Hmm interesting take on the episode, although I don't mind the Jeanne x Sieg moments as I think they really needed some development together. I don't honestly mind it per say but it could have been much better in this regard.

Though I feel like this got rather draggy a bit, however I'm excited for the later episodes and what will happen.

Cmon A-1, you had all these episodes up until now. Stop focusing on Sieg x Ruler so much because you're leaving the other interesting characters out to dry. Not saying this show is bad, far from it actually, but there has just been so many missed opportunities to take this a step further like what Ufotable has been doing with Fate


It's not a problem with the studio (although A-1 has done a poor job in adapting certain chapters until now), it's the source material that is what it is. It is considered the weakest Fate for a reason (even tho it's hated far more than it should imho)




Weakest fate ?! It is better than Fate/stary night UBW from ufotable in my opinion

Can A-1 start the episode with a flashback of Reikas backstory because her death didn't have enough of that emotional punch... and they kinda left that part out too.


What was her backstory ?

Weakest, yes.
The LN for me it's a honest 7/10, which is completely fine by itself, it's just that other Fate series are at least 8.5/10. It doesn't make Apocrypha bad, just not as good as the others, even if many other people are far more severe than me in judging it.
But I'm talking about the LN here, so when I say weakest I'm referring to the original source material (you can't bring the UBW anime here, the right comparison would be the whole Ftae/stay night VN).

The anime is not well made, sadly. And I've tried to defend it many times, but A-1 is not helping me at all by continously butchering scenes and cutting out backstories. And they had the chance to correct some mistakes from the LN too, but apparently they don't intend to.

It was basically a freakin date. They just pushin the ship in that first half (I also ship Sieg with Rider, I know they both dudes but I feel like Rider would be on board with that), not that I mind or anything, was actually kind of nice aside from Sieg being so... for lack of a better term, depressing. Like, he isn't a fun person to listen too at all aside from that bit at the pub. But hey, AT LEAST THEY ABOUT TO KILL ASSASSIN... She better die next episode... please let her die next episode...

Although a good episode, it felt a bit weak at times. Still, it was pretty nice to see Sieg and Jeanne having a good discussion while out on their "date". Jeanne's blushes were cute too. =)

Assassin's master is now out for the count, in which I'm glad. However, she used her last two command spells on Jack, so it'll be interesting to see what she'll do next week.

But what exactly did she do with her two remaining command spells at the end?

Sieg & Ruler (was Jeanne this stupid?) are the worst part of the show for me. well, Atalanta, too. the second part of the episode was ok, I may have shed a tear when Reika died. they're killing off the most interesting characters first :\

Overall, I enjoyed the story, etc. Still, I think it's not at Fate Zero or Fate Stay Night level. And I think every characters in this anime, died too easily, especially the Master/Mage. I think more fight scene or action will be good for Fate Apocrypha...

I think she pretty much turned her into an almost unstoppable raging killing machine.

I think the series is slowly improving, the recent two episodes (16, 17) have been pretty good so far. The second half of this series already feels a lot better than the first half.

I have heard the LN readers were irritated by the
Whether the series is exactly following the LN or skipping a lot of the lovey-dovey bits, so far it's tolerable.

The slice of life moments in this episode didn't feel too long, so I'll accept it for now.

Also, another recap episode on November 18th!!!! Please use the money to at least improve the actual episodes, A-1!

Those damn heroes, now they gang up on Loli! Curse them! Curse them!

PS: the entire first half of the episode was such a waste... fan service date aside, I really hope that this series won't be touching Shiro's motivations and dreams any more because his character concept is simply terrible writing to begin with so any scene with him is automatically bad

But at the very least the ending got me a little hyped, not for the future of the series but seeing the Jack's the ripper noble phantasm being so damn original and so damn fitting to her was a nice treat. I was always fan of reality marble and this one is high up there.

It's nicer when there's less fights. Sieg Ruler date & Trifas beautiful tourism was good, showed similarities of Ruler vs Shiro, and actually ask the needed question of why she picked sides, uncertainty how maybe Shiro's right.
That little Achilles & Assassin part was cute.
Jack seems super weak now, compared to others who fought Jeanne.
Lol Vlad, & nice music.

Jeanne x Sieg aside, we got Semiramis x Shirou.

Jack's master just a fifth rate killer with a third rate gun.

God damnit, Atalanta! Shoot them once or twice and then just assume they are dead and waltz in with your guard down? You did the exact same thing with Spartacus in the first half! When will you ever learn?

Never assume someone is dead just because they go down. Shoot them another 5-10 times for good measure. It's not like you're low on arrows. (At least we've never seen an Archer Servant worry about conserving arrows.)

Pretty fun one, Atalante is awesome
- Sieg and Ruler are so cute together lol
- bystanders think they’re talking about sex haha
- Jack the ripper’s master shot Sieg 3 times but he lived? Wow
- Great job from Atalante as per usual, taking out Jack the Ripper’s master
- Using command seals to let someone live without a master seams like an asspull….
- Looks like Sieg and Jack are about to fight
