What's a better portrayal of Alexander the Great? The failed 1968 television pilot starring William Shatner as the King of Conquerors? The 2004 box office bomb starring Colin Farrell as the legendary commander?
Or how about Fate/Zero's rendition?
The thing I like most about Fate/Zero thus far is Waver and 4th War Rider, AKA Iksander. (Huh, they even use his original name, kind of like how FSN referred to Hercules as Herakles.) I'm even revising the next chapter of my Nasuverse fanfic thanks to the new information I have been learning.
I definitely like the 2nd episode more than the first. Less talking, more skullduggery! Yes! If I were to review on an episode to episode basis, I would give the first episode a 7/10, and the second episode an 8/10. Haven't seen anything that made me go crazy go nuts, but bear this in mind: Darker Than Black got really good by its 4th episode. Patience, my dear readers.
Also, I know I said there isn't a (lot) of movement in the animation, but you know something? The most beautiful animated tv series I have ever seen, Mushi-Shi, was that same way. The artwork and camera work was rendered in such a way as to not compromise the visual integrity of any shot, and I like that. Sure, that means you would only see really fluid animation during the "money" shots, but hey, I don't mind.

Yeah, you're probably wondering why I still haven't unveiled myself and release my book yet. Um . . . it's for reasons outside of my control. I don't wanna go into details, but I've encountered some setbacks. Hopefully, later this month, I could get started. If we're lucky, later this week, but right now, my hands are tied.
Until then, I can keep making videos, so when I get on Youtube, I'll have several videos for you all to see at once. And I guess I can keep writing, too.
