Quite a lot of fun, and action too. The best is Ruby "teaching" mahou shoujo skills to Iriya LOL
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Being a magical girl is serious business. Wow Rider was a formidable opponent for Iliya. Thankfully the other magical girl ( Sapphire's owner)...soon to be rival/friend stopped Rider's Noble Phantasm with Lancer's Gae Bolg strike

Uh oh, someone missed the fact that it is at least partially a self-aware parody of the genre. That's why the mascot is a troll and looks like CCS wand and why the lead girl is so genre-savvy. Hence references to both Nanoha and CCS abound(since Illya is the type of person who most likely marathon-watched both nanoha, CCS and madoka).

Apart from self-aware comedy, the main interest in the show is noticing all those known characters from both FSN and Fate/Zero(like how this episode had both Waver and Zelretch and how we have both Luvia and Rin in the main cast) and trying to figure out at which point in fate/zero did this manga timeline diverge and how.

Ah, is that so? Then maybe I can enjoy it a little more without thinking that it's ripped off from several magical girl anime.

I'm still watching the first season of F/Z, so I may not find the enjoyment of looking for the characters yet, but once I finish it i will.

The one who even thought of putting glasses on Rin should be shot!!

In any case funny episode like how Rin isn't very helpful towards Ilya in learning her about magic still you have to love her personality.
That love letter was pretty funny especially Ilya's reaction.

Seeing as this is only ten episodes will it only cover the first manga?

seconded.
tohsaka + glasses- worst choice ever

but either way I'm happy to simply see tohsaka and illya ! they are simply so moe.

Why does people always assume series X is a ripoff of series Y? I could say all magical girl series are rip-offs of each other.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Pretty nice episode. 4/5
I really enjoyed the second half of the episode. The whole entire dimension transferring scene and rider getting summoned and about to pull off that strong attack reminded me of some good stay night/zero action. Especially the BGM during those scenes reminded me a bit of zero.

They still had that "this is a magical girl show" comedy scene in the middle of the battle but meh, I can deal with it.

Good to see they still had blood though.

tbh it could of used more blood like in the manga when Illya hit rider with the inital beam it made her bleed and also Rider coughed up blood when Miya shoved that wonderful Gae Bolg through her heart. Also when Illya ran away from Rider before he first beam it was a sprint in the manga rather than random Scooby Doo chase scene and her multiple beam shot was more like a carpet bombing in the manga which was alot more impresive.

Though all said and done it was a good episode it was just a few small things that i thought could of been done better. Miyu's stare when she stabbed Rider was awesome. It is a shame the anime is only covering the first part of the manga it is parts Wei and Rei that are the best part of the manga.

I'm surprised by the lukewarm reception. The show has been loads of fun for both episodes out so far.

I still cannot get through the opening without relooping the lance spinning at least 10 times. The animation has been extremely impressive. And the remixes to the original F/SN themes are a great touch. There was no reason for Sword of Promised Victory to be in the last scene but I can't say I wasn't jumping out of my seat when I heard it. Very impressive/

Pretty cool episode, finally a real fight. It was pretty enjoyable.
Can't wait to see the new character.
I liked when Illya thought of Rin in the outfit, and Rin's reaction. I also really liked the OST that played for a short time immediately following that scene.


I really like the character design of this series, especially Rin (who is now my favorite character of the series).

Either artistic merit to showcase they are always away, since
. So it emphasizes the whole "barely remembers his face" kind of idea.

First FMA did the same thing. FMA manga and Brotherhood actually added a reason for it though, as in

Well, talk about cliche. This is of nothing without its references. But at least it's fun and at least they make laugh of themselves.

Man, I missed Tohsaka, I really like her seiyuu ^^ and that mahou shoujo fantasy of her Ilya had at the beginning was brilliant!

And poor Rider, she didn't even get to summon her Bellerephon. But Ilya strategic escape was priceless :D

I soooo want ufotable to do Ataraxia after their FSN adaptation, so posters like this could eat their words.

And yes, there is a point. If you knew ANYTHING about the main ideas behind fate franchise, you would already figured out what it is. prisma illya is a part of the canon.

I still think they don't want to spoil this plot point for people who haven't seen F/Z and F/SN. It's pretty important and would be a shame if it was just given away like that.
