In conclusion, FGO:Babylonia is a criminally slept on anime that if it had been made by Ufotable, would have seen insane levels of popularity. Other technical notes include amazing sound design, gorgeous background art, consistent character models and an amazing OST. There are several contenders for fight of the year within the show and CW can’t be commended enough for their work here. In fact, many battles in the anime rival the popular “unlimited budget works” of Ufotable. In addition to superb writing, characterisation and world-building, Cloverworks have put together some of the best animation of the decade. This could be intentional, could also be a result of having 21 episodes instead of 24. There were some powerful moments from the game that did not make it into the anime. The only negative comment I’ll make on pacing is that episodes 19-20 feel a bit on the rushed side. If there’s not a battle going on, there’s a slice of life moment that really adds to the characters and gives them characterisation. FGO’s story is told in VN narrative, yet Cloverworks were able to masterfully recreate and expand upon powerful scenes we’ve come to know and love from the game. Both of these will give much needed context for newcomers and enable you to get the full experience.įor a video game to anime transition one of the most important things is how a studio can bring to life talking heads on a screen while remaining faithful to the game’s story and tone. You will need to have watched Fate/Grand Order: First Order OVA which will act as a prequel of sorts to the entire game, as well as FGO Babylonia episode 0. until Camelot, the 6th singularity, which will be receiving a series of films this year, the story doesn’t really hold much weight anyway. The singularities are pretty self-contained and To calm any concerns, Babylonia tells the story of the 7th Fate/Grand Order singularity and is able to be watched and enjoyed without having seen or played the previous ones. Unfortunately, due to fears about the complexities of the Fate series, many people did not get to experience this gem. This isn’t just my Type-Moon bias talking. Simply put, it’s one of the best game-anime adaptations I’ve ever seen. FGO: Babylonia successfully captures the magic of the game and expands upon it in a magnificent way offering an enjoyable experience for both newcomers and gacha heads.
