I haven't watched Fate/Stay Night yet but I'm sure that I'll like it better than this version.

he was forced to change in order to conform to Japanese Otaku conventions of what a Visual Novel should be. Honestly, if they could have made it at least half as awesome as that OVA teaser, I trhink it had the potential to far surpass what Stay Night currently is, Otaku be damned.

Not really. Female otaku would be delighted by this. I thought the whole point of this OVA was to see if there was enough interest for a new otome game. Remember that "Otakus" also include females, and if somebody is to "be damned" is people like you who do nothing to support the industry but to insult and bash the people that do, blaming them for whatever you don't like and ignoring the fact that without those "damned otaku" as you call the Japanese fans, there wouldn't be an anime industry to speak of.

^random rant.

Except that Nasu was aiming for the male otaku which is far larger than the female ones.

And you assume that Leon-Gun doesnt like FSN just because he thinks that Prototype would be better AND that he hasnt bought anything anime related.

Wow, that was brilliant. A lot of information though and talking in the middle though, I had to re-watch that to catch what some people were saying.
I really hope they make a series or something of this.

Well that was pretty interesting, would be nice to see this as a full series or VN as I think it could be a fresh change of pace for the Fate franchise.

This looks like it would be far more enjoyable than the original F/sn route. It seemed to be dark, and the main character seemed very interesting. I liked it.

Type-Moon. It was awesome. But I'll stick to my (female) Saber fan-boy guns. I'm not dissatisfied with how it actually turned out but can admit that the original idea was pretty damn cool.

The original plan has alot better atmosphere and it seems there was supposed to be a much stronger rivalry between Saber and Archer than is portrayed in FSN and F/Z. I think I would have preferred this honestly because female saber's backstory is really weak.

Alt Universe , is pretty much how i can keep my brain from asking to many questions.

mmm i enjoyed non the less, seeing that nothing has been heard of this,
iguess it will remain a "ova"

also liked the main character and her magic ability with feathers,
reminds me of Rin and her Magic Bullets.

I wish they would've gone with Ayaka instead of Shirou. Because Shirou is so booring.
10 min of prototype was better than the whole Stay Night.

It blows my mind that people think that it "is a better story" than FSN,even the anime,when the ova barely gives us any story,char motives,or even the full cast.WoW such a good storyline.

I would definitely watch this. Male Saber is so nice and sweet, my heart melts just by seeing him. He's totally different from female Saber. The heroine is pretty annoying at first, but I get the feeling that she's one of those "developing" characters that just needs some time. Lancer has one of my favourite VA's, so I'll let him pass even though he isn't as badass as my beloved Fate/Zero-Lancer, and Gilgamesh is just too damn cool.
Most of this OVA is pretty confusing, but the animation is great and the characters look really interesting. I'm really curious about the story and how it would develop, so I'll keep wishing for a real adaption although the chance is minimum.

Woah It's like Fate/Stay Night without all the suck.So not like Fate/Stay Night at all.
I wish Nasu didn't change it so much. Then again it probably wouldn't be as popular.

Oh and is her command spell between her boobs? lolwut

Can you tell how exactly "it doesnt suck like FSN".You just got a bunch of random scenes.

What is the story?What about their development?

By all the suck I meant mainly Shirou. Anything without Shirou is better than anything with Shirou.

Entertaining but short. Would love to see a full season with this interpretation of the Fate mythos. Who knows, everything Fate related is popular these days, so why not cash in further and make a full series out of this.

Seems pretty cool and the "trailer-like" part felt intense. Would watch if it were a full thing

Some things were kinda weird though, like the Servants' clothes ._.
Also, what were the magic circuit-like lines that spread everywhere when Saber was summoned? How did Lancer's NP break with one slash? wot

We will never know.

This, yes. Very good.

I liked Female Saber but I like the dynamics between Male Saber and his master much more.

Would make for a decent AU at least. Why can't more AU's with less fanservice?

So Saber was supposed to be male huh. Archer is still giving too much attention to the male Saber as well as Gilgamesh does with the "female Saber" :o

Pretty interesting but I'd still prefer the "female Saber" even if the character is not that good.

That looked cool :o Well haven't watched the original FSN, and UBW just started, so not too familiar with the differences except how the characters looked. Male Saber was pretty cute I guess. I'm surprised this was done by Lerche since it looks so similar to ufotable (well in my eyes anyways, I'm sure there are people who think they look nothing alike or something). The visuals were certainly pretty. Also, from what I've read, people don't really like Shirou as the mc that much, but idk if I like this girl either. Maybe at UBW goes on, I'll be able to understand the complaints though.

So Rin without twintails is the protagonist.Archer,Shirou and saber's synthesis is the new Saber.Lancer is still Lancer because he is already perfect...Illya looks meh.Where is Sakura tho?No Senpai,No Fate...
