Good service for fans of Lancer, but there's not much substance here.

This is basically the anime equivalent of a bland video game's tutorial level. Heaps of meandering exposition, rapid-fire character introductions, forced drama, and protagonists who are so devoid of personality that you could replace every one of their lines with "Don't give up!" and not affect the plot in the slightest.

What will make or break this are your feelings on the character of Lancer from other works in the Nasuverse. Thoroughly making up for his unfortunate fates in a prior Grail War, he's heavily featured in every single encounter - and it is glorious.

some claim that even his abs are chiseled runes of power

However, if you're unfamiliar with anything else in the Fate/ series, there won't be much here for you apart from a couple of neat fights and some interesting character designs.

6/10 - good fun, not great.
