| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was the best anime I have ever scene. Screw 11eyes this by far beats all anime I have seen so far! The score is now a 10. The battle against Berserker...beautiful and Archer's sacrifice noble! Saber's love for Emiya was touching. Saber against Gilgamesh round 1 with the scabbard.....no words can describe the excitment felt. Rin's blood.....no words to even describe the shock. Illiyasviel's nakedness no sadness can compare seeing her being used like that as a vessel for the Holy Grail. Kirei's death...no happiness can be felt as best as that dagger being in him and his death. Finally no T_T can be too much or oveflowing for Saber at the end of this episode....does she really die? TT_TT such a brave Arthuria she was......EXCALIBUR is now my favorite sword nothing I have seen can match to it. I am sure it can cut in half any mecha even. The action was incredible! The emotions were overflowing! The animation quality cannot be compared to anything I have seen with this kind of same setting. Is the series really better and as intense as this episode ever was? I guess I will have to find out. Overall the best I have seen! Glory to Excalibur! Saber I cry for you T_T V  |

| The battles were amazing, the characters interesting and beautiful and the story was sort of cliché at first, but then it got so good that it became an instant classic. Definitely it contains one of the best endings in anime history. This second OVA felt less rushed than the first one but, again, some crucial plot events were overlooked. This is the only fact that prevents me from giving it a 10 (like I ranked the original series) + the rushed pace from the previous OVA, made me score it an 8. Nice remembering such quality work; looking forward to the movie : D |

| They removed Shirou's famous line? :)) Well at least they didn't place the CG dragon again, it felt stupid now that i played the VN. Hope the movie doesn't disappoint, i'm still wondering how they can place the whole UBW route in less than 2 hours. |

Ah man....you just ruined the story on yourself. These OVAs are just a clip show. Tons of stuff was left out. Well it was basically a chopped down version of the anime so I can't give it high marks. But at least I got a kickass version of the Disillusion opening out of it. |

| Terrible. So much stuff was taken out. All the scenes did not flow well. It was just plain terrible. 6/10 |
 |
| It a nice reminder for me because they used only 2 hours to sum up a 24 episode show there was a lack of tension. it would have been nice if there was an short info screen between the scenes The ending was very touching yet please watch the whole show if you liked these two "summary" ova`s |

AidanAK47 said: Absolutely! It's better than the original version. Also the second OVA's ending it's pretty good as well. Better music than the original series overall.But at least I got a kickass version of the Disillusion opening out of it. BTW, the movie's opening and ending singles are awesome! Check them out! Fabienne said: Exactly. Take this into consideration and the OVAs were not that...because they used only 2 hours to sum up a 24 episode show there was a lack of tension. Wasabi said: Terrible. |

It's not supposed to be viewed as a preview for the tv series >.>gives a good preview of what the TV series can be There's something very important that I missed in this though... Where's my "People die if they are killed"? xD But then again, there's Girugameshu! 8D Anyway, I want Unlimited Blade Works, now. Also, more Rin~ <3 I'd say somewhere about 8.. And I kinda feel like raising my original rating of the original tv series to 8 from 7 8D |

| It was beautifully animated and this episode was quite intense, but they fit too much into too small of a time frame. The scenes seemed to jump around with virtually no transition whatsoever. For someone not familiar with the series, this would be hard to follow. |

| Too little Archer. The scene with Berserker took longer than that... Go, go, original series. Even better: the VN. 6/10, at least it was nice to hear the OST again and to have the story in short... |

| To me, the second part of the series was the most epic, and this ova actually ruined all that epicness Still, it was awesome to rewatch the ending =) I wish they'd make hollow ataraxia anime =D |

| The position of synchronizing haha Both wielding 1 sword = possible? it was quite fast but someone I enjoyed all the battle scene Choosing between dream and love, quite hard So it was all a dream? living into the reality.. so what happen to Saber now? anyway since I dropped the series at episode 5, the recap for me is better.. didn't get bored 7/10 |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |

| Boring recap except the last scene when she dies, that is always sad. |

| i was afraid the 2nd part would be with too much cuts, but it were actually pretty good recap without much cuts into the important and deep plot. still felt though that they preferred the action rather than the story. but i must give that the art and animation rework in this part was better. |
