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? =.=

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.

So if you think there's no sense for something, that means it's a bait? Kek. In fact, I just think while the visuals are pretty good in this episode, the character designs are worse, those blushings made even worse and it was very strange. I didn't find this problem in the past episodes. So why I can't comment on that?

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.

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

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.

Maybe. 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.

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.

Personally, I think the faces of the characters are unfitting with the environment, which is dark and very smooth. Saber is bothering me a bit more though, because even her body looks out of proportion. I didn't like the character designs as a whole, but I guess in this episode this problem was more noticeable for me. Perhaps it's because they spent a lot doing all that stuff. I really don't know, but it felt extremely strange.

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.....

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.

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.

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.

About 5 mins being cut each episode.

13 X 5 = 65

And we have a little more, I suppose.

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.

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!
