In 2015, the Chaldea Security Organization draws on experts of both the magical and mundane fields to observe the future of mankind for possible extinction events. Humanity's survival seems assured for the next century - until the verdict suddenly changes, and now eradication of the species awaits at the end of 2016. The cause is unknown, but appears to be linked with the Japanese town of Fuyuki and the events of 2004 during the Fifth Holy Grail War. In response, Chaldea harnesses an experimental means of time travel, the Rayshift technology. With it, Ritsuka Fujimaru, a young man newly recruited to the organization, and the mysterious girl Mash Kyrielight, can travel back to 2004 and discover how to save humanity. A grand order to fight fate has been declared - an order to change the past and restore the future. (Aniplex)

I am by no means any kind of expert on the whole Fate/ universe, so for me, this new and quite interesting take on the world of magic called Fate/ was quite positive, as it was a lot less rubbish than I had originally expected! I do know Fate/stay night and all the anime adaptations of that adult game, and I also know Fate/zero in its anime form. Although I do not know much about the plot, I know there is a sequel to the original Fate/stay series called Fate/hollow ataraxia. I also know there is something called Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, and someday when I run out of other anime series with a Lolita-girl-theme, I might even watch that. I knew absolutely nothing about Fate/Grand Order until yesterday, just like I knew nothing about the upcoming Fate/apocrypha anime series. So what I liked about F/GO was the beginning and the mysterious storyline concerning the world ending in 2017. I liked Mash because I found that girl somewhat endearing. I also liked the fact that some old friends showed up and the way the white-haired cocky "star" ended up. In addition, I also enjoyed the new versions of the Caster servants plus the animation. Oh, and some things were missing, like the main male protagonist being better and more fleshed out and a slightly better and less obvious narrative. I also missed the fact that I did not hear the line, "I am the bone of my sword..." or at least some chanting in German. I missed Saber because Artoria Pendragon is never enough, and she is one of my two favorite anime characters. In the end, I have reached a typical contradictory average, for which I am awarding 6/10 out of nostalgia.
