this is definitely a new side to things, considering what I have seen in Fate/Stay Night and the first season of Fate/Zero. Six episodes in and I am stuck to this series more than I have ever been. It's brilliant. I have read a few reviews on the actual visual novel (regrettably I have not played the game) and it sounds hectic but in a good way. The last thing i expected out of this season was a peek into kiritsugu's life, who I have to say - is a mess of a man but good for this anime i suppose. the story line is dense and leaves everything to the imagination - you don't have to wonder much about what happens in the story just put two and two together and you get more than you expect. I really love this anime and I am looking forward to bigger and better seasons of this.
