----------------------------------------
These two are really made for each other... Saber and Emiya =)

There are questions though...
How did Emiya manage to survive getting half his stomach cut off?
or
Why didn't Archer interfere during the fight?

Will keep watching, things are getting interesting ^^

I find it hard to believe that Archer wasn't with Rin. That was obviously made up so that Emiya would get hit and he would get a reason to fight.

Lesson No.1: Always protect a girl, no matter what the consequences are.

Sakura acted like she know,that Rin came from the direction of Emiya's house...

For some reason, the way Emiya Shirou behaves really irritates me. The things he says, the words he uses. So naive, oblivious to the way things are. Keeps on shouting and calling out Saber again and again and again. Yet being unable to do anything, but still keeps on calling out her name.

His beliefs and the way he goes about doing things, his character, for some reason, annoys me the same way that Inoue Orihime from bleach does. The way he lets himself get taken advantage of and made use of by Matou Shinji in episode 2. Volunteering to get used by others and naively smiling about it. Especially when it's so obvious.

I have to admit though. In terms of principles, he and Saber suit each other.

I can't believe this. Am I the only one who feels this way about Shirou?

Wow Heracles huh? Well I doubt that Heracles really has all the power of Heracles in greek mythology but that sounds mightily strong. Wonder what's the heroic spirit of Saber?

Aside from that bit about Shirou and Saber being suited for each other, I agree absolutely.

While Saber is probably just as dense as Shirou, she, at least, is more altruistic.
Peace through Superior Firepower!

Whoa Berserk was Hyper Powerful.... But heck... how come Mr. Emiya is still alive!! That's just wicked man!!! After he almost got cut in two halves, the guy still managed to survive the fatal blow and be safe and sound the next morning (afew hours later!!)... Heck that regeneration ability is pretty useful ain't it? XD... So wimpy lame Shirou dun want to fight in the Holy Grail War, but he has to fight all because he signed the contract with Saber... In the end, he's getting attached to Saber and he's convinced to fight now... Which is good but just as Kira01 said... either Rin or Saber will be destroyed in the end of the War... Well meanwhile, looks like all the girls want Shirou, so this will turn into an actiony harem hahahaha... Nice one dude... I wanna a harem just like yours!!! XD.... Yeh he's useless (and he should learn something to fight back), but hey his coolness factor is still high hahaha

First time Rin used magic to save him.
This time... well, you will know later on.

Anyway, I see that they are mixinf Fate and UBW path here (and will probably mix HF path as well later on). Not really liking that fact because one path has enough material to make a good anime series and mixing can have bad consequences.

Saber seems amazing! No wonder she's popular. And for the record I don't really like Emiya, I hate his character types. It bothers me to the ends of earth.

But I think his interaction with Saber has been great, so I'll give him that much. And why do I get the feeling that Sakura is going to go maybe haywire towards the end? I don't like her. Not one bit.

Man, Saber is awesome! I love her earnest and no-nonsense approach to everything ("extravagance is our enemy"). On top of that, she seems to be quite moe as well ^__^

Also, Sakura was pretty sharp this episode...I REALLY hope there's no love triangle or something bothersome like that. Had enough of that in Shakugan no Shana, which this show definitely reminds of. At any rate, hoping for some good character development and fights in the future.

She has the hots for Shirou, duh. Well, that and Shirou is not a magus, just a magic user. She didn't want to fight him when he was confused. After all, Kiritsugu was supposed to properly explain everything to whomever was his succesor, which he didn't.

After reading this part in the VN, I don't agree with this. It's more to do with his relationship with a certain someone than anything. That and Rin is shown to be a rather "honorable" person.

I echo myself from a few years ago, this was the first episode i've really enjoyed.

Oh, and to answer the question of why Archer didn't show up. He was severely injured when attacked by Saber and thus has to heal up..if I remember correctly, Rin sent him back to her mansion with her command spell. I'm again not exactly sure why the anime left out a fairly important detail.

That's because F/Z spoils almost everything in first episode. I still think the best order to enjoy this this is (game, not needed but it's better to play the original first and watch anime after that) -> F/SN (Fate Route) - > UBW - > F/Z (starting with this may sound cool but almost nothing will surprise you after that)- > F/KL (just for references).

Anyway, many nice moments this time. I like the moment where wounded Saber was supporting herself by her invisible sword (scene taken from game). And also Saber sitting in dojo with ordinary clothes on. Sakura infuriated by Rin coming from Emiya household was also cute ^^

Oh, Illya is such a cold blooded girl :o Not even as sweet as her mother. And she has a Berserker-class servant that's super strong, amazing! Maybe she's also going to turn into the Holy Grail in the end like Irisvil :o
So Shirou was healed by Saber's Avalon...
I expect Sakura to be on this war for the Holy Grail, maybe she's Lancer's master? I bet she'll be acting under the Matou's family orders :/ Excited to see Rin and Sakura together, I wonder what'd happen =X
Wut? "Eating" or "killing" humans gives servants magic power? That wasn't stated in F/Z... Maybe that's the reason why Gille de Rais, the Caster-class in F/Z, was killing so many kids, but I always thought they did it for pleasure/fun... It's getting a bit confusing now.
Saber is kawaii in F/SN, is not as a crappy character as in F/Z *-*

Nothing. Don't expect any resolution or explanation in that.

Because FSN comes first and explains most of conepts, so there's no need for it to be stated in F/0. Also no, F/0 Caster was just an insane freak.

Mana transfer works either directly via grail(like most masters/servants), via sexual behavior or via bloody ritualistic murders.
