EDIT: To the two who wrote up the Chinese subtitles for this episode, thank you so much! Your hard work means a lot to me. SMALL UPDATE: First of all, jesus, this is gonna hit 2k quick. Loving this. But, anyway, seems my Patreon went inactive for a few hours there, but everything's back up. If you'd like to support the show, please consider donating if you can! Episode 2 is in the recording stage, so please bare with me, it'll hopefully be out in a few months! Meanwhile, I'll try to have the BTS of this episode done within the week if I can help it. Stay tuned!

[@TheBlueShifting]

BlueDrakmaVA Are you taking any auditions still or is the cast pretty flushed out already? The writing is pretty darn good and I'm excited to see where this goes. Please let me know if you have any openings in your voice acting or editing needs. Looking forward to episode 2!

[@BlueDrakma]

TheBlueShifting At the moment the cast is already very large, most big roles being filled as is, but this is a big show. I may, at some point, hold open auditions for extras, but that is no guarantee.

I see Siegfried’s reason for giving his Heart to Sieg is less sacrificing himself to save another and more killing himself so he doesn’t have to listen to Gordes.

The weirdest thing about Fate Apocrypha... is that Yggdmillennia are the good guys (sans for Berenike, whom I assume just invaded one day and everyone is too terrified of to just banish her). Yes, Darnic is kind of a dick, but all they want is to ensure the family won't die out and maybe get the Root. In general, they're pretty okay as far as antagonists go. Compared to the Matous and Einzbern, they're the most functional family ever and practically saints. The Mage's Association, on the other hand, are basically Ministry of Magic if Voldemort won the First Wizarding War. They're all about breeding, pureblood families, and basically going full Umbrella / Shinra / Professor Hojo on anyone they want to experiment on. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Final Fantasy villain ruling them from the shadows, given their commitment to being utter assholes. Yes, somehow the Mage who associated with the ACTUAL Nazis to win a Holy Grail War is comparatively a better person than the guys hiring Kairi Sisigou. Literally, the only good people in Clock Tower that I can think of are Waver/El-Melloi II, Rin and poor, doomed Emiya. The best thing that happened was Kotomine/Tokisada and Sisigou just doing their own thing rather than pay the Association any mind. All things considered, both factions did their very best to keep the war from harming Muggles or anyone uninvolved. Sans for maybe Shakespeare and Avicebron, none of the Servants were Satan's anus incarnated like certain Servants (I'm looking at you, Jerk-amesh); poor Jack was just disturbed and probably wouldn't destroy the world if she won the Grail. Frankly, I was happy with any side of this conflict winning.

Very well done. I really liked Apocrypha, and your abridged version is spot on. The opening song you used works really well with the themes of the story (Mainly Sieg's arc), and you have a good cast of voices for this. I actually had to do a double take when I heard Vlad's voice, as it sounded almost exactly like Takahata101's voice of Alucard. Can't wait to see more, and keep up the good work.

[@ulyssesasteroid757]

I'm pretty interested to see how you're gonna handle Sieg. Looks really promising so far, you've got clean editing, and big props to the voicework, everyone delivered very well. Even the few characters who struck me as having a bit of a rocky or flat-footed start were locked in by the end of the episode. Nothing's really outright busted my gut just yet, but you do have a way with sketch writing and comedic timing. Given that this is the setup episode, I'm sure you've got much more to come. I look forward to seeing you guys hit your stride. Thanks for the great work to all of you!

[@ImmaNort]

Blue, your Vlad voice is great!

[@BlueDrakma]

Imma Xehanort D’aweeee

[@Nisi1]

"its been a few hours and the sun has risen" well played

[@suprememaz]

It’s nice to have XanaUzumaki back in the abridging community. Missed ya man.

[@JustinLaw123]

Nice, very nice. Somehow the abridged versions makes characters more real. Like it how you put Gordes's 1st command seal order on Siegfried in this version since it was in the novels, even if it was twisted and wore off quickly.

[@BlueDrakma]

JustinLaw123 That was one of the first jokes I wrote because I remembered that Siegfried’s master ordered him not to speak. I pretty much just thought, “How can I make that even dumber?”

[@arturiapendragon8797]

I got chills at the skillet intro, oml I need a full amv of that

[@lucyarisato6850]

I wanna say that I keep rewatching this and keep re-recommending it to friends. It’s so fucking good and I’m so, so glad to have found this. Absolutely in my top 5 abridged series. Thank you so, so much for this.

