| Pretty entertaining Anime for a Fate series. Really liked the characters, personally not been a great fan of Waver in general, but I really like the development he has gotten. Gray is also a great addition to the Fate-waifu list. I think the Lore was a bit hard to grasp at times, mostly to blame on me for not being into it too much, but I really enjoyed it nevertheless. 8/10 |

| As an standalone show was kinda crappy, but for someone who has seen most Fate material (even some LN) I really loved this one and all the expansion and unions it did in the fate part of the Nasuverse, the last scene with Rider made me increase the score from 7 to 8 (Broskander is best servant) |

| That was a very enjoyable show, hope we get a season 2 preferably more focused on Gray. |

emolano said: Isn't something missing between the end of the last episode and the beginning of this one? Like an epic fight where the priest dies and the villain escapes or something? There was no lack of information but it was kind of anti-climatic. The priest died when he closed his eyes and collapsed. The anime did rush it because needed to put Rhon animation scene. Heartless overturns his heart and just takes Faker away, you know, like what he did with the DA child forest. It also skipped the case where Svin got his promotion. I think I said this, Rail Zeppelin is just a set up for other arcs, including Grand Roll finale. It's like adaptating the chapter 2 of a book. |
| a decent ending, but the only word that comes to mind about this show is - boredom. perhaps, detective fiction something i don't enjoy, especially in fate setting. fate without servant x master action is quite boring to say the least |
 |
| Rider: Are you ready to come here boy? Waver: I'm still not worthy to stand by your side. Because the pain of the path leading there and the glory at its end must be gained in real life. Not here but in my battlefield of Lord El Melloi II. Rider: I see, well then I dare ask.... Was the journey so far been fun for you? Waver: Ah Of course... Rider. One of the best conversations after his last battle as Rider's master. We need more Broskander X Waver moments!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| That moment between Rider and Waver reminded me of Fate Zero all over again! So good! Well, kind of a disappointment. At first, i was thinking to myself "a story that follows Waver as an adult? why not?", and got into it right away! But as the episodes went on, i felt myself being bored to the core, idk why... The story didn't click with me anymore, and so i've lost interested possibly around episode 5/6. 6/10 |

| Sweet ending for a really good series. I really hope there'll be season 2, or at least OVA or movie for this. Good job by Troyca, director Makoto Katou and of course Yuki Kajiura. I really love the whole Gray and Waver, Waver and Iskandar and also Waver with his students moments. Even for small Melvin chatting with Gray too. And yeay! Reines becoming friends with Olga Marie! I'll miss all the characters and the series... T_T |
uninstallthegame said: a decent ending, but the only word that comes to mind about this show is - boredom. perhaps, detective fiction something i don't enjoy, especially in fate setting. fate without servant x master action is quite boring to say the least Well, to be fair, it's not promoting itself as a main "Fate" series, but more as a spinoff series. So, obviously someone who went into this should keep that in mind since the beginning. |
| it was a good episode. i liked the scene where Waver told Gray that he is gonna need her power in the future. i'm glad they'll remain together. |
| 2 major mistranslations in this episode: 03:21 = source of information. 05:06 = stepbrother (not brother-in-law):  |
| A very mellow yet good final episode. I especially liked the insight we got into Waver`s character, his progression and personal goals. Somewhat disappointed with Gray though. The journey did not change her like at all. Top moment was Iskander and Waver dacing each other. Clearly, they are playing the nostalgia but I did not mind it. |
 |
| Probably the worst Type Moon/Fate related thing to date (and that's saying something). Holy crap does this franchise love inhaling its own farts at this point, I love how it presents all these non-sensical deductions as brilliant detective work while everything is resolved and explained with the help of some grandiosely presented magical mumbo jumbo. It doesn't help that the other focus of the show is based on the daddy issues of the most obnoxious character from Fate/Zero. |

Honestly, I am surprised that there are so few comments about any gay vibes in this ending, especially after the show screenwriter raised the topic of LGBTQ representations on Twitter, and ANN tried to "justify" MC from incel charges, claiming that he "hold himself" for Iskander, lol. |
 |
| I really enjoyed the show. As a Type-Moon fan it was a great experience. I wish for the second second, so we could see Touko Aozaki from Kara no Kyoukai again. |
MisterChief53 said: Made me tear up at the end. Hopefully some day the novels get official translations. I would buy all of them with no hesitation We have the same wishes |
| Nice conclusion to the series, a bit emotional at the Waver and Iskander part. The dynamic of this duo is like in FZ. Gray cute as usual and Reines befriend her. Overall its a good installment of the Fate franchise. 5/5 for the episode, 7/10 to the series |

Everyone knows about Waver's bisexual hopeless harem because he'll forever chase Iskandar. Not sure how can he be an 'incel' when he's the most popular person in the Clocktower that wants to bed by the type Strange Fake rolls in (he moved from fourth to first spot!). He's just not interested. |

Fate franchise has weird kind of fujoshi fans, they are called "silent" ones. Also its a meme, you know something fate is so deep in no one knows the truth anymore. |
 |
| Damn, I almost teared up with that heartfelt reunion between Waver and Iskandar. Especially after thinking I wouldn't hear Rider's voice not even once during this series. Overall, quite calm/relaxing final episode with a really heartwarming conclusion for this part of the story. As a whole, this anime was a quite pleasant experience, even more when you are fan of the universe and characters. I loved the fanservice in general as well, especially the cameos and references to another Fate works. Absolutely wouldn't mind a second season. More Reines would be much appreciated, honestly. 7/10 - Now, let's jump universes and see what one of Fate/Grand Order's "best story arcs" can offer. |

| Bro, I legitimately wasn't expecting to watch this episode and fucking cry with the dream scene. That was fantastic. Overall, I'd give the anime an *8/10*. Evidently not perfect by any means considering how messy it was from time to time, but I was rather satisfied with what we got ultimately. Fate's selling point will never necessarily be the storytelling, but, man, do I love these characters. New faces like Reines and Gray were a treat to watch. Even minor roles like Svin, Flat, and Melvin were charming. The cameo appearances of Olga, Shishigou, Caules, and Luvia were a fun welcome/throwback that you did not see coming. Given the mixed reception, it wouldn't be the hugest loss if we didn't get a second season, but I'd be definitely down for more if it ever were to happen. |

