I could watch a more original simple story about the two in london.

But comeon, gore, blood but not a single kiss :P


Hey I'm pretty sure Rin was about to give Shirou a bl*wjob at 16:00, simple kiss is nothing.

beautiful epilogue.

holy shit adult waver

ufotable lufia <3

i don't care what was AO of this but man i loved that epilogue, makes me wish there was a continuation of this.

that short fight was pretty good


well guess it is verdict time.

first season was wonderful. a fantastic build up and the mysteries surrounding everything.
second season could not live up to the build up of the first season but it was still enjoyable

like the character designs, backgrounds were beautiful, music was great, animation was fantastic, fate's story is pretty interesting and the world setting itself aswell

was going to give the second season an 8 but that epilogue puts it at a 9 for me


reading other opinions each week was pretty interesting and alot of people were helpful when some things were not clear, which was bound to happen given the whole nasuverse, lack of fate route etc.

sadly certain people really tried their hardest to ruin it for newcomers to fate, the constant belittling of AO viewers (the rope rin was restrained with etc.) was quite annoying.

really looking forward to heaven's feel

The change in mood from last episode to this one is insane lol. But, this was a cute satisfying epilogue. Tohsaka x Emiya is very cute, and seeing Luvia and Waver was a nice surprise as well.

I didn't hate this second four as much as other people, but it was... lacking something for me. I couldn't take it as serious. I'll give it a 7/10 for now, since it still a hell of a ride. Hopefully HF movie(s) are as godly as Kara no Kyoukai.

The fuck did I just watch? Did they seriously bring in Luvia and have an anime-original mage wrestling match that was sadly better choreographed than 90% of the fights in season 2? I--I don't know what to make of this...

For an episode entirely dedicated to Shirou and Rin's relationship post-grail war it was way too safe and the romance is still underwhelming.

Personal thoughts:
UBW Prologue: 9/10
UBW Season One: 8/10
UBW Season Two: 6/10
Overall: 7/10

Still better than Fate/Zero and FSN 2006 but that's not really saying much. They should have delayed season two by at least 3 months to better polish it. I think people would get the best watch experience of UBW by watching season one and then finishing with the UBW movie, which does nearly everything in the second half better and is more true to the VN.

Perfect last episode while the series was okay/good. Felt good to just not come to UBW forums and be left out of the whole ruckus, though some traces of salt always were in the air. Anyways, good series but I can't say it's much more than that.

You're over-thinking it. If he were alive, he'd have shown up somewhere. And not just with a background-look-alike. And they'd also be ALOT of serial killings, so ehhh.

I'd take an hour-long infodump that sets up the entire war over 5 minutes of Rin explaining inconsequential magic association stuff that means nothing to the viewer and that both Shirou and her already know about.

Have you watched Fate/Zero? inconsequential magic association stuff that means nothing to the viewer is all over the first 8 episodes of zero. As well as a lot of talking and sitting around

Don't get me wrong I love Fate/Zero but you can't complain about things in one series and completely ignore them in the other.

It is like there is a ubw sequel, Fate/one (impossible I know, example), and for some reason people watch fate/one first and there is a Kirei look alike and I said "Kirei didn't die afterall" people understand he died in ubw.

But a lot of the infodumping was tedious and pointless in Fate/Zero too, especially considering that most viewers are supposed to already be aware of it, having seen/read Fate/stay night previously before viewing. Fate/Zero's opening episode was poorly-paced and there was no need for it to be that drawn out. There is such a thing as flashbacks. If they really feel the viewer needs to have all of this information they could have told it via this method as situations would arise where it would be relevant for the viewer to know, not just dump it all on the viewer at once and bore them to tears.

I was referring to Rin's explainations in this episode, which are there only to try to introduce a new conflict for Shirou at the last minute (whether or not he joins the association), and make no sense since he already knows most of this stuff and Rin is just explaining it to the audience.

I can appreciate some things here but this was not the 10/10 I was hoping for in the end.

I'll say it again, AO...if you enjoyed this to whatever avail then you should be reading the VN to see how good it actually is. There is no reason for "fans" to not read this novel. Plain and simple.

I still don't understand why Shirou says he has never been in atletism club, but Rin remember seeing him while doing atletism (this is shown in the episode where Rin transfer his magic seal to Shirou). I don't understand the importance of this scene, or why there is that remark in the last episode. Could some VN reader explain me this? I don't mind spoilers.

Pretty great episode I'd say.

Am I the only one who'd love a series set in the Clock Tower like this? The larger mage world is something that is sadly glossed over in the Fate adaptations.