[@Wren_the_Bird_King]

"This guy is very white for being Indian." Is what I think every time I see Karna.

[@jasperwygmans9059]

oh my god ive been waiting for a decent abridged of this

[@vastnulanokia403]

Jeanne super chill with the modern slang she has acclimated quite well. Oh and Karna keep being cool guy Karna.

[@user-wr7sm7go1h]

This abridged series and team made the pilot episode of our favorite anime a festival of witty comebacks and banter. They have already surpassed the english dub in terms of quality.

"As long as you're done harassing the supervisor, we're cool."

[@clementgoh9270]

I want Sieg to be absolutely done with everything holy grail war related. The amount of bitching that Ruler and Sieg can do together would be bloody amazing. Just imagine them swearing at every single attack

[@elementalturnip]

Honestly wouldn’t mind seeing that, too.

[@yugijak]

"Fuck the Red team." ...So instead of red vs blue we have red vs black. Done. Love it. I just...done.

[@ashleyketchum429]

Need to hear more of Mordred!

[@058875915]

.....omg they got the guy who did abridged alucard to be their Dracula HA!

[@naputidarrian]

I still came back to rewatch the whole series. I love the production value and dedication to craft. Thank you for all the effort and time to make such a creative series

[@MrDibara]

Okay, I have literally just found this Abridged series. I was torn between watching this one or another one I found, but after watching this, I think I'm sticking with you guys. Seriously, the jokes you pull off are too good! Also, that intro. Really hope that one sticks around. Darn it, I can't pick a favourite on this! Kairi and Mordred were phenomenal, farmgirl Jeanne was amazing, Gordes and Siegfried are hilarious and that last part with Achilles trying to talk Spartacus into coming back had me on the floor! Also, Actual Dracula is fun. I'm really looking forward to what you guys do with Sieg's character. And the homunculi. And the other Masters of the Yggdmmi-- Yggdi-- Ygdmun- err-- the Black Faction.

[@Darkoriax17]

5:16 ...Siegfried saying that cracked me up more than it should have.

[@thomaskessler5904]

I need more. Keep up the hard work and crank out another masterpiece.

[@mxfl6479]

So you're gonna combine multiple episodes, understandable. Anyway this was a really nice abridged series. The voices did not feel awkward and thankfully you didn't make Siegfried stay talking that way, that would have gotten old quickly. Keep up the good work!

[@shaunttorosian8498]

Whoo! Loved this! .....wonder what was on the "Grocery List". Since this is Fate, and mages, their version of a grocery list could be exremely bizarre..... but I'm sure Milk and Eggs are there.... EDIT: Oh! Maybe it's like in FGO and it's Ascension Materials... XP

[@academicace]

This is Shirou, and he's leading a team with seven servants. It's probably a truckload of all sorts of ingredients.

[@MrCat-zz5eo]

There's Semiramis to consider. Likely pigeon seeds and dragon bones, and - ooh! Chocolate ingredients!

[@kagato3]

chocolate, lots of chocolate.

[@DoomyNeko]

108 stingers of certain death, 108 dragon fangs, 60 phoenix plumes. Kairi's gonna be too busy hopping singularities to actually participate in the HGW. Then again maybe that's why Kairi/Mordred aren't the focus in Fate/Apo...

[@msj8189]

It was mapo tofu

[@retrolite5863]

Congrats on getting it out of the copyright void

[@mordi9286]

I freaking love these VAs fits them so well.

[@diothefristwryyy3224]

7:09 was that a red vs blue reference

[@archon6271]

DAMN! You’ve got a great cast here, keep it up!

[@aemontheboneless4098]

I gotta say I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Voice acting is solid, jokes are funny and character development, what little there was, pretty good. If I'd were a critic I'd give this a solid 7/10. Keep up the good work the good and you've got yourself a loyal watcher

[@Xasew]

I came here from Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works Abridged Ep3 - Going Going Gorgon and the BGM that was playing was the same that's at the start of this video. The timing also happened to be such that the music continued smoothly as if it was part of the same clip. My brains were not equipped to handle such a discombobulating experience.

[@BlueDrakma]

I love that show, the OST choices are great too.
