So I watched Fate: Lord El Melloi II Case Files

Based on the Novel by Kinoko Nasu comes the Anime Adaption:


It follows the story of Waver Velvet from Fate Zero (you need to watch that first) as he takes the mantle of Kayneth from Fate Zero, the master of Lancer, as Lord El Melloi II
He teaches Magecraft, Unravels Mystics, Figures out Dubious Cases using excellent detective work whilst taking Magecraft into consideration.

So before anything else, Ill drop the Rating: 4.5/5

Artistic: Quite, its Stylistic. It captures the flair of Magic in the Type Moon world spectacularly. Everything from Magecraft Rituals to Terminology. Subjects, Fields, Characters, Ranks, Hierarchy and even the Underbelly. Like for Instance Rail Zeppelin.
Type Moon has alot to do with Mystic Eyes.
There is Tsukihime and Kara no Kyoukai where we discuss Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. In the Fate Series there are Mystic Eyes of Petrification as well.
They are an oddity that aren't thoroughly explored. This anime brings immense light to that.
While it is character driven narrative with developing stakes and personas.
One can watch it as a Documentary of the World of Type Moon as the Lord of Modern Magecraft Theory: Lord El Melloi II explains the world as we explore it through him. While also hammering out character motivations and complications.

Plus there is another Arturia Character:
Lady Gray, Who is the Protag of the story as well. So Definitely a Thumbs up

Recommended: Eh, I suppose. But its limited. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, as I would first ask them to watch Fate Zero, and before Fate Zero I would tell them to Watch Fate Unlimited Blade Works.
Basically this anime caters to Type Moon Fans rather than newcomers and those going in blind. You can be spoiled and you will be left confused with whats happening as well.
It has cameos to a ton of characters from the Fate Verse:
Olga Marie = Fate Grand Order
Shishigou = Fate Apocrypha
Caules = Fate Apocrypha
Luvia Engelfelt = Fate Unlimited Blade Works
Iskander = Fate Zero
Kayneth = Fate Zero
Waver Velvet = Fate Zero

So do i recommend it? Yes BUT Only because this is a deep dive into the World of Type Moon. If you are curious about what the Type Moon world is like, go ahead and watch it to sate your curiosity. But if you go in expecting to be blown away, well if you are a Type Moon fan already then yes. If you have no idea then no, dont expect much.

Re-Watching: If you ask me, Yes I can see myself rewatching this. Noticing the clues and the tiny little details in Hindsight is its own Entertainment. So Yes, I would love to see Waver expertly solve everything again and see Gray Tan at it again with her Super Weapon.
Plus its always great to get a taste of the Type Moon World. It's amazing.


Perfect: Honestly I can't say. It has certainly made an impression, but placing it among the ranks of other Perfect Works wouldn't be fair. Like this isn't the level of something like Fate Zero with its deep Philosophical Girth. Nor is it comparable to the High action and energy of Kuroko no Basket. You certainly can't think of it as a Piece of Perfection, but it is definitely up there. I cannot see any better way to delve into the World of Type Moon.

Conclusion: 4.5/5 -> A 9/10 if you may It is certainly Amazing and has merit, However it isn't that amazing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the 5/5 Class. Even though it is definitely head and shoulders above the 4/5 Class.
