In 2010, Romani Archaman finds himself stationed at Chaldea, where he assumes the role of medical caretaker for Mash Kyrielight.

This burgeoning optimism forms the core of a narrative centered on an ordinary individual unexpectedly drawn into extraordinary circumstances.

    Minor spoilers First of all I have to start with saying that this anime isn't for everyone. This is the episode 0 of the upcomming Fate/GO babylonia arc which is the seventh singularity in the Fate/GO mobile game. This episode is aimed at the Fate fans who have been waiting patiently for there to be a real anime adoptation of the fate/go series and from what i saw in this teaser, my expectation went even higher. The episode is mainly a prequel to the Fate/GO movie and shows the story of Dr. Roman as he was taking care of Mash during her earlier years. The episode ispacked with easter eggs from the game, things such as evo items etc. nnWe also get to see a complation of the previous singularites which was a real treat for me as a Fate/GO fan, and i can't wait until the next episode releases in October

    GOD DAMN YOU TAKEUCHI .... Is all I have to say for this. The Saberface issue aside, I'm glad the money I spent on FGO wasn't all in vain. Now, before you go IDK WTF IS GOING ON HERE??!! WHAT IS THIS CRAP??!! This isn't meant for all viewers. Mainly those who do not play FGO. So, if you want to watch and understand it because you're a big Fate fan, or was attracted by the beautiful animation, then be prepared to read through 6 chapters of content which would probably take hours to complete (and frustration too. *cries in Camelot). OK, now for the review. (Contains major FGOspoilers)n10/10 really. Finally get to see what Marisbury looks like and boy does he look like another friggin' Saberface (again, damn you Takeuchi). Dr. Roman's scenes really made me cry. And the scene where Marisbury asked Caster about his wish really hit me deep.nnAll in all, it was a really great prequel and recap. Especially the beginning part where Mash was fused with Galahad. Have really high expectations for the actual anime.nnAlso, good luck on your summer rolls fellow FGO players.

    Paradon my bad english but if you still want to do it go ahead First of all I need to tell I'm not a big fan of Fate Stay Night , but for FGO I played it since pre-registered and in the same day I start watching Zero, UBW I don't really care minor details of story much but there a lot of plot hole in game story like Protagonist motivation, organization, Random heroine that eventually like you, and why servant system? (in logical not to sell waifus) Except all of above game's story is decent but not that good (untill Camelot, Babylonia I can see thatwhy they choose these two to be anime)neveryone hope always want favorite game, waifus to be animated (but didn't know that gonna good or not) nand First Order anime really show me the truth that no hope for this gamennbut man this one is different I can feels it the story telling is well made It's like a movie style the dialouge is very depth and smart thus they filling a plot hole by telling a Roman, Mashu story nThere are a motivation in Chaldea Organization, how it build and roman secret movitaion, why mashu respect other human, why she's so innocent, why use servant system they're all explain in here and they did very wellnI'm start to have hope in FGO agian
