES MINOR THINGS LIKE PHYSICS.
AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN
YUKI KAJIURA'S RENDITION OF "SWORD OF PROMISED VICTORY" STARTS PLAYING! I WAS WAITING A WHOLE SEASON FOR THIS PART! SEASON ONE'S ONLY FLAW WAS NO LASER SWORD/WAVE MOTION GUN!
AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN
EKSU-KARIBAAA!
And the rest of the season was similarly all sorts of boss.
Really, a show based in the Nasuverse, a darker version of Fate Stay Night's Holy Grail War showcasing just how gory the tournament can really be, with a plot adapted from Nasu's novel by Gen Urobuchi, with excellent animation by the guys who did Kara no Kyoukai, WITH MUSIC BY YUKI KAJIURA.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Most Badass Anime Ever. Fate Zero is to anime what Dark Knight Rises is to superhero movies.
(I love how Irisviel is all like, "Yes, and its name is..." Because we Fate fans already totally know it and were WAITING FOR THIS.)
(I originally thought Saber was the most badass Servant. Then I thought Archer was the most badass with his Reality Marble. Then I met Kiritsugu and realized that the senior Emiya makes his son look like a total pussy. Then Berserker started flying F15s. I now have a new god.)
