It's start is rough, I will fully admit that. And it's not likely to appeal to people who aren't already deep into Fate/ via at least watching the UFOtables Animes. It even helps to be familiar with other Nasuverse works, like Tsukihime (who's Anime adaptation isn't great, but more enjoyable then Deen/Stay Night) and Kara no Kyoukai which also has a great UFOtable Anime.
A lot of what happens in the early episodes will hopefully be easier to follow once it's Dubbed.
But it really picks up with episode 8, I'm writing this after just finishing episode 11 and it's getting really good.
I like that there is no clear main character, and that it's not easy to pick a side in this war. At the moment I feel more invested in the Black team, which is interesting given how at the start it seemed like they were setting them up to be the villains.
Astolfo and Jeanne are the best characters so far. Astolfo is the number one Trap. And I seem to love every Anime take on Jeanne d'Arc.
Spoiler Warning.
People who only know Fate/ Lore via what's been explained in Anime so far, may be confused by the development with Vlad at the end of Episode 11.
In one of OtakuDaiKun's live streams that I watched part of (I think it was the first Melty Blood one). He discussed how to the Throne of Heroes the legends are just as important as facts.
So Vlad Dracula wasn't actually a Vampire (Vampires do exist in the Nasuverse, Tsukihime gets into that). But the Legend of him being one, caused mainly by Bram Stoker's Novel, is still also engraved in the Throne of Heroes. So clearly he has a Vampiric Noble Phantasm, but really does not want to use it.
So this development has me pretty excited to see where things go moving forward.
