80. Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014)
ZXAdvent_Lucian (2/2)


I have a confession to make. I'm not a fan of Fate. Well, I guess I can't really say that. It's a story originally written for a visual novel format, and I've never read it, and might never do so if it doesn't at least get put on Steam so I don't have to bother with a bunch of patches and settings in order to read it. But every adaptation I've seen has been dull. I like the concept, and all the characters seem fun, but I think the issue lies with how ufotable handles most of their works.

I feel the way in which UBW is told is very dense and dry. Every episode felt like constant exposition dumps, and the action sequences, while gorgeous, didn't really mesh with the way it decided to tell it's story. It was hard to pay attention most episodes because it all felt so disconnected. I probably shouldn't have ranked it this high...

Another hot take: The character art is bad. It looks way too glossy and it doesn't do the show's aniation justice. But I've had enough railing on this popular franchise. Fate/Zero was solid, I guess, but nobody nominated that.
