HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO WAIT TILL APRIL!? I don't want to wait T^T

The hype and fangasm at the Opening song from 2006. My inner fanboy was unleashed. 9/10 Season 1


It's actually part of the original VN Chibi so the hype for it is even higher. What time will your review be up?

So, why does Caster get more command spells didn't she just steal one?
Also, why does Saber think they only need one servant to summon the Grail?


In order for the Grail to manifest only one servant must remain, I think Kotomine mentioned that in episode 2.
But there were still two in F/Z, unless Saber somehow just forgot that detail.

Caster renewed the contract. So she has 3.

Saber said that the grail will be summon when there is only one Servant left. Servants have to kill each other to finish the ritual.

An amazing episode to end the first cour! Hearing This Illusion made me a bit teary eyed, and sang by LiSA!
The only type of person one can rule over is one who wishes to be ruled over. Unfortunately, it seems that I forget this once I grow older. If I had a choice, I would've liked to become a good leader. Why is it that other rulers attempt to rule through fear when the correct path is so simply trod?

I seriously don't remember why that happened in F/Z, might have something to do with Iri being used.

Knowing what's going to happen makes the wait 400% worse, people should reconsider reading the VN, so they can live in agony like the rest of us.

Rin's line at the end is cold as fuck. Damn.

If I was Shirou, I would surely be broken there...

(Well, i know it's in the VN, but watching the anime is something else)

Also, anyone notice that the infamous "people die when they are killed" missing?

No idea what the general consensus is, but I thought this was a great episode. Established the main threat, and put Shirou and Rin at the forefront of things to come. The ending theme was icing on the cake :)

Nice to see Shirou went on a date with Rin with Saber coming along at the beginning.

I felt bad for Shirou since he lost Saber and Saber got taken by Caster.

It's great that you were able to stick with the show up to this point since everything goes uphill from here.

That was a nice spot to put things on-hold.

Those water movement! Idk why but I still find the ghouls strangely attractive.

I never really liked Caster's noble phantasm.

Really felt the bond between Rin and Shirou, playing "THIS ILLUSION" gave some nostalgia and made the ending quite amazing.

Easily a 9/10 as it was quite amazing to also get to see Kirei doing a little fighting. Honestly really hyped for Spring 2015 with Gintama and second cour of Fate.

I was all the season wishing that they used disillusion/This Illusion in some way, but not really expecting that it could happen... but they actually made it!! ufotable based studio, Unlimited Hype Works this is.

My only gripe is that the preview was too spoilerish (it couldn't be more obvious, but they could have tried a more subtle way of refering to THAT)

Damn good episode, loved the anime original scenes with Taiga and Kirei. Gave Taiga just a bit more depth than she got in the VN. I'm honestly not too sure what I thought of the bus scene. I think it was a bit too over the top and I probably prefer it being at the Emiya household like in the VN, but on the other hand I like Archer making the save. Everything else was really well done, I thought.

They pretty much ending it where I was hoping they'd end it, with the addition of short cuts of what the other participants in the war are doing. This Illusion was a really nice touch as well as the visuals in the ending which kind of got me pumped, actually more so than the preview at the end.

For now I'll give this a 8/10 as a placeholder rating until I can watch the BD's plus the rest of the series when it airs in April. Damn, what a long ass time.

Caster got pretty OP =o I hate that bitch now though lol, I want her to die as painfully as possible xD I'm glad to hear that although that stuff was original the feats itself are still canon

Based Kirei is coming through and my goodness Shirou was a complete moron in this episode....I understand why and all but god damn dude, get a grip lol

I'd be lying if I said that Saber wasn't beyond kawaii in this episode and my goodness Rin (Megane Rin tho) was just perfect....Moar foreshadowing for Archer albeit it being very obvious at this point

5/5 Overall I give the first half an easy 9/10 Can't wait for the second half

Glad to see Kirei has not lost his touch in the past 10 years
Caster blasting Assassin's rib cage was a real eye opener
Ending with Shirou losing 'everything' and on his knees

alright that was amazing. week after week i yearned to watch this show. it was the highlight of my saturdays for the past few months. i am not disappoint. from the fan service, to the eye-gasmic action scenes, i cant hope for anything to be better. it truly was an entertaining show, one of my favourites.

10/10

i cant wait for the next season. the final few minutes were truly golden. the pain in shirou's heart as he struggles in his defeat. powerless, unable to be the person he wants to be; unable to help those he love. as he looks ahead in the dark night, there his friend, his savior, telling him that there is nothing left for him to do. in anguish, shirou can only watch as she's carried away by a man, a man with the power, the solution to all of his problem. gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, he hardens his resolve. he wants this power, he wants to be him. :'(

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. pls april come soon.

Oh fuck, seriously? I'm more than okay with that. Talk about an improvement. Now it'll really feel like Fate/stay night now. Well, not that it didn't before, but This Illusion/Disillusion has always been my favorite OP of this series.
