I completely agree with Zahadrin.

Fate/Apocrypha has the potential of being the best story in the franchise - at least based on what I read of the novel until now. But its adaptation is maybe the worst Fate anime ever. They are cutting out a great deal of dialogues, belittling every single character. Zahadrin spoke about Spartacus, I will point to Chiron and his wish for the Grail: in this anime it seems he simply wants to be immortal while his reasons, selfish as they may be nevertheless, are more deep than that.

But the anime cut it out. Not only this, but also they changed part of the story so that now some of the characters seems completely dumb: I'm talking about Siegfrid and Darnic. In the novel Siegfried NEVER told his name to Karna, and he did not wanted to use his NP against Achilles because he was not sure it would have worked, and he did not want to disclose his name. And that's also the reason Darnic had Gordes stop him with a second CS. Here... Siegrfied had no reason at all to not use his NP, and Darnic had no reason at all to make Gordes waste a CS. They just seem two big dumb fu***rs.

Also, Fate/Apocrypha animations and OST does not hold a candle against Fate/Zero's or UBW's... and I think the animations of the fight between Siegfried and Karna was even worst than the first F/SN anime.

Fate/Apocrypha the best anime of the franchise? More likely the biggest wasted opportunity
