Hey, I wasn't pushing for more episodes or a second season or anything. I understand that they have to work under a budget. And like I said, I don't think any other studio could've changed what people thought of it aside from probably making the fights look prettier.

But yes. Perhaps saying that they didn't care is too strong. The anime does have its cool moments like Mordred and Achilles. It also beats out Last Encore in terms of its pilot episode as well from my perspective.

However, while good picture does not always mean good storytelling, anime is still a visual medium. Say the last few fights were as well-animated as the Saber vs. Saber or the first Karna vs. Siegfried and I wouldn't be complaining about animation. Consistency. Even if we disregard Ufo for a while, their own First Order OVA had more consistent animation than their entire Apoc adaptation.

Also, admittedly I didn't exactly go into Apocrypha for the story. I mean, it's a Grail War. Servant vs. Servant, Master vs. Master--it's a tale we've already seen before. But it did promise spectacle in the form of seven vs. seven and so I went in for that and unfortunately, it failed to deliver on that end for the reasons mentioned earlier. I don't mind if they opted to focus on the action but the action sequence itself wasn't too great either.

As for Sieg well, he's bland. And yes, I understand all the reasons why he is bland. Doesn't mean I can get myself to like him. It's like Seed Destiny's Kira Yamato. All the reasons are given why he's this and that but at the end of the day, he's just not likeable. I don't hate him to the point that I have to burn him to prove it though. This is still a game. I'll use whoever I can use in my roster. But I can't ponder over possibilities like "what if he has this route or that route." I can't make a judgement on that. I can only work with what I've been shown (both in anime and novel) and deduce from there. And ultimately, it didn't appeal to me. That's all there is to it.
