  • The list of anime I’m watching this season is shrinking every week it seems. Acrotrip has gotten pretty stale for me and watching it feels a bit like a chore, so I’ve dropped it. 365 Days Till The Wedding has had another frustrating episode last week as well. I’m not dropping it yet, but I’m not enjoying it as much anymore unfortunately.

    Thankfully, Dandadan is still strong and NegaPosi Angler has been rising the ranks for me. Also still really enjoying 2.5D Seduction, so it’s not all bad this season.

    Still need to give Orb a chance…





  • Honestly, people make it out to be harder than it is. There are 3 mainline routes: Fate (the Deen anime), Unlimited Bladeworks and Heaven’s Feel (both ufotable). These are the ones that actually matter.

    Regarding the order:

    1. Fate route. The Deen one. Bit harder to watch due to animation quality, but still a good time imo. Could arguably be skipped too, as it’s not particularly faithful, but I’d still recommend it.
    2. Unlimited Bladeworks (ufotable). Can’t hurt to be at 1 either, but better to get the worst one out of the way.
    3. Heaven’s Feel (also ufotable). Absolutely has to be the last.

    That’s it.

    Zero is generally recommended as well, because it’s a really really good prequel. It can be watched before or after those 3, depending on who you ask (I watched it before and think I prefer it this way, but eh, opinions differ). 1st episode is very exposition heavy, but after that it’s a great time.

    All the other stuff is all based on the concept of these three routes, but aren’t directly related. You can not watch it, and not miss anything. If you do want to watch the others, you do need the basis of the 3 routes, but they’re all standalone from each other.

    Most of the discussion is just opinion and centred around Zero and the Deen adaptation for a multitude of reasons, but its basis is not at all difficult or messy.
