Expectations have not been fulfilled.
Between lackluster King Hassan scenes, anime-only additions, and generally poor quality outside of Noble Phantasms, I’m frankly disappointed.

Everyone gets to die!
And it’s entirely a good thing in the confines of FGO because how many times has Arash died for you?

Things are finally exciting.
Took a while for the exciting stuff to finally start and now is the time for when the despair meter reaches the end of its gauge as Quetz’s attack, while massive, doesn’t do enough to stop Tiamat’s advance.

I decided to bundle two episodes again since Episode 8 was just Ushi getting a ton of money thrown at her animations to be really cool.

You can make a point about how dying so easily adds to Gorgon’s power but Leonidas definitely came out a champion in the anime.
