OTAKU CLUB: Fate/ kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!: Hoping For Another Season

Hey guys, its me again. (Well this should have been up yesterday but I kind of overslept so...)

At last, we reach the last season (up to now at least) of the anime and I have to tell you, it was awesome as hell. Now without further ado, let's get started.

This is way better than searching for a title on the net. Phew.

THE OPENING SONG

I had to go all caps on that. Hands down Drei has the best opening song out of all four seasons of the anime. First time I heard it I was entranced already. I mean that's just cheating. You can't make the song as good as that. Damn it. Definitely going to find that song somewhere.

"Plot" of the season... Hehe...

P/S: Even if you didn't watch the anime, I'd still recommend it to you guys. Its nice.

Now on to the plot (and I mean literal plot)

Plot Heavy

Contrary to the previous season (Zwei Herz), Drei has a lot of plot points and revelations and full of those dramatic stuff you kind of always see in the Fate series and boy, how I love those.

The anime starts to reveal the origins of the problems in the world of Fate/ kaleid liner and its relation to the truth about Miyu (which I'm sure everyone is wondering about anyways)

Yes. Its about time this shit get parodied in.

Even so, the anime still makes an awful lot of jokes here and there even in the midst of a serious scene or situation and finds quite a perfect balance between comedy and drama with piping hot action sandwiched in between them.

You can guess why he has this obsession over mapo...

Sticks and Swords

When I say sticks and swords I mean STICKS AND SWORDS ladies and gentlemen. This season is so full of action, it makes you wonder why it wasn't like this from the very beginning of the anime (I know, I know. Its a magical girl anime and its not supposed to have these kinds of things but I'm a boy, what can I do.).

So cute. You can't even see the Gil inside. Hehe.

Oh and CHAINS. This season, Gilgamesh-kun returns and you get to see his cute little face cajoling here and there kicking ass and taking Noble Phantasms (and getting beat in the ass for comedy purposes as well). Gil fights A LOT in this anime and even as a kid his ego is still as big as his treasure room so look forward to that. CHAINS.

Oh wait, you can...

Now for some of you who, say... played FGO (a Fate mobile game) or accidentally saw people comparing the anime action scenes with the manga action scenes, I'll just call them idealists.

I can point out a few dozen anime that have worse adaptations than their manga counterparts (not just their art, sometimes their story line, their character representations etc etc) but that would be a waste of my blog post. The studio did their best in animating the action scenes and I appreciate it all the same.

Do you really think so? Look at Illya's face. Even she doesn't quite believe it.

Sure, you can say they prioritize fan service scenes more than those action scenes but in Drei, you can practically count those scenes with your fingers. This season is definitely the one with least fan service scenes (in my opinion at least) and even if they do prioritize those fan service scenes, its because those things bring in money.

And you can take an Excalibur to your face for all I care

If they prioritized the action scenes and they still screwed up (albeit one small frame of animation) those pieces of trash would still complain about it anyways. Come on. They're not Ufotable. Tch.

A Friendly Warning

Okay. Before anything, I'd like to say I have a bad feeling, I guess? All the other seasons had a "next season confirmed" announcement at the end of the last episode (or maybe not. I dunno. I'm stupid, can you blame me for that?).

Do you know how a good villain feels like? It feels like this little bitch.

I really hope that they continue animating this anime because the last episode for Fate/ kaleid liner was such a cliffhanger that it kind of made me want to get hyped if the next season was confirmed (Like I said earlier in my reviews, I was doing this out of curiosity. Now I am definitely hooked). I really hope they do.

Or this little bitch...

If any of you reading this knows that the anime is confirmed to have a fifth season, do tell me.

And if this isn't a villain, I don't know what is...

I'll Miss This

In any case, this is kind of the end for this string of reviews on the Fate/ kaleid liner Prisma Illya and I hope those who haven't watched the anime yet to at least give it a try (or at least read my reviews on it). God I'll really miss this one if it doesn't get another season. Sigh.
