| great ending, loved it!! |
  |
| I loved the anime, now I guess I'll go watch UBW (although Fate/Zero seems better at first glance in my opinion). But the ending left me with some stuff I didn't understand (I haven't watched Fate/stay night btw): |
| I'm speechless 9/10 but what happened to Saber and why Aoi san is alive? |
| Fate/zero being my first entry into this series I knew something was going to happen. I mean if Kiritsugu got his wish clearly UBW would not be a thing. I did end up reading the first 2 hours of the VN just get some understanding of the world though. |
 |
| Kiritsugu best protagonist. Gil bathed in all the culture. Lol. I didn't get the impression Mom Tohsaka was alive earlier, ok then. At least this anime told me something about Kirei at the end here, "You must be alive because of magic or something." Entertaining series, looks like I'll have to read the Wiki or something to know more about the Grail and some other details. Angra Mainyu part was cool. Saber in Avalon showing she seriously wanted to wish upon the Grail and it's hardly about how Lancelot felt it's more her reaction to what happened at the end of her legend. Overall 9/10 |

| This final episode was purely masterpiece! It really deserved the praise. Nothing to say more. |
| Damn, last episode hit me with the feel train... So many questions are answered, glad it left me feeling all satisfied. 9/10 - (Actually rated a 10/10 at first, but then after I calmed down from finishing the ending, I decided that a 9 would be the best) Yeah, it's this fu*king good, I am speechless by how original and profound the plot is. Type-Moon, holy grail! That was the bomb!! Although we didn't get to see enough action scenes, compared to FSN, I genuinely have nothing left to say, besides the fact that Fate/Zero has set my bar wayyyy up high, I don't think there will ever be another anime that can reach this potential... |

| Very intense finale. Even though I got confused a little, it was so dark and epic. 9/10 this season. |
| I might not have liked it as much as I should have (mainly because I didn't read the novels) but at least it's answered all the lingering questions about Fate/Stay Night I had. |
 |
| I wanted to see Gilgamesh and his master dead! WHY? Kiritsugu killed this idiot Kirei!!!! He killed him with the special bullet! Kiritsugu won! Come on! XD So........in the end, Kirei won the Holy Grail? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

Nanaya-kun said: Though one thing bothered me, wasn't Aoi killed by Kariya in the church, how was she alive at the funeral of Tkiyomi? kariya didn’t kill her, he choked her until she passed out. and she suffered brain damage due to oxygen deprivation |
| Fantastically good series. Both the writing and the animation were superior. |
| my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Thanks Fate/Zero. 7/10 |
 |
| For a moment I thought Kirei married with Aoi. But oh well, she lost it. The irony of the dagger, and that irony will happen again in FSN. In the end there's 3 possiblities that caused that disaster: 1. Saber destroyed the Holy Grail. 2. Kirei had his wish granted. 3. The Holy Grail isn't a wish grating device. The second one is just Gilgamesh opinion though. Besides, Kirei lose to Kiritsugu before Saber destroys the Holy Grail. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| So that explains Waver's PTSD flashbacks from the Grail war. Sure a lot of people died but not Kirei or Kiritsugu? Gilgamesh is also still around. So the weaker hero's really don't have much of a chance. C'mon... Overall still a satisfying ending though. |
 |
| Kiritsugu's despair sure was something until he found Shirou, sad that he couldn't see Illya ever again. Guess he passed away just after Shirou said that although he didn't seem THAT old.. Saber keeps on suffering unfortunately, the war sure took its toll on her. The Grail feels like a huge troll, don't really understand how Kirei and Gil won when Saber destroyed it. Pretty fucked up he gave Rin that same weapon he used to kill her dad. Surprised Aoi didn't die back then but her current condition isn't great either. Feel like the Kariya and Sakura scene could've been better, too bad she's still stuck with that creep Zouken, hope he gets his just rewards later. Pretty great series overall but somehow feels like a few things are missing. Now where do I go from here... |

