Ngl Kny is the only ufotable's work that is a 10/10 in terms of animation.

fate/zero came out in 2011 (cgi has come a long way since then) and still has better animation than a lot of modern anime. demon slayer looks great animation wise, but the story and characters are very dull compared to fate/zero. also, watching fate/zero for the animation is a mistake because it has the best story and characters in the entire franchise. fate/zero also has some great choreography (saber vs lancer and kirei vs kiritsugu come to mind). fate/stay night ubw (it’s one of the sequels to fate/zero) definitely has the best choreography out of ufotable fate, saber vs archer (x2), saber vs assassin, archer vs shirou, archer vs lancer, saber vs lancer just to name a few, as well as better animation than fate/zero and a great story. the heaven’s feel movies have excellent animation and cgi, i don’t know what you’re talking about with bad cgi. choreography in fights like saber alter vs rider and lancer vs assassin look great. another thing is that fate isn’t about how well a servant can fight with a sword (especially since only half(ish) of servant classes use melee weapons), it’s about the unique powers and abilities each servant has. fate is also adapted from light novels and visual novels, so it’s a lot more difficult to choreograph fights. also how is fate’s artstyle generic? the masters are generally just normal people? servants like saber, archer, and gilgamesh look awesome.

it’s cool though, fate is one of my favorite franchises and i felt the need to defend it

Can't believe someone actually think ds has better choreography than fate.

I guess fight scene is indeed subjective after all.

So this have actually been in my mind for a while now, I watched fate zero back when it aired but i didn't bother to know the studio behind the animation and ngl the visual effects were outstanding. But What I didn't like was the art style and artwork, like it looked super generic and some CGI looked pretty bad, I didn't bother watching the second season when it aired cuz the story didn't interest.
Then when Demon Slayer came and I was like "WOW this art style and artwork looks magnificent" every frame was wallpaper worthy cuz of how the art style looked like an illustration. Then suddenly everybody was like "ufotable is the GOAT of animation" i wondered how they were the GOAT when only one of the work looks great. Then I saw some people saying that fate was also made by ufotable and the animation is better than Demon Slayer's, and that's why I remembered about fate and that it was also made by ufotable. i then went back to watch every single fate adaptation by ufotable and AGAIN they didn't look as good as kny. Why?
1.The CGI in fate is exaggerated.. it looks bad IMO
2.The fight scenes are mostly just sparkles of light with no actual choreography.. they don't bother to do any hand drawn effects except the character models unlike Demon Slayer which has perfect balance with visual effects and choreography and also has perfect hand drawn effects like the breathing techniques and many more.
3. The art style got the most generic looking art style of all time.. like man, when the camera is focused on the sides of the characters their mouth proportions looks weird and their hairs is awfully transparent like most generic looking animes. Demon Slayer looks artistic, it has it's own style of animation, the drawings of the characters, clothing e.t.c are the most detailed artwork I've ever seen.
4. Choreography.. like I said fate mostly lacks choreography, just like in the movie trilogy, all the fights were just *blasts blasts blasts*

The only time that CGI looked bad in Demon Slayer was that time that the Mugen train tipped and crashed... Yeah maybe I'm being biased cuz maybe Ds looks better cuz it was adapted from a manga. Nobody was actually talking about ufotable (atleast not that much) till Demon Slayer was adapted.
Just like fate it's same as their other works, they all have that generic looking art styles and over visual effects with no actually choreography.

Note: I hope I didn't offend anybody, you can drop your opinions in the comments.

Edit: lmao it looks like a lot of fate fans are mad for no reason and kny haters are already jumping on me. Well it's okay... It was to be expected since DS is one of the most popular animes of all time, of course the haters would come around. Understand the post first before commenting trash, sheesh dumb trolls all over this site🤦‍♂️.

Tl;Dr: ufotable's animation ain't that great, Kny is their only work that looks well polished.
