This is review on both season 1 & 2 as well as prolouge:

If you didnt watch any of the Fate series then my suggestion is watch this Fate/stay night : Unlimited Blade Works first then watch Fate/Zero or it might lead you to hate the Fate series.

Now this is my view of FATE: SPOILERS AHEAD:

I dont have time so ill be writing it later...For now Ill paste the comments i posted ...:

Fights were cool better than fate zero but the pacing of story is worst...it is fast at some part and very dragging at others...even though fate zero had that but it was compensated by other interesting events...
Basically nothing much happened between what kiretsugu did and what shiro did...
And he didn't explain much about sakura...I thought she was one of the participants but nothing was told about her...the story bent the rules like hell.....I totally expected lots of twists, but kirei died a worst death, lots of low character development 😥




it is above average that is why I rated it 8...I hated season 1 , Cos 1st episode was very fast but not enough to create interest like Fate/zero ( I literally got goosebumps after episode 1 in fate zero)....I only liked fate/stay because of Rin...so yeah I kept making myself believe that its ok there might be better plot in next episodes but it never felt that way...anyways I shouldnt complaint cos even in fate zero nothing actually happens in season 1...

Whereas Season 2 was completely different...It was engaging from the beginning but what made me pissed of was the scene of ultimate blade works playing on and on....damn he wasted a lot of time on it...rather it would have been better if there was an episode from archer's point of view like at the time when he was in past, cos all that flashback and their reasoning whether shirou to be hero of justice was sooo complicated that it felt as if i was listening to some physics class where you dont understand the facts but they are true...

I loved Gilgamish....and his fight with shirou...All fights were cool tbh..but the problem was less no. of fights ( same fault with fate zero, So forgiven)

Lots of rules were bent, like if lancer was ordered to kill himself ,why is not killing himself when he is still alive?
How did rin and saber make pact with rin using up all command seals
How did archer come alive again when he is already dead?
How is archer even able to create that alternate reality field even without a master but rider in fate/zero could not even create more no. of time even with a master?


Finally it was shirou that made me dislike this anime a little cos He knows what his dad's mistake was i.e. By not knowing how to save the world? ( even i rated fate/zero 9 instead of 10 because of this reason) and he wants to become hero of justice then why not create an idea how to save the world instead of just quoting that he wants to be it doing the same mistake as his father....like saving many by killing few

And Final irritating part was..............Saber's personality was completely changed , Damn why is she soooo friendly? Its not even her trait , she looks like some damsel in distress

But even with all these I liked this series only because of season 2 or I would have rated in 6....The feelings of shiro never felt realistic, they felt like he was enacting some drama( Although i know he is bad with dealing with people ). Some parts did create emotions like when Rin keeps worrying about shiro and everyone but it is actually her that is hurt even though she isnt hurt physically( that part felt realistic) other than that I never got emotionally connected to characters like I got connected with Kiretsegu emiya.
