My impression so far: very impressed! Great start for Tohsaka and Archer and I already feel connected to each of them as characters.

We can all rest easy now knowing that this series is in good hands. This is already looking to me as the definitive FSN adaptation by miles. How about that animation? The fight between Archer and Lancer was just how I imagined it while reading the visual novel.

I'm already fanboying out on this show and it just started.
Weren't you the one who wanted an anime original route because the UBW was already made into a movie? @_@"

Way different.

The 06 series was kind of a (terrible) mashup of the game's three routes, although with the Fate (Saber) route as its basis. This is a straight-up adaptation of UBW, which is Rin's route. Basically, more Rin and less everyone else, which is a great thing because Rin is objectively the best Fate girl.


Ah, okay. That's refreshing to hear. I really do like Rin as a character myself, and I've never really liked Emiya Shirou, so that's a bonus for me I guess if there is less of him.

I dont think you understood what he said.Shirou is still the MC with most focus.

The only difference is how other chars treat her.The characterization is the same.


And she havent any honor buddy here and it's great.

When Sakura and Rin were talking, why did the door get closed? Was it Archer like "leaving then alone" for a few seconds?

One of the best opening episodes EVAR. The fight scene flung it into fully awesome territory. Even the dialogue scenes are engaging to watch visually, now (looking at you, F/0)!

Oohh. Well then..

Hopefully this time around I'll like Shirou more than I did previous, which wouldn't surprise me if I did.

Assuming they keep it up, Shirou should turn out to be a much better character than his 2006 version.

It's even on the title of Kataomoi that it's for the 2nd season. It's also in the synopsis of Hakuoki Hekketsuroku episode 0 that it aired before the second season.

And this one isn't for the second season.

They were both aired for the purpose of Prodogue of 2nd seasons. And it's like this ep. (even the title is "Prologue").

I love how just the first few days of Shirou and Tohsaka getting their servant will be about as long as the movie covering the entire route. That alone should tell you something about the UBW movie.

Possibly one of my favourite first (well, in this case 0) episode I've ever watched. Yesterday I finished rewatching Fate Zero and the step-up in animation/art in this is quite noticeable, which is surprising considering how good it was already. Other than that, Archer has already stolen the show and Rin's tsundere personality is actually cute and didn't bother me at all. The ost seemed to be excellent as well, so I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about this episode. I have a few questions which I hope will be answered sooner than later, but other than that this could turn out to be stellar.

The weird thing is that I'm praising so much the remake of one of the worst show I've watched and I'm not even a VN reader.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Okay, just rewatched the episode. And I start liking the music more and more.
Also, that tsun-tsun Rin remains more and more adorable. That scene where Rin wastes an command seal... LOL. And the scene with Shinji. That face from Rin and how hard he got owned there.

Fight scene remains the best part. Hm. Did Archer
power up in the VN too? I didn't think so, but maybe that's something in other sources did happen (re the scene where Lancer tries to goad him into fetching his bow, and Rin telling Archer he gets no support and has to go all-out)

In case all the action-heavy scenes get as beautifull animation as this one, I'll give the show an 22/10 ^^

Except that while this is titled "Episode 0" its part of main production, making it episode 1/twentywhatever.

Stop throwing in confusion. There's already an entry for full anime. This is part of airing order. This is part of the whole story. This is how story begins. Its not "before" the story. This separate entry for prologue should not exist in the first place.
