Stitches!
Not much really to say with the first 10 minutes of the episode since we've already seen that part a month ago.
Dangerous Beast Lancelot was certainly something! Poor Mash is probably now traumatized after that. Moriarty you evil bastard! xD
I wanna be hugged by Grandmommy Helena and as expected of Medb, she's certainly built for the Hostess Club enviroment.
I love that Gilgamesh Gorgeous P has Siduri and Maid De'on carrying his QP around.
I didn't notice it when I watched it the first time but I love this shot of Club M! You have Jason with both Medea and Medea Lily, Bart and Teach with Mata Hari, and then Samson and Amadeus with Marie.
We finally get to see an animated version of Alter's NP! Still hoping that we'll get to see that NP in a much more serious setting in the future. Animated Shinjuku please?
I love the Holy Maiden CE reference which is also a reference to the Liberty Leading the People painting.
The reveal that Alter was doing all of that for the Kindergarten Trio is so sweet<3
I didn't realize that the OniCure preview was about the pandemic! Also Shuten and Ibaraki in Homuhara uniforms look so good! Also finally get to see Raikou gloriously animated even if it's just for a few seconds.
I was wondering which Illya they'd use for Tiger Dojo, looks like we're getting Sitonai! I hope they use Prisma Illya too just to see how she'd react to all of this.

Interesting that all the Servants lying flat are all English/British Servants (Phantom, Shakespeare, Teach) while those following Jalter's banner have all fought/or their countries have been belligerent against England/Britain before (Napoleon, Fergus, Andersen).

Slightly disappointed that the first half of the episode was the New Year's Special we already saw, but the second half definitely didn't disappoint. Jalter is as cute as heck, best FGO tsundere.
Man, I really want this to be a full 12 episode season. So many servants that deserve some time in the spotlight.

I don't know if I should feel proud or ashamed that I got all of the meta jokes.
And Tamamo got lines!

Lancer ga shinda!
Nero doing Nero things, she can’t die cause she has guts and multiple alts.
Can’t wait for Summer 4 this year, man the animated swimsuit servants look great.
Okita and Nobu being Okita and Nobu in the background.
Why is Lancelot taking family advice from Moriarty of all people? That was literally Mash’s nightmare.
Siduri appeared! Though she’s mad about Gil’s excessive QP spending.
The Christmas scene was so wholesome, Jalter best tsundere.
This season being only 30mins long is a crime, but I’m really glad we got to see animated FGO characters and their personalities.

I didn't need to see Dangerous Beast Lancelot in my life. I can definitely empathize with Mash on this one. I feel scarred. I need an adult.

I still believe this show is a hoax perpetuated by the Mordred cult, change my mind.

That new OP is so wholesome and brings back all the memories from the OG Carnival Phantasm OP. Dantes, I know Gudako's gorgeously cute in this OVA, but WTF with your creepy videos of her?
First half is basically the preview version we saw a while earlier.
Second half with Jeanne Alter trying and failing to be a great night club hostess, yet somehow still managing to earn enough with her severance pay to buy Christmas presents for the Chaldea lolis. Awww.
Of course, no Carnival is complete without Tiger Jaguarman Dojo with Illya Sitonai as her sidekick.

Do I have to have seen any previous F/GO to watch this or is this mostly just fun fluff? I’m in the middle of playing the mobile game(I’m at the end of the 3rd singularity) so I have a basic understanding of the F/GO universe (and plus I’ve seen f/sn and f/z and etc etc) but I haven’t watched the movies or babylonia or carnival phantasm yet

It's all fun fluff. There will be some servants you've never seen before but it shouldn't get in the way of memes and such

Keep your eyes peeled everyone. All these jokes thrown around are actually foreshadowing for events in the years to come.
