Nothing. Don't expect any resolution or explanation in that.
Wut? "Eating" or "killing" humans gives servants magic power? That wasn't stated in F/Z... Maybe that's the reason why Gille de Rais, the Caster-class in F/Z, was killing so many kids, but I always thought they did it for pleasure/fun... It's getting a bit confusing now.[/spoiler]
Because FSN comes first and explains most of conepts, so there's no need for it to be stated in F/0. Also no, F/0 Caster was just an insane freak.

Mana transfer works either directly via grail(like most masters/servants), via sexual behavior or via bloody ritualistic murders.
Do you feel the need to correct/attack people on every fate thread?


Yes when people can't grasp the most basic concepts or i have something to say.

No, I was just curious since I didn't understand why you'd bother. If people wanted to know something, they can just google it/search it up. There's also no need to be so patronizing.

Loved how the crying scene played some Mozart. So far it's good in my book, but I'm starting to notice why people dislike Studio Deen, but the animation is still decent and I've always been a fan of the art style.

Saber's eyes changed from green to red then back to green while fighting berseker. Why?

Also, I hope I am not the only one that hates him screaming her name every 5 seconds -_-'

I bet Shiro's repairing and enhancing skills must be useful in some way. Also, knowing the internal structure of tools and devices could probably be used somehow.

BTW, I loved how Saber's blood was dripping down her invisible sword after fighting Berserk. The artists really did an amazing job with this anime. All these little details are amazing.

The cake is a lie.

And Shirou dies a second time. Luckily for him, people don't die, when they are killed.

Shirou is too naive, I don't like goody two-shoes like him.

At this point I'm watching it for Rin, Saber and, to a lesser extent, the evil loli.

Mh... the giant and the little guy pair, ok; the legendary hero Heracles behaving and looking like some brainless monster, not ok.

Yeah, the hero has revealed a new unique ability ! "Trick" revealed later?

Fourth episode and we have yet to learn rules? It's starting to be a lot. It will soon sound more like a sport than a war.

The music score is still the best aspect of the show.

3/5 And so started the forced cohabitation with a foreign girl (and potential third love interest)...
Expecting the next episodes to show the relationship strengthening until some mid-series big event that will start the battles or until she vanishes thanks to a lack of mana.

Anyone else think that Saber was Joan of Arc when she was alive (the first time)?

At first, yes. Now, not at all: Heracles is so heavily reinterpreted he has almost nothing to do with the greek half-god so I presume all Servants ties to their supposed original identity will be extremely loose.


@CodeBlazeFate First disappointment: this Heracles is no Heracles. Probable forbidden love story between slave and master incoming. -_-

- I'm already starting to hate this version of Shirou... I swear, if he yells Saber's name ONE MORE TIME... I'll... I'll...

- It's only 4 episodes and we've already gotten into Saber's...



- I almost feel like dropping this and watching Zero/UBW but this is the Fate route (by the looks of it) and I guess I want to see what they do with it but I'm only watching this because of Saber... maybe Illya too.

The plot armor on Emiya is too damn high. Emiya might as well just reverse the role between Saber and Emiya, but Emiya's too weak.

Man, girl's instinct sure is sharp. Especially about love, lol.

I on’t know what’s up with the discontent people are having with this show, maybe because I’m starting here instead of Zero I’m not noticing the huge drop in animation quality but even without the amazing animation I’m just liking the character interactions.

The relationship between Emiya and Saber might just make me continue. Emiya in a glance seems like a typical righteous shounen protag but I think he could compensate with situations. Maybe.

For some reason, the way Emiya Shirou behaves really irritates me. The things he says, the words he uses. So naive, oblivious to the way things are. Keeps on shouting and calling out Saber again and again and again. Yet being unable to do anything, but still keeps on calling out her name.

His beliefs and the way he goes about doing things, his character, for some reason, annoys me the same way that Inoue Orihime from bleach does. The way he lets himself get taken advantage of and made use of by Matou Shinji in episode 2. Volunteering to get used by others and naively smiling about it. Especially when it's so obvious.

I have to admit though. In terms of principles, he and Saber suit each other.

I can't believe this. Am I the only one who feels this way about Shirou?

I was looking for some post regarding this. Feels good to know I'm not the only one who finds Emiya annoying. Especially calling out saber saber when she is engaged in combat.

does this get better? it's kinda meh

it's just another show with a boring and/or annoying and/or dumb MC

we've clearly had a fair amount happen in just 4 episodes, and yet it feels kind of slow, like nothing has actually happened

it's just lacking

anyways, is that girl that always makes him food one of the 7 masters? how can she smell blood?

Even though it is an old anime. And it has some unusual Animation and some odd dialoc from the old time translation. I do thin it is a good each for any one that enjoys the Fate Series. I do think this series does need a remake.
But it is a worth one watch.

i hope the battle will be more detailed the more the anime will be advanced. so far the action is minimal. but this is only the start, right?

wonder what is that "witch" one.

so far i love rin. but i wonder of her affection to emiya.

what with sakura "sniffing" blood? lol

it took long enough to emiya to start looking for caber lol. the moment he waked i wondered "where she is".
love the development between them though

i feel this was the first episode the art bothered me so much . . .

Not too much happened in the latter half, but it was good
- Hurcules huh? I like me some greek stuff
- Why didn't Illya and Achilles just kill everyone, it would have been that easy
- Ooo looks like a servant was watching. its obviously a caster given the glass ball, i wonder who the master is
- Oh wow, Kuritsugu definitely put the scabbard in Shirou, just like Irisviel. I really shouldn't have watched Zero first, its spoiling things
- Saber doesn't want to reveal her identity. God damn it knowledge is gonna ruin the reveal isn't it

I gotta say I love the anime's soundtrack used in the episode. Also, it's nice to see the knight girl and our mc start to get to know each other and it makes things less awkward.

I wish he asked knight girl why she wishes from the holy grail, it may help him have a cause to help her win and fight along.

Overall W episode as it moves the introduction phase to the story into the part where things build up
