Even with the messy staff list I 100% think this is possible
I don't think the previous episodes set that high of a bar relatively speaking
I mean... no jjk episode in s3 so far is even close to FSF episode 6 and Jigo episode 8 imo

since next week's episode will undoubtedly take the #1 spot, here are the other four episodes in my top 5. i will miss gosso kaisen badly.

@chromat1cfire i mean yeah pretty much the same only difference is that i got attached to characters during the novel so i still care about them in the anime but the cut content hurt the storytelling of the anime
English

This happened way earlier in the novel if I remember correctly. You're telling me there's potential for them to cover missed scenes?👀

BLACK HAIRED AYAKA? #strangefake #ストレンジフェイク

The episode was peak but I think I've seen Jujutsu Kaisen, Fate Strange Fake, and Sentenced to be a Hero deliver comparable if not better cuts this season.
Episode of the year is crazy, we're 2.5 months into 2026
Also Episode of the year shouldn't be soley based off of sakuga🗿
JowGrim 渡辺裕@alemaoO13
So Frieren has the episode of the year

@PokemanZ0N6 i gave it 5 episodes and xylo did not have a single unique characteristic, dotta was irrelevant, kivia is average tsundere, the king was an inferior erwin copy, tatsuya was all hype moments and aura. went into it with an open mind, it didnt make me stay, might just not be for me
English

@mateeeCS I think it's the perfect recent example of a show not needing to be deep to be enjoyable. The characters are good, they have good interactions and development. Aesthetically it's top tier, and I like its world setting
English

Ranking what i enjoyed this season of anime so far
1. Sentenced to be a hero (was lower, but got up)
2. Fate/strange Fake (was easily #1 until last episode, but could go up again)
3. Frieren S2 (going up with recent eps)
4. JJk (dropped)
5. Vigilantes (dropped)

@re_kiriyama @RegneLent sound the fanfare! the royal armies are victorious once more!
English

@RegneLent Can i get a pass if i always allies with him in stronghold series?
English

Please refrain from criticizing Richard under my posts unless you have read all nine volumes of FSF at least three times, have read a minimum of five books about the real figure, including Gillingham’s work, have watched the movie Kingdom of Heaven just for the final scene, have read two books about Robin Hood, and have written a dissertation on a minimum of seven Plantagenets, Richard included of course.
English

@RegneLent im a 2 times fsf novel rereader and richard is my eternal ally in the stronghold games yet i have not a single thing i can criticize my goat on
English

gets so boring seeing everyone complain about cut content
ts happens to most adaptations just cuz fsf is not 1 out of 300 this doesnt happen to is no reason for slandering the adaptation.
fsf was meant as an april fools joke and look how far it came just be happy

Honestly, the episode was...disappointing. That's the first time I've ever said that about a Strange Fake episode. Skipped the Golden Dragon scene for Gil vs Richy and the Gil vs. Bumcides fight was very underwhelming. What a shame. #JohnStrangeFake showed out tho.
English

@steIIarevue its rly only 5 throughout the 13 episodes since vol1 was whispers of dawn
English

@RegneLent its always been this way. those who really wanna immerse will get into the ln those who dont will enjoy the anime.
sad thing the ln fans will always complain when something gets skipped
personally im a tbate novel fan so i consider myself immune to complaining about adaptation
English

Oh ok. I was immerse in my excitement but now I see everyone hates this episode lmao.
The way I see it. I enjoy getting what I’m getting. Nothing is going to match Narita’s work. There’s something much more important that we are gonna get soon that truly warrants the most quality: volume 10.
The anime is a nice companion but we still have the novels, when I feel like I wanna see Richard, truly, I just go to the novels. I have eyes and the capacity to read.
English

@TheMashStan only real bad things were the monte cristo and the fake assassin fight but both of those can be salvaged with a little time trip at the start of next ep like they did in ep6
English

Gents, I know we wanna give credit where its due,I've been saying the anime staff has done a really amazing job with it. But this episode was...disappointing. I'm sorry I can't be fake positive about it. The Golden Dragon scene, Gil vs Alcides being underwhelming, no Monte Cristo

GILGAMESH GOT FUCKING ANNIHILATED 😭
English

@cipher_over in the ln theres a lot more story imo the anime is amazing and rly enjoyable but its best seen as an apperizer for the ln cuz theres like 2 times as much story in the ln than in the anime
English

I take it back, according to LN readers, this episode was apparently garbage
Cipher@cipher_over
That Strange Fake episode was absolutely insane
English

Episode 13 is a big episode and apparently will have some crazy stuff now y'all LN readers tell me, if they're adapting v6 or nah?
Kizu@kizu_skip
With the pace FSF anime is moving at I am even more certain now that we might see the finale of Volume 6 in Episode 13.
English

@steIIarevue they are probably gonna have a kind of return in time like with the start of ep6 i hope and we get a 2 min scene at least with their fight and then they get swallowed into riders np.
but i might just be coping
English

Don’t get me wrong, I love the episode, but goddamn I’m so disappointed the entire Assassin vs Jester part was skipped. They teased us with it in the OP just for it to get skipped completely. Alright. #StrangeFake

@Acceletor4882 dumas is rly op when he has humans under him who he can write into main characters
English

@Zero__01110 @d0nutalt seems like a you thing cuz the most enjoyable fights for me in anime were always from fate
English

@d0nutalt Does anyone have an answer? Wy do Fate sequences, despite their cool animation but Something strange is preventing u from enjoying it
Its like something missing
Its similar to sound effects; although they're quiet, sometimes they don't suit the scene ,
Idk how to describe it
