Honestly...that's a better delivery than the original Japanese
The last 5 minutes of that show were particularly...odd, even above and beyond the rest of it.
IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.
New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights! The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

I can't help but notice her aim was terrible too. That wasn't his head.
Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
It takes her like 4 or 5 shots, each of which grievously wounds the cyborg dude
Really, it's a janky as **** OVA, and the more I've read about it, the weirder it gets.
But man does it nail the whole 80's cyberpunk imagery.

Let’s be fair, most of the 80s anime were of... questionable quality.

The line does make sense in context--it's something like "I can't keep defying the laws of nature, people die when they're killed, and that's the way it should be."
Though the Fate series has had more than its fair share of giggle-worthy lines:
The funny thing is, I remember hearing G Gundam only aired a few months after Victory Gundam, often regarded as one of the more bleak and depressing entries in the franchise. So you go from the height of "war is bad" straight to Super Asia and the Tequila Gundam.
"The 75mm gun is firing. The 37mm gun is firing, but is traversed round the wrong way. The Browning is jammed. I am saying "Driver, advance." and the driver, who can't hear me, is reversing. And as I look over the top of the turret and see twelve enemy tanks fifty yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich."
Yeah but I think they have a particular style of crap that has made them memorable for how bad they were, which kind of calls into question are they really crap, or were the 80s and early 90s just a bizarre time XD
To be fair, they're basically doing it on purpose at this point. Almost every entry contains a line that harkons back to "people die is they are killed" because of how memetic it became. FGO actually has several examples.

Just saw the next episode...
Spoiler:
Man i got mixed feelings about the payoff
Spoiler:
I agree. Felt like I was trolled a bit. It was probably my least liked episode of the season TBH
"Preach the gospel always, If necessary use words." ~ St. Francis of Assisi
Yeah, bit of a mixed bag that one. The opening was a copout, but it got so much better with the introduction of MORE PSYCHIC SNOWFLAKES WITH SUPER INSANE UNIQUE POWERS.
I loved that ???% turned into OBSESSION 100% and that Dimple is acting as the voice of reason to Mob now, not bad for an evil spirit out for power.

Spoiler:
Like i get it, i think it would of been tooooooo brutal for best boi to have dealt with death directly but i would of loved to see ether 1) best boy going ???% and some how reviving them or 2) them actually being captured in an attempt to provoke mob into tearing up the town ether way mob could have had to come to full terms of his power which could of been a cool ark imho
Between Reigen being awesome as always with the "final" blow on the teleporter, mob scaring the crap out of him, and some really good action scenes overall setting up what to expect from the final fight next episode (I assume)

Shield Bro was good today, love the animation of his finishing move.
Also watched everything of Slime something up to the most recent episode, bleh. The last one, not revolving around slime god but rather the girl whose name I've forgotten, quite nice.
And after some prodding watched all of Knight's & Magic. It's another isekai, it's bad, but it doesn't tick off all the boxes of the genre thankfully.
The next episode of shield hero will be pretty good too.
Spoiler:
Glass is here now, which is both a good fight, and the first real taste of defeat for the non-shield heroes who descend further into the "this is a video game and I'm the main hero!" mindset which proves problematic later obviously when none of them will listen to any of the voices of reason.

Last two MOB eps have been freakin great cannot wait for the next one
Shield Bro I feel a little odd about - I actually wish there had been more world building or background on the bad guys - maybe next eps will give that? Honestly aside from the poor townsfolk I don't give a flying turd about the kingdom and religious order that the heroes have ostensibly been summoned to protect given how they have treated SheildBro himself...

That's kind of the point, the world is harsh and hateful, just like the real world.

Some spoilers for later on in the series:
Spoiler:
and the church's attitude/treatment will play into the plot later, most likely as the season finale

Sure, sure, but so far all of that harsh and hatred is directed at ShieldBro at an almost comical level vs. the other summoned heroes who are just having a lark and everyone just totally kisses their rear ends in the Kingdom. I mean thats fine, certainly its there to make you root for the MC all the more, but at times it seems over the top...
