The fate franchise has always used sympathetic backstories to draw attention from the viewer. Astolfo's backstory was never really dug into enough to make him a distinguishable character with his own vision and ideals which further fuels the point that the only purpose he served in this calamity of a story is otaku fuel. Apart from blatant fetishizing, enabling those who want him as their waifbando to better self-insert and fulfill their deviant wishes. I wouldn’t blame guys for pulling their dicks out to Astolfo since he resembles a female more than actual females do. Let’s also not forget about a certain trap that took the anime world by storm. When you have Jack the ripper being portrayed as a loli, that really says a lot about what kind of show this is doesn’t it? The show tries to make the audience in some way, shape or form care for over fifteen named characters all of which either look like generic waifus or characters out of a final fantasy game. A fantastic way to immerse the viewers! But that is far from the worst problem. Its first mistake was starting off with a draining info-dump. It’s a downright train-wreck no matter which angle I approach it from. Fate/Apocrypha is an alternate universe that branches off the fate/stay night universe where the Holy Grail has disappeared after the third Holy Grail war and has landed in the possession of a mage family that declared that they are in ownership of the grail and secede from the association.Īs cool as its premise might sound on paper, Fate/Apocrypha is absolute trash. Instead of seven masters with seven servants fighting amongst each other for the Holy Grail, two factions fight over the grail each with their own set of seven servants and seven masters. This particular fate title follows the same basic formula you would expect from the franchise, but it does have its own unique twist in the plot. While some of their shows are a little excessively over hated their latest title deserves all of the hate it has gotten and has reminded me why I ultimately dislike A-1.įate/Apocrypha is the latest title to come fresh off the conveyor belt and put another popular A-1 show in the limelight once again. To cut a long story short they are a mainstream magnet. Most shows I have encountered from A-1 are weak and only fill a criteria in order to make the maximum amount of profit they can. I do believe that there is a lot of truth to what many say. On the other hand, more demanding viewers have scrutinized their shows for poor writing quality, needless otaku pandering, needless fanservice and in some cases being an absolute train-wreck. Many casual watchers who are not very invested into the anime medium praise their works for their accessibility and good production values. They have a lengthy list of popular shows but most of which are not met with the warmest of critical receptions and many usually have a split amongst watchers. Melodramas in Anohana and Your Lie in April, and the most important one of all: Sword Art Online.
Last year’s big hit Erased, two of the most popular Many battle shounen such as Magi, Blue Exorcist, Fairy Tail and The seven deadly sins have all been met with a warm embrace from anime fans. Being one of the most popular studios for both Western and Japanese fans A-1 have made some of the most popular shows to come out of the medium. Once again delivering the seasonal train-wreck that they have been doing so effectively since the creation of time itself.
The studio who have time and time again, blessed us with their heavenly touch.
As the 14 masters summon their servants and assemble on the battlefield, the magical world shivers in anticipation with the rise of the Great Holy Grail War.Īhhh. Yggdmillennia and the Mage's Association will each deploy seven master-servant pairs, and the side that loses all its combatants first will forfeit the artifact. The lone survivor is used as a messenger to convey Yggdmillennia's declaration of war on the Association.Īs there are only two parties involved in the conflict, the Holy Grail War takes on an unusual form. In response, the Association sends 50 elite magi to retrieve the Grail however, all but one are killed by an unknown servant. Many years later, the magi clan Yggdmillennia announces its possession of the Holy Grail, and intends to leave the Mage's Association. Yet, the third war ended inconclusively, as the Grail mysteriously disappeared following the conflict. Only the last master-servant pair standing may claim the Grail for themselves. In order to obtain this power, various magi known as "masters" summon legendary Heroic Spirits called "servants" to fight for them in a destructive battle royale-the Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail is a powerful, ancient relic capable of granting any wish the beholder desires.
