Fate/Apocrypha 2
Well at least the show is putting all of its cards on the table with its trashiness. In this episode we meet a lot of the rest of the cast. In this episode alone we had.
- Frankenstein. Not the doctor, the monster. Who in a show about revealing your true name is hilarious they opted to have her as a servant when the creature was always called Frankenstein's Monster. You read that right, Frankenstein is a she in this show. Not Frankenstein's bride either. This puts a whole new twist in the classical tale as now it's certain that Victor Frankenstein wanted to create the ultimate waifu in his mad quest for knowledge. And she grunts and makes pouty faces.
- A lady licking her servant's abs in a psycho sexual killer fashion, because what anime wouldn't be complete without the horni yuri psycho.
- A loli murdering servant who I couldn't tell if she was supposed to be Jack the Ripper, liberties to have waifus for everybody is something I should have expected from Fate.
- Red Saber going from her full knight outfit to a battle leather strap bra. And then because she wanted modern clothing, she went to a modern anime t shirt bra complete with a red jacket and daisy dukes. A buttshot and everything. But it's ok, she is a tomboy and a badass.
I had my hopes higher than I expected for this, the first episode and key visuals made it seem maybe it'd be closer to Fate Zero in it being not as trashy as Fate Stay Night. But I was gravely mistaken. At least it doesn't have awkward harem comedy hijinks so it's still better than that, but not by much I guess.
This will likely be one of those shows I recommend to my friends with a "watch it for the action, and despite the fanservice it was worth a shot".
edit: wait Astolfo is supposed to be a boy? Once again, fooled by anime attire and VAs.
