Five episodes down in Fate/Zero. I started it last night and blasted through three episodes (four if we want to go by runtime because the first was totally two episodes in length) and then blasted through another pair before work today.

Good show so far. I am having the damnedest time remembering the names of the various Masters but Leon is a gem and I threw him archetypal descriptions so he could toss back the real names. The following is edited for content in order to make me look a touch wittier at his expense:

Priest Guy Who Is Chairman-esque Guy's Son and "Sacrificed" Assassin
Kirei Kotomine

Magekiller Guy Who Is Involved With Silver-Haired Gal And Has A Raven-Haired Assistant
Kiritsugu Emiya

Silver-Haired Gal
Irisviel Einsbern
Usually just called "Iri"

Saji Crossroad
Waver Velvet

Johnny Yong PSYCHO Persona 4 Adachi 2.0
Ryunosuke Uryu

Sympathetic Ringworm Lad
Kariya Matou

Stylish Wine-Drinking Nobleman a.k.a. Miles Edgeworth
Tokiomi Tohsaka

We're going to play a game with this show. Whoever guesses my current favorite character accurately first will win a fabulous prize. The prize is respect.

The art is excellent. The action is amazing. The music is pretty good. A lot of the dialogue is, uh, you know, it's dubbed anime 101, but that just enriches the whole experience for me. The folks I'm splitting an apartment with right now, they've both seen the series already, and they're both kinda like, you know, "so the dialogue is not what you come here for", but I mean, look. I watch this and then The Crown and Handmaid's Tale. I am running the gamut here. I am running the gamut. Right? I love the refined elegance, I love the dryness or the acerbic wit, over yonder. But here? With Fate/Zero? I love the yelled cliche lines delivered with such compassion, conviction, furor. Voice acting is the best, innit?

I'll also make some BOLD PREDIX. I think Kirei or Kiritsugu are going to win. I think this may have upset Leon and I base this on him telling me near the end of his run that it was looking like whoever it was that he had hoped would win wasn't likely to win. I didn't get an answer on any of this and he hadn't actually completed the series yet at that point so no spoilers, ya? But we'll see. Ya, were see.
