It's still a travesty of a show from a production standpoint that should've been scrapped or mended early in the process, but accounting for the unique nature of Type-Moon's various settings and Nasu's writing quirks, I'm not particularly annoyed by how it turned out on the basis of intrigue and entertainment. It's a truly unique experience/atmosphere/thematic palate compared to any of the other TM animes and I enjoyed watching it.