| Oh man this was so underwhelming, I was expecting much more from this series. A lot of pacing issues, characters not flashed out well, too many pointless dialogs, fights were boring and even more so the rest UBW is way better 5/10 and I’m being generous |

| The writing and art of this show is superb. Emiya won, Kirei also admitted it on UBW show before the start of the Holy Grail. nerfx said: The Grail feels like a huge troll, don't really understand how Kirei and Gil won when Saber destroyed it. |

| This season was straight up banger in comparison to the first season. So much was happening I don't even knew how to react at some scenes. 7/10. |
| Probably one of the worst fate anime of all time. Fate zero is a failure in writing. Nobody understands what goes on and there are no answers. It is also depressing compared to the other fate series and fate stay night anime is way better than this. Only star is for kirei X Gilgamesh naked at the end. True winners are kotomine kirei. 1/10 |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| y i k e s what a disaster |
| Incredible ending, I love it! All in all, it was an amazing anime. For me personally, it's a 10/10. Very well written characters, an exciting story and very good presentation by Ufotable. I'm not a fan of this studio, but their animation certainly is very fluid and consistent. I hope other fate anime can reach the level of fate/zero (I haven't watched any of them completely) |
| I expected my experience to be ruined because I watched DEEN first, but not at all. It works. Fantastic music, animations, and voice acting clearly helps. This show doesn't focus on one character but handled it perfectly. Even that Kiritsugu backstory episodes were amazing. |
| Not bad. It does make a sense how Holy Grail was. 7/10 enjoyable |
| That Kotomine Kirei vs Kiritsugu fight was something else I don't get why ppl like sakura after seeing such awful scene maybe she was possesed or hopeless, messed but still.. Damn rushed and cut content ending.. I guess ppl have to read the Fate spin-off prequel Light Novel for the full experiencie. Also confusing af and we didn't see Saber vs Gilgamesh fight |

| Nothing to say that has been said by these fellas lol... 10/10 |
 |
| So it ends... That was an amazing series. It exceeded my expectations of what sort of series Fate is. In the end, nothing really works out. Not even for Kirei, who nevertheless enjoyed it. It was quite sad to see Rin so alone now. I totally thought Aoi died, but it seems she's still alive, albeit crippled and probably brain-damaged. Can't imagine how hard it must be for Rin. But I know that it's far worse for Sakura, who has to go through another 10 years of torture at the hands of Zouken's cursed bugs. In the end, Kariya went all through that pain and suffering for nothing. I was wondering why Kiritsugu didn't visit Ilya. I thought he stayed at Fuyuki to atone for his sins or something, but it turns out it was the damned Einzberns who did it. The heartless idiots kept Ilya from Kiritsugu. After all, Ilya must be just a tool for them. It's so heartbreaking that Kiritsugu never met Ilya again. And with the Holy Grail War still going on, Ilya is forced to continue the path of the Einzbern homunculi. This is one of the most heartbreaking parts for me. And I guess Saber never found out why Kiritsugu ordered her to destroy the Grail. It all sets the stage for the three main routes. 9/10. Heaven's Feel was amazing. I loved it so much, and it still is my favourite Fate... series? Technically, it's a trilogy of movies. My favourite "route" I'll call it. But Fate/Zero has made me a fan of the Fate universe/franchise in general, because it's convinced me that the ones outside of Heaven's Feel are amazing too. Will definitely watch the other Fate series now. |
 |
| Okay, this is more of what I was hoping for! First 3 episodes were about the same quality as last season but the episodes after that were simply just fantastic. And this finale, to top it off. Depressing on numerous fronts but it fits the theme of the route perfectly and gives a much better understanding of the adapted VN routes. Last episode's cliffhanger along with Ufotable's stunning animation honestly got me really riled up but the devastation that followed as a result was tough to watch. Kiritsugu's struggle to find survivors in particular, good lord. Gilgamesh fanservice in the end though, lol why not? It was nice to see that he did try to visit Illya after the war, and that confirms something for me from the HF route. Kariya Matou-san's demise followed by Sakura's demoralised comment, yeah that stung quite a bit. Ever since watching HF II, I can't help but be a but more aware of her tragedy and some of the shots of the worm bath and whatnot just made it even worse for me. I've talked about this enough in the HF II and III discussion posts though so I'll just end it off here. A short insight into Rin's responsibilities and what she lost from the war didn't look nice at all. God, the state of the mother though. And to make it worse, Kotomine's wry smile. On Saber's end, not a merry ending either. Deep-rooted regrets, that's obviously tough to bear. The shot of the sun rise was quite special and certainly left an impact too. Rider's final moments from last episode was a serious respect moment. Gilgamesh acknowledging and respecting Iskander was a nice touch. Velvet and Iskander duo turned out to be the best pair by far! On the other hand, the contrast between Saber and Kiritsugu definitely made things interesting in a different way. All in all, the journey to the expected end goal provided a new experience that is usually untouched in the medium and 100% made me enthralled in the franchise even more! By no means, a perfect journey all together as I hinted above, but the various explorations (e.g. morality, worth of being a king etc.) that the series pondered on made it all the more impactful and meaningful to keep up with. I find it amazing how nearly all the servants, masters and a few of the side character's goals' were handled as well, very professionally done indeed. Episodes 4 & 5, from what I've received a fair amount of backlash but to me, it was really nice to have it right after Ep 3's twist. Some vital character development there, if you ask me. ED's majestic song and the visuals illustrating the relationship between Kiritsugu and Iyasviel was another take-away from the season for me. Beautiful stuff! Settling with a well-deserved 9/10 here! A significant step up this season as compared to the previous. |

