Not a big fan of how the characters look sometimes (especially when close-up, the simplistic shading makes it look like it's cel-shaded CG and the acting feels much more expressive than the animation) and some of the far-range backgrounds looked ass, but I really like everything else. The fight directing looks great, the general setting design looks really good and the music is really pleasant. Much more excited for this, now.
wew, very fast Aniplex, they usually take a month or two

Not knowing anything about Grand Order aside from that one OVA, I've always wondered why there is a character that both looks and sounds like Rin, but has red eyes and is apparently a servant? :-/

She's possessing Rin. She's the goddess Ishtar, but you can't summon gods so they need a human vessel.

There's also the Hindu goddess Parvati possessing Sakura, and the Norse Freya, Finnish Louhi, and Ainu Sitonai all sharing space in Illya.
It's basically just a way to get FSN characters as Servants.

I think it has something to do with how GO is a weird scenario where human order is all messed up. Same reason you can summon someone like Counter Guardian Kiritsugu who normally isn't supposed to exist.

FF XIV: Walked to the End
Started Legend of the Galactic Heroes (14/07/23), pray for me.
That’s just with the Fuyuki holy grail system
The initial Ishtar summoning was by an ancient Babylonian priestess using an age of gods ritual to take advantage of time being broken to find the most compatible vessel across all of time and space and pull Ishtar into it, and the strain of it was still enough to kill everyone involved lol
Taiga's case is weird because, although they consider what possesed here a DS, the Jaguar Warriors were actually an aztec military force that served the cult of Tezca to opposed Quetz's Eagle Warriors, combined with the many legends of werejaguars. Like, they didn't bother with a specific deity and just went with the concept of Jaguar
That's because Jaguar Warriors also work differently lol
In Central and South American mythologies, the Jaguar is frequently spoken of as a spiritual existence called a Nagual, a shadow and a supernatural Guardian Spirit. It is said that Tezcatlipoca, one of the chief gods worshipped in Aztec Civilization, is also endowed with a Nagual, and this Nagual is a fearsome Jaguar Nagual.Heroic Spirit possession. The Jaguar Nagual achieved its materialization as a bunrei, done by possessing a particular human as its vessel. From time immemorial, it is said that humans who obtained the Nagual of a Jaguar were endowed with supernatural powers. The Nagual tales are narrated even in the modern times. Furthermore, concerning the criteria for possession, among the humans that has a tie to the Holy Grail, the person who carries the fate of the wildness and the wildest force is elected.

As for Taiga/Jaguar Man, sounds like a more extreme Black Panther tbh.
This makes me wonder... Gil has obviously met real Ishtar in his life, right? And this is the Age of Gods, so Ishtar and the others roam the world. The Servant IshtaRin and the real Ishtar, do they exist both at the same time in Babylon? Or was the real Ishtar dragged from whatever plane she was hiding in and was forced to fuse with a human to appear as a servant?
By the time of Gil the prime gods already left the world. Only left behind the divine spirits base on them. These divine spirits are what you interact with from this point in time till they completely go away. Basically Ishtar cannot manifest in her true full power form at this point and the priestess had to summon her divine spirit form through a vessel.
Okay...
I'm sorry, am I supposed to know what that is? 'Cause I'm afraid I haven't got the foggiest idea. :-/
I...see. Thanks.
I see. Thanks for the explanation Koto, and Trubo for the repost.
