I'm not good at explaining myself when it starts getting emotional, so suffice to say that despite its flaws I liked Lord El-Melloi going into this and was satisfied by this special. Maybe it's because I can relate to Waver, or because a bunch of factors play into the show creating a nice balance of drama and fun. It's strange how of all the anime adaptations for Fate so far, Lord El-Melloi holds a soft spot in my heart. This review contains spoilers please watch the special before you continue further. I want to express my congratulations to Studio TROYCA's work, and I hope this was not the last Lord El-Melloi II Case Files anime to air. That's the reason I'm writing this simple and informal review, because I'm sure some of you will understand me or want to read a review like this one as well. To conclude, I've witten this review just to express my satisfaction over a short project like that, and ensure you that watching it will be a great experience. The music, combined with the direction, pacing, dialogues and aura I've mentioned before, are enough to make the experience a blast.

But besides that, there was the perfect music inserted throughout the movie too. The ending song sung by ASCA once again is, this time, a different version of the original opening with added lyrics and trust me, it is the icing on the cake. I don't know what to say about the soundtrack - Yuki Kajiura is my favourite composer, and once again she is exceptional here. Some of those are Kayneth's ex-students and Waver's former classmates we knew nothing about, so there is lore and information about new characters from the Clock Tower.

Like in most Type Moon works, in this episode there are many magicians who have taken the wrong road. The aura and atmosphere are sometimes melancholic and sometimes hopeful the main idea and Waver's philosophical aspects radiate a feeling of hope and support that striving for the best is an honourable way of living, even when life gets hard. There is also something that took me aback and made me enjoy the experience even more but if I mention it, it won't be a surprise for you! There are one or two more reasons (that I don't want to spoil) this episode has this vibe but besides that, the mini arc's structure is familiar to us it has a villain who uses Magecraft to achieve a goal, backstories, character interactions at the Clock Tower (Waver, his students, Reines, Gray etc) and of course, Waver solving the case and explaining the 'whydunit'.

The TV series - this time, Waver literally wakes up finding himself in the body he had at the Holy Grail War. The story unfolds in the Clock Tower and has a strong nostalgic vibe. On the other hand, fellow FZ and KnK fans. So if you're reading this and are not fond of the Type Moon universe / Nasuverse or do not really care about Waver and the Clock Tower, don't bother watching this amazing episode. It's not about the festive day itself it's more of a Christmas gift to Type-Moon fans. Following its 2019 TV debut, Lord El-Melloi II Case Files is back to surprise us with a Christmas special episode / short movie.
