nice battle scene by saber and lancer

here lancer has two spears, anti-mana and cursing. wow that's so damn awesome

i dunno, in this episode saber looked weaker... and too daring LOL

I love how over the top Rider is.

ufotable, this animation is amazing. Fate/Zero very clearly had a bit of money behind it.

I wonder if Irisviel knows she's a homunculus? Can't imagine she does.

Fucking epic battle.

Also, some information regarding Diarmuid the Love Spot:

Interesting read tbh

i think she already mentioned something like that, saying she was "being used for the grail" so she might know to some effect.

Why are Lancers always ladies men (or try to be at least).

This. Wonder who he's gonna fight against. If he is gonna fight, that is.

Was soo EPIC, way better than any fight in Fate/Stay Night... my favourite was archer vs berserker in F/S N. but this is just too awesome.!@!

Hmm...never thought Lancers were supposed to be ladies men.

Anyways , thank goodness I found out about this anime. Would've been sad if I missed this.

They actually are, Zero's Lancer in particular whole problem WAS women. And Cuchulainn is pretty good wen dealing with women, as he shows in UBW.

One of the things Cuchulainn laments is that he has bad luck with the women that matter (his teacher, Bazett, etc).

And then there is Vlad Lancer who speaks of his clown master as his wife.

It's interesting to say the least. But it's also very slow moving, and to be honest, boring to an extent. Too much talking and explaining.

It does have its own unique elements that it brings to the generic plot. For instance, bringing warriors from different parts of time to fight one another. That's pretty good. But the generic part is the whole "a race/battle/war to get a holy object to grant a wish".

None of the characters really "jump" out at me yet. Saber is by far the most interesting, but that's because she's the MC. I think there will be more development as it goes on. However, it's already episode 4 and only a select few have actually gotten some decent exposure. Once again, this is moving a little too slow.

Right now I'd give it a 6.5 to 7/10.

Saber isn't the main character, Emiya Kiritsugu is. And this series is full of interesting characters besides Saber, I can guarantee you that.

Man are you going to be surprised later on.
And lol @ Saber being the most interesting...you'll eat those words when

Pretty, but boring fight.
Animation: Good
Coreography: Meh
Mind-f**ks: Meh

And we get it, you're both honored. No need to say it 4 times..per person.

"Oh i'm going all out"
3 minutes later
"okay now i'll fight with all my power"


3/5

I liked it. If you prefere mindless pointless fights you have gurren lagann for that :D no offense.

They have excellent personalities. I like how they managed the character development here. And the visuals are stunning. I can't bash them for taking some episodes before it moves on, as this allowed to emphasize the characters. Mindless boring characters I hate that, but here it's very well done, I can sympathize with any character.

5/5

Not ALL of them.Thank god there isnt anything to sympathize with Caster Team,Tokiomi or Zouken.They deserve slow painful deaths.

Well they are pretty funny to observe (caster team), Tohsaka, Tokiomi is pretty interesting to watch too, and Zouken is just plain evil. Each character has a role to play and does it well.

I agree.Caster Team,Zouken and Tokiomi perfectly fill their role.To be hated by the viewers.

As for who is the most interesting of them.
Caster team:take out their views on despair and religion and they have nothing.Truth be told,even though they are participants in the war their only role is to be .
Tokiomi: Makes Emiya Shirou's plans in FSN seem successful.And Kayneth and even Sola are more interesting.
Zouken:The only one who is both successful and has a real role even if he isnt shown.

The battle sequence was beautifully done, I was very impressed!
