| What a nice way to end this season. :) |

| Wasn't expecting This Illusion as the ED. Awesome stuff. |
Kolnikov said: That was pretty bad :/ I think my score is just too high for the show, maybe I'm a bit surprised with the visuals. But damn, they could at least spend some of this budget in the character design. Terrible. Not sure this is bait or ... ? Complaining about character designs when the first half is already over. really? =.= |
RinArcher said: I must be like the only one who didn't like the ED song. Oh well, guess I'll go complain in a corner about it then. lol, you think we'll let you go that easily? RinArcher is different burn him. |

The bait part is character design... |

| The way this first cour ended was SO MUCH BETTER than Fate/Zero. This had more of a sense of finality as opposed to F/Z which lead up to something and then just said "psyche! wait 3 months =P " The date part of the episode was adorable, I had a cheesy grin on my face the entire time. When shit got real though, it was quite the spectacle. I really enjoyed the anime original interpretation because it made it feel more grand. Not only that but we got to see based Kirei being a fucking badass. Excellent episode, tons of fun to watch. I am not gonna rate the first half o the show especially since there are going to be 90 minutes of extra content so I don't think it would be fair to do so. |

superzombie23 said: Episode saved by the Ending song which should have been the OP the whole time... They really captured the essence of the VN with the song ^.^. lol maybe for the brain dead. For anyone with a functioning frontal lope, this was a sub par ending to a mediocre season. |

Kolnikov said: chickenonthepan said: The bait part is character design... So, the character design is awesome then? Nobody can disagree? Is that the meaning of bait for you? It was just a commentary bro, is not a bait lol. I'm not fishing anything, and I don't have a reason to do. Do I really look like a guy who keeps trolling around? I only see no sense in complaining about character design when the first half is over. You should complain about it in episode 1, not here... |

I am not gonna rate the first half o the show especially since there are going to be 90 minutes of extra content so I don't think it would be fair to do so. This is what is confusing me right now. Do I give the show the original rating of 8 I wanted to without the BD content, or do I stick it up to a 9 out of good faith in Ufotable with the extra 90 minutes of content missing from the TV series. I wish there was a tagging system where I could label as "Watched BD version of X series" so I don't run into this problem. Just do what I do if I like the show I give it a 10 if I don't I don't bother rating... who cares if I'm misleading people they should be able to make their own decisions. Plus number rating systems suck anyway. |

There was a sense of stakes being raised that was too absent in the last episode of F/Z's first half. |

y123y said: I've been looking at the comments.... Asides from the ending song, which apparently has some nostalgia factor, what else did you like about this episode? The fact the Priests aren't complaining about anything should tell you all you need to know. The problems I personally had with it are so largely overshadowed by every thing else that was done perfectly. |
|
| speechless everything was damn good, and i watched 2006 version 9/10 can't wait for the 2nd cour |
 |
RinArcher said: TBH, Kolknikov does have a point; most of the characters (especially the MC of all people) seem to look hollow from the inside and out. I honestly disagree with this, Shirou's design is pretty damn good. I like his look better than in the VN, in fact. |

I actually think he's being honest here. RinPriest hasn't been totally happy with the adaptation and I'm pretty sure he expressed dislike of the designs before. |

y123y said: RinArcher said: This:  I liked the Archer and Kirei fighting moments, but that was short lived. DIdnt see the need for this episode to be 45 minutes long. Rin and Shirou's relationship development Build up to losing Saber Shirou facing a harsh reality Set up for the second half now that Saber has been taken Caster's goals revealed.. the lesser grail C'mon seriously Is all you care about the fights? Why not just wait till the AMV's of the fight scenes come out? It should be far more entertaining to you. Anyway WRONGPRIEST... can you make me a gif? seconds 2-6 the shielder section I need a new sig -_- Please and thank you |
|
| Kind of frustrating to watch, still interesting |
 |
| Wait... WTF... Will the BD version have 4 additional episodes or what? Why are you talking about 90 extra minutes? |
y123y said: If you make the AMV's, ill give you a like on youtube. happy? :) I'm always happy... but if I have the time to make one i'll let you know |

