Review of Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia

Got around to finally watching and surprisingly completing it quickly, quite the bingeable show it was. Now, anime-only might've been confused in the start with the whole "Grand Order", for that my best advice for you is to start the game - Fate/Grand Order, it's available on both Android and iOS It was one big intense adventure from the start to finish, it was odd seeing it all animated but they did a good job with it though missing and somewhat changing some details but overall it remained true to the events in the game to my understanding. It was fun seeing all the characters interact with actualvoices accompanied by lovely OSTs. As for the battles, it was a treat to see all the fights not having to worry about team compositions, supports and whatnot. Just sat back and watched the mayhem ensue and speaking of which, this adaptation of Fate really showed how powerful Servants are. Plus the CGI for the show wasn't half bad. they did a well enough job considering how CGI usually rolls in anime.

About the story itself, going through it again made me realize why it isn't the best Singularity then it comes to that aspect. The stakes are higher and the battles are as flashy as ever but the first half of the Singularity - mostly the Goddess retrieval Arc you could say had a recurring element and somewhat luck or simply plot armour to it. However the final part was a thrill ride through and through with surprises every turn it took.

Finally, let's not forget the best thing about the show - Gilgamesh or more accurately Caster Gil. I don't like Gil's character from the previous adaptations but FGO Gil? Now he was a breath of fresh air. Seeing him align with the good side (though he isn't exactly evil to begin with) was a new and enjoyable side of him. Well you can make the argument those are two different versions but whatever the case, the Wise King of Uruk definitely outdoes the Tyrannical King of Uruk for me. Still it was fun seeing him boss people around, well he was a King. Definitely Best Boy material right there.

The journey doesn't end there, next up Fate/Grand Order - Endgame (Final Singularity)
