Fate Zero 2nd Season | Review 1

GRC RATING : 8.8

Fate Zero 2 one of most anticipated anime this season. Its continuation of Fate Zero, so if you haven't watch it you should watch it first. The season 2 of  Fate Zero definitely involves more action than that of the last season (so far). Thus, the tension the 2nd season creates a heavier and intense atmosphere. well I like all type-moon product if and Fate Zero is one of best animation in my opinion. This series originally light novel written by Urobuchi Gen. Story about 4th Holy Grail war and Prequel of Fate Stay Night. 

Lets see my friend opinion about Fate Zero 2nd

The graphics and music in fate zero needs to be pinpointed to an Oscar award soon or there's no hope for future anime series left. The graphics in fate zero definitely exists as one of the best out there. The artistic aspects not only illuminate the detailed/general setting very well but seems to depict each character's personality as well. Ever since I've seen fate zero, there hasn't been any other series (with a few exceptions) that I have considered a 10/10 when judging its artistic qualities. The music in this series is also nicely executed in fluency with the sound acting and special effects. Most of which raises the level of fierceness in a specific action scene or just makes the actual animation showing on the screen more engaging.

I definitely made some comparisons in the two stories. And the only conclusion I have come up with till now- Fate Zero is extremely focused on the Holy Grail War. Apart from a filler episode all the other episodes focus on the strategies meticulously being executed by each of the Masters along with their Servants. Somehow Fate Stay Night lacked this kind of focus. The strategies of the Masters are complex, the Servants are all very powerful. (Its really not too predictable who the last standing two dueling parties will be). They are honorable knights fighting for the Grail but at the same time also maintaining their pride and dignity. I think it is this fact that has really built up a mood of awesomeness visually in all these episodes.

Okay then lets move to aspect review

Story

Story about holy grail theme is not new its already introduced in fate stay night. but what make Fate Zero [FZ] superior than Fate Stay Night [FSN] its so called serious mode of holy grail war. Nasu Kinoko [Original writer of Fate franchise] said that Urobuchi Gen's heaven's feel [Aka Holy grail war] is like hell. In this second season i believe the story will moving forward faster and more action. Story of hope, anger, despair, envy, loyalty created heated rivalry of human ideals from the present and the past.

Animation

Animation is one of the best in this season, as expected from UFOTABLE their animation is Movie like. If you watched GYO and Kara No Kyoukai you will know Ufotable animation. Basically they like make dark and bluish scene. Fighting Scene well executed and cell shading so cool with flying particle when clash of weapon.

Sound

Kajiura Yuki always sets a musical theme song of every character, it is also the case for this series. Iskander and Gilgamesh have been given themes where some middle eastern or eastern instruments have been used. An extremely strong point of this series is the Voice Actors. Each one of them has breath life into each character. The arrogance in Gilgamesh, the pride of Iskander, Saber, all the voice actors have done an excellent job which help in building up the character of each of the Servants as well as the Masters. The dialogues have been meticulously written. Many philosophical, many filled with pride of the knights

Character

From Eps 14 -16 [when this review written] every episode reveal true nature of the magus, intriguing and engaging especially the protagonist who act antagonistic and opportunistic "Emiya Kiritsugu" remind me of Kira from Deathnote.

Overall

Really no complaints on any aspect of the show. Extremely well planned and executed story. Very interesting plot, perfect for an action thriller. Strong character cast whose actions are enjoyable to watch. Awesome dialogues and strategies shown in the series. Completely recommended.