Josephvb10 said: each episode has at least 2 scenes cut from them in order to fit the air time slot. some of the removed scenes that have been mentioned are kind of a big deal because they had some important exposition like the difference between "magecraft" and "true magic" which would have dove home how much of a threat Caster really is from her first appearance. something tells me Shirou using projection magic in the shed might even be one of the cut scenes.....Wait... WTF... Will the BD version have 4 additional episodes or what? Why are you talking about 90 extra minutes? |
WrongPriest said: Kamipriest said: Anyway WRONGPRIEST... can you make me a gif? seconds 2-6 the shielder section I need a new sig -_- Please and thank you 125x100? I must go, my fellow priest needs me. It could be bigger as long as it's under 300 kb, but it doesn't really matter. Thanks btw |

| would have figured this will happen. This isn't the Fate, which focuses more on Saber. UBW focuses more on Rin. Aside from that. That comment on Shirou growing taller...XD. Now I wait for second cour. I want to see if the fights will be good as this cour. |
 |
| shirou acting more tsuntsun than rin at the start. hm. this series is definitely better than deen's but still inferior to zero. that ED song though *^* Kirei best girl <3 |
hhitagi said: shirou acting more tsuntsun than rin at the start. hm. this series is definitely better than deen's but still inferior to zero. Kirei best girl <3 We can't compare this to zero until the series is completely finished. At best we can only compare the first cours of each. Even that is tricky because we already know F/Z turned out awesome so we have a more positive view of the first half. |

| Great to hear disillision in the end... So, we're now waiting for a couple of months. :( |
| This falls way short of Fate Zero, decent effort but it felt like the battle royale was second to the slice of life of the two main characters. It could of done without all the one hour special episodes to cut out some of the fluff that would have improved the pacing. 7.5/10 |
 Can't believe we gotta wait until April now ;_; |

I wonder did we watch the same FZ? |
| Even though I know what's going to happen : That cliffhanger, though? |
forestgreen said: Wait where is the 90 mins of extra footage mention? How can there be 90 mins of extra footage in the first cour anyways. I can understand if its 9 extra mins did someone add an extra 0 at the end of the 9? About 5 mins being cut each episode. 13 X 5 = 65 And we have a little more, I suppose. |
forestgreen said: Wait where is the 90 mins of extra footage mention? How can there be 90 mins of extra footage in the first cour anyways. I can understand if its 9 extra mins did someone add an extra 0 at the end of the 9? Nope 90 XD Spread out among the 13 episodes. |
|
| I have never had as many chills as I did at the end of this episode when Disillusion came on. And then I got even more when I realized it was LiSA singing. 20/10. Heaviest dose of nostalgia ever. |

| 4 fucking months. I should've waited more to start this series. |
| Loved that extra bit with Kotomine. 4 month wait for the second half now. That time will be needed though since it will take a hell a lot of budget for season 2 considering all the action we'll be getting. |
 |
| Ohhh that freakin sucks, I have to wait till April of next year.... Man Ufotable, why you do this to me? Your godlike animation and art on the water scenes, the city at the end and highly background detailed on those "dating" scenes were just OMG. I can't even explain it. Those PV's for the next scene has so much hyped. I will be patient until it will air once again. |
| Oh boy, waiting until April is going to suck. But it's probably worth it to give Ufotable more time. I didn't even notice that this was a 45+ min episode until about 40 min in when I looked at my clock XD. What the heck, Assassin just got it chest ripped apart and he stands up like nothing happened o_o. I was so surprised when I heard the first lyrics to "This Illusion" at the end. Such a nice treat to end off with. |
| About Taiga (Zero spoilers): By the way, despite how silly Taiga seems, she was a top-notch kendo swordsman in her school days, and is in fact canonically at the same skill level as the mighty Ryougi Shiki from Kara no Kyoukai! If only we get some anime-original scene demonstrating her actually being a pretty awesome fighter for a muggle human, instead of either joking around or being targeted by supernatural beings! |