| Dat Excalibur. Saber's face. Dat tear. HOLY SHIT! The sky! Gil survives. HOLY SHIT! Its pouring and landed on Gil. Ilya. Dat fire! Kiritsugu is... trying to save people. Kariya is alive. Kariya brings Sakura to see Rin. Oh... Kariya is dead. Sakura called him a...baka. Kirei is alive. LMAO at Gil looking fabulous naked. Gil got spat out. Gil has been incarnated. Kirei has no heartbeat. Sabers gone. Gil and Kirei won the war. Kirei laughs. Kirei sees Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu sees Kirei. Kiritsugu starts digging. Kirei is pissed. Dat hand. A boy. Kiritsugu's face. Fate/Zero 0:00:00 And that was the end... or should I say... the beginning. My 10th anniversary rewatch of F/Z is over. I still consider it a masterpiece after 9 years. It is the Fate that made the series explode in popularity. It is why ufotable became a powerhouse (had a bigger impact than Kara no Kyoukai and F the casuals regarding KnY). It is the reason why I consider Rikiya Koyama one of the GOATs. He was perfect as Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu is my favorite Fate character. Once again, Kalafina and Luna Haruna slayed the OP and ED songs. I thought nothing of Kariya during my 1st watch, but in the 1st episode, he looked cool this time. Unfortunate that he went through that transformation. Finally, Kiritsugu really didn't talk/conversate with Saber 99.9% (the .1 is debatable during the Kayneth death episode at the end) of the series. lol |

da 10/10 list keep increasing |

| I'm speechless. (･–･) 10/10 |

| What an amazing finale. That was such a great end to such an amazing series. Loved it from the beginning to the end. Kiritsugu was such a great MC. I got emotional when he was looking to save people from the rubble. All this man ever wanna do was to become a hero and save as many people as he can by sacrificing everyone close to him. It was such a sad life for him. I'm happy that at least he found someone who he can take care of, Shirou. |
 |
| I'm shocked but at the same time underwhelmed. The ending was tragic, and could've been even more tragic if the lead up to it was better, and because of that it didn't affect me how tragic it was. Like I said before, I didn't ever care for whatever happened to any of the characters (except for maybe Kariya), which wasted a lot of emotional impact that could've been there if the characters weren't as underdeveloped This show had a lot going for it from the beginning but I really feel like it only scratched the surface of its potential. I'll take some time to think of a justified score but for now I'll leave it |
