Synopsis:

In a near-future metropolis grappling with technological overreach and societal disparity, a young woman named Hana navigates a world increasingly reliant on advanced artificial intelligence. She works as a data archivist, sifting through the digital remnants of a rapidly changing society. When she stumbles upon fragmented memories hinting at a forgotten past and hidden power structures, Hana becomes entangled in a clandestine network investigating anomalies within the AI systems that govern daily life.

The narrative explores themes of memory, identity, and the ethical implications of unchecked technological advancement. It presents a contemplative atmosphere, focusing on character-driven interactions as Hana uncovers unsettling truths. The story unfolds with a deliberate pace, prioritizing emotional resonance over high-octane action, inviting viewers to consider the complex relationship between humanity and its creations within an evolving world.

    Story x Character: 9 It's a mess but I dont give a damn honestly. From Nero, to CU CHULLAIN GA SHINDA, to Orion getting sniped, its really fun seeing how the Servants would act if the story was a Comedy (since yknow Grail War) Art: 9 Seeing Servants drawn/animated in the Anime's art compared to their versions in the Game is kind of refreshing and fun to see Sound: 8 Super Affection OP? With Grand Order Seiyuus? Straight 8Enjoyment: 9nAny Adaptation of FGO is such a blast to watch(or Read)nnOverall: 8nEven though FGO is one of my fav mobile games, I cant let Bias get in the way of judgingnWould have loved to see like 12-24 episodes of FGC honestly, but hey this is still very much fine, just gonna wait another 10 years I suppose

    Alarm bells rung loud and clear within seconds of the OP starting. A bad cover of the original season a decade previous complete with animation made to resemble, but fail to recapture the magic of, that fun little romp. Unfunny, thoroughly uncharming and a chore to suffer through even at it's short run time. A pale imitation of carnival phantasm at best and a damning indictment of the state of type-moon as a company/franchise in recent years at worst. the animation is passable. that is the only redeeming thing i can say for it. go play melty blood instead of this.
