![]() ![]() ![]() They had a whole system set up and have done this for some time already by the looks of it. I’ve only heard reports from sources but seeing them soar through the air like trained military surprised me. They were distracted for a moment before three figures came soaring through the air using 3D gear knocking the crates over before a couple more people ran away from the scene holding whatever was inside the crates. Only difference was the tall stack of crates in the middle of the road and the merchants attempting to move them. Once we make it out of the dark alleyway we come to another dirt road with more run down and crumbling buildings. But overall, this season just felt like the worst of Urobuchi’s Fate/Zero writing instincts came back with a vengeance, and the many delightfully weird directions this season ends up going in aren’t enough to salvage a score above 5/10. And that’s, like, 80% of what makes Thunderbolt Fantasy great in the first place! That’s where the craft of this series comes through and shows why it was worth watching in the first place!

I can barely remember a single dismembered limb or bisected body being tossed through the air in an explosion of blood that paints the dirt a deep crimson. ![]() Not only are there fewer fights overall- most of them jammed into an action-heavy opening stretch, which makes the pacing even more lopsided- but it feels like those fights have been neutered. ![]() And if that wasn’t bad enough, the action- you know, the highlight of this series, what makes it worth sitting through the slower parts to get to- is just so much weaker than usual.
