Nicely done episode, though a bit rushed.
Taiga is even more genki than in the VN. I thought it was impossible.
Sakura is portrayed perfectly.
Fighting scenes are godlike.

Opening gives an impression that we will have some Fate-only scenes in this adaptation.
Also, I wonder, if they will give some more screen time for Rider, so that the viewers will learn what they should from the Fate route. (I don't even doubt they will do something like this for Kirei and Ilya.)

There's no space for all of that though. And Kirei and Illya


And they did say that they won't add anything from other routes and it will be pure UBW.

By the way, is it just my imagination that Saber looks more VN-like than she did in F/Z?
I mean, more like a "girl about 2 years younger than Shirou".

People are expecting a substantial amount of monologues in this? I'm pretty sure Ufotable are going to do the bare minimum to get the essence of the character across.

I did acknowledge that they did manage to portray his MOTIVATION decently. Its the badassery part that was under-scored(in lancer encounter), even though they did manage to show the epic split second dodge he did.

Some of that.
ALso training with Kerry.
Also casually dodging Ayako's attack near the gym, even the blindside one that should have surprised him
They also kept the split second dodge at the start of lancer encounter where Shirou rolls out o fthe way seconds before lancer lands the spear.

The problem is that they did not show how his mind works in that moment.

Then I wouldnt worry.

I mean we have so much more to see, including
so how he thinks in order to do stuff be it magecraft or not isn't something to worry about just from this.

I think your problem is more of what secondaries will think and I think you already know that even if that scene was like in the VN, some people wouldnt just not care at all.

This forum thread right now:

via imgflip meme generator


From a perspective of someone who hasn't played the VN, I thought this episode could have achieved much more. Even if it was dedicated mostly to Shirou, I feel like I haven't learned all that much about him (besides what I've already known from the last episode of Fate/Zero 2). The comic relief moments were fine but not particularly helpful or necessary. I guess I'll have to wait and read some of the other comments to see if this kind of development for Shirou was the right step.

OP and ED are nothing out of the ordinary... just sound like remakes of what both artists have made in the past.

That has more to do with the japanese mentality.

Openings usually spoil things to come(you are expected to know the source material for adaptations). At least in this case Ufo was a bunch of trolls otherwise.

Upon a rewatch I see that quite a bit of his monologue was implied silentlyas an example his mannerism when he encounters Shinji at top of stairs, pretty much going to "how should I react to this?"

Welp, that shows my poor knowledge of a VN I haven't read in years than.

though considering I don't remember it much, it must have been a really short scene (by short I mean compared to how long the visual novel was overall).


It last same amount of time it id in the ep. It just does not have a CG for itself in the VN
