Ufotable is the best studio for the FATE series

Having seen Fate/Apocrypha by A1 Studio, Fate/Extra by Shaft, Fate/Grand Order by Lay-duce, FGO Babylonia by Cloverworks, I conclude that all those studios did not adapt Fate nearly as well as Ufotable did.

I want Ufotable to animate ALL of Fate series - especially my favorite Arcs: Babylonia and Solomon!

Ufotable's quality animation is what brought me to, and kept me hooked on, the Fate series in the first place.

What other studios did better than Ufotable:  Shaft - for example - did a better job than Ufotable at delivering the chemistry between the 2 main leads in Fate/Extra and making Nero very likable.

Ufotable's artwork is superior to most other studios.  They make the characters' faces look very beautiful.  My only pet peeve with their artwork is how characters seem to lack noses (LOL).

Ufotable did a splendid job at showcasing each character's personality to the fullest.  Every moment delivers.  Every character gets their personality shine perfectly. I doubt that other studios would be able to deliver interesting characters like Gilgamesh, Iskandar and Archer as perfectly as Ufotable did.

Cloverworks' animation is very good but the artwork is lacking: there is a "same face syndrome" and the faces lack depth/shading and also look 5 years younger than how they should look. It's not comparable to Ufotable.

UFOTABLE's strength is not only animation and art but also at delivering epicness and emotional impact, such as:

  1. eg1, summoning scene
  2. eg2, Iskandar vs. Gilgamesh
  3. eg3, Archer
  4. the moment when Kiritsugu saved Shirou 
  5. UBW ending scene

The only studio that I've seen that is equally good at delivering scenes is WIT Studio.

Ufotable + Fate = dream team!
