However, since this series was very short, it did not leave much time nor leave much space for the characters to develop, only leap across points. Only 4 servants appear, along with the mysterious student Zecchan and instructor Irisviel von Einzbern, but each of them were well crafted, having their own quips and contributions to the serious-humor of this special. Although similar in look to the characters we know from the main series, they also had to be altered a bit to fit in the more light-hearted and comedic style special. The characters for this part were a little bit tricky. The sound quality gets a 10 The high quality of the effects, the excellent performance of the Seiyuus and the inclusion and good timing of the main series's OST made the sound a very strong pillar of quality in this special. It was a pleasant surprise as you might imagine, and the inclusion of some of the OST of Fate/Zero added that right atmosphere at the right times, and the general sound effects were high quality. The sound design and soundtrack (the little that is used) is of equal quality to the main series, which was a surprise to me. Overall, the art gets a 9 in my book Keeping, for the most part, the high-quality character designs and backgrounds from the main series while sneaking in minor changes to fit the lighter tones of the special gives it high marks, but the directing style is a little lackluster.
However, this less photo-realistic style suits this special quite well by having the familiarity of the main series while adapting a chibi-style for educational parts and allowing comedic expressions and elements while keeping that beautiful ufotable style. The art is fairly similar to the main series, but lower quality animation for the most part. Overall, the story getsĪ 6 On its own it would leave much to be desired, but it fulfills its roll adequately, and giving the viewer a bit more than they would expect. However, it was designed simply enough to be enjoyable so the viewer can enjoy the comedy while not being too lost in the hints towards the 'plot' of the specials, the over-arcing story of the main series, and the series that Fate/Zero Prequels, Fate/Stay Night. The story to these 6 specials is very simple, and is not the main focus to these more lightly-toned, comedic and 'educational' episodes. The Fate/Zero Counsel Specials are something that are to be watched after finishing the entirety of Fate/Zero, doing so otherwise may bring about confusion or spoil events to come.
