Fate/Zero 7

For this episode, it introduces the relationship and support one party has for the other.  For example, the relationship Rider and his master shares is that of trust and promise; Kiritsugu and Irisviel, on the other hand, share a rapport which we would like to call commitment to one's duty; Tokiomi and the head of the church share a relationship that clearly shows the urge to win by using all means necessary.  The first half practically talked about that.  The second half was instigated by the intrusion of the Servant Caster into Saber's territory and from this scene, we could see the fatality of the previous fights with Lancer.  I like the fact that the creators did not simply create a miracle where Saber could defeat Caster when inflicted with a curse.  This gave the show a bit more realism.

While Saber was fighting against Caster, her master was fighting against someone who should have been dead but isn't.  This was quite a good contrast as it shows how Servants' battles differed from Masters' battles.  Overall, this episode was quite entertaining and at the some time, built up on what we could expect to see from each Servant and Master.

A Small Update

Hi, it has been quite some time since I last posted something and have stopped with my reviews of the animes.  Personally, I am addicted to this game called Elsword and hardly had time to update this blog.  So, to compensate for that, I will try to put up the reviews as soon as possible.  I am planning on dropping Nurarihyon though since it doesn't interest me anymore.  That being said, I will try and look through the new animes that are coming up and if I find any of them intriguing, do expect a review or two in the upcoming posts.

On a side note, I took a quick glance at the Yu-Gi-Oh! website and discovered that the Gold Series 2012 seriously packs a lot of punches!  This box contains all the cards that were sorely missed by the players and it's about time Konami actually takes some actions and release something viable once in a while.  The reason for releasing such a darn good set suddenly?  I think it's because Konami is frantically trying to gain back the acceptance of their fans and supporters, something which Konami has lost vehemently over the past few years.  However, I am dubious to how far Konami is willing to gain back the fan's acceptance.  As the adage goes, Rome was not built overnight.  If they really want to gain back the support, they must first realise their mistakes and ban all those cards that are currently distorting the meta and release more balanced cards in the future so that players can actually play using their own skills.  I mean, come on, look at the current winning list.  It's basically dominated by Angels, Tour Guides, Inzecter and Rabbits (I must admit Inzecter gave me quite a surprise there).  If they don't do something about this, I am afraid more people will be leaving the Yu-Gi-Oh! society.

So, do look forward to tomorrow for the first Fate/Zero's post after a long time.  It's episode 7 tomorrow, followed by 8,9 and 10.  I guess I have said what there is to be said.  Well then, take care. ^^
