Fate/Zero TV #005: Magical Mexican Standoff

4 Comments

Well if Iskander did not win over enough fanboys via his actions in the previous episodes than he pretty much conquered his position as King of Bros in the hearts of many this episode. But I would not be surprised if Berserker did not win his fair share of fans this episode as well.  While this episode has the prerequisite Type-Moon levels of dialog the amount of fighting was on par with the last episode with possible even more flashy moves than before. So anyone who was worried we were going straight back into yackity smackity can rest easy for at least one more episode. The action in this episode will calm the need of even the most adrenalin craving soul.

NY Comic Con & Anime Festival 2011: Screenings

This year had a good deal of exclusive content just like the years before. I hardly saw all of it but I was glad to get a sneak peek at somethings I was really interested in.

It is of course interrupted by periods of characters on the side lines discussing the fight, characters in the fight discussing their techniques, characters in the fight analyzing their opponent’s style, and people discussing what everything means all around. But such is any Type-Moon property. Even the mute True Assassin goes into long monologues in his head in the original Fate/Stay Night so character who can talk are going to be pretty darn chatty. Even when Nasu does not write something his love of characters chatting about things bleeds though into everything in the Fate universe. Heck even Fate/Tiger Coliseum is pretty chatty when you get right down to it.
