| This was boring and the characters aren't that interesting. The only good thing about this was the animation background, London was greatly done. 5/10. |

| TYPE-MOON, TROYCA, ufotable, Kajiura Yuki!?!?!? = I'M IN!!! |
 |
| Well, i enjoyed it more than i expected. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| That was... pretty bad. Left me pretty unexcited and will probably skip the upcoming season. Maybe next time, ufotable! |
 |
| It was an interesting Special. Not to mention that it works well as a pilot for what's to come in July. Besides, It was nice to see Waver again. Honestly, since I've only seen him as an adult in some few appearances such as UBW's last episode and some scenes in Apocrypha, I thought he would be a super serious person with an extremely stoic face. Gladly, I was wrong since some aspects of his personality still resembles the young Waver. It was great to see all those glimpses to F/Z too, especially the "Admirable" t-shirt Waver was wearing. That was a nice detail. Looking forward to the TV anime. |
| Ah, I remember watching Fate/Zero a long time ago, it was an exciting ride. I remember Rider's death, so emotional, so seeing those flashbacks definitely hook me in. Can't wait for July's full fledged series. I agree that this episode were a bit confusing at first, but it was an Okay prequel episode 7/10 Talcon said: That was... pretty bad.

I saw ufotable in the credits, though |
|
Fair enough. I guess Troyca is on the lead while some members of Ufo are inside the project too... Maybe |

| The thing that was fascinating to me is the fact that this episode was the Fate part that made me feel the connection to Garden of Sinners the most. Especially the clock tower academy felt like Touko or Cornelius could be around any corner (not in terms of timeline but in terms of atmosphere, from what we know about their time studying there). |

Dab1za9 said: Two animators are credited because they reused layouts from Fate/Zero for the flashback. Souka. Why is the visual style so reminiscient of ufotable's works, though? Same guys, different studios? |
|
| Ultra boring.... |
| Gray-tan is too cuuuteee! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Thought this was an ova or something of those until I got here realized that it was a warm up for a tv show. well Waver is still a chicken like before maybe a little bit better, but whats with that crazy look they gave him it doesn't suit his character. |
| A great introduction to the upcoming spinoff. I enjoyed the explanation of the magic. I like the three new characters' dynamic with Waver. |

| He was wearing the shirt! |
| Well this was a gd episode. Waver has changed a lot and became a great man it seems. It will be gd to see more about Waver in the series, expecting gd thngs from it too. |
 |
| Really not a fan of these type of mystery shows, but since it's a spin-off/sequel to Fate/zero I'm willing to give it a chance. I didn't find the mystery to be satisfying at all, but I did like the characters. Art and animation was also pretty good. We'll see where this goes. |
 |
| Interesting glimpse to adult Waver and his life after Fate/Zero. Not feeling it with this show yet, but this is merely a pilot episode so there isn't much room to judge. This feels more Harry Potter meets Sherlock Holmes than an actual Fate series, though lol. |
 |
| Gray is such a cutie hnnnggg. Waver so lucky to have her and he says he doesn't like her face goddammit. |
 |
| Interesting special, looking forward to watching the series Rip the cat, Waver avenged him at least Nice to see Waver Velvet have his own series, after his first appearance in fate/zero with Alexander the Great as his rider |
 |
| I guess that top-tier instructor is the one behind the cursing of Waver. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| It was mostly an introductory episode, it was quite nice but I wish I had skipped it because I love cats and hate to see them dying. |
 |
| Well this was certainly surprising. I wasn't expecting to get so invested in Waver, his collection of odd students, or his philosophical musings. While I'm not yet sold on Escardos, I definitely want to see if Gray's story gets elaborated on and Reines is great. |
| boringaf episode why this special |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Well, that was a lot of prose, proper nouns, and people introduced in the span of a single episode. It was a bit hard to keep up with all the new information suddenly thrown around, and the dialogue was a bit stilted as to include that information. But, regardless, the special did it's job to, at least, introduce the main characters and the setting. Although, it does somewhat worry me that a supernatural mystery story will leverage a lot of magical jargon, if just to justify crazy and illogical actions. It's hard to solve a mystery when you don't know the rules, so I feel like this series will be more about character interactions and visual splendor, rather than involving the viewer in the mystery solving process. |
| That was actually quite enjoyable, like a more adult version of Harry Potter. Though whoever ordered the death of that cat has to die... painfullly so. |
| Interesting beginning to a mystery. Who is the mastermind? I think it's one of the faculty members. Probably even his sister. His sister is super cute, by the way. If I were Waver, it's the wincest route to preserve the bloodline! Aww, it sucks that he couldn't save the cat and he still has Alexander's t-shirt. Decent action scenes and Aston Martin vs. Porsche. |