He's just not interested. You need to ask ANN for this, personally, I didn't notice any actual romance in this show at all. I think that if Waver were a girl, on the contrary, they would defend his right to virginity or celibacy. |

| This show was alright, its character moments with waver and his relationship with gray kind of had to carry it cause the actual storylines present felt really substandard and lacking. I really would of enjoyed more episodes like this one over the random mysteries that never really had any pay off or intrigue, I enjoyed the train part fair enough but felt it started to fall apart as it went along with how the villain was just some asshole we never met before, and unfortunately that guy also just seems kind of lame despite it looking like hes the main antagonist going foreword if we get any more seasons. I'd like another season if it happens but on its own this was just ok, I'm giving it a very low 6/10 solely cause the character moments do bump it up a point from mediocrity. I think id like the cast given more time to see any of them used |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Hmm... so what was even the point of this series? The plot moved basically nowhere and whole Rail Zepellin case was utterly disappointing in terms of developement and even dialogue-wise (Adashino was probably the worst because her "deductions" and empty technobabble doesn't make any real sense). This series should really should have stayed episodic, with each detective case being only one episode - and then it would have worked but not like this - the introduction of Faker and was completely downplayed with fake cliffhanger the last episode for example and I still struggle to see what this series was even about... Also, I don't buy whole Iskandar dream sequence at all, that was just fanservice something that was meant to cover previously bad writing. For whole series Waver was chasing something from FZ that really didn't need any explanation and expansion. It was kinda pointless watching this when we already know what will happen in 5thHGW. And as such the real meat of this series should stay in his relation with Gray whose past was hardly explored in detail too. And I would also do without all those annoying comedy relief characters like Flat, Malvin, Yvette and so on. All-in-all, another pretty forgettable series that tries to prey original FSN/FZ franchise (again). It probably wasn't as bad as Apocrypha (or it is other way around? Apocrypha did have at least some interesting characters unlike this one I guess). Give it some time and noone will even remember this (the same happened to Apocrypha already, minus Kairi maybe). 4/10 We need real sequel, honestly, bring in Ataraxia already. |
| A good finaly with a lot of funny characters interactions! So Waver is stepping out of fifth Grail War, i am glad he made that decision! I am glad Grey managed to give he rpresent to Waver! The last scene in Waver's dream with Rider was really heartwarming! Overall, i really enjoyed this anime, mistery and detective thing where really amusing, character were also wonderfull, and also god aniamtion and art, and the soundtracks were a masterpiece for me! 8 out of 10! |
 |
| you know you're old when you hear Waver said "Rider" |
 |
| Faker isn't Hephaestion. It was a fake identity. |
dasprn said: Rider: Are you ready to come here boy? Waver: I'm still not worthy to stand by your side. Because the pain of the path leading there and the glory at its end must be gained in real life. Not here but in my battlefield of Lord El Melloi II. That quote, better than any other Fate characters so far. Waver has finally grown up. |
| quite a heartwarming moment with Rider - was nice to see the big guy again the show overall was okay (the mysteries were a bit mweh sometimes) - think if it weren't for the familiar Fate characters I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much I do have the silent hope that it'll get a season 2 or something, cuz I'd love to see more of Waver |
| I didn't know half of what was going on through out this entire anime. Only came because... because... I don't actually remember why I started watching this. It wasn't for the characters, or the story, or the quality, or the name. I just sort of did... It was good though. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Kinda late to this but what ever. Pretty chill episode we had, wanted the continuation of the fight but I guess that was a big no. not bad for side show of Fate series but worth watching if you are into it. 7/10 Gray <3 |
| Seeing Waver meet Iskandar again was satisfying. Good closure and much better than the preceding several episodes. This show is a mixed bag for me. Every episode before the Rail Zeppelin arc were pretty forgettable, but they had superior character-building moments. Once the story switched to the train, however, Waver was the only one who had any actual depth. As for the train mystery itself, it started off promising, but slowly became more contrived as it dragged on. The final nail in the coffin was the introduction of a forgettable new character as the big bad, which is kind of poor writing. I wish they explored Gray's past more. She had the potential to become the most interesting character especially after fragments of her past was revealed by the priest. Instead, she was criminally underutilized. 5.5/10 |
 |
| I really hope that this series will get a second season. The story, animation, music, characrers. I loved everything about this. There are more "cases" than just Rail Zeppelin, so I really hope that we will see more. |
 |
| Somewhat of a mediocre and disappointing series, perhaps more so in that department than Fate Apocrypha. As a fantasy series it's okay, maybe, but good action scenes are few and far in between and the mystery solving feels incredibly barebones and conclusory. The overall plot does not feel compelling at all either--all this time I was wondering what it is they think the audience should care about. The only bright spots are probably the relationships between Waver and Gray and Waver and Reines, but absent a stronger showing in a season 2 (if there is one) this is going to be as forgettable as they come. |
| The dream had me crying |
 |
| This was pretty good, much more enjoyable than fate/kaleid in my opinion, I like how Waver has changed quite a bit compared to fate/zero Can't wait for a second season |
 |
| More like this episode, less average mystery |
