I finished watching Fate/stay night (the new one) the other day, and Unlimited Budget Works is apt. I knew of the Fate franchise before this, but it was just through cultural osmosis from the rest of the anime scene. Gotta say, though the budget obviously led to some really gorgeous visuals, the actual fight choreography was... I dunno, lacking in some areas? I guess stuff like Avatar has spoiled me in that respect. None of it was actually bad mind you, it's that it was only above average when the visuals were so damn smooth and gorgeously animated.

Really liked it overall, but I may have to watch it again in a few weeks 'cause I kind of binged it when I should have been doing homework so it kind of takes some of the luster off. Maybe I'll revise my opinion some then.

Edit: Also, I've started in on Symphogear and the mood whiplash is real. It's like, slice of life shit one minute and girls bleeding from their eyeballs the next.
