Hello everyone,
This evening we'll talk about the sixth episode of the much anticipated action anime series named Fate/Zero that is starting to flesh out the plot and the interactions between the many characters of this production.
I'm amused by the fact that this series continues to keep a slow pace till now with big moments of peace in the middle of the conflict, free enough for Iris and Saber to play around with a car or for Gilgamesh to drink wine with Kotomine Kirei.
I'm also a bit irritated by the tremendous amount of CG used for this production, it really stand out and looks weird in my opinion. Especially the car scene with Iris/Saber.
This episode start with Caster confronting Saber and asking her to return to him as he will save her from God. He is confusing Saber for Jeanne d'arc, a famous French hero, and the whole scene makes definitely clear that we may have two different "berserker" around this time.
Especially if you consider that the "mad enhancement" that is the main power of the berserker class (Lose his mind, but gain tremendous power) is really adapt to Caster crazy condition.
With this said, Caster seems like will be the first one to go down, because the priest overseeing the event decided that they're too dangerous to be left alone wreaking havoc in the city.
From the looks of it, all the other masters will group up to kill both Caster and his master before going back to kill between themselves.
On the other side we have Kiritsugu facing Lancer using his reknowned "dirty ways" by making the entire palace where Lancer and his master were living explode like in a B class american movie.
I'm completely sure that both Lancer and his master are still safe and sound though, because its really too soon to kill them off without giving at least a chance for another battle between Lancer and Saber.
We also get to know that Kotomine Kirei is as powerful as ever with him fighting one vs one against Kiritsugu's assistant and defeating her with ease.
Oh, Iris you're so wonderful with that crazy driving and ojou-sama way of talking! She was referring to the car as a "toy" and that makes really clear how rich the Einzbern family is.
Saber was really concerned for the whole duration of the drive, showing a really different face from what we're used to see when she's serious.
I really love the combination they make and all the comedy and cute moments that we get as soon as the two are together.
Concluding, I'm extremely positive on the outlook on this series and I'm eagerly waiting to watch/blog the next episode. This is definitely a series that can become a classic if correctly executed...
I only wonder till which chapter they'll adapt in this first season...
See you soon,
