I'm pretty sure most people agree the F/SN anime sucks.


It doesn't suck that much but it does give Fate stay night a bad name. But yeah it does suck when you compare it to the original.

I want to confirm something from Sakura's spoiler
Is this true and did it start at the time of this episode? If this is true and something like that is shown (will it even be shown in this series?), you can bet some will go ape shit. That's all I will say. I am totally shocked at learning about Sakura in general now.

Yes, very impressive ufotable. Animation is superb as well as fight scenes looks well animated judging by that absolutely gorgeous opening.

My body is ready for this. This will be fun. Also dat WORMS!! poor Sakura.

Other then that it was awesome and I loved the scene at the end while the servants where bring summoned. FSN lacked that kind of epicness.

This series seems like it's being set up well. It felt like it was around that sweet spot of not being noticeably cliche or trying to grab your attention as the first episode; basically, it is the way you should start a long epic story. The environments and the way everyone is presented and talks is very filmic and not over the top, which creates that style that makes KnK stand out. This was also like a wet dream for someone like me who read the Heaven's Feel route. Seeing all the rooms, worms, and characters not shown in the DEEN anime is amazing. I kinda feel bad for people who didn't play the Heaven's Feel route that watch this. I did not read FZ, but glad I held off because I like being in store for a surprises in good anime adaptations.

This entire episode made my day. I had a shitty day today but watching this first episode of FZ tonight made the entire day worth it.


Also, Rin is the best Type-Moon girl ever.


Personally, Im rooting for that low-class magus that stole the relic the English guy was supposed to get. That teacher was a dick. I know more or less how it ends up, though, but its still fun picking a side.



I want to be a magus. :(

Looks like this is going to be pretty good, but I'm not as fanatical about it as everyone else is. Definitely looks like it will be better than fate/stay night (which I thought was just ok). I know the VN is supposed to be better, but I don't care to play it at the moment (as much as I would like to try out some VNs, they are a major time sink).

i am so surprised at ppl that call it boring.sure at some point of this ep they start reviewing all the masters/servants and stuff but before and after that is pure awesomeness.
after illya's birth we have the part with tokiomi and Risei going around kotomine to force him to join forces with tokiomi and got suprised that he accepted so quickly...
then we have creepy zouken with Kaiji's Archenemy's Voice actor plus Sakura's dark childhood.
and then one of the most interesting masters of fate/zero,velvet.then at the end we have summoning scenes plus nostalgic saber dialogue!(imo the OP was good too)if it was F/SN casts it would be boring but these pairs sure deserve more !!!

I read the VN before, but the animation and delivery from ufotable and of course, writer Urobochi Gen for original materials, this first episode was a spectacle.

Yes, it's true.
I see so when they adapt that Route in Fate/Stay Night it will be another hard one to pass. Already my limit was passed with Unlimited and that heart part with Gilgamesh.

The artstyle was fantastic! I really hope it remains that way for the rest of the show.

Despite the huge amount of dialogue and the complete lack of action scenes I wasn't bored one second nor did I have problems to follow the plot. As a introduction episode it fulfully succeeded.

As expected of Fate/Zero made by ufotable, the production values were very high, the characters very interesting and correctly introduced and the darkness of the title beautifully rendered on screen (and music I must say). Fantastic start.

Yeah but he is shown already being insane as it is. You mean what happens to Sakura as being due to the impact the story has on him.

That I could understand as I see things unfold. I already what the worst shit might be and yeah I overact but only due to my emotions being strong. Forget about Unlimited reaction and first time reactions to the sequel of this.

Guess you could say the first avatars of Saber from this series are out:

this is just one but rest with other GIFs:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=334029&show=0#post1
we going to make this series something to make graphs from. Well I am at least going to try and pump out lots.

Is there any way to change servants? I have a bad feeling for Berserker being chosen on such a weak Master. Berserker was good for Illyasvield in Fate Night Stay but that's only only because she was young but this person is worn out. More over I am not sure those worms would contribute in helping him.

Finally after 4 long LONG years of wait Fate/Zero is here.

Gotta say the quality was superb, SUPERB I SAY. The first episode was really well done as the elaborated alot about the background information.

And finally i still gotta say THIS SERIES GETS ME SO PSYCH MY BODY IS LITERALLY SHACKING WITH EXCITEMENT. Good thing my 5/6months break is coming soon so i can watch this without a care in the world :D

it is possible for masters to get another servant in situation that both sides don't have any contract with others ( like how rin got saber in UBW since caster used rule breaker on saber and archer ) and the worms already did help with Karyia's magic power otherwise he couldn't become a master but the price is too high...

Yeah but means doing that kind of situation. It sounds complex. I do remember that exception being done. I wonder if there will be a situation like that in this series? Would be nice to see how one is performed during the 4th war.

Really? I though he was very adept at being a powerful magic user.

Damn right the price is too high and Sakura also has that burden now. Damn fucking old shit bastard needs a eternal rest before he could do what he did to Sakura. The worms are already enough to give me nightmares. I am tired good night to you!

Gotta be honest, I didn't really like this until the summoning scene kicked in..and then it ended. D: I shall give this anime a huge chance though. And I haven't seen Fate/Stay Night either (aside from the first episode) so this is pretty much all new to me, maybe it'll take me longer to get into than it will for most people. =/

But I must say I love Waver and shoot me if you must but he reminded me a bit of young Severus Snape lol.

No.

Don't spread heresy.
Its as accurate as a portrait of you done by 4 year old child.

It completelly glosses over major and important points, misses the main motivation behind Shiro, strips the hsow form all its deeper meaning and then completely fucks it all up with the last half of series.


DEEN produced FSN never ever ever should be mentioned in front of those who actually care for fate franchise and overall nasuverse.

The end.

---------------------------------


As for episode, good to see a decent fate adaptation, bu tit kind of makes me sad that FSN never ever ever ever got this kind of treatment. One can only hope that FSN remake will be made one day by these same folks who are doing fate/zero. And then maybe one day someone will actually make an adaptation of Tsukihime. Its the only work to not even have an adaptation right now :[

as Zouken told in this ep Karyia didn't had any serious training.he could be a gr8 magi if he had trained before that is why zouken was mad at him and the fact that he could get rdy in this short time even with zouken's help is considered amazing itself if u compare it with some other masters but adding berserker enhancement to his summoning was too much in that condition.

Yeah Fate stay night does need a remake by Ufotable, and this time the Heavens feel route. And no 1 hr and 40 min like the UBW movie(I can't believe how badly they killed the UBW route).

No, this is a special premiere, so the other eps are the regular 25-min.

Well. the first ep is quite nicely done, in my opinion. A lot of dialogues, but I'd read the novel so I'd kinda expected the non-appearance of action scenes in this ep. And I'd rather they do the build-up properly in order to make room for newcomers. But if this adaption is faithful to the original, then I'd doubt there would be any action in the next ep, either.

One thing I noticed in the first ep: When I saw Kariya, I think he looked remarkably like that guy Daikichi in Usagi Drop. Their roles are quite similar, too. They both sacrifice themselves for the sake of a young girl, though Daikichi had it better than Kariya.

And to me, the F/SN anime is quite like the Ef anime: Newcomers might find them appealing but fans of the VN usually hate them because they're unfaithful to the original version.
